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 noninteger (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.
