For x  R, f(x) = | log 2 – sin x | and  g(x) = f(f(x)), then

g is not differentiable at x = 0

g'(0) = – cos (log 2)

g'(0) = cos (log 2)

g is differentiable at x = 0 and g'(0) = – sin (log 2)

Solution

In the neighbourhood of x = 0

f(x) = log 2 – sin x

g(x) = f(f(x)) = log 2 – sin (log 2 – sin x)

g'(x) = – cos(log 2 – sin x) ( – cos x)

⇒            g'(0) = cos (log 2)

Aliter:     g'(0+)=Limh0f(f(0+h))f(f(0))h=Limh0f(log2sinh)|log2sin(log2)|h

=Limh0|log2sin(log2sinh)||log2sin(log2)|h=

=Limh0|log2sin(log2sinh)||log2sin(log2)|h=Limh0sin(log2)sin(log2sinh)h=

=Limh02cos(2log2sinh2)sin(sinh2)h=cos(log2)

g'(0)=Limh0f(f(0h))f(f(0))h=Limh0f(log2+sinh)f(log2)h

=Limh0|log2sin(log2+sinh)||log2sin(log2)|h

=Limh0sin(log2+sinh)sin(log2)h

=Limh02cos(2log2+sinh2)sin(sinh2)h=cos(log2).
