if f(x)=cos [π]x+cos[πx] where [y] is the greatest integer function of y then f(π/2)=? Explain with steps please
f(x)=cos[pi]x+cos[pix] f(pi/2)=cos[pi]pi/2+cos[pi*pi/2] =cos[3.14]pi/2+cos[3.14*3.14/2] Since, pi=3.14 its integral part is 3. and [3.14]=3 (greatest integer function) f(pi/2)= cos3pi/2+cos[4.93] But,[4.93]=4 (greatest integer function). So, answer=cos(3pi/2)+cos4 but, cos(3pi/2)=0 Therefore,answer=cos4 |
