Let $$g\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ { - x} & {x \le 1} \cr {x + 1} & {x \ge 1} \cr } } \right.$$ and
$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {1 - x,} & {x \le 0} \cr {{x^{2,}}} & {x > 0} \cr } } \right..$$
Consider the composition of $$f$$ and $$g,$$ i.e., $$\left( {f \circ g} \right)\left( x \right) = f\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right).$$ The number of discontinuities in $$\left( {f \circ g} \right)\left( x \right)$$ present in the interval $$\left( { - \infty ,0} \right)$$ is

A function $$f(x)$$ is defined as
$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{e^x},x < 1} \cr {\ln x + a{x^2} + bx,x \ge 1} \cr } \,\,,\,\,} \right.$$ where $$x \in R.$$
