The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = \min \{ x - [x], 1 + [x] - x \} \) where \( [x] \) is the greatest integer less than or equal to \( x \). The goal is to determine the sets \( P \) and \( Q \) and find the sum of their cardinalities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Function**: - The function \( f(x) \) is defined as the minimum of two expressions: \( x - [x] \) (the fractional part of \( x \)) and \( 1 + [x] - x \). - The fractional part \( x - [x] \) is continuous and varies between 0 and 1 as \( x \) increases from an integer to the next integer. - The second part \( 1 + [x] - x \) can be rewritten as \( 1 - (x - [x]) \). This also varies between 0 and 1. 2. **Identifying Points of Discontinuity (Set \( P \))**: - The function \( f(x) \) can potentially be discontinuous at integer points where the behavior of the fractional part changes. - Since both \( x - [x] \) and \( 1 + [x] - x \) are continuous functions, we need to check if they are equal at integer points. - At integers \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3 \): - \( f(0) = \min\{0, 1\} = 0 \) - \( f(1) = \min\{0, 1\} = 0 \) - \( f(2) = \min\{0, 1\} = 0 \) - \( f(3) = \min\{0, 1\} = 0 \) - Since \( f(x) \) does not change value at these points, \( f(x) \) is continuous everywhere in the interval [0, 3]. Thus, \( P = \emptyset \) and \( |P| = 0 \). 3. **Identifying Points of Non-Differentiability (Set \( Q \))**: - The function \( f(x) \) can be non-differentiable at points where the two expressions switch dominance. - The switch occurs at points where \( x - [x] = 1 + [x] - x \). - Solving \( x - [x] = 1 + [x] - x \) gives \( 2x = 1 + 2[x] \) or \( x = \frac{1 + 2[x]}{2} \). - This occurs at \( x = 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 \) (the midpoints between integers) and also at the integers \( 1, 2 \) where the function value changes. - Therefore, the points of non-differentiability are \( x = 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 \). - Thus, \( |Q| = 5 \). 4. **Calculating the Final Result**: - The sum of the number of elements in \( P \) and \( Q \) is: \[ |P| + |Q| = 0 + 5 = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The sum of the number of elements in \( P \) and \( Q \) is \( \boxed{5} \).
