The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) \) given the condition \( |f(x)| \leq x^{4n} \) for \( n \in \mathbb{N} \) and \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: We have the inequality \( |f(x)| \leq x^{4n} \). This means that the function \( f(x) \) is bounded by \( x^{4n} \) and \( -x^{4n} \). Therefore, we can write: \[ -x^{4n} \leq f(x) \leq x^{4n} \] 2. **Behavior as \( x \to 0 \)**: As \( x \) approaches 0, both \( -x^{4n} \) and \( x^{4n} \) approach 0. Thus, by the squeeze theorem, we can conclude: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0 \] This indicates that \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \). 3. **Behavior as \( x \to \infty \)**: As \( x \) approaches infinity, both \( -x^{4n} \) and \( x^{4n} \) approach infinity. Therefore, \( f(x) \) can take on values that grow without bound as \( x \) increases. 4. **Differentiability**: To determine if \( f(x) \) is differentiable, we need to check if there are any sharp points or discontinuities in the function. Since \( f(x) \) is bounded by \( -x^{4n} \) and \( x^{4n} \), and since it approaches 0 at \( x = 0 \), we can infer that \( f(x) \) is smooth around this point. 5. **Conclusion**: Given that \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \) and does not have any sharp edges or discontinuities, we can conclude that \( f(x) \) is differentiable everywhere in \( \mathbb{R} \). ### Final Answer: Thus, the function \( f(x) \) is differentiable everywhere in \( \mathbb{R} \).
