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.
Y=0 would be a horizontal line. An asymptote is a line that a function approaches, but never reaches. Exponential functions such as these are a smooth curve. If both numbers are positive numbers greater than or equal to 1, the curve increases. If at least one of the numbers is a positive number between 0 and 1, the curve decreases. If <em>a</em> is a negative number, the curve decreases as well. If either <em>a</em> or <em>b</em> is zero, then the graph would stay constant at 0. However, as long as neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, then this graph will never touch that point. The only way to get an answer of y=0 is to multiply by 0. If neither <em>a</em> nor <em>b</em> is zero, this won't happen.
