The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \), where \( g(x) = x - [x] \) (the fractional part of \( x \)), and \( f(x) \) is a continuous function with \( f(0) = f(1) \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding \( g(x) \)**: - The function \( g(x) = x - [x] \) gives the fractional part of \( x \). This means \( g(x) \) will always yield a value in the interval \([0, 1)\) for any real number \( x \). - For example, if \( x = 2.3 \), then \( g(2.3) = 2.3 - 2 = 0.3 \). **Hint**: Remember that the fractional part of any number is always between 0 and 1. 2. **Behavior of \( h(x) \)**: - The function \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \) means we are applying \( f \) to the fractional part of \( x \). - Since \( g(x) \) maps every \( x \) to \([0, 1)\), \( h(x) \) will take values of \( f \) only in the interval \([0, 1)\). **Hint**: \( h(x) \) will depend on how \( f \) behaves between 0 and 1. 3. **Continuity of \( f \)**: - Given that \( f \) is continuous and \( f(0) = f(1) \), we can conclude that as \( g(x) \) approaches 1 (which happens as \( x \) approaches any integer), \( f(g(x)) \) will approach \( f(0) \). - However, at every integer \( n \), \( g(n) = 0 \), hence \( h(n) = f(0) \). **Hint**: The continuity of \( f \) at the endpoints of the interval \([0, 1)\) is crucial. 4. **Discontinuities of \( h(x) \)**: - At every integer \( n \), \( h(n) = f(0) \), but just before reaching \( n \) (for values like \( n - 0.1 \)), \( h(n - 0.1) \) will be \( f(g(n - 0.1)) = f(0.9) \) (or some value close to \( f(1) \)). - Since \( f(0) \) and \( f(1) \) are equal, but the values of \( h(x) \) just before \( n \) and at \( n \) can differ, \( h(x) \) is discontinuous at every integer. **Hint**: Check the behavior of \( h(x) \) around integers to identify discontinuities. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since \( h(x) \) is discontinuous at every integer and there are infinitely many integers, we conclude that \( h(x) \) has infinitely many points of discontinuity. ### Final Answer: The function \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \) has infinitely many discontinuities.
