*** Please pay attention to what I am saying instead of just blurting out answers ***
anyway, ⌊x⌋ means we round down to the nearest integer so if x = 0.5, what's ⌊x⌋ equal to?
0.5
try one more time
or 5
what's the highest integer that is less than 0.5?
0.9
0.9 is not an integer
one last time... integers are positive and negative <<<WHOLE NUMBERS >>>
1.0
1.0 is NOT less than 0.5
we are looking for the greatest integer that is LESS than 0.5
0.5<1
one last time we want an integer that is LESS than 0.5 1 is GREATER than 0.5 so it is not the answer
Please slow down and think a little harder.
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 I WAS SO DEBATING ON IT
it is NOT 1
1 is GREATER than 0.5 we want an integer that is LESS than 0.5 keep trying.
hint: here are examples of integers: -1,0,1 what's the greatest integer that is LESS than 0.5?
is it 0 ?
good, that's it!
now, if we take ⌊x⌋ + 3 where x = 0.5, we get 0 + 3 = 3 so which graph crosses the point (0.5,3)?
*** take your time before answering ***
I need to get going home, be back in like 15 mins
it's C
try one more time. make sure you are looking at the point (0.5,3) and examine each graph slowly and carefully.
sorry i was busy
