@robjohn hi sir
03:15
questiin is f(x) is such that =max(x^4,x^3,1/81) i need to find sum of square of reciprocal of the value of x where fx is non differentiable
like i find the graph but it is like unbounded sir
03:41
But it is differentiable on the unbounded part.
where is the function non-differentiable?
from 0to infinity
it is the domain of x
can you show the graph of maximum of this
@robjohn
y=1/81 would be a line parallel to x-axis
there are only two-point one is 1/9 and other is 1 can you confrim this
04:14
@robjohn hi sir
 
4 hours later…
08:15
There are $3$ points. $-\frac13,1,\frac1{81^{1/3}}$
no sir only two
@robjohn
which of the three are wrong?
two are wrong
-1/3 and the last one
@robjohn
I have plotted the function to be sure, and those points are non-differentiable
There are angles (non-smooth points) in the plot
can you upload the pic sir
?
@robjohn
08:31
Those definitely look non-differentiable to me
indeed sir i made a wild guess like my friend
sir i have few more questions
like i was given f(x)=(x-4)^4(x-2)^3(x-1)^2
is there any easy way to find fx instead of multiplying
How is multiplication hard?
not hard i know i can expand it
but is there any other way?
what do you want out of it?
I can't figure out anything without knowing what information you want
Do you want a polynomial written as $a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots$? what is it you want?
As it stands $(x-4)^4(x-2)^3(x-1)^2$ is simple
leave that sir
sir if fx is differentiable what we can predict about f^2x
assume the example of modulus of x
@robjohn
08:46
the chain rule says that $(f^2)'=2ff'$ so $f^2$ is differentiable
what about fx into modulus of fx
by modulus, do you mean the absolute value? the modulus usually refers to the number theory mod function
$|x|$?
yes
17 secs ago, by robjohn
$|x|$?
Use the chain rule. $|f|$ is differentiable anywhere $f$ is differentiable and where $f(x)$ has a value where $|x|$ is differentiable.
So if $f$ is differentiable, we need to look at where $|x|$ is differentiable
where is $|x|$ differentiable?
everywhere except zero
@robjohn
08:55
So, where does the chain rule say that $|f(x)|$ is differentiable (or not)?
i draw the graph
the chain rule...
this is a composition of functions, so the chain rule is indicated.
my friend say where we see the function is approaching a sharp peak like a triangle function is non differentiable at that peak\
where are the points where $|f(x)|$ is not differentiable?
How can one find them?

Use the chain rule. $|f|$ is differentiable anywhere $f$ is differentiable and where $f(x)$ has a value where $|x|$ is differentiable.
you said
09:03
and knowing what you know about $|x|$, where might $|f(x)|$ not be differentiable?
it is differentiable everyhwere
?
suppose $f(x)=\sin(x)$ is $|f(x)|$ differentiable everywhere?
except zero to above one
yes
20 secs ago, by robjohn
suppose $f(x)=\sin(x)$ is $|f(x)|$ differentiable everywhere?
really?
oh wait sorry it is modulus so it is not differentiable at pi,2p,3pi
09:09
yes sir
So where is $|f(x)|$ not differentiable?
@robjohn
0 pi 2pi 3pi
@robjohn
In general, where is $|f(x)|$ possibly not differentiable?
Where might $\left|\sin(x)-\frac13\right|$ be non-differentiable?
what can you say about the $x$ where $|f(x)|$ is not differentiable?
ah, I'm speaking to myself.
09:34
sorry sir there was a power cut
@robjohn extremely sorry sir
if you feel in that way
10:00
so back to where we were
39 mins ago, by robjohn
In general, where is $|f(x)|$ possibly not differentiable?
@JackRod I just didn't think I'd get any answer questioning an empty room.
11:05
so to finish this up, I'll answer my question: the points where $|f(x)|$ might not be differentiable are where $f(x)=0$.
11:23
But sir that is not a common case taking them example of -modulus of x we get one more additional point which is origin where f is not differentiable
Sorry sir I see that when I just leaved the rook for the work you have entered three is gap of 30minutes between me you
I admit that this time I myself left the room because I was solving the paper
I have no intention to disrespect after all you are helping me more than you can a request if you read my message just give me text like hi so that I can confirm that you are there and I won't live the room untill you reply
11:47
