Correct answer: C
- We need to evaluate where denotes the greatest integer function.
So the integrand is
- Let We first study the range of on .
This is a downward-opening parabola.
Its vertex is at Then
=-\frac98+\frac94-1=\frac18.$$ Also, $$g(0)=-1, \qquad g(1)=-3.$$ Hence on $[0,1]$, the values of $g(x)$ lie between $-3$ and $\frac18$. Therefore, the possible values of $[g(x)]$ are $-3,-2,-1,0$. 3. Find where $g(x)=0,-1,-2$. ### (i) Solve $g(x)=0$ $$-8x^2+6x-1=0$$ $$8x^2-6x+1=0$$ $$x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-32}}{16}=\frac{6\pm2}{16}$$ So, $$x=\frac14,\ \frac12.$$ Since the parabola opens downward, $g(x)\ge 0$ for $$x\in\left[\frac14,\frac12\right].$$ Thus, $$[g(x)]=0 \quad \text{for } x\in\left[\frac14,\frac12\right].$$ ### (ii) Solve $g(x)=-1$ $$-8x^2+6x-1=-1$$ $$-8x^2+6x=0$$ $$2x( -4x+3)=0$$ So, $$x=0,\ \frac34.$$ Thus, $$g(x)\ge -1 \text{ on } \left[0,\frac34\right],$$ and $g(x)<-1$ for $x>\frac34$. Combining with the previous result: - On $\left[0,\frac14\right)$ and $\left(\frac12,\frac34\right]$, we have $-1\le g(x)<0$, so $$[g(x)]=-1.$$ ### (iii) Solve $g(x)=-2$ $$-8x^2+6x-1=-2$$ $$-8x^2+6x+1=0$$ $$8x^2-6x-1=0$$ $$x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36+32}}{16}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{68}}{16}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{17}}{8}.$$ Only the root in $[0,1]$ is $$x=\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}.$$ For $x\in\left(\frac34,\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}\right)$, we have $$-2<g(x)<-1 \implies [g(x)]=-2.$$ For $x\in\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8},1\right]$, we have $$-3\le g(x)<-2 \implies [g(x)]=-3.$$ 4. Now integrate piecewise: $$I=\int_0^{1/4}(-1)\,dx+\int_{1/4}^{1/2}0\,dx+\int_{1/2}^{3/4}(-1)\,dx+\int_{3/4}^{(3+\sqrt{17})/8}(-2)\,dx+\int_{(3+\sqrt{17})/8}^{1}(-3)\,dx.$$ Compute each part: $$\int_0^{1/4}(-1)dx=-\frac14,$$ $$\int_{1/4}^{1/2}0\,dx=0,$$ $$\int_{1/2}^{3/4}(-1)dx=-\frac14,$$ $$\int_{3/4}^{(3+\sqrt{17})/8}(-2)dx=-2\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}-\frac34\right),$$ $$\int_{(3+\sqrt{17})/8}^{1}(-3)dx=-3\left(1-\frac{3+\sqrt{17}}{8}\right).$$ So, $$I=-\frac12-2\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{17}-6}{8}\right)-3\left(\frac{8-3-\sqrt{17}}{8}\right).$$ That is, $$I=-\frac12-2\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}-3}{8}\right)-3\left(\frac{5-\sqrt{17}}{8}\right).$$ $$I=-\frac12-\frac{\sqrt{17}-3}{4}-\frac{15-3\sqrt{17}}{8}.$$ Take common denominator $8$: $$I=\frac{-4}{8}+\frac{-2\sqrt{17}+6}{8}+\frac{-15+3\sqrt{17}}{8}.$$ $$I=\frac{-13+\sqrt{17}}{8}.$$ Hence, $$I=\frac{\sqrt{17}-13}{8}.$$ 5.
