Away from zero, the product and composition of the displayed smooth functions are continuous and differentiable. At zero,so remains continuous. Hence the continuity set is .
The difference quotient at zero is . For it equals one, and for it equals minus one. Both sequences tend to zero, so no derivative exists there. For , the product rule and chain rule giveThus the differentiability set is .
