Q. The period of the function $f(x) = a^{\left\{ \tan(\pi x) + x - \lbrack x\rbrack \right\}}$, where $a > 0$,

denotes the greatest integer function and $x$ is a real number, is

A) $\pi$
B) $\frac{\pi}{2}$
C) $\frac{\pi}{4}$
D) 1
Explanation

(d)
$\because\ \ f(x) = a^{\left\{ \tan{(\pi x) + x - \lbrack x\rbrack} \right\}}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = a^{\left\{ \tan{(\pi x) + (x)} \right\}}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = a^{\tan{\pi x}}a^{\left\{ x \right\}}$
Hence, period of $f(x)$ is 1.
