The inflation rate of a country follows a certain trend given by I=IX+IX−1+IX−2 where [IX]=0,[IX−1]=1 and [IX−2]=2, [ ] represents greatest integer function. Find the range of the inflation rate.
[3, 6)
[IX]=0⇒0≤IX<1 ----- (i)
[IX−1]=1⇒1≤IX−1<2 ----(ii)
[IX−2]=2⇒2≤IX−2<3 ----(iii)
Adding (i), (ii) & (iii), we get,
3≤[IX]+[IX−1]+[IX−2]<6
3≤I<6≤Iϵ[3,6).
