  4. D. FF is twice differentiable at x=0x=0
Show answer and solution

Answer: A, C, D

(A) True: f(h)−f(0)h=hsin⁡1h→0\frac{f(h)-f(0)}{h}=h\sin\frac1h\to0, so f′(0)=0f'(0)=0. (B) False: for x≠0x\ne0, f′(x)=2xsin⁡1x−cos⁡1xf'(x)=2x\sin\frac1x-\cos\frac1x, and cos⁡1x\cos\frac1x has no limit as x→0x\to0, so f′f' is discontinuous at 00. (C) True: g′(0+)=f′(0)+1=1g'(0^+)=f'(0)+1=1 while g′(0−)=f′(0)−1=−1g'(0^-)=f'(0)-1=-1; since ∣x∣|x| has a corner and ff is differentiable, the sum has the corner. (D) True: ff is continuous, so F′(x)=f(x)F'(x)=f(x) by the fundamental theorem, and F′′(0)=f′(0)=0F''(0)=f'(0)=0 exists. (F would fail to be thrice differentiable at 0, since f′f' is discontinuous there, but that is not asked.) Hence the correct options are (A), (C) and (D).
