Let f(x)= [x/3] (where f(x) is the ceiling function). We learned that the floor and the ceiling functions are NOT invertible, bu

t we also learned about the set of preimages of any value in the Range, the set of images. Keeping that in mind, give your answer in interval notation if necessary.
a. Find f-1({5})
b. Find f-1({-2})
c. Find f-1({x | 5 = x = 9 })
d. Find f-1({x | -6 = x = -2})

(a) We have ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = 5 if 5 ≤ <em>x</em> < 6, and similarly ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = 5 if

5 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < 6   ==>   15 ≤ <em>x</em> < 18

(b) ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = -2 if -2 ≤ <em>x</em> < -1, so ⌊<em>x</em>/3⌋ = -2 if

-2 ≤ <em>x</em>/3 < -1   ==>   -6 ≤ <em>x</em> < -3

In general, ⌊<em>x</em>⌋ = <em>n</em> if <em>n</em> ≤ <em>x</em> < <em>n</em> + 1, where <em>n</em> is any integer.

I do not understand what is being asked in (c) and (d), so you'll have to clarify...

Factorize: x² + 3x + 2​
zvonat [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x + 2

x² + x + 2x + 2 because 1+2=3 and 2×1=2

By taking out common terms, we get

x(x+1)+2(x+1)

(x+1)(x+2)

Determine whether the integral from -3 to infinity 1/sqrt (5 - x) is divergent or convergent. If it is convergent, evaluate it.
BigorU [14]

It's divergent because 1/√(5 - <em>x</em>) is defined only for <em>x</em> < 5, which means the integral from 5 to infinity doesn't exist.
