Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

A function f(x)=∣g(x)∣f(x) = |g(x)| is not differentiable where g(x)=0g(x) = 0, because the absolute value creates a sharp corner at that point.


f(x)=∣x∣+1f(x) = |x| + 1

The expression inside the absolute value is xx.

x=0x = 0

Not differentiable at x=0x = 0 only → (IV)


f(x)=∣x−3∣f(x) = |x - 3|

The expression inside the absolute value is x−3x - 3.

x−3=0x - 3 = 0

x=3x = 3

Not differentiable at x=3x = 3 only → (I)


f(x)=∣x+3∣f(x) = |x + 3|

The expression inside the absolute value is x+3x + 3.

x+3=0x + 3 = 0

x=−3x = -3

Not differentiable at x=−3x = -3 only → (II)


f(x)=∣x2−9∣f(x) = |x^2 - 9|

The expression inside the absolute value is x2−9x^2 - 9.

x2−9=(x−3)(x+3)=0x^2 - 9 = (x - 3)(x + 3) = 0

x=3x = 3 or x=−3x = -3

Not differentiable at x=3,−3x = 3, -3 only → (III)


(A) → (IV)

(B) → (I)

(C) → (II)

(D) → (III)

Therefore, the correct answer is (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III).
