MCQ
The function f(x) = x − [x], where [⋅] denotes the greatest integer function is:
  • A
    Continuous everywhere.
  • B
    Continuous at integer points only.
  • ✓
    Continuous at non-integer points only.
  • D
    Differentiable everywhere.
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Continuous at non-integer points only.
f(x) = x - x

Consider n be an integer.

$\text{f(x)}=\text{x}-[\text{x}]=\begin{cases}\text{x}-(\text{n}-1)&\text{n}-1\leq\text{x}<\text{n}\\0&\text{x}=\text{n}\\\text{x}-\text{n}&\text{n}\leq\text{x}<\text{n}+1\end{cases}$

Now,

LHL at x = n

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{n}^{-}}\text{f(x)}=\text{x}-\text{n}-1=\text{x}-\text{n}+1$

RHL at x = n

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow\text{n}^{+}}\text{f(x)}=\text{x}-\text{n}=\text{x}-\text{nAs},$

$\text{LHL}\neq\text{RHL}$ at x = n

i.e., given function is not continuous at n.

Now, n is any integer. Therefore, given function is not continuous at integers.

Therefore, given points are continuous at non-integer points only.
