Correct answer
B. f is differentiable for all x , except at = n π , n = ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 3 ,
Step-by-step solution
We have, f x = x | sin x | , x ∈ R f x = x sin x , x ∈ 2 n π , 2 n + 1 π - x sin x , x ∈ 2 n + 1 π , 2 n π f ' n π = lim x → n π f x - f n π x - n π = lim x → n π x | sin x | x - n π Clearly, f x is differentiable for all x except x = n π , n = ± 1 ± 2 , ± 3 , …
