The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given functions is non-differentiable, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first function The first function is given as: \[ f(x) = e^x - 1 + |e^{2x} - 1| \] 1. **Break down the absolute value**: \[ |e^{2x} - 1| = \begin{cases} e^{2x} - 1 & \text{if } e^{2x} \geq 1 \\ -(e^{2x} - 1) & \text{if } e^{2x} < 1 \end{cases} \] Since \( e^{2x} \) is always positive, it will never be less than 1 for any real \( x \). Thus, we can simplify: \[ |e^{2x} - 1| = e^{2x} - 1 \] 2. **Combine the terms**: \[ f(x) = e^x - 1 + (e^{2x} - 1) = e^x + e^{2x} - 2 \] 3. **Check differentiability**: The function \( e^x \) and \( e^{2x} \) are both differentiable everywhere. Therefore, \( f(x) \) is differentiable. ### Step 2: Analyze the second function The second function is: \[ f(x) = \frac{1}{x - 1} \] 1. **Check for points of non-differentiability**: The function is a rational function and is differentiable everywhere except where the denominator is zero. The denominator \( x - 1 = 0 \) at \( x = 1 \). 2. **Conclusion**: The function is non-differentiable at \( x = 1 \). ### Step 3: Analyze the third function The third function is: \[ f(x) = |x - 3| - |x - 3| - 1 \text{ for } x < 3 \] \[ f(x) = \frac{x}{3} \text{ for } x \geq 3 \] 1. **Break down the absolute values**: For \( x < 3 \): \[ f(x) = 3 - x - 1 = 2 - x \] For \( x \geq 3 \): \[ f(x) = \frac{x}{3} \] 2. **Check differentiability at \( x = 3 \)**: - Left-hand derivative at \( x = 3 \): \[ f'(x) = -1 \] - Right-hand derivative at \( x = 3 \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{1}{3} \] Since the left-hand and right-hand derivatives at \( x = 3 \) are not equal, the function is non-differentiable at \( x = 3 \). ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth function The fourth function is: \[ f(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor - 2 \text{ for } x < 2 \] \[ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x \text{ for } x \geq 2 \] 1. **Check for points of non-differentiability**: The floor function \( \lfloor x \rfloor \) is not differentiable at integer points. At \( x = 2 \), the function changes from a step function to a linear function. 2. **Conclusion**: The function is non-differentiable at \( x = 2 \). ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all the functions, we find that: - The first function is differentiable. - The second function is non-differentiable at \( x = 1 \). - The third function is non-differentiable at \( x = 3 \). - The fourth function is non-differentiable at \( x = 2 \). **Thus, the functions that are non-differentiable are the second, third, and fourth functions.**
