Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2021

The function

$$f(x) = \left| {{x^2} - 2x - 3} \right|\,.\,{e^{\left| {9{x^2} - 12x + 4} \right|}}$$ is not differentiable at exactly :

  1. A four points
  2. B three points
  3. C two points Correct answer
  4. D one point

Solution

$f(x) = \left| {(x - 3)(x + 1)} \right|\,.\,{e^{{{(3x - 2)}^2}}}$<br><br>$$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {(x - 3)(x + 1).\,{e^{{{(3x - 2)}^2}}}} &amp; ; &amp; {x \in (3,\infty )} \cr { - (x - 3)(x + 1).\,{e^{{{(3x - 2)}^2}}}} &amp; ; &amp; {x \in [ - 1,3]} \cr {(x - 3)\,.\,(x + 1).\,{e^{{{(3x - 2)}^2}}}} &amp; ; &amp; {x \in ( - \infty , - 1)} \cr } } \right.$$<br><br>Clearly, non-differentiable at x = $-$1 &amp; x = 3.
