The set of all points where the function $f(x) = x + |x|$ is differentiable, is: |
$(0, \infty)$ $(-\infty, 0)$ $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$ $(-\infty, \infty)$ |
$(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $(-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$ ## $Lf'(0) = 0$ and $Rf'(0) = 2$; so, the function is not differentiable at $x = 0$. For $x ≥ 0, f(x) = 2x$ (linear function) and when $x < 0$ $f(x) = 0$ (constant function). Hence, $f(x)$ is differentiable when $x \in (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty)$. |
