Question

Anyone knowknow how to do the Graphing step function?Please...i really need help...i don't want to fail at life....:(

Answer 1

Relax, we will help you get through this. Can you please post a question to give me an example?

Answer 2

Define the rule of the function\[y=[x]\] to be the greatest integer less than or equal to x

Answer 3

okay okay THANK YOU....f(x)={ 3, if 1<= x<2}
that's one out of 3 parts

Answer 4

how the heck do you graph that?

Answer 5

hello?

Answer 6

that basically says that f(x) = 3 when 1<=x<2

Answer 7

Every non-integer value of x will map to the next lower integer. For example, [1.9999999999999999999]=1, but [2]=2.

Answer 8

so graph y = 3 but only do so from x=1 to x=2, remember to draw an open circle at the endpoint x=2

Answer 9

So the function's y values will jump up (or down) to the next integer at each integer.

Answer 10

really that's it???THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!

Answer 11

Here is an example attached

Answer 22

you don't, the horizontal lines are all isolated from each other

Answer 23

wait im confusedthen why does it look like i connect the lines on the picture Mandolino gave me?

Answer 24

Each "step" is a connected line segment, but the steps are not connected with each other. Does that make sense?
