The greatest integer function, ⌊x⌋, is equal to the largest integer that is smaller than or equal to x. In the domain [0,100], how many solutions are there to x^2−[x]x=82.25

OpenStudy (dls):

x(x-[x])=82.25 x({x}) = 82.25 what now?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x^2−[x]x=82.25 divide x thru out

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x - [x] = 82.5/x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

observe that left side is (0, 1) also see that, right side is >=1, when x <= 82.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so our solutions will be very few numbers between 82.5 and 100

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

17 or 18 should be the # of solutions, a careful observation gives u the exact count
