Ceiling = "{" & "}"
Floor = "[" & "]"

f(X) = [ 1/2 - {x/3}]


How would I graph this function?

Note: If the decimal is floors it will be rounded down , if the decimal is ceiling it will be rounded up.

~Thanks.

When x = 0, y = 0. Trivial to verify.
Look at 0 < x \leq 3 Why did I pick 3?
Then look at 3<x\leq 6

Just keep observing what is occurring during the intervals.
 
Okay, thanks alot, I really appreciate it.
 
Would the first domain be ceiling or floors?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
