Question:

Let f(x)=\(\left\{\begin{matrix}  |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\,8x^2-6x+1\geq0 \\   |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\,8x^2-6x+1<0 \end{matrix}\right.\) where [α] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to α.Then the number of points in R where f is not differentiable is

Correct Answer: 3

Solution and Explanation

f(x)=\(\left\{\begin{matrix}  |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\,8x^2-6x+1\geq0 \\   |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\,8x^2-6x+1<0 \end{matrix}\right.\)

=\(\left\{\begin{matrix}  |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\,x\in [-\infty,\frac{1}{4}]\bigcup[\frac{1}{2},\infty] \\   |4x^2-8x+5|, & if\, x\in(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2})\end{matrix}\right.\)

f(x)=\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} 4x^2-8x+5 &if\,x\in [-\infty,\frac{1}{4}]\bigcup[\frac{1}{2},\infty]  & \\   3&x\in(\frac{1}{4},\frac{2-\sqrt2}{2})  & \\   2& x\in(\frac{2-\sqrt2}{2},\frac{1}{2}) & \end{matrix}\right.\)
[α] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to α
∴ Non-diff at

x=\(\frac{1}{4}\),\(\frac{2-\sqrt2}{2}\),\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Addition of Vectors

A physical quantity, represented both in magnitude and direction can be called a vector.

For the supplemental purposes of these vectors, there are two laws that are as follows;

  • Triangle law of vector addition
  • Parallelogram law of vector addition

Properties of Vector Addition:

  • Commutative in nature -

It means that if we have any two vectors a and b, then for them

\(\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}=\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{a}\)

  • Associative in nature -

It means that if we have any three vectors namely a, b and c.

\((\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})+\overrightarrow{c}=\overrightarrow{a}+(\overrightarrow{b}+\overrightarrow{c})\)

  • The Additive identity is another name for a zero vector in vector addition.
