Is the statement true for all real numbers? Explain.

Question illustration
Answer:

The statement is not true for all real numbers. It is only true for non-integer (decimal or fractional) values of x. If x is an integer, the ceiling function ⌈x⌉ equals x, but the floor function ⌊x + 1⌋ equals x + 1. Since x does not equal x + 1 for any integer, the equation does not hold when x is an integer.

Does your answer include the following?

A
The statement is not true for all real numbers. It is only true for decimal or fractional values of x .
B
If x is an integer, then the ceiling function returns x when the input is x . But, the flooring function returns x + 1 when the input is x + 1.
C
Since x does not equal x + 1 when x is an integer, the expressions are not equal when x is an integer.

Describe the graph of on [0, 3). Be specific in your description.

Question illustration
Answer:

On the interval [0, 3), the graph of y 4⌊x 2⌋ consists of three horizontal steps. For 0 ≤ x < 1, the step is at y 8. For 1 ≤ x < 2, the step is at y 12. For 2 ≤ x < 3, the step is at y 16. Each step has a closed circle at the left endpoint and an open circle at the right endpoint.
