29 | | - <text><![CDATA[<p>One way to construct such a function is to start with a continuous curve (the first property) with a stationary point at \(x={@n@}\) and then to "bend" the curve at the point at which we need differentiability to fail.

30 | | -<p>We start with a quadratic with roots at \(x=0\) and \(x=2\times {@n@}\) which has a stationary point at the required \(x={@n@}\). For example \(x(x-{@2*n@})\). Now we can "bend" it with the absolute value function as follows:</p> |
