Consider,
![f(x) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {[x] - x} }}](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uTTgr8Au-Qk2_6TpihF8cvtJoYwJeEdudiPKuel7FuDsShPUFgVEu41UYgffgOfKvRS8CpmwsCi1a-R7dDFzjtGFWoBqhkf-8FjcmF6_SI0pumpim3yPNWtmpq3d5U3HksZ-O3rLvsTPKwAMM5PTk6sebk5pZSuN6oQ77jAaG9yU27e9i7aqO5a1C4XnX6WceDpFMkaGlRDSATzrVNw-Rfgc6j_G-P-nHRX3_IS4dzA2jLMvcW=s0-d)
for finite and real value,

should not be negative,
therefore,
( denominator cant be equal to zero, so it is strictly greater than zero)

but we know that ,

=> for no value of x, f(x) will be real and finite.
so domain of f(x) = { } =
we can also see this from graph,
Here, we can see that for a point on x - axis or for a value of x , graph of y = x is above the graph of y = [x] and both the graph touch only on integer points.
You can check this by taking a point on x- axis and draw a vertical line through this in upward direction, you can see that the line first cut the graph of y = [x] and then cut the graph of y = x ,
this shows for any value of x ,![x \ge [x]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_v9LpLj7ehaXC8qG08LyZT0rQ3AOEu58ieNqAMQLp2EXAPl66w0CJ2rJGtpfJj73Fyvz1DwAmW7V4bson3AEHpQEy1tGUHEF-GUlyJAt9JNzN7HBObh5uB5OawF7nsxBmMcdcKSkNzqVE_di9qngEU_hp25hSk0q5IXkfNEnym_CXi_ShsZgg=s0-d)

Since,

Therefore, domain of the f(x) would not have the values of x for which![{[|x - 2|] + [|x - 10|] - 8 = 0}](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t48MgVFTeYwIsQ7dJv420MjbbzrjYYYll83uJuCC80Vram1p0Q4jX1SpaCX_yBgctXehiEQ6i_rs46cILh85hk589-VbABOT6tgvXxstvKJoXNdo5dRFPB_hALXxYXGPsUVnyYob-bqtPlKpqAPzIpYEkDE4-p327OpfJQO5VXfj1KLp0H5xDP2UHDs3qvj_Ar6ptsPCwzlVYo2m8feycdQw7-JzgnE772RZ21rIuy=s0-d)
