We note that for integer x : { For x = 0 : For x = 0 : sin x = 0 , 0 < ∣ sin x ∣ < 1 , cos x = 1 0 < ∣ cos x ∣ < 1
⟹ For x = 0 : { ⌊ x + sin x ⌋ = 0 ⌊ x 2 + cos x ⌋ = 1 ⟹ LHS = RHS.
⟹ For x = 0 : ⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ ⌊ x + sin x ⌋ = { x x − 1 if sin x > 0 if sin x < 0 ⌊ x 2 + cos x ⌋ = { x 2 x 2 − 1 if cos x > 0 if cos x < 0
Let's check the four cases:
Therefore, there is only 1 integer solution, when x = 1 .
