Let is not differentiable at t . Then the set S is equal to :
  1. (A)
  2. (B) (an empty set)✓ Correct
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (B)

Solution

The function is a product of continuous factors, so only the corners at and can threaten differentiability. Near the factors and each vanish like , so the product behaves like and the one-sided derivatives both equal . Near the factor has a simple zero that cancels the kink of , again leaving matching one-sided derivatives of . The function is differentiable at both points and everywhere else, so the set is empty.
