Draw the graph and find the points of discontinuity for `f(x)=[x^(2)-x-1],x in[-1,2]` ([.] represents the greatest integer function).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`f(x)=[x^(2)-x-1],x in[-1,2]`
Let us first draw the graph of `y=x^(2)-x-1`, which is an upward parabola having vertex at (1/2,-5/4).

The graph of `f(x)=[x^(2)-x-1]` can be drawn as shown in the following figure.

From the figure, `y=f(x)` is discontinuous at `x=-1,0,2 and the values of x for which `x^(2)-x-1=0orx=(1pmsqrt5)/(2)`.
