Question:

The value of $\int\limits_0^{[x]}(-x-[x]) d x$, is

Options:

[x]

2[x]

(1/2)[x]

none of these

Correct Answer:

(1/2)[x]

Explanation:

We have,

$I=\int\limits_0^{[x]}(x-[x]) d x$

$\Rightarrow I=[x] \int\limits_0^1(x-[x]) d x$                  [∵ x - [x] is periodic]

$\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}[x]$
