Hero:

It's not accepting the latex I'm trying to write, but do you know what kind of function is represented by the brackets around x + 1?

Hanna:

No, this is a very confusing lesson to me.

Hero:

It's called the ceiling function which gives the "least integer greater than or equal to x" for a given value between two integers. For example, suppose the input to the function is \(3.7\). We know that \(3.7\) is between integers \(3\) and \(4\). So the least greatest integer of \(3.7\) is \(4\). In other words \(\ceil[3.7] = 4\)

Hero:

And of course the ceiling function \(f(x) = \ceil[x]\) can be graphed.

Hanna:

Oh okay.

Hanna:

Would the answer be the first choice?

Hero:

Yes correct

Hanna:

Yay! Can you help me with another question? It's graphing yourself.

Hero:

TBH, I helped you knowing I have other work I'm supposed to be doing right now. I have to go back to that now. Sorry

Hanna:

Oh okay thank you tho! You helped alot!
