- B3
- C7
- D

Correct answer: B
- Simplify the floor terms
We need to evaluate
Notice that So
Also, For , we have and
- Key observation
Let Then on the interval , is an integer only at isolated points, so floor behavior is easy to inspect through intervals between integers of and .
But there is a much simpler identity: Now make the substitution Then as goes from to , goes from to .
Define Then Hence, for all where defined, and here it is defined everywhere on because denominator is positive.
- Use symmetry of the interval
The interval is symmetric about , and the transformation maps onto itself.
Therefore, Also, Adding,
\int_4^{10} 1\,dx=10-4=6.$$ So, $$I=3.$$ 4. **Compare with options** Thus the value of the integral is $$\boxed{3}.$$ So the correct option is **B**. 5. **Verification with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **B** Our derived answer: **B** They agree.More from Definite Integration
