For the function \(f(x)=\lfloor x+0.5\rfloor\), what is the value of \(f(2.6)\)?

Correct answer: 3

First evaluate the expression inside the floor function: \(2.6+0.5=3.1\). The greatest-integer function \(\lfloor y\rfloor\) gives the greatest integer less than or equal to \(y\), so \(\lfloor3.1\rfloor=3\). Option B incorrectly takes the integer part of \(2.6\) without adding \(0.5\). Exam tip: evaluate the quantity inside the floor symbol before applying the function.
