Question

Nina graphs the function y = ⌊x⌋ to learn the properties of the parent floor function.

What is the value of y when x =5.7?

Answer 1

the floor function results in the lowest integer below the input
for example floor(6.4)=6

Answer 2

well less than or equal to the input

Answer 3

@alyssa_xo so it'd be 5 correct? you dont round up?

Answer 4

yeah. rounding isn't technically the right word to use here
the ceiling function does what you're describing though

Answer 5

for example \(\lceil 5.5 \rceil=6\\\lfloor 5.5 \rfloor=5\\\lfloor 4 \rfloor=4\)

Answer 6

I got you! thanks so much
