Solve x^2-4-[x]=0 (where [] denotes the ...

Solve `x^2-4-[x]=0` (where `[]` denotes the greatest integer function).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The best method to solve such an equation is graphical one.
Give equation is `x^(2)-4= [x]`.
Then the solutions to the question are values of x where the graphs of `y=x^(2)-4 and y= [x]` interesect.

From the figure, it is seen that the graphs intersect when
`" "x^(2)-4=2 and x^(2)-4=2`.
`rArr" "x^(2)= 6 or x^(2) k= 2`
`rArr" "x=x= sqrt6 or -sqrt2`
