Math Problem Statement

⌊np⌋-10⌊np⌋

Solution

The expression given is:

np10np\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor - 10\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor

Breaking it down:

  1. np\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor represents the floor function of npn \cdot p, which means it is the greatest integer less than or equal to npn \cdot p.

  2. The second term is 10 times the same floor value, 10np10\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor.

Thus, the whole expression simplifies to:

np10np=9np\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor - 10\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor = -9\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor

Conclusion:

The expression simplifies to:

9np-9\lfloor n \cdot p \rfloor
