The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi [x]\right)}{[x]} \), where \([x]\) is the greatest integer function (also known as the floor function). ### Step 1: Identify the points of discontinuity The greatest integer function \([x]\) changes its value at integer points. Therefore, we need to check the continuity of \( f(x) \) at integer points, specifically at \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots \). ### Step 2: Evaluate \( f(x) \) at integer points 1. **At \( x = 0 \)**: \[ f(0) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi [0]\right)}{[0]} = \frac{\sin(0)}{0} \] This is undefined. 2. **At \( x = 1 \)**: \[ f(1) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi [1]\right)}{[1]} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 1\right)}{1} = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \] 3. **At \( x = 2 \)**: \[ f(2) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi [2]\right)}{[2]} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 2\right)}{2} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] 4. **At \( x = 3 \)**: \[ f(3) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi [3]\right)}{[3]} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 3\right)}{3} = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)}{3} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{6} \] ### Step 3: Check continuity at critical points To check continuity at \( x = 1, 2, 3 \): - **At \( x = 1 \)**: - Left limit as \( x \to 1^- \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 0\right)}{0} \) (undefined) - Right limit as \( x \to 1^+ \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 1\right)}{1} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \) - Since the left limit is undefined, \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 1 \). - **At \( x = 2 \)**: - Left limit as \( x \to 2^- \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 1\right)}{1} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \) - Right limit as \( x \to 2^+ \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 2\right)}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Since the left limit does not equal the right limit, \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 2 \). - **At \( x = 3 \)**: - Left limit as \( x \to 3^- \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 2\right)}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \) - Right limit as \( x \to 3^+ \): \( f(x) = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{4} \pi \cdot 3\right)}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{6} \) - Since the left limit does not equal the right limit, \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 3 \). ### Conclusion The function \( f(x) \) is not continuous at \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3 \). ### Final Answer The function \( f(x) \) is not continuous at any integer point, specifically at \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3 \).
