Try These!

1. In mathematics, {𝑎} means the decimals part of 𝑎, ⌊𝑎⌋ means the integral part of 𝑎.
For examples,
{0.3} = 0.3
⌊0.3⌋ = 0
{4.5} = 0.5
⌊4.5⌋ = 4

There is a new operation defined as below:


𝑥+2
𝑓(𝑥) =
2𝑥 + 1

Evaluate the following expressions:


# #
{𝑓 M N} , O𝑓 M NP, {𝑓(1)} , ⌊𝑓(1)⌋ .

2. A special calculator is such that there are only 2 buttons. If the red button is pressed,
the input number is multiplied by 2. If the yellow button is pressed, the ones digit is
discarded. Taking an initial input of 234 as an example:

Pressing the red button changes 234 𝑡𝑜 468 → 234 × 2 = 468


Then, pressing the yellow button removes the 8 → 468 becomes 46

If the first number to be used is “8”, design a strategy to obtain “17”.
