Correct answer: 5
- Understand the function
Given
where is the greatest integer function.
Let be the fractional part of . Then So the function becomes
Thus on each interval , depends only on the fractional part :
- Write the function piecewise on each unit interval
For :
- if , then , so
- if , then , so
Hence on each interval ,
for .
- Find points of discontinuity: set
Possible trouble points are integers, because the fractional part resets there.
At
Right-hand limit at is also , so is continuous at .
At
From the left, as , , so At , , hence From the right, again values are near . So continuous at .
Similarly, at and , and the one-sided/two-sided limits match.
Within each open interval between consecutive integers, the function is piecewise linear and continuous.
Therefore, and number of elements in is
- Find points where is not differentiable: set
Inside each interval, non-differentiability can occur where the two branches meet, i.e. at These points in are
Check derivative at such a point:
- Left derivative is (from branch ),
- Right derivative is (from branch ).
Since left and right derivatives are unequal, is not differentiable at each of these three points.
Now check integers inside , namely .
Near :
- for , close to , so left derivative is ;
- for , close to , so right derivative is .
Hence not differentiable at .
Similarly at :
- left derivative ,
- right derivative , so not differentiable at .
Thus and
- Required sum
Therefore, the required integer is
