  1. A \(\{-1 , 0 , 1\}\)
  2. B \(\{-1\}\)
  3. C \(\{0 , 1\}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\{-1 , 0 , 1\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given function is \(y = ||x| - 1|\). A function of the form \(|f(x)|\) is generally non-differentiable at points where \(f(x) = 0\) (if the curve crosses the x-axis) and at points where \(f(x)\) itself is non-differentiable. First, the inner function \(f(x) = |x| - 1\)…
