f(−x)=f(x) ⇒ we only need to see x≥0:  f(x)=∣sin x∣+sin x  ∣sin x∣=sin x for 2nπ≤x≤(2n+1)π with n≥0  ∣sin x∣=−sin x for (2n+1)π≤x≤(2n+2)π    ⇒f(x)=2sin x for 2nπ≤x≤(2n+1)π  ⇒f(x)=0 for (2n+1)π≤x≤(2n+2)π  ⇒f(x) is not differentiable at x=2nπ and (2n+1)π,  so generally  ⇒m=kπ with k=any integer
$${f}\left(−{x}\right)={f}\left({x}\right)\:\Rightarrow\:{we}\:{only}\:{need}\:{to}\:{see}\:{x}\geqslant\mathrm{0}: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\mid\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\mid+\mathrm{sin}\:{x} \\ $$$$\mid\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\mid=\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:{for}\:\mathrm{2}{n}\pi\leqslant{x}\leqslant\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi\:{with}\:{n}\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mid\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\mid=−\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\:{for}\:\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi\leqslant{x}\leqslant\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\pi \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{2sin}\:{x}\:{for}\:\mathrm{2}{n}\pi\leqslant{x}\leqslant\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:{for}\:\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi\leqslant{x}\leqslant\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\pi \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)\:{is}\:{not}\:{differentiable}\:{at}\:{x}=\mathrm{2}{n}\pi\:{and}\:\left(\mathrm{2}{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi, \\ $$$${so}\:{generally} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{m}={k}\pi\:{with}\:{k}={any}\:{integer} \\ $$

Absolutely true, Sir. I had drawn  the graph.
$${Absolutely}\:{true},\:{Sir}.\:{I}\:{had}\:{drawn} \\ $$$${the}\:{graph}. \\ $$
