The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( x^2 - 3 - \{x\} = 0 \), where \(\{x\}\) denotes the fractional part of \(x\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the fractional part The fractional part \(\{x\}\) is defined as: \[ \{x\} = x - [x] \] where \([x]\) is the greatest integer less than or equal to \(x\). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ x^2 - 3 - (x - [x]) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 - x - 3 + [x] = 0 \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives us: \[ x^2 - x + [x] - 3 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Analyze the range of the fractional part The fractional part \(\{x\}\) is always in the range: \[ 0 \leq \{x\} < 1 \] This means: \[ 0 \leq x^2 - 3 < 1 \] ### Step 4: Solve the inequalities We can break this into two inequalities: 1. \(x^2 - 3 \geq 0\) 2. \(x^2 - 3 < 1\) #### Solving the first inequality: \[ x^2 - 3 \geq 0 \implies x^2 \geq 3 \implies x \leq -\sqrt{3} \text{ or } x \geq \sqrt{3} \] #### Solving the second inequality: \[ x^2 - 3 < 1 \implies x^2 < 4 \implies -2 < x < 2 \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now we need to find the intersection of the two results: 1. From the first inequality: \( (-\infty, -\sqrt{3}] \cup [\sqrt{3}, \infty) \) 2. From the second inequality: \( (-2, 2) \) The intersection of these intervals is: - For \(x \leq -\sqrt{3}\) and \(-2 < x < 2\): The valid interval is \((-2, -\sqrt{3}]\). - For \(x \geq \sqrt{3}\) and \(-2 < x < 2\): The valid interval is \([\sqrt{3}, 2)\). ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ x \in (-2, -\sqrt{3}] \cup [\sqrt{3}, 2) \]
