If $f(x)=3[x]+\{x+1\}$, where $[x]$ is greatest integer function of $x$ and $\{x\}$ is fractional part function of $x$, then $f(-1.32)=$
  1. -4.6
  2. -2.6
  3. -7.4
  4. -3.4

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=3[\mathrm{x}]+5\{\mathrm{x}+1\} \\ & \mathrm{x}=-1.32 \Rightarrow[\mathrm{x}]=[-1.32]=-2 \\ & \text { Also } \mathrm{x}+1=-1.32+1=-0.32 \\ & \therefore[\mathrm{x}+1]=[-0.32]=-1 \text { and }\{\mathrm{x}+1\}=0.68 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=3(-2)+5(0.68) \\ & =-6+3.4=-2.6 \end{aligned}$
