The correct Answer is:
To determine the set of all points where the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{1 - e^{-x^2}} \) is differentiable, we need to analyze the function and its derivative. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: The function is given as: \[ f(x) = \sqrt{1 - e^{-x^2}} \] 2. **Determine the domain of the function**: The expression inside the square root, \( 1 - e^{-x^2} \), must be non-negative for \( f(x) \) to be defined. Since \( e^{-x^2} \) is always positive for all real \( x \), \( 1 - e^{-x^2} \) is non-negative for all \( x \). Therefore, the function is defined for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). 3. **Find the derivative**: To find where the function is differentiable, we need to compute the derivative \( f'(x) \). We can use the chain rule: \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - e^{-x^2}\right)^{1/2} \] Using the chain rule, we have: \[ f'(x) = \frac{1}{2} (1 - e^{-x^2})^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1 - e^{-x^2}) \] Now, we differentiate \( 1 - e^{-x^2} \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(1 - e^{-x^2}) = 0 + e^{-x^2} \cdot (2x) = 2x e^{-x^2} \] Thus, substituting back, we get: \[ f'(x) = \frac{1}{2} (1 - e^{-x^2})^{-1/2} \cdot (2x e^{-x^2}) = x e^{-x^2} (1 - e^{-x^2})^{-1/2} \] 4. **Determine where the derivative is undefined**: The derivative \( f'(x) \) will be undefined if the denominator \( (1 - e^{-x^2})^{-1/2} \) is undefined, which occurs when \( 1 - e^{-x^2} = 0 \). This happens when: \[ e^{-x^2} = 1 \implies -x^2 = 0 \implies x = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the function \( f(x) \) is differentiable everywhere except at \( x = 0 \). The set of all points where the function is differentiable is: \[ x \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\} \quad \text{or} \quad (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty) \] ### Final Answer: The set of all points where the function \( f(x) \) is differentiable is: \[ (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty) \]
