Question
The set points where the function f(x) given by $\text{f(x)=}|\text{x}-3|\cos\text{x}$ is  diffrentiable, is:
  1. R
  2. R - {3}
  3. $(0,\infty)$
  4. None of these.

Answer

  1. R - {3}
Solution:
(LHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3^{-}}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(3)}{\text{x}-3}$
(LHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(3-\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{3-\text{h}-3}$
(LHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(3-\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{-\text{h}}$
(LHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{|3-\text{h}-3|\cos(3-\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{-\text{h}}$
(LHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}\cos(3-\text{h})-0}{-\text{h}}=-\cos3$
(RHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3^{+}}\frac{\text{f(x)}-\text{f}(3)}{\text{x}-3}$
(RHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(3+\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{3+\text{h}-3}$
(RHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{f}(3+\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{\text{h}}$
(RHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{|3+\text{h}-3|\cos(3+\text{h})-\text{f}(3)}{\text{h}}$
(RHL at x = 3) $=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}\cos(3+\text{h})-0}{\text{h}}=\cos3$
So, f(x) is not diffrentiable at x = 3.
Also,f(x) is diffrentiable at all other points because both modulus and cosine function are differentiable and the product of two differentiable function is differentiable.
