The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the inequality given by the expression involving the greatest integer function \([x]\) and the least integer function \((x)\). ### Step 1: Understand the Functions - The greatest integer function \([x]\) gives the largest integer less than or equal to \(x\). - The least integer function \((x)\) gives the smallest integer greater than or equal to \(x\). ### Step 2: Set Up the Inequality We are given the inequality: \[ [x]^2 + (x)^2 > 25 \] ### Step 3: Case 1 - When \(x\) is an Integer If \(x\) is an integer, then \([x] = (x) = x\). Therefore, the inequality simplifies to: \[ x^2 + x^2 > 25 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ 2x^2 > 25 \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ x^2 > \frac{25}{2} \] Taking the square root: \[ |x| > \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 3.54 \] Thus, the integer solutions for \(x\) are: \[ x \leq -4 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 4 \] ### Step 4: Case 2 - When \(x\) is Not an Integer If \(x\) is not an integer, then we can express \(x\) as: \[ x = n + d \quad \text{where } n = [x] \text{ (an integer) and } 0 < d < 1 \] In this case, \([x] = n\) and \((x) = n + 1\). The inequality becomes: \[ n^2 + (n + 1)^2 > 25 \] Expanding this: \[ n^2 + (n^2 + 2n + 1) > 25 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2n^2 + 2n + 1 > 25 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2n^2 + 2n - 24 > 0 \] Dividing by 2: \[ n^2 + n - 12 > 0 \] Factoring: \[ (n + 4)(n - 3) > 0 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Quadratic Inequality To solve the inequality \((n + 4)(n - 3) > 0\), we find the critical points \(n = -4\) and \(n = 3\). Testing intervals: - For \(n < -4\), both factors are negative, so the product is positive. - For \(-4 < n < 3\), one factor is negative and one is positive, so the product is negative. - For \(n > 3\), both factors are positive, so the product is positive. Thus, the solution for \(n\) is: \[ n < -4 \quad \text{or} \quad n > 3 \] ### Step 6: Determine Possible Values of \(x\) - If \(n < -4\), then \(n\) can be \(-5, -6, -7, \ldots\) which gives \(x < -4\). - If \(n > 3\), then \(n\) can be \(4, 5, 6, \ldots\) which gives \(x \geq 4\). ### Final Conclusion Combining both cases, we conclude that \(x\) belongs to the intervals: \[ (-\infty, -4) \cup [4, \infty) \]
