Question

a can of coffee is supposed to contain one pound f coffee. How does the actual weight of the coffee in the can compare to 1 pound?

a. greatest integer function
b. step function
c. absolute value function

Answer 1

This is a strange question.

I am guessing a. greatest integer function
because it deals with an interval of numbers not greater than a given number. I am thinking that a pound of coffee means that the pound is the greatest amount you can expect in the can but there may be less.
