A function f is defined on [-3,3] as

Question:

A function $f$ is defined on $[-3,3]$ as

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cr}\min \left\{|x|, 2-x^{2}\right\}, & -2 \leq x \leq 2 \\ {[|x|]} & , 2<|x| \leq 3\end{array}\right.$

where $[\mathrm{x}]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq \mathrm{x}$. The number of points, where $f$ is not differentiable in $(-3,3)$ is____.

Solution:

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\min \left\{|x|, 2-x^{2}\right\} & , & -2 \leq x \leq 2 \\ \||x|] & & 2<|x| \leq 3\end{array}\right.$

$\Rightarrow x \in[-3,-2) \cup(2,3]$

Number of points of non-differentiability in $(-3,3)=5$
