Math Problem Statement
For p(x) = |60/x|, evaluate p(7).
Solution
The expression provided is:
where denotes the floor function, which rounds down to the nearest integer. We are asked to evaluate .
Substituting into the function:
First, calculate :
Now, applying the floor function to 8.5714, we round down to the nearest integer:
Thus, .

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:
- How does the floor function differ from the ceiling function?
- Can you evaluate for the same function?
- What is the difference between the floor and the round function?
- How does the function behave as approaches infinity?
- What happens to when ?
Tip: The floor function always rounds down, so even if the result is very close to the next integer, it will still go to the lower one.
