Let and be real numbers, and let The first factor is an ordinary quadratic, and the second is the modulus of a quadratic with two real roots, so at first sight looks as if it has two corners. The numbers and are chosen so that is differentiable at every real number, with no exception at all. Here and are constants that do not depend on , and the modulus is the ordinary absolute value of a real number. With these values of and , what is the value of ?
