The correct Answer is:
To find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \log_e(x - [x]) \), where \([x]\) denotes the greatest integer function, we need to ensure that the argument of the logarithm is positive. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function**: The function is defined as \( f(x) = \log_e(x - [x]) \). Here, \([x]\) is the greatest integer less than or equal to \(x\). 2. **Condition for Logarithm**: The logarithm is defined only for positive arguments. Therefore, we need: \[ x - [x] > 0 \] 3. **Analyzing \(x - [x]\)**: The expression \(x - [x]\) represents the fractional part of \(x\), which is denoted as \(\{x\}\). The fractional part is defined as: \[ \{x\} = x - [x] \] This value is always in the interval \(0 \leq \{x\} < 1\). 4. **Setting the Inequality**: From the condition \(x - [x] > 0\), we can rewrite it as: \[ \{x\} > 0 \] This means that \(x\) cannot be an integer because if \(x\) is an integer, \(\{x\} = 0\). 5. **Conclusion About Domain**: Therefore, the condition \( \{x\} > 0 \) implies that \(x\) must be a real number that is not an integer. Thus, the domain of the function is: \[ \text{Domain of } f(x) = \mathbb{R} \setminus \mathbb{Z} \] This means \(x\) can take any real number value except integers. ### Final Answer: The domain of the function \( f(x) = \log_e(x - [x]) \) is all real numbers except integers: \[ \text{Domain} = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} : x \text{ is not an integer} \} \]
