Continuity & Differentiability · Question 48 of 125

Question 48

MediumOriginal question

f(x)=[x]+[−x]f(x) = [x] + [-x] for x≠2x \ne 2, and the value of ff at x=2x = 2 is kk. For which kk is ff continuous at x=2x = 2?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Just left of 2: [x]=1[x] = 1 and [−x]=−2[-x] = -2, sum −1-1. Just right of 2: [x]=2[x] = 2 and [−x]=−3[-x] = -3, sum −1-1.

  2. Both one-sided limits are −1-1, so k=−1k = -1.

Worth noting

0 is [2]+[−2][2] + [-2], the formula's own value at 2; continuity needs the limit −1-1 there instead.
