Math Problem Statement

What is the graph of the function y = ⌊x/p⌋ with x values between -5 and 5?

Solution

The provided image seems to represent a function y=xpy = \left\lfloor \frac{x}{p} \right\rfloor, where \left\lfloor \cdot \right\rfloor represents the floor function, with specific intervals and boundaries for xx in different ranges. Here’s how we can analyze and proceed:

  1. The Function Definition:

    • The function y=xpy = \left\lfloor \frac{x}{p} \right\rfloor indicates that yy is the largest integer less than or equal to xp\frac{x}{p}.
    • The image shows different intervals for xx, each specifying where the output yy remains constant.
  2. Intervals of xx:
