Let x denote the greatest integer ≤ x , where x ∈ R . If the domain of the real valued function f x = x - 2 x - 3 is - ∞ , a ∪ b , c ∪ 4 , ∞ , a < b < c , then the value of a + b + c is:
Options
- A8
- B1
- C- 2
- D- 3
Correct answer
C. - 2
Step-by-step solution
We have, f x = x - 2 x - 3 For domain, x - 2 x - 3 ≥ 0 Case I : When | [ x ] | - 2 ≥ 0 and x - 3 > 0 , then ∴   x ∈ - ∞ , - 3 ∪ 4 , ∞         . . . 1 Case II : When x - 2 ≤ 0 and x - 3 < 0 , then ∴   x ∈ - 2 , 3       . . . 2 So, from 1 and 2 , we get Domain of function is - ∞ , - 3 ∪ - 2 , 3 ∪ 4 , ∞ ∴   a + b + c = - 3 + - 2 + 3 = - 2 ∵   a < b < c
