Practicing Success
The points of non differentiability of $f(x) =|x-2|+|x-3|$ A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 E. 5 Choose the correct answer from the options given below : |
A and B only B and C only A and C only A and D only |
B and C only |
The correct answer is Option (2) → B and C only $f(x) =|x-2|+|x-3|=\left\{\begin{matrix}2x-5,&x>3\\1,&2≤x≤3\\-2x+5,&x<2\end{matrix}\right.$ so $f'(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}2,&x>3\\0,&2<x<3\\-2,&x<2\end{matrix}\right.$ so $\lim\limits_{x→2^+}f'(x)=2≠0=\lim\limits_{x→3^-}f'(x)$ $\lim\limits_{x→2^+}f'(x)=0≠-2=\lim\limits_{x→2^-}f'(x)$ point of non differentiability → 2, 3 |
