Let . If is the number of points, where f is not differentiable and n is the number of points, where f is not continuous, then the ordered pair ( ) is equal to
  1. (A)
  2. (B)✓ Correct
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

The function switches between the two expressions where , i.e., where .

In , at .

At and , the function equals 1 from both sides (boundary behavior).

At , the function transitions from to 1, creating a corner where the derivative does not exist.

The function is continuous everywhere (both expressions are continuous and equal at transition points).

Therefore, (non-differentiable at ) and (continuous everywhere), giving .
