Correct answer: B
We need the set of all real where is not differentiable.
The only possible trouble points come from the presence of , i.e. at . For , both and are differentiable as compositions of differentiable functions.
So we only need to check differentiability at .
1. Rewrite piecewise
Case 1:
Then , so
Differentiate: So
Hence the right-hand derivative at is
Case 2:
Then , so Using and ,
Differentiate: Thus
Hence the left-hand derivative at is
2. Compare left and right derivatives at
We get Therefore is differentiable at .
3. Check all other points
For every , the function is a combination of differentiable functions, so it is differentiable there as well.
Thus there is no real value of where is not differentiable.
Therefore,
So the correct option is B.
4. Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: B
Our derived answer: B
They agree.
