Question

I need help please. Which graph shows y=⌊x⌋+2?

Answer 1

Answer: Top right graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function ⌊x⌋ rounds the value x to the lower whole number.

for example:

⌊1.5⌋ = 1

⌊1.923⌋ = 1

⌊2.0⌋ = 2

then, the graph of ⌊x⌋ will be a black dot in the each whole number, and a horizontal segment to the right that ends with a white dot in the next whole number. Right above the white dot, we have another black dot, and it repeats.

if we have ⌊x⌋ + 2, we move te previous graph 2 units upwards, then the correct option is the top right graph.

You can check some points if you like:

f(0) = ⌊0⌋ + 2 = 2

f(0.5) = ⌊0.5⌋ + 2 = 2

f(1) = ⌊1⌋ + 2 = 3

So in x = 0 we have a black dot in y = 2, and in x = 1 we have a white dot in y = 2 and a black dot in y = 3.
