Question

Let $f : (- 2, 2) \to R$ be defined by $f (x) =$ ${\begin{matrix} x [x], & - 2 < x < 0 \\ (x - 1) [x], & 0 \leq x < 2 \end{matrix}$ where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer function. If $m$ and $n$ respectively are the number of points in (- 2, 2) at which $y =$ $| f (x) |$ is not continuous and not differentiable, then $m + n$ is equal to _____. [2023]

(4)

$f (x) or$ $| f (x) |$ $=$ ${\begin{matrix} - 2 x, & - 2 < x < - 1 \\ - x, & - 1 \leq x < 0 \\ 0, & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ x - 1, & 1 \leq x < 2 \end{matrix}$

$Point of discontinuity: m = - 1 i.e., one in number$ $Point of non-differentiability: n = - 1, 0, 1 i.e., 3 in number.$

$∴$ $m + n = 1 + 3 = 4$

Solution

Q. Let f:(-2,2)→R be defined by f(x)={x[x],-2<x<0(x-1)[x],0≤x<2 where [x] denotes the greatest integer function. If m and n respectively are the number of points in (- 2, 2) at which y=|f(x)| is not continuous and not differentiable, then m+n is equal to _____. [2023]

Ans. (4) f(x) or |f(x)|={-2x,-2<x<-1-x,-1≤x<00,0≤x≤1x-1,1≤x<2 Point of discontinuity: m=-1 i.e., one in number Point of non-differentiability: n=-1,0,1 i.e., 3 in number. ∴ m+n=1+3=4
