miracrown · Answer

well, I think this requires the greatest integer function
have you studied it? @Nnesha

nnesha · Answer

yes i can graph this by looking at the equation but this i don't understand this one

miracrown · Answer

were you given the equation?
that's what we have to find, right?

nnesha · Answer

yeah

miracrown · Answer

then let me show you a more basic graph, maybe we can use it to create this graph

miracrown · Answer

the greatest integer function is the function we need to be using http://screencast.com/t/Qw2i3Qwziw2j

miracrown · Answer

that looks a lot like our graph
except our graph has more spacing between the segments
see what I mean?

nnesha · Answer

so our graph should be y=3[x} right ??????/

miracrown · Answer

yes and also add 4

nnesha · Answer

y=3[x] + 4 just like that???

miracrown · Answer

we have to add 4 because
these two things correspond to one another on the graphs 
so it's a vertical shift of 4 units

miracrown · Answer

yup

miracrown · Answer

I think that works
