Correct answer: 4
- Given function
We have
where is the greatest integer function.
We need points in where is
- not continuous: number
- not differentiable: number
Then find .
- First write interval-wise using
In , the integer jumps of occur at .
For
Here .
- If , then , so
- If , then , so
For
Here .
- If , then , so
- If , then , so
So
Hence
Since in each interval the expression is already nonnegative, we get
- Check continuity at possible problem points
These are the only possible points where continuity/differentiability may fail.
At
Left limit:
Right limit:
Since LHL RHL, is not continuous at .
At
Left limit:
Right limit:
Also, So is continuous at .
At
Left limit:
Right limit:
And So is continuous at .
Thus the number of discontinuity points is
- Check differentiability
A function not continuous at a point cannot be differentiable there. So at , is not differentiable.
Now check the continuous junctions and .
At
From the left, , so left derivative is
From the right, , so right derivative is
Since , is not differentiable at .
At
From the left, , so left derivative is From the right, , so right derivative is Since , is not differentiable at .
Inside each open interval , the function is linear, hence differentiable.
Therefore, the number of non-differentiability points is
- Compute required value
So the required integer is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
Our derived answer also is , so they agree.
