The greatest integer function of a real number x is represented by f(x) = or |_x_|. For all real numbers x, the greatest integer function returns the largest integer less than or equal to x Domain and Range: f(x) = is defined for all x, so the domain is (-infinity, infinity). Now, since f(x)...

The greatest integer function of a real number x is represented by f(x) = [x] or |_x_|. For all real numbers x, the greatest integer function returns the largest integer less than or equal to x Domain and Range: f(x) = [x] is defined for all x, so the domain is (-infinity, infinity). Now, since f(x) = [x] gives the largest integer equal to or less than x, [x] outputs only integers by definition. Thus, the range of f(x) = [x] is all integers. read less

The greatest integer function also known as floor function is defined as follows:- f(x)= ?x? returns the largest integer less than or equal to x. in set notation it is defined as =max {m epsilon Z | m<=x}. Z is set of all integers. The domain for f(x) is R. x can take any real value. And the...

Format is not getting accepted on this website ....for the floor function symbol...it looks something like Lx_|....essentially square brackets with upper edges removed.

Note that f(x) = is defined for all x, so the domain is (-infinity, infinity). Now, since f(x) = gives the largest integer equal to or less than x, outputs only integers by definition. Thus, the range of f(x) = is all integers.

An Engineer from IIEST, Shibpur wants to teach Maths.

The greatest integer function (Ceiling Function) returns the largest integer less than or equal to x, for all real numbers x. The greatest integer function rounds down a real number to the nearest integer. e.g. = 2; = 1; = -4; = -7.
