1. ** (Definition 3.1.17) The floor function, denoted [x] is defined [x] : R→
Z by returning the greatest integer less then or equal to x.
i.e
[4.2]
=
[-4.2]=-5 [-4]
=
"
"
[0.45] = 0
[-0.6] = -1 |2|
"
"
We say that the floor function "rounds x down".
(a) Prove that the floor function is NOT injective.
(b) Prove that the floor function is surjective.
= 2
