The function f(x) = [x], where [a] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, is continuous at

Class 12th Mathematics, Question Paper 2023: The function f(x) = [x], where [a] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, is continuous at

These are the options for the Question: The function f(x) = [x], where [a] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, is continuous at

(a) x=1
(b) x = 1.5
(c) x=-2
(d) x=4

 

The correct answer is –

The function f(x) = [x] is continuous for all values of x except for integers, where it has jump discontinuities. At integer values, the function changes value suddenly by 1.

Therefore, the function f(x) = [x] is continuous at all values of x except for integers.

Answer: None of the options (a), (b), (c), or (d) are correct.
