Q.

Let f(x)={ex–1,x<0x2–5x+6,x≥0 and g(x) = f(|x|) + |f(x)|. If the number of points where g is not continuous and is not differentiable are α and β respectively, then α+β is equal to ________.          [2026]


Ans.

(4)

f(x)={ex–1,x<0x2–5x+6,x≥0; g(x) = f(|x|) + |f(x)|

Graph of f(x)

(f(x)) is continuous function and it is not differentiable at x = 0

Graph of |f(x)|

|f(x)| is discontinuous at x = 0

⇒ |f(x)| is non-differentiable at x = 0, 2, 3

g(x) = f|x| + |f(x)|

g(x) will be discontinuous at x = 0.

So, α=1

g(x) will be non-differentiable at x = 0, 2, 3.

So, β=3

Hence, α+β=4
