Math Problem Statement

مجموعة قيم x التي تحقق المعادلة ⌊x⌋ = -2 هي؟

Solution

The problem asks to find the range of values of xx that satisfy the equation x=2\lfloor x \rfloor = -2, where x\lfloor x \rfloor represents the greatest integer less than or equal to xx.

For x=2\lfloor x \rfloor = -2, xx must be in the range where the greatest integer less than or equal to xx is -2. This occurs when:

2x<1-2 \leq x < -1

Thus, the correct range for xx is 2x<1-2 \leq x < -1.

The correct answer is B.
