The doubtful points are \mathrm{x=\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{\pi}{2}. }

\mathrm{|x-1|}  is differentiable at \mathrm{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}}  but not differentiable at 1

\mathrm{\left|x-\frac{1}{2}\right|} is differentiable at \mathrm{1, \frac{\pi}{2}}  but not differentiable at \mathrm{\frac{1}{2}}.

Remember \mathrm{|x-a|}  is continuous everywhere, and differentiable everywhere except at \mathrm{x=a}.

\mathrm{\tan x} is differentiable at \mathrm{\frac{1}{2}, 1}  but not differentiable at

\mathrm{\therefore f(x)} is not differentiable at \mathrm{\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{\pi}{2}}.
