The correct answer is: 1

We have,

gx=max t3-6t2+9t-30tx,0x34-x,3<x4

Let

fx=x3-6x2+9x-3

f'(x)=3x2-12x+9

f'(x)=3(x-1)(x-3)

For critical points:

f'x=0

x=1, 3

And,

f"x=6x-12

Then,

f"1=6-12=-6<0(maxima)

f"3=6>0(minima)

Hence,

gx=f(x),0x11,1x34-x,3<x4

Hence, gx is continuous function.

g'x=3(x-1)(x-3),0<x<10,1<x<3-1,3<x<4

Clearly, g(x) is non-differentiable at x=3.
