Maths · The composition of functions

If and are defined by =\boldsymbol{x}-[\boldsymbol{x}] \) and =[\boldsymbol{x}]

If \( \boldsymbol{f}: \boldsymbol{R} \rightarrow \boldsymbol{R} \) and \( \boldsymbol{g}: \boldsymbol{R} \rightarrow \boldsymbol{R} \) are defined by \( \boldsymbol{f}(\boldsymbol{x})=\boldsymbol{x}-[\boldsymbol{x}] \) and \( \boldsymbol{g}(\boldsymbol{x})=[\boldsymbol{x}] \) for \( \boldsymbol{x} \in \boldsymbol{R}, \) where \( [\boldsymbol{x}] \) is the greatest integer not exceeding \( x, \) then for every \( x \in \) \( \boldsymbol{R}, \boldsymbol{f}(\boldsymbol{g}(\boldsymbol{x}))= \)

  • A. \( x \)
  • B. 0
  • C. \( f(x) \)
  • D. \( g(x) \)

Step-by-step solution

Given f(x) = x - [x] and g(x) = [x], then f(g(x)) = f([x]) = [x] - [[x]] = [x] - [x] = 0.
