Let the functions and be defined by

where denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to . Let be the composite function defined by . Suppose is the number of points in the interval at which is NOT continuous, and suppose is the number of points in the interval at which is NOT differentiable. Then the value of is ____

Answer: 4

Solution

We have (fractional part). Then . For , when and when . Analyzing the composite function:

The function is discontinuous at (where jumps), so . It is non-differentiable at (corners in the absolute value function), so . Therefore, .
