(c) $\frac{2}{\pi} f \frac{1}{2}$

(d) $4 f(2)$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 2. (1)

Solution:

  1. NOTE All integers are critical point for greatest integer function. Case I When $x \in I$

$$ f(x)=[x]^{2}-\left[x^{2}\right]=x^{2}-x^{2}=0 $$

Case II When $x \notin I$ If $0<x<1$, then $[x]=0$

$$ \text { and } \quad 0<x^{2}<1 \text {, then }\left[x^{2}\right]=0 $$

Next, if $\quad 1 \leq x^{2}<2 \Rightarrow 1 \leq x<\sqrt{2}$

$$ \Rightarrow \quad[x]=1 \quad \text { and } \quad\left[x^{2}\right]=1 $$

Therefore, $f(x)=[x]^{2}-\left[x^{2}\right]=0$, if $1 \leq x<\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, $\quad f(x)=0$, if $0 \leq x<\sqrt{2}$

This shows that $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=1$.

Therefore, $f(x)$ is discontinuous in $(-\infty, 0) \cup[\sqrt{2}, \infty)$ on many other points. Therefore, (b) is the answer.
