The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the function \( g(x) = x - [x] \) and the function \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \) where \( f \) is continuous and \( f(0) = f(1) \). ### Step 1: Understand the function \( g(x) \) The function \( g(x) = x - [x] \) gives the fractional part of \( x \). This means: - For any integer \( n \), \( g(n) = 0 \). - For any non-integer \( x \), \( g(x) \) will be a value in the interval \( (0, 1) \). ### Step 2: Analyze the continuity of \( h(x) \) We want to show that \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \) is continuous everywhere on \( \mathbb{R} \). ### Step 3: Consider the points where \( x \) is an integer Let \( c \) be an integer. We will find the left-hand limit (LHL) and right-hand limit (RHL) of \( h(x) \) as \( x \) approaches \( c \). - **Right-hand limit (RHL)**: \[ \text{RHL} = \lim_{x \to c^+} h(x) = \lim_{x \to c^+} f(g(x)) = \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x - [x]) = \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x - c) = f(0) \] - **Left-hand limit (LHL)**: \[ \text{LHL} = \lim_{x \to c^-} h(x) = \lim_{x \to c^-} f(g(x)) = \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x - [x]) = \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x - c + 1) = f(1) \] Since \( f(0) = f(1) \), we have: \[ \text{RHL} = \text{LHL} = f(0) = f(1) \] Thus, \( h(x) \) is continuous at integer points. ### Step 4: Consider the points where \( x \) is not an integer Let \( c \) be a non-integer. For example, if \( c = 2.5 \): - **Right-hand limit (RHL)**: \[ \text{RHL} = \lim_{x \to 2.5^+} h(x) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^+} f(g(x)) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^+} f(x - [x]) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^+} f(x - 2) = f(0.5) \] - **Left-hand limit (LHL)**: \[ \text{LHL} = \lim_{x \to 2.5^-} h(x) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^-} f(g(x)) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^-} f(x - [x]) = \lim_{x \to 2.5^-} f(x - 2) = f(0.5) \] Again, since both limits are equal, we find that \( h(x) \) is continuous at non-integer points as well. ### Conclusion Since \( h(x) \) is continuous at both integer and non-integer points, we conclude that \( h(x) \) is continuous on \( \mathbb{R} \). ### Final Answer The function \( h(x) = f(g(x)) \) is continuous on \( \mathbb{R} \). ---
