Question:

The value of $\int_{-1}^{15}sgn(\{x\})dx$, where {*} denotes the fractional part function, is

Options:

8

16

24

0

Correct Answer:

16

Explanation:

$\int_{-1}^{15}sgn(\{x\})dx=\int_0^{16}sgn(\{x-1\})dx$ (by property)

$=\int_{-1}^{16}sgn(\{x\})dx=16\int_0^1sgn(\{x\})dx$

$=16\int_0^1sgn(x)dx=16\int_0^11.dx=16$
