Some Conceptual questions on functions
1. Solve the equations, and where [.] denotes greatest integer function. Sol: we know that [ f(x) ] = I (Integer) and [x + I] = [x] + I [sin x + [sin x]] = Integer and [sin x] = Integer Therefore, y = 1/3 [ sin x + [sin x + [sin x]]] = 1/3 [sin x] + 1/3 [sin x + [sin x]] = 1/3 [sin x] + 1/3[sin x] + 1/3[sin x] y = [sin x] .................(i) And, [y + [y]] = 2cos x [y] + [y] = 2cosx [y] = cos x or, [[sin x]] = cos x ( since from (i) y = [sin x]) or, [sin x] = cos x You can compare the graph of [sin x] and cos x i.e. the below graph, it is clear that in a period of 2pi, [sin x] is never equal to cos x Therefore, [sin x] = cos x has no solution. Therefore, given eqautions have no solution. 2. If [x] = [x/2] +[(x + 1)/2] , where [.] denotes the greatest integer function and n be a positive integer then show, [(n +...
