Ive tried graphing this and am as confused as you are, good luck though!

Macho14:

so, first of all, this is a floor function, and floor functions begin with closed dots, so we can rule out anything that begins with an open dot.

Macho14:

plug in the two values given over the x interval: \[(-3)-2\] and\[(3)-2\]

Macho14:

\[-3-2=-5\] and \[3-2=1\]

Macho14:

so you are correct in the answer you chose, because on the interval [-3,3], y = -5 and 1

Macho14:

I hope this helped!

iosangel:

If it is an open dot it would be )/( and closed dots would be brackets?

iosangel:

Is that what the brackets mean

Macho14:

https://byjus.com/maths/ceiling-function/#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20difference%20between,integer%20for%20a%20specified%20value this should help, the brackets just determine whether or not it is a ceiling or floor function

Macho14:

ceiling functions begin with open dots, and floor functions begin with closed dots.

iosangel:

ok, thank you

Macho14:
