Analyzing the graphs of Greatest Integer Functions

[QUOTE="opus, post: 6014837, member: 638576"] Yes we are talking about the same function. My text has the it denoted as something similar to but not exactly like [[x]]. But I looked up on Wikipedia the "floor function" that you stated and we're talking about the same thing. That was a great explanation, thank you. Let me see if I understand: The length is 4 because if we were to create a table of values (leaving the leading coefficient of 2 out for simplicity's sake), it would take 4 integer x inputs for the line segment to be complete and move up or down to the next segment? For example, with an input of x = -8 gives an output of 2, and inputs x = -7, -6, -5, -4 all give an output of 1. Then when x = -3, the output is zero so there's a new line segment vertically shifted. For the vertical displacement: the greatest integer function output is always an integer. So when we take the output of the function's argument, and multiply it by 2, we are vertically shifting by that value 2. [/QUOTE]
