The solution set of the equation $(x + 2)^2 + [x-2]^2 = (x-2)^2 + [x+2]^2$, where [.] represents the greatest integer function, is |
$N$ $Z$ $Q$ $R$ |
$Z$ |
We have, $[x+n]=[x]+n$ where $n∈ Z$ and $x ∈ R$. $∴(x+2)^2+[x-2]^2=(x-2)^2+(x+2]^2$ $⇒(x + 2)^2 - (x-2)^2 = [x+2]^2 -[x-2]^2$ $⇒(x + 2)^2 - \{(x+2)-4\}^2 =[x + 2]^2 -[(x+2) - 4]^2$ $⇒ (x+2)^2 - \{(x+2)-4\}^2=[x+2]^2-\{[x+2]-4\}^2$ $⇒8(x+2)=8 [x + 2]$ $⇒(x+2)-[x + 2]=0$ $⇒\{x + 2\} = 0$, where {x} denotes the fractional part of x $⇒x+2∈Z ⇒ x∈Z$ Hence, the solution set of the given equation is the set of integers. |
