is it then 29 ?

as Î /2 is an integer for all multiples of 7 and there are 29 multiples of 7 in [-100,100] ?

127 ? :P

No varun :)
not again :P

can u guys give more logic to weigh ur answers so that we can then find some flaws.?

[y] = sin[x] ε [-100,100]

[y] can have values -1,0,1.

[y] = -1 => y [-1,0)
[y] = 0 => y [ 0,1)
[y] = 1 => y [ 1,2)

Now x ε [100,100] in terms of rad ..

therefore x ε [-5727,5727] in terms of degrees.

[y] can have those values only when [x] is a multiple of 90..

therefore the number of multiples of 90 in [-5727,5727] is 127.

x can also vary ~ 1 unit. therefore the area is 127 * 1 * 1 = 127 ..

Lol that's what I did ...

varun ur guess was very good..

tell me one point (x,y) where

[y]=-1 and it satisfies the above equation [y]=sin[x]

:P
for all the values that u have found

(-Î /2 , -1) ..

or is it that -Î /2 is not an integer so [x] can't be -Î /2 ?

Lokesh Verma ·

yes exactly varun :).. u got my point!

Abhishek Priyam ·

No area is 48 for x=[0,100]??

62
Lokesh Verma ·

lol.. no dude.. not yet :)

may be u could try to draw graph :)

btw the right answer has already been written on this page

Is the answer 1 ?

At [x] = 0 ?

62
Lokesh Verma ·

yes good work :)

lol.........

what i was trying was just other's mistake of yesterday.....y=[sin[x]]

Actually i thought the same question can't be today also...

So i thought y=[sin[x]]... Next time will read questions carefully.....

but solvingy=[sin[x]] was a gr8 fun and its answer came 98....
too lengthy.....for that interval....[-100,100]

[3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3][3]

lol... no worries :)

i only hope that u guys are really benefiting from this section :)

Abhishek Priyam ·

But that 98 took so much counting......Oh dear where sin[x] is negative was so tedious but this section is very very useful.....

The best section...

The Solution:
The LHS is [y] so LHS is always an Integer!
RHS takes values sin[x] between x=-100,100, ..

[x] can take values -100,-99, -98..... 0,1,2,..........99

sin[x] can take values sin(-100) , sin(-99), sin(-98)........ sin(0), sin(1).... sin(99)

of these, only sin (0) is an integer!
so for all values of x other than those for which [x]=0 we have no solution at all!!!

Now we have a block of square from (0,0) to (1,1) as the solution...

For the whole detail of the question visit day before yesterday's question of the day!

13 th nov question........

:?

skygirl ·

is the ans 200??

1
vibhav roy ·

we know that the maxm value of sine is 1 which is at 90 and which can be the only possible value of y except zero. so the area must be 2
am i right nishant?

Abhishek Priyam ·

Variety of answers !!

62
Lokesh Verma ·

No.. i dont see any of these as the answers :)

Give me some more values(or methods) :)

33
Abhishek Priyam ·

Ok i think the answer is: :)

62
Lokesh Verma ·

This is an extreme googly...

Lets see how many of u crack it..

if you really understood the "question of the day" yesterday.. this should be much easier! :)

Lol.. priyam.. i still want to know what ":)" means :D

Abhishek Priyam ·

Ok i think the answer is : skygirl/vibhav

varun ·

Is it 3 ?

at x = -90, x = 0 and x = 90 ?

Rohan Ghosh ·

is the answer 1?

62
Lokesh Verma ·

No varun and priyam.. neither..

tell me ur methods... in a bit more detail.!

Abhishek Priyam ·

damn..... ok let me try first.....
