The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = |\sin x| \) in terms of its continuity and differentiability. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function**: The function \( f(x) = |\sin x| \) takes the sine function and reflects any negative values above the x-axis. This means where \( \sin x \) is negative, \( |\sin x| \) will be positive. 2. **Graphing the Function**: To visualize \( f(x) \), we can sketch the graph of \( \sin x \) and then reflect the portions below the x-axis: - From \( 0 \) to \( \pi \), \( \sin x \) is non-negative, so \( f(x) = \sin x \). - From \( \pi \) to \( 2\pi \), \( \sin x \) is negative, so \( f(x) = -\sin x \). - This pattern continues for each interval of \( [n\pi, (n+1)\pi] \). 3. **Identifying Points of Non-Differentiability**: The points where \( \sin x \) crosses the x-axis are \( x = n\pi \) for \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \). At these points, the function \( f(x) \) has a sharp corner (or cusp), which makes it non-differentiable. 4. **Checking Continuity**: The function \( f(x) \) is continuous everywhere because there are no breaks in the graph. The limit from the left and right at any point \( x \) matches the function value at that point. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, we conclude that \( f(x) = |\sin x| \) is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at points \( x = n\pi \). ### Final Answer: The function \( f(x) = |\sin x| \) is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at \( x = n\pi \) for \( n \in \mathbb{Z} \).
