Question:

Math Equation Term, Floor?

i don't understand what to do if a formula has the word floor in it. What do I put there?

Answer:

def. of floor. For a real number r, its floor value [r] is defined as the largest integer no greater than r. Thus [5]=[5.1]=5 and [-5]=-5 while [-5.1]=-6.
By definition, the floor (also known as the greatest integer function) is essentially the same as rounding down to the nearest integer. floor(5.5) = 5 floor(&pi) = 3 And for negative numbers, floor(-1.5) = -2 floor(-4.00001) = -5 The floor of a whole number is itself. floor(10) = 10 floor(383) = 383
The term floor usually means the same thing as minimum. If it makes sense in the context of what you are doing.
The floor function of a real number x, denoted floor(x), is a function that returns the largest integer less than or equal to x. Formally, for all real numbers x,
what's the formula? we need more context.
