Question 111 of 143

Q.Which of the function is not differentiable?

(a) f(x)=sin⁡x+cos⁡xf(x) = \sin x + \cos x in (−∞,∞)(-\infty, \infty)
(b) f(x)=sin⁡xf(x) = \sin x in (−∞,∞)(-\infty, \infty)
(c) f(x)=cot⁡xf(x) = \cot x in (−π2,π2)\left(\dfrac{-\pi}{2}, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)
(d) f(x)=cos⁡xf(x) = \cos x in [−π,π][-\pi, \pi]

cot⁡x\cot x is undefined (division by sin⁡x=0\sin x = 0) at x=0x=0, which lies inside the stated interval, so option (c) fails to be differentiable — indeed not even defined — at that point.

  1. sin⁡x+cos⁡x\sin x+\cos x is a sum of standard differentiable functions, differentiable on all of (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty).
  2. sin⁡x\sin x is differentiable everywhere on (−∞,∞)(-\infty,\infty). …
