Prove that lim(xto2) [x] does not exists...

Prove that `lim_(xto2) [x]` does not exists, where [.] represents the greatest integer function.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We know that greatest integer function changes its value at integral values of x.
So, let us find LHL and RHL.
`LHL=underset(xto2)lim[x]=underset(htoo)lim[2-h]`
Sine h is positive and infinitely small `(2-h)` is value very close to 2 but smaller than 2 (say 1.99999)
`:." "[2-h]=1,` when h approaches to zero. Thus, LHL=1
`RHL=underset(xto2)lim[x]=underset(hto0)lim[2+h]=[2.00001]=2`
We observe that `LHLneRHL.` So, `underset(xto2)lim[x]` does not exist.
