The given function \(f(x)=[x]\) is discontinuous at:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → every integer
[x] is the greatest integer function: the greatest integer not exceeding x.
At an integer n, the value and the two one-sided limits are:
\(\text{left-hand limit} = n-1\)
\(\text{right-hand limit} = n = f(n)\)
The left-hand limit differs from f(n), so f jumps by 1 and is discontinuous at every integer.
At a non-integer c, [x] keeps the same constant value on a small interval around c, so f is continuous there. Hence the points of discontinuity are exactly the integers.
