Vedclass · Answer

(B) The given function is $f(x) = |\cos x|$.We know that the function $g(x) = \cos x$ is continuous and differentiable for all $x \in R$.The modulus function $h(x) = |x|$ is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $x = 0$.Therefore,the composite function $f(x) = |\cos x|$ is continuous for all $x \in R$.However,$f(x)$ will not be differentiable where the expression inside the modulus is zero,i.e.,at $\cos x = 0$.This occurs at $x = (2n + 1) \frac{\pi}{2}$ for all $n \in Z$.At these points,the graph of $f(x)$ has sharp corners (cusps),as shown in the graph.Thus,$f(x)$ is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at odd multiples of $\frac{\pi}{2}$.

Assertion $(A)$: If $y = f(x) = (|x| - |x - 1|)^2$,then $\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)_{x=1} = 1$.
Reason $(R)$: If $\lim_{x \rightarrow a} \frac{f(x) - f(a)}{x - a}$ exists,then it is called the derivative of $f(x)$ at $x = a$.
