1) If $$z = \frac{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\}^2 - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\}^2 }{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\} - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\} }$$ find $\lfloor z \rfloor$.

2) Find all $x$ for which $$\left| x - \left| x-1 \right| \right| = \lfloor x \rfloor.$$ Express your answer in interval notation.

3) Which positive real number $x$ has the property that $x$, $\lfloor x \rfloor$, and $x - \lfloor x\rfloor$ form a geometric progression (in that order)? (Recall that $\lfloor x\rfloor$ means the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$.)

4) Let $$N = \sum_{k = 1}^{1000}k(\lceil \log_{\sqrt {2}}k\rceil - \lfloor \log_{\sqrt {2}}k \rfloor).$$ Find $N$.

5) Let $f(x)$ be the function whose domain is all positive real numbers defined by the formula $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{\sqrt{2x+5}-\sqrt{x+7}}{x-2} & x \neq 2\\ k & x = 2 \end{cases}$$If $f(x)$ is continuous, what is the value of $k$?

6) Prove that $\lfloor 2x \rfloor + \lfloor 2y \rfloor \geq \lfloor x \rfloor + \lfloor y \rfloor + \lfloor x+y \rfloor$ for all real $x$ and $y$.

Hmm. If I use LaTeX here in the answer some of it displays properly in the question.  If I delete the LaTeX here the question looks a mess again!!

So:  Use the LaTeX button and copy and paste your questions into the resulting box, having removed the \$ signs. e.g.

If $$z = \frac{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\}^2 - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\}^2 }{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\} - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\} }$$ find $$\lfloor z \rfloor$$

1.) If, $$z = \frac{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\}^2 - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\}^2 }{ \left\{ \sqrt{3} \right\} - 2 \left\{ \sqrt{2} \right\} }$$, find $$\lfloor z \rfloor$$.

The fact that $$\lfloor \sqrt{2} \rfloor = \lfloor \sqrt{3} \rfloor = 1$$, should help. Rewrite the roots in brackets with $$\{\sqrt{2}\} = \sqrt{2} - 1$$ and $$\{\sqrt{3}\} = \sqrt{3} - 1$$
