Math Problem Statement

g: R → Z g(x) = [x] Matching • 3 points

Solution

The question in your image appears to involve the floor function, denoted g(x)=xg(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor, and is related to the mathematical sets R\mathbb{R}, Z\mathbb{Z}, and the function gg.

Let me break it down for clarification:

Definitions:

  1. R\mathbb{R}: The set of all real numbers.
  2. Z\mathbb{Z}: The set of all integers.
  3. g(x)=xg(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor: The floor function, which maps a real number xx to the largest integer less than or equal to xx.

Function Domain and Codomain:

  • The floor function gg takes an input from R\mathbb{R} (real numbers) and outputs a value in Z\mathbb{Z} (integers). This is usually denoted as: g:RZg: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{Z}

Matching Terms:

Here’s how you might match the given terms:

  • R\mathbb{R}: Domain of g(x)g(x).
  • Z\mathbb{Z}: Codomain of g(x)g(x).
  • gg: The floor function itself.
  • xx: A variable in the domain R\mathbb{R}.

Would you like further clarification or additional details?


Related Questions:

  1. What is the difference between the floor function and the ceiling function?
  2. How can we represent g(x)=xg(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor on a graph?
  3. Why does g(x)g(x) map R\mathbb{R} to Z\mathbb{Z}?
  4. What happens when xx is an integer for g(x)g(x)?
  5. Can the codomain of g(x)g(x) be a subset of Z\mathbb{Z}?

Tip:

When analyzing functions, always confirm the domain and codomain explicitly—they define the function's behavior and output set!
