What is f(0.999)+f(1.001) equal to?

Direction: Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow : Let f(x)=[x]^{2}-[x^{2}].

  1. A. -1
  2. B. 0
  3. C. 1
  4. D. 2

Correct Answer: B. 0

Explanation

For x=0.999, [0.999]=0 and [0.999^2]=[0.998001]=0, so f(0.999) = 0^2 - 0 = 0. For x=1.001, [1.001]=1 and [1.001^2]=[1.002001]=1, so f(1.001) = 1^2 - 1 = 0. The sum is 0+0=0.
