This function rounds any number down to the nearest integer. Let's use the notation GIF[x]for this site to mean greatest integer function of x. Another name for it is the floor function. So here are some examples: GIF[.9]=0 GIF[1.9]=1 Gif[-1.8]=-2 Here is one trick GIF[1.99999 where 9 repeats forever]=2 (I can not put the bar over it, but usually it would be written as 1.9 with a bar over the 9) The reason is that 1.999999999 forever is =2 so GIF[2]=2
Both the Greatest Integer Function and the Absolute Value Function are considered Piece-Wise Defined Functions. This implies that the function was put together using parts from other functions.
Less than
Neither of the two are one-to-one
Inverse of a function exists only if it is a Bijection. Bijection=Injection(one to one)+surjection (onto) function.

The greatest integer function, often denoted as ⌊x⌋, gives the largest integer less than or equal to x. For 0.7, the greatest integer is 0, since 0 is the largest integer that is less than or equal to 0.7. Thus, ⌊0.7⌋ = 0.
No. It has a discontinuity at every integer value.
To identify the equation that matches the graph of the greatest integer function, look for the characteristic step-like pattern of the function, which takes on integer values and jumps at each integer. The greatest integer function is typically denoted as ( f(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor ), where ( \lfloor x \rfloor ) represents the greatest integer less than or equal to ( x ). If the graph shows horizontal segments at each integer value until the next integer, it confirms that it represents this function.
Yes, the greatest integer function, often denoted as ⌊x⌋, is many-to-one. This means that multiple input values can produce the same output. For example, both 2.3 and 2.9 yield an output of 2 when passed through the greatest integer function, as both round down to the greatest integer less than or equal to the input. Thus, it is not a one-to-one function.

yes
The greatest integer function, often denoted as (\lfloor x \rfloor), returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to the given value (x). For example, (\lfloor 3.7 \rfloor) equals 3, while (\lfloor -2.3 \rfloor) equals -3. This function effectively "rounds down" any non-integer value to the nearest whole number.
