Let \(f(x) = [x], x \in (0, 6)\), where[x] is the greatest integer function. Then the number of discontinuities of \(f(x)\)

  • A.1
  • B.2
  • C.3
  • D.4
  • E.5

Answer: E

There are 5 discontinuities.

The greatest integer function jumps by 1 at every integer and is constant between consecutive integers. In the open interval (0, 6) the integers are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The end points 0 and 6 are not in the interval, so they are not counted. Counting them would give 7; the smaller options miss some of the five interior jumps.
