            find the domain of following function-          


 


           


 


 


 


     where[.] = greatest integer function


 


         | |   = modulus....

when x>0 it is x-1+7-x-6=0 which not defined.


So x<0 and it is [-x+1]+[7+x]-6


    =[-x]+[1]+[7]+[x]-6


    =-[x]-1+1+7+[x]-6


    =1;so domain is (-infinity,0).

1) when 0<x<=1   , so, [-x]=-1


 


[1-x] + [7-x] - 6

= 1+ [-x] + 7 + [-x] -6

= 1-1+7-1-6

= 0

so no possible values in this interval



2) when  1<x<=7 


[x-1] + [7-x] - 6

= [x] -1 +7 [-x] -6

= [x] +[-x]

=0 when x is integer or = -1 when x is non integer

so no possible values in this interval



3) when x>7

[x-1] + [x-7] -6

= [x] -1 +[x] -7 -6

= 2[x] - 14 > 0

= [x] > 7

x>=8



4) when x<= 0

[1-x] + [7-x] -6

= 1+[-x] +7 + [-x] -6

= 2[-x] + 2 >0

[-x] >-1

x<= 0



so the ans is x belongs to (-infinity , 0 ] union [8, infinity )



hope u gt it .......

[/x-7/] + [/ x-1/ ]
for x>=7.....

=[ x-7]+[x-1]-6 which is >0.. since [x-1] >=6 and x>0.....
but for x=7 the function bcomes undefined ..
hence x>7 belonge to domain...

for 1 <=x<7

[/x-7/] + [/ x-1/ ] -6
=[7-x]+[x-1] -6 ..

now, we know [x]so [7-x]+[x-1] < 7-x+x-1 <6...

so [7-x]+[x-1] -6 <0 ... hence for 1<=x<7 the expression is undefined...

again , for 0< x<1 ..

[/7-x/]+[/x-1/] -6 ..=[7-x]+[1-x]-6<(7-x) +( 1-x ) -6<8-2x>0 since 0 also for x<0 its 8-2x-6>0..
so expression is real for -inf
hence DOMAIN= {-INF,1} UNION {7,INF}..........

little genius u r wrng
check by putting x= 7.3
it comes out to be zero
nd check by putting x =0.3
it again comes out zero (not possible)

hope u gt it ..........

hey all of u are wrong
the ans is R - [0,1) U {1,2,3,4,5,6} U [7,8).... (means these nos are excluded)

where R is the set of all real nos.

hey akshay i think i hv done it rght
no value bt 1 nd 7 is satisfying the equation
check urself

if sqrt is nt given then ur answer is rght only

hope u gt it

@ little genius
see when 7<=x<8
[x-1] = 6 and [x-7] = 0
so , [x-1] + [x-7] - 6 =0
not possible
so no possible values btw 7 and 8
hope u gt it nw

akshay, there's a slight mistake in your answer. u say that x cannot be 0, but putting x = 0, the denominator comes out to be \sqrt{2}

My solution:


Let us find the values of x for which the denominator is 0


So, we have



Now, both [|x-1|] and [|7-x|] must be non-negative integers.


Case 1:


Suppose, [|x-1|] = 6. The x which satisfy this equation are


Correspondingly, [|7-x|]=0 The x satisfying this eqn are


Their intersection is (i)


Case 2:


Suppose, [|x-1|] = 5. The x which satisfy this equation are


Correspondingly, [|7-x|]=1. The x which satisfy this equation are


Their intersection is


Similarly, continuing the cases, we will get (ii)


Now,


Consider [|x-1|] = 0. The x which satisfy this equation are


Correspondingly, [|7-x|]=6. The x which satisfy this eqn are


Their intersection is (iii)


Taking union of (i), (ii) and (iii), we get



which also shows symmetry and the ends of this range, as it should.


So, the domain would be

hey yaar why r u nt getting it
sqrt is given there
so, [ |x-1| ] + [ |7-x| ] - 6 > 0
and btw 1 to 6 at non integral values it becomes (-1)
which is nt possible

hey astatine is right i think coz the
value coming out of modulus in always positive
hence no need to put that condition that denominator should be positive
just we should apply that denominator should not be 0.

no actually ankur has a valid point. the denominator is . Even though [|x-1|] and [|7-x|] are always non-negative, if their sum is less than 6 then the quantity in the root will be less zero.
