The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) \) defined piecewise and determine where it is continuous but not differentiable. The function is given as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} 1 + \left\lfloor \cos\left(\pi x / 2\right) \right\rfloor & \text{for } 1 < x \leq 2 \\ 1 - \{x\} & \text{for } 0 \leq x < 1 \\ |\sin(\pi x)| & \text{for } -1 < x < 0 \end{cases} \] where \( \lfloor \cdot \rfloor \) denotes the greatest integer function and \( \{ \cdot \} \) denotes the fractional part function. ### Step 1: Analyze each piece of the function 1. **For \( 1 < x \leq 2 \)**: - The expression \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi x}{2}\right) \) varies from \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \) to \( \cos(\pi) = -1 \). - Thus, \( \lfloor \cos\left(\frac{\pi x}{2}\right) \rfloor \) will be \( -1 \) for \( 1 < x < 2 \) and \( 0 \) at \( x = 2 \). - Therefore, \( f(x) = 1 - 1 = 0 \) for \( 1 < x < 2 \) and \( f(2) = 1 + 0 = 1 \). 2. **For \( 0 \leq x < 1 \)**: - The fractional part \( \{x\} = x \) since \( x \) is non-negative and less than 1. - Thus, \( f(x) = 1 - x \). 3. **For \( -1 < x < 0 \)**: - The function \( |\sin(\pi x)| \) is continuous and differentiable in this interval. ### Step 2: Check continuity at the boundaries - **At \( x = 0 \)**: - From the left, \( f(0^-) = |\sin(0)| = 0 \). - From the right, \( f(0^+) = 1 - 0 = 1 \). - Thus, \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 0 \). - **At \( x = 1 \)**: - From the left, \( f(1^-) = 1 - 1 = 0 \). - From the right, \( f(1^+) = 0 \). - Thus, \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \). - **At \( x = 2 \)**: - From the left, \( f(2^-) = 0 \). - From the right, \( f(2) = 1 \). - Thus, \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 2 \). ### Step 3: Check differentiability at \( x = 1 \) To check if \( f(x) \) is differentiable at \( x = 1 \): - The left-hand derivative at \( x = 1 \) is: \[ \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{f(1+h) - f(1)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{(1 - (1+h)) - 0}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{-h}{h} = -1 \] - The right-hand derivative at \( x = 1 \) is: \[ \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{f(1+h) - f(1)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{0 - 0}{h} = 0 \] Since the left-hand and right-hand derivatives are not equal, \( f(x) \) is not differentiable at \( x = 1 \). ### Conclusion The function \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \) but not differentiable there. Therefore, the number of points where \( f(x) \) is continuous but non-differentiable is: \[ \text{Number of points} = 1 \]
