If \(f: R \rightarrow R\) and \(g: R \rightarrow R\) are defined by \(f(x)=|x|\) and \(g(x)=[x-3]\) for \(x \in R\), then \(\left\{g(f(x)):-\frac{8}{5} < x < \frac{8}{5}\right\}\) is equal to

  1. A \(\{0,1\}\)
  2. B \(\{1,2\}\)
  3. C \(\{-3,-2\}\)
  4. D \(\{2,3\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\{-3,-2\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \(f(x)=|x|\) and \(g(x)=[x-3]\) For \(\quad-\frac{8}{5} < x < \frac{8}{5}, 0 \leq f(x) < \frac{8}{5}\) Now, for \(\quad 0 \leq f(x) < 1\), \[ \begin{aligned} g(f(x)) & =[f(x)-3] \\ & =-3[\because-3 \leq f(x)-3 < -2] \end{aligned} \] Again, for \(1 \leq f(x) < 1.6\)…
