For the greatest integer function f(x)=[x]f(x)=[x], which of the following statements are correct?

A. It is continuous at all real numbers.

B. It is continuous at x=2x=2 and 3.

C. It is continuous and differentiable for x∈(2,3)x\in(2,3)

D. It is continuous and differentiable at x=4.5x=4.5

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The greatest integer function is discontinuous exactly at the integers, so A and B are false.

On the open interval (2,3)(2,3) it is constant, equal to 2, hence continuous and differentiable, so C is true.

At x=4.5x=4.5 it is constant in a neighbourhood, so it is continuous and differentiable there, making D true.
