If f is a function defined on ( 0 , 1 ) by f ( x ) = min { x - [ x ] , - x - [ x ] } , then ( f o f o f o f…

If f is a function defined on (0,1) by f(x)=min{x-[x],-x-[x]}, then (fofofof)(x) is equal to ([.] greatest integer function)
  1. x
  2. x
  3. 4x
  4. 2x

Solution

Given that, f is defined on 0, 1 by f(x)=min{x-[x],-x-[x]}

We know that Greatest Integer Function is a function that gives the greatest integer less than or equal to the number.

If x0, 1, then x=0

Also, for x0, 1, since x is positive, we have x>-x

f(x)=x

Now, (fofofof)(x)=(fofof)f(x)

=(fofof)(x)

=(fof)f(x)

=(fof)(x)

=f(f(x))=x

Hence, (fofofof)(x)=x.
