Let [t] denotes the greatest less than or equal to t. Let f : [0, ∞) → R be a function defined by . Let S be the set of all points in the interval [0, 8] at which f is not continuous. Then is equal to .

Answer: 17

Solution

[x/2 + 3] jumps at x = 2, 4, 6, 8 and [√x] jumps at x = 1, 4. At x = 4 the two jumps cancel, so S = {1, 2, 6, 8} and the sum is 17.
