The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = [x] + [-x] \), where \([x]\) denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to \( x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function**: - The function \( f(x) \) is defined as \( f(x) = [x] + [-x] \). - Here, \([x]\) is the greatest integer less than or equal to \( x \) and \([-x]\) is the greatest integer less than or equal to \(-x\). 2. **Case 1: When \( x \) is an Integer**: - Let \( x = m \), where \( m \) is an integer. - Then, \([m] = m\) and \([-m] = -m\). - Therefore, \( f(m) = m + (-m) = 0 \). 3. **Case 2: When \( x \) is Not an Integer**: - Let \( x \) be a non-integer, which can be expressed as \( x = m + \epsilon \) where \( 0 < \epsilon < 1 \). - In this case, \([x] = m\) and \([-x] = -m - 1\) (since \(-x\) will be slightly less than \(-m\)). - Thus, \( f(x) = [x] + [-x] = m + (-m - 1) = -1 \). 4. **Finding the Limits**: - We need to evaluate the limits as \( x \) approaches \( m \) from both sides. - **Limit as \( x \to m^+ \)** (approaching from the right): - For \( x \to m^+ \), \( x \) is not an integer, hence \( f(x) = -1 \). - Therefore, \( \lim_{x \to m^+} f(x) = -1 \). - **Limit as \( x \to m^- \)** (approaching from the left): - For \( x \to m^- \), \( x \) is also not an integer, hence \( f(x) = -1 \). - Therefore, \( \lim_{x \to m^-} f(x) = -1 \). 5. **Comparing the Limits with \( f(m) \)**: - We have \( f(m) = 0 \) (since \( m \) is an integer). - The limits from both sides are \( -1 \). - Since \( \lim_{x \to m^+} f(x) = -1 \) and \( \lim_{x \to m^-} f(x) = -1 \), but \( f(m) = 0 \), we conclude that: \[ \lim_{x \to m} f(x) \neq f(m) \] ### Conclusion: The function \( f(x) \) is not continuous at integer points \( m \). Therefore, the correct option is that the limit exists but does not equal the function value at that point.
