Detailed Solution

The function is defined for all real values of x except those which satisfy the equation[|x – 1|] + [|7 – x|] – 6 = 0 …………(1)Case I: (1 < x < 7)Equation (1) reduces to[x – 1] + [7 – x] – 6 = 0i.e., [x] – 1 + [– x] + 7 – 6 = 0 or [x] + [– x] = 0which is true ∀ x ∈ IThus, every integer in (1, 7) satisfies equation (1).Case II: (x ≤ 1)Equation (1) reduces to[1 – x] + [7 – x] – 6 = 0i.e., 1 + [– x] + 7 + [– x] – 6 = 0i.e., [– x] = – 1 i.e., – 1 ≤ – x < 0 or 0 < x ≤ 1Thus, equation (1) is satisfied ∀ 0 < x ≤ 1Case III: (x ≥ 7)Equation (1) reduces to[x – 1] + [x – 7] – 6 = 0i.e., [x] – 1 + [x] – 7 – 6 = 0 or [x] = 7∴ 7 ≤ x < 8Thus, equation (1) is satisfied ∀ 7 ≤ x < 8. The union of the intervals obtained in the above three cases gives the domain of definition asR – (0, 1] – [7, 8) – {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
