Let [x][x] denote the greatest integer ≤t\leq t and aZ=[ax:x∈Z,a∈R]a \mathbb{Z} = [ax: x \in \mathbb{Z}, a \in \mathbb{R}] (where Z\mathbb{Z} is set of integer and R\mathbb{R} is set of real number). The set of points of discontinuity of the function f(x)=[2x]f(x) = [2x] is given by

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The greatest integer function [t][t] is discontinuous at every value of tt that is an integer.

The function f(x)=[2x]f(x) = [2x] is discontinuous when the argument 2x2x is an integer.

2x=n,n∈Z2x = n, n \in \mathbb{Z}

x=n2,n∈Zx = \frac{n}{2}, n \in \mathbb{Z}


Using the notation aZ={ax:x∈Z}a\mathbb{Z} = \{ax : x \in \mathbb{Z}\}, the set of points of discontinuity is represented by taking a=12a = \frac{1}{2}.

The set is 12Z\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}.
