Let ƒ(x) = 15 – |x – 10|; x R. Then the set of all values of x, at which the function, g(x) = ƒ(ƒ(x)) is not differentiable, is :
Multiple Choice Options
- A {10,15}
- B {5,10,15,20}
- C {10}
- D {5,10,15}
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
ƒ(x) = 15 – |x – 10|
g(x) = ƒ(ƒ(x)) = 15 – |ƒ(x) – 10|
= 15 – |15 – |x – 10| – 10|
= 15 – |5 – |x – 10||
As this is a linear expression so it is non differentiable when value inside the modulus is zero.
So non differentiable when
x – 10 = 0 x = 10
and 5 – |x – 10| = 0
|x – 10| = 5
x - 10 = 5
x = 5, 15
g(x) is not differentiable at x = 5, 10, 15.
g(x) = ƒ(ƒ(x)) = 15 – |ƒ(x) – 10|
= 15 – |15 – |x – 10| – 10|
= 15 – |5 – |x – 10||
As this is a linear expression so it is non differentiable when value inside the modulus is zero.
So non differentiable when
x – 10 = 0 x = 10
and 5 – |x – 10| = 0
|x – 10| = 5
x - 10 = 5
x = 5, 15
g(x) is not differentiable at x = 5, 10, 15.
