Integration of greatest integer function [closed]
$begingroup$
Let $[x]$ denote the greatest integer function, then evaluate
$$int_{-100}^{100}[x^3]dx$$
I have no idea how to go about it, can someone help me out

Hint: If $ninmathbb Z$, then$$int_{sqrt[3]n}^{sqrt[3]{n+1}}lfloor x^3rfloor,mathrm dx=int_{sqrt[3]n}^{sqrt[3]{n+1}}n,mathrm dx=ntimesleft(sqrt[3]{n+1}-sqrt[3]nright).$$

$begingroup$
Are you saying that between -2 to -1 the function will just be -2 and so on???

Well… yes, I am! (Well, not quite. It will be $-8$ there.)

I’m sorry I don’t get how it will be -8, can you elaborate please

There was an error in my answer and I've edited it. What do you think now?

Yup definitely makes sense now, your previous answer i think would be correct if the power was 1.
