The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of points where the function \( f(x) \) is not differentiable in the interval \((-3, 3)\), we will analyze the function given: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \min(|x|, 2 - x^2) & \text{for } -2 \leq x \leq 2 \\ \lfloor |x| \rfloor & \text{for } 2 < |x| \leq 3 \end{cases} \] ### Step 1: Analyze the first case \((-2 \leq x \leq 2)\) In this interval, we have \( f(x) = \min(|x|, 2 - x^2) \). 1. **Find the points of intersection**: - Set \( |x| = 2 - x^2 \). - For \( x \geq 0 \): \( x = 2 - x^2 \) leads to \( x^2 + x - 2 = 0 \). - The roots are \( x = 1 \) and \( x = -2 \). - For \( x < 0 \): \( -x = 2 - x^2 \) leads to \( x^2 - x - 2 = 0 \). - The roots are \( x = 2 \) and \( x = -1 \). 2. **Identify critical points**: - The critical points from the intersection are \( x = -2, -1, 1, 2 \). ### Step 2: Check differentiability at critical points - At \( x = -2 \): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 0 \) to \( 0 \) (not differentiable). - At \( x = -1 \): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 1 \) to \( 0 \) (not differentiable). - At \( x = 1 \): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 0 \) to \( 1 \) (not differentiable). - At \( x = 2 \): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 0 \) to \( 2 \) (not differentiable). ### Step 3: Analyze the second case \((2 < |x| \leq 3)\) In this interval, \( f(x) = \lfloor |x| \rfloor \). - The values of \( |x| \) in this interval are: - For \( 2 < x \leq 3 \): \( f(x) = 2 \) (constant). - For \( -3 \leq x < -2 \): \( f(x) = 2 \) (constant). ### Step 4: Check differentiability at the boundaries - At \( x = -2 \) (boundary between cases): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 0 \) to \( 2 \) (not differentiable). - At \( x = 2 \) (boundary between cases): - \( f(x) \) changes from \( 0 \) to \( 2 \) (not differentiable). ### Step 5: Summary of non-differentiable points The points where \( f(x) \) is not differentiable in the interval \((-3, 3)\) are: 1. \( x = -2 \) 2. \( x = -1 \) 3. \( x = 1 \) 4. \( x = 2 \) Thus, there are a total of **4 points** where \( f(x) \) is not differentiable. ### Final Answer The number of points where \( f \) is not differentiable in \((-3, 3)\) is **4**. ---
