Question:

Step 1: Identify components and potential sources of discontinuity. The given function is $f(x) = |x + [x]| - 3[2x] + 4[3x]$. A function involving the greatest integer function $[kx]$ can be discontinuous wherever $kx$ becomes an integer. The term $|x+[x]|$ can be discontinuous only where $[x]$ is discontinuous (i.e., at integer values of $x$). Thus, we need to find all points in the interval $[-1, 1]$ where $x$, $2x$, or $3x$ are integers. Step 2: Identify potential points of discontinuity from the term $[x]$ in $[-1, 1]$. The function $[x]$ is discontinuous at integer values. In the interval $[-1, 1]$, these points are $x = -1, 0, 1$. Since $x=-1$ is the left endpoint of the interval, it is handled by checking continuity from the right. We consider $x=0$ and $x=1$ as interior or right endpoint points where a jump might occur for $[x]$. Step 3: Identify potential points of discontinuity from the term $[2x]$ in $[-1, 1]$. The function $[2x]$ is discontinuous when $2x$ is an integer. For $x \in [-1, 1]$, $2x \in [-2, 2]$. The integer values for $2x$ are $-2, -1, 0, 1, 2$. This corresponds to $x = \frac{-2}{2}, \frac{-1}{2}, \frac{0}{2}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{2}$, which are $x = -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1$. The new points not already identified in Step 2 for $[x]$ (excluding $x=-1$ which is an endpoint) are $x = -0.5$ and $x = 0.5$. Step 4: Identify potential points of discontinuity from the term $[3x]$ in $[-1, 1]$. The function $[3x]$ is discontinuous when $3x$ is an integer. For $x \in [-1, 1]$, $3x \in [-3, 3]$. The integer values for $3x$ are $-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3$. This corresponds to $x = \frac{-3}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}, \frac{-1}{3}, \frac{0}{3}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{3}$, which are $x = -1, -2/3, -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3, 1$. The new points not already identified in Steps 2 and 3 (excluding $x=-1$ and $x=1$) are $x = -2/3, -1/3, 1/3, 2/3$. Step 5: Consolidate all unique potential points of discontinuity in the open interval $(-1, 1)$. Combining all unique points identified in Steps 2, 3, and 4, and excluding endpoints as per the original solution's final count of "interior discontinuities": Points from $[x]$ (excluding endpoints): $x = 0$. Points from $[2x]$ (excluding endpoints and duplicates): $x = -0.5, 0.5$. Points from $[3x]$ (excluding endpoints and duplicates): $x = -2/3, -1/3, 1/3, 2/3$. The complete set of unique points of discontinuity in the open interval $(-1, 1)$ is: $$ \left\{ -\frac{2}{3}, -0.5, -\frac{1}{3}, 0, \frac{1}{3}, 0.5, \frac{2}{3} \right\} $$ Step 6: Count the total number of unique points of discontinuity. There are $7$ distinct points in the set identified in Step 5. Each of these points is a point of discontinuity for the function $f(x)$ within the interval $[-1, 1]$ (excluding consideration of $x=1$ as an endpoint discontinuity, as per the original solution's final count). The number of points where $f(x)$ is discontinuous in $[-1, 1]$ is $7$. The final answer is $\boxed{\text{7}}$.
