y asish s post is not pinked he was rite with graph sir. i also made this graph. pls inform wat is wrong with asish's post.

like put an n2 in the denominator [3]

tapanmast Vora ·

y=198(here)

Looks like sumthin to do with binary system coz ther 2 v perform such kind of operations...[7]

sir got an idea
{x}=x x(0,1)
{x}=x-1 x(1,2)
and so on ..............
now in (0,1)
y=3x +x/2 +x/4 ............x/2n where n tends to ∞
=4x

so graph will have a slope of 4 in (0,1)
and in the further manner we could proceed to make the whole graph

i hope this was what u expecting
sir

sir please reply

one thing i know is that y= -∞ for x<0
For x>0,
x ε [0,1) y=0
x ε [1,2) y=1
x ε [2,3) y=3
x ε [3,4) y=4
x ε [4,5) y=7
x ε [5,6) y=8
.
.
.
.
for x ε [2n,2n+1) y=2n+1-1
for x ε [any odd number,that odd number + 1), y=yprevious even number + 1

This was all i could get......
the gaps are at varying heights....

Also for x ε [every multiple of 2n but not of any further power of 2,every multiple of 2n but not of any further power of 2 + 1) y= yprevious number + (n+1)

For example for x ε [3*25,3*25 +1) y=yof 3*25-1 + 6

sorry ashish but i dont agree!!!!!!!!!!!

Lokesh Verma ·

good work ashish.. this is a good way to look at it.

there are too many complexities as we go to higher numbers....

but this was only to show how a simple looking function could end up being that complex.

I felt sad that not many of you could notice that the value will be constant between integers!!

@manipal what do u think is wrong?

SIR WHAT IS THE FLAW WITH MY EXPLAINATION

{x}=x x(0,1)
{x}=x-1 x(1,2)
and so on ..............
now in (0,1)
y=3x +x/2 +x/4 ............x/2n where n tends to ∞
=4x

so graph will have a slope of 4 in (0,1)
and in the further manner we could proceed to make the whole graph

i hope this was what u expecting
sir

Asish Mahapatra ·

@manipal. take any value in (0,1) say 0.5, then [0.5]=0 and subsequent terms is also zero. hence y=0.

sir can modyfy it a little bit so that sandwich theorm can be applied[3]

62
Lokesh Verma ·

there are many more complexities to this one... see a larger number say 21.. what will be the answer? will it satisfy ashish's expression? 21+10+5+2+1=39 22+11+5+2+1=41 29+14+7+3+1=54 I dont see his formula satisfying everything!

62
Lokesh Verma ·

His attempt was good no doubt.

Hint: take the binary expansion of the whole number!

106
Asish Mahapatra ·

nishant bhaiyya which expression are u talking abt?

1
Philip Calvert ·

"binary expansion" [7][7] now what is this??

106
Asish Mahapatra ·

nish bhaiyya in ur abv post 22+11+5+2+1 = 41 not 40

62
Lokesh Verma ·

sorry i meant

binary representation of the decimal number

10101 = 1 + 4 + 16 = 21

so every number can be represented as

2a + 2b + 2c + ....

now does this expression help?

"Looks like sumthin to do with binary system coz ther 2 v perform such kind of operations..."

may b u didnt notice this post!!!

I was tokin of da same binary thing......

Philip Calvert ·

though i still am not convinced that the function will be constant b/w the integral values....

but anyways if it is then what else has to be done bhaiyya

can't we write

y = [x] + [log2( [x]!)] [7]

hehe lots of [.]..[4]

62
Lokesh Verma ·

oops sorry tapan... din notice...

106
Asish Mahapatra ·

bhaiyya which formula were u talking abt of mine that didnt work in above posts?

11
Mani Pal Singh ·

tapan bhai main yeh nahin keh raha ki graph aage nahin hai
maine to eg diya tha
actually its quite complex to cover the whole story

62
Lokesh Verma ·

but this [x] stands fro greatest integer function!

11
Mani Pal Singh ·

[x] = x - {x}

so this becomes x + x/2 .... - ({x} + {x/2} ........)
x ( 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ........... 1/2n) = 2x ( using geometric mean )
and so far as fractional part of x concerns it will always lie between 0 to 1
so rough idea of the graph is
it is 0 from 0 to 1
and should be discontinuous as well as straight line
further help needed???

[11] tapan is rite

21
tapanmast Vora ·

jus a lil addtn : da formula i was tellin starts wid [x/2] baki sab same hein

62
Lokesh Verma ·

take x=1990

what will the values be?

11
Mani Pal Singh ·

sir what do u think about my post

21
tapanmast Vora ·

wud it not be 1990 + exponent of 2 in 1990!
