Letf(x)=x·x2,for-10<x<10,wheretdenotes the greatest integer function. Then the number of points of discontinuity offxis equal to

Answer:
8
Solution:

We know that the greatest integer function is discontinuous at integral points.

-5<x2<5

  x2=-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4, are the integer values.

At x=0f0+=f0=f0-=0, which means that function is continuous at x=0.

x-10x2-5

Hence, the function is discontinuous at points -4,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3,4

The number of values is 8 .
