Discuss the continuity of f(x) = [x].

Let n be any integer


[x] = Greatest integer less than or equal to x.


Some values of [x] for specific values of x


[3] = 3


[4.4] = 4


[-1.6] = -2


Therefore,


Left hand limit at x = n


= = n – 1


Right hand limit at x = n


= = n


Also, f(n) = [n] = n


As


Therefore, f(x) = [x] is discontinuous at x = n.
