Correct answer: 1
- Given function
We have
Let Then for ,
We must find the number of points in where is not differentiable.
- Study on
Differentiate:
So:
- for ,
- for ,
- at .
Hence on :
- increases on ,
- decreases on .
Now compute key values:
Thus the maximum of up to behaves as follows:
- for , since is increasing, the maximum on is attained at ,
- for , since decreases after , the maximum on remains the value at .
Therefore,
for the first part.
For ,
So overall,
- Check differentiability at possible joining points
Inside each open interval:
- : polynomial, so differentiable.
- : constant function, so differentiable.
- : linear function, so differentiable.
Thus only possible non-differentiable points are and .
- At
From the left, so
From the right, , so
Hence is differentiable at .
- At
From the left, , so
From the right, , so
Since is not differentiable at .
Also, is continuous there because
- Count of non-differentiable points in
There is only one such point, namely .
Therefore, the required number is
