Answer: (B) P→3, Q→1, R→4, S→5
A function fails to be differentiable exactly at simple zeros of (where ).
The criterion is that the corner appears only where the inner function changes sign linearly. (P) has simple zeros at : points, (3).
(Q) . At the factor is differentiable (derivative ) and multiplying by the smooth factor keeps it so; elsewhere is smooth. points, (1).
(R) The kinks of at and of at cannot cancel: points, (4).
(S) in at , all simple zeros: points, (5).
The correct code is P→3, Q→1, R→4, S→5.
