If [t] denotes the greatest integer ≤ t, then the number of points, at which the function
\(f(x) = 4|2x + 3| + 9\lfloor x + \frac{1}{2} \rfloor - 12\lfloor x + 20 \rfloor\)
is not differentiable in the open interval (–20, 20), is ____ .
To determine the number of points where the function \(f(x) = 4|2x + 3| + 9\lfloor x + \frac{1}{2} \rfloor - 12\lfloor x + 20 \rfloor\) is not differentiable in the interval (–20, 20), we need to analyze where each component causes non-differentiability.
1. **Absolute Value Function**: The term \(|2x + 3|\) is not differentiable when its argument is zero. Solving \( 2x + 3 = 0 \) gives \( x = -\frac{3}{2} \).
2. **Floor Functions**: The terms \( \lfloor x + \frac{1}{2} \rfloor \) and \( \lfloor x + 20 \rfloor \) are not differentiable at integer values of their arguments.
For \( \lfloor x + \frac{1}{2} \rfloor \): Non-differentiability occurs at \( x + \frac{1}{2} = n \), where \( n \) is an integer. Thus, \( x = n - \frac{1}{2} \). In the range \( -20 < x < 20 \), \( n \) ranges from \(-19\) to \(19\), giving points \( -\frac{39}{2}, -\frac{37}{2}, \ldots, \frac{37}{2}, \frac{39}{2}\).
For \( \lfloor x + 20 \rfloor \): Non-differentiability occurs at \( x + 20 = m \), \( m \) integer. So \( x = m - 20 \). In the interval for \( x \), \( m \) ranges from \(1\) to \(39\), giving points \(-19, -18, \ldots, 18, 19\).
3. **Combining Points**: Align distinct points of non-differentiability: \( \{-19, -\frac{39}{2}, -\frac{37}{2}, \dots, -\frac{3}{2}, \dots, \frac{37}{2}, \frac{39}{2}, 19\} \). The combinations correspond to distinct values of \( x\).
4. **Count**: Count unique points, totaling 79 non-differentiable points within the specified range.
The number of points in the interval (–20, 20) where \( f(x) \) is not differentiable is \( \boxed{79} \), verified by checking the distinct values of such \( x\).
\(f(x) = 4|2x + 3| + 9\left\lfloor x + \frac{1}{2} \right\rfloor - 12\left\lfloor x + 20 \right\rfloor\)
\(=4|2x+3|+9[x+\frac{1}{2}]−12[x]−240\)
f(x) is non differentiable at x \(= \frac{-3}{2}\)
and f(x) is discontinuous at {–19, –18, ….., 18, 19} as well as
\(\left\{ -\frac{39}{2}, -\frac{37}{2}, \ldots, -\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, \ldots, \frac{39}{2} \right\}\)
At same point, they are also non differentiable
∴ Total number of points of non differentiability
= 39 + 40
= 79
So, the correct answer is 79.

A black body is at a temperature of 2880 K. The energy of radiation emitted by this body with wavelength between 499 nm and 500 nm is U1, between 999 nm and 1000 nm is U2 and between 1499 nm and 1500 nm is U3. The Wien's constant, b = 2.88×106 nm-K. Then,
A function is said to be one to one function when f: A → B is One to One if for each element of A there is a distinct element of B.
A function which maps two or more elements of A to the same element of set B is said to be many to one function. Two or more elements of A have the same image in B.
If there exists a function for which every element of set B there is (are) pre-image(s) in set A, it is Onto Function.
