Given function is

f(x) = |x| + |x - 1|

Function is also written as

Obviously, in given function we need to discuss the continuity and differentiability of the function f(x) at x = 0 or 1 only.

For continuity at x = 0

(i),(ii) and (iii)

\(\lim\limits_{x \to0^+}f(x) =\)\(\lim\limits_{x \to0^-}f(x) \) = f(0)

Hence, f(x) is continuous at x = 0.

For differentiability at x = 0

(iv) and (v) ⇒ RHD ≠ LHD at x = 0.

Hence, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0 but continuous at x = 0.

Similarly, we can prove f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1 but continuous at x = 1 (Do yourself)
