    Let \[f:R\to R\] be defined as \[f(x)=sin(\left| x \right|)\] Which one of the following is correct?

    A) f is not differentiable only at 0

    B) f is differentiable at 9 only

    C) f is differentiable everywhere

    D) f is non-differentiable at many points

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given function is : \[f(x)=\sin \left| x \right|\] \[=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \sin (x), & x\ge 0  \\    \sin (-x), & x<0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \sin \,x, & x\ge 0  \\    -\sin \,x, & x<0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] LHD at \[x=0=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{0-h-0}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{-h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{-\sin (-h)-0}{-h}=-1\] RHD at \[x=0=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0+h)-f(x)}{0+h-0}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sin (h-0)}{h}=1\] \[LHD\ne RHD\] \[f(x)\] is not differentiable at \[x=0\].
