Question 15 • Algebra II

In the function y is equal to lfloor x rfloor minus 1 , which values of the function are equivalent?

Answer
A
f of negative 3 and f of negative 2 point 1
B
f of 2 and f of 1 point 9
C
f of negative 1 and f of negative 2
D
f of 1 and f of 0

Explanation

The floor function ⌊x⌋ gives the greatest integer less than or equal to x, and subtracting 1 preserves equality whenever two inputs have the same floor. For 2 and 1.9, both floors are 1, so both function values are 1 − 1 = 0. The other pairs fall in different floor intervals, so their function values are not equal.
