The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = x - \{x\} + [x] \), where \([x]\) is the greatest integer function and \(\{x\}\) is the fractional part function. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Functions**: - The greatest integer function \([x]\) gives the largest integer less than or equal to \(x\). - The fractional part function \(\{x\} = x - [x]\) gives the non-integer part of \(x\). 2. **Rewriting the Function**: - We can express \(f(x)\) as: \[ f(x) = x - (x - [x]) + [x] = x - x + [x] + [x] = 2[x] + 1 \] - Thus, we have: \[ f(x) = 2[x] + 1 \] 3. **Identifying Points of Discontinuity**: - The function \([x]\) is discontinuous at all integer values of \(x\). - Therefore, \(f(x)\) will also be discontinuous at these points. 4. **Finding the Integer Points in the Interval \([-2, 2]\)**: - The integer points in the interval \([-2, 2]\) are: \(-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\). - This gives us a total of 5 integer points. 5. **Determining Non-Differentiability**: - A function is non-differentiable at points where it is discontinuous. - Since \(f(x)\) is discontinuous at the integer points, it is also non-differentiable at these points. 6. **Conclusion**: - The number of points at which \(f(x)\) is both discontinuous and non-differentiable in the interval \([-2, 2]\) is 5. ### Final Answer: The number of points at which \(f(x)\) is both discontinuous and non-differentiable in \([-2, 2]\) is **5**.
