        The set of points where the function\[f(x)=x|x|\]is differentiable is

    A)  \[(-\infty ,\infty )\]        

    B)   \[(-\infty ,0)\cup (0,\infty )\]

    C)  \[(0,\infty )\]                   

    D)  \[[0,\infty )\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    We have, \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    {{x}^{2}}, & x\ge 0  \\    -{{x}^{2}}, & x<0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]Clearly\[f(x)\]is differentiable for all\[x>0\]and for all\[x<0\]. So, we check the differentiable at \[x=0\]. Now,(RHD at\[x=0\]) \[{{\left( \frac{d}{dx}{{(x)}^{2}} \right)}_{x=0}}={{(2x)}_{x=0}}=0\] and (LHD at \[x=0\]) \[{{\left( \frac{d}{dx}(-{{x}^{2}}) \right)}_{x=0}}={{(-2x)}_{x=0}}=0\] \[\therefore \]\[(LHD\]at\[x=0\])\[=(RHD\]at\[x=0)\] So,\[f(x)\]is diffierendable for all\[x\]ie, the set of all points where\[f(x)\]is differentiable is\[(-\infty ,\infty )\].
