    The derivative of \[f(x)=x|x|\] is               [SCRA 1996]

    A)            \[2x\]

    B)            ? 2x

    C)            \[2{{x}^{2}}\]

    D)            \[2|x|\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & -{{x}^{2}},\ x<0 \\  & {{x}^{2}}\ \ ,\ \,\,x>0 \\ \end{align} \right.\Rightarrow f'(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & -2x\,,\,\,x<0 \\  & 2x\,\,\,,\,\,\,\,x>0 \\ \end{align} \right.\,\,\,\]                    \[\therefore f'(x)=2|x|\].
