Let denote the greatest integer less than or equal to . Then the value of the integral is equal to
- (A)
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
Both integrand pieces have period , so the integral over , a span of unit intervals, is times the per-period behaviour, treated piece by piece. For , on a unit interval where is positive the floor is and where it is negative the floor is ; the sine is negative on exactly half of the intervals, namely the of the form , so . For , within each period is non-negative on half the period, where the floor is and the integrand is , and negative on the other half, where the floor is and the integrand is ; one period thus contributes , and periods give . Adding the two parts, the cancels the and leaves .
