The step function is characteristic of the floor or ceiling functions, which map a real number to an integer. There's clearly a factor of 2, indicated by two units of y for every one unit of x.
The open and filled circles indicate, for example, f(1)=2, f(1.01)=4. That means we're rounding up, so we're using the ceiling function.

Answer: second choice
Answer:
See Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers
Using direct proofs.
Let the two rational numbers be A and B.
Such that:


The product:




Proved, because 1/3 is rational
(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number
Using direct proofs.
Let the two rational numbers be A and B.
Such that:


The quotient:

Express as product



Proved, because 3/4 is rational
(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)
Using direct proofs.
Let x and y be
Such that:


The sum:

Take LCM


Proved, because 7/6 is rational
<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>
1 pound of bread contains
cups of cinnamon.
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
Given that , In
pound of a banana bread, there is
cup of cinnamon
<em><u>To find:</u></em>
Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread
Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread
pound of banana bread ⇒
cup of cinnamon
Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon
Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains
cups of cinnamon.
The answer to the problem is A
