Question:

Let $g(x)=1+x-[x]$ and $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-1 & x<0 \\ 0 & x=0 \\ 1 & x>1\end{array}\right.$. Then for all x, f {g(x)} is equal to :

Options:

x

1

f(x)

g(x)

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

$g(x) =1+x-[x]$   ($[x]=x-\{x\}$ (fractional part function))

$⇒g(x)=1+[x]$

so, $0≤\{x\}≤1$

$⇒g(x)≥1$

so $f(g(x))=1$  as $g(x)≥1$

for input ≥ 1, $f = 1$
