Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
Sol. We have,
f(x) = 
Clearly, it is continuous and differentiable for all x except at x = 0 and x = 1. So, we check the differentiability at x = 0 and 1.
Now,
(LHD at x = 0)
=

=

=

=

=

=
h sin
+ 2 sin
+ 1 +
= 0 × sin 1 + 2 sin 1 + 1 +

= 2 sin 1 + 1 + 2

= 2 sin 1 + 1 –2

= 2 sin 1 + 1 – 2 
= 2 sin 1 + 1 –cos 1
(RHD at x = 0)
=

=

=

=
h sin
–2 sin
–1 +

= 2 sin 1 –1 +

= 2 sin 1 –1 +
2

= 2 sin 1 –1 – cos 1
Clearly, (LHD at x = 0) ≠ (RHD at x =0)
So, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0.
Now,
(LHD at x = 1)
=

=

=

=

=
h sin
–1 = –1
and,
(RHD at x = 1)
=

=

=

=

=
h sin
–1 = –1
∴ (LHD at x = 1) = (RHD at x = 1)
So, f(x) is differentiable at x =1
Hence, f(x) is differentiable for all x, except at x = 0
