Question

An example of a function which is continuous everywhere but fails to be differentiable exactly at two points is ______.

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

An example of a function which is continuous everywhere but fails to be differentiable exactly at two points is |x| + |x – 1|.

Explanation:

|x| + |x – 1| is the function which is continuous everywhere but fails to be differentiable at x = 0 and x = 1.

We can have more such examples.
