Math Problem Statement

Graph the function on the interval [-5, 2). f(x)=[[x+4]]

Solution

Here's the graph of the function f(x)=x+4f(x) = \left\lfloor x + 4 \right\rfloor on the interval [5,2)[-5, 2). The function jumps at integer values of xx, and the floor function steps down to the nearest integer at each discontinuity.

Would you like any further details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. What happens to f(x)f(x) when x=2x = 2?
  2. How would the graph change if f(x)=x+4f(x) = \lceil x + 4 \rceil (the ceiling function)?
  3. What is the difference between the floor and ceiling functions?
  4. How does the function behave for negative values of xx?
  5. How would the function change if the interval were extended to [0,5)[0, 5)?

Tip: The floor function always "rounds down" to the nearest integer.
