Solution

The function f(x) = x | x |, x ∈ R is differentiable in R.

Explanation:

f(x) = x | x |, x ∈ R is differentiable.

= `{{:(x^2 ≥ 0,),(-x^2",", x < 0):}` if x ≠ 0, then the function is quadratic so is differentiable. The only point to consider is 0. But since both x2 and – x2 have same derivative at 0, then it follows that f is differentiable at 0.
