Let be the unknown number. So, three times that number means
, and the square of the number is
We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have
Then, we have to subtract this number from , so we have
The result is 120, so the equation is
This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like . These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula
If you plug the values from your equation, you have
So, the two solutions would be
But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution
we are given
f(x)=[x=1]
where bracket means ceiling functions
we know that
Ceiling function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number
so, we can check each options
option-A:
At x=-4:
f(x)=[-4-1] =-5
For x<-3:
Let's assume
x=-3.1
f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5
so, this interval is TRUE
option-B:
At x=-2:
f(x)=[-2-1] =-3
For x<-1:
Let's assume
x=-1.1
f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3
so, this is FALSE
