Consider the graph of each function and decide if it is continuous
\n" ); document.write( "y=[x]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

I think you mean the \"floor\" function where y is the SMALLEST\r\n" );
document.write( "integer that does not exceed x.  It's a \"stair-step\" function.  \r\n" );
document.write( "Examples:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "[π] = [3] = [√10] = [3.001] = [3.999] = 3\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "[-π] = [-4] = [-√10] = [-3.999] = [-3.001] = -4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "but [-3] = -3 and [-4] = -4\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As you see it is not at all continuous.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
