We have
⟹ x + ⌊ 2 x ⌋ = 3 . 1 4 ⌊ 2 x ⌋ = 3 . 1 4 − x
Note that the LHS of the above equation is an integer, therefore RHS must be an integer too. Thus we conclude that { x } = 0 . 1 4 and we can write x = n + 0 . 1 4 , where n is an integer. Now we have
⟹ ⟹ ⟹ ⌊ 2 n + 0 . 2 8 ⌋ = 3 − n 2 n + ⌊ 0 . 2 8 ⌋ = 3 − n 2 n = 3 − n n = 1
Thus we get x = 1 + 0 . 1 4 = 1 . 1 4 and so ⌊ 1 0 0 0 x 2 ⌋ = ⌊ 1 0 0 0 × 1 . 2 9 9 6 ⌋ = 1 2 9 9 .
