Correct answer: 4
- Understand the function
Given
For ,
So is a triangular function supported on .
More explicitly,
- for , , so
- for , , so
- outside , .
Thus is continuous everywhere, but not differentiable at
- Form
We determine where each term is nonzero.
- when
- when
So is supported on , with a joining point at .
- Find piecewise expression for
Case 1:
Then , so Also , so . Hence
Case 2:
Then , so And still , so . Thus
Case 3:
Then , so except at endpoint , but formula-wise on this interval it is . Also , so Hence
Case 4:
Then , so . Also , so Thus
Outside these intervals, .
So,
- Count points where is not continuous
Possible trouble points are the junctions: Check continuity:
-
At : left value , right value . Continuous.
-
At : from left , from right . Continuous.
-
At : from left , from right . Continuous.
-
At : from left , right value . Continuous.
Also at , from both sides , so continuous.
Therefore,
- Count points where is not differentiable
On each open interval, is linear, so differentiable there. Possible non-differentiability points are the junctions: (At , same formula on both sides, so differentiable.)
Now compare left and right derivatives:
-
At : left derivative , right derivative . Not differentiable.
-
At : left derivative , right derivative . Not differentiable.
-
At : left derivative , right derivative . Not differentiable.
-
At : left derivative , right derivative . Not differentiable.
Thus,
- Final value
So the required integer is
