Question

Which pair(s) of expression are equal in value? Check all that apply

Answer 1

Answer:

a [4.9] and [3.1]

c [-6] and [-6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Note: Since the symbols for greatest integer function (GIF) and least integer function (LIF) are not given, I will be using the words GIF and LIF in the solution

GIF x means largest integer less than or equal to x, and LIF x means least integer greater than or equal to x.

We need to determine which expressions are equal

Option 1: GIF 4.9 and LIF 3.1

GIF 4.9 =  3

LIF 3.1 = 4

Hence GIF 4.9 ≠ LIF 3.1

Option 2: GIF 15.2 and GIF 14.8

GIF 15.2 = 15

GIF 14.8 = 14

Hence, GIF 15.2 ≠ GIF 14.8

Option 3: GIF -6 and LIF -6

GIF -6 = -6

LIF -6 = -6

Hence, GIF -6 = LIF -6

Option 4: LIF -3.2 and LIF -2.6

LIF -3.2 = -2

LIF -2.6 = -1

Hence, LIF -3.2 ≠ LIF -2.6

Hence, only in Option C the pair of expressions are equal.
