Solve ⌈x^2 ⌉=(⌊x⌋)^2 +2x
$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\lceil{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \rceil=\left(\lfloor{x}\rfloor\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x} \\ $$

I got only 0 and .5 but my book  says ((n+1)/2) and 0
$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{got}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{and}\:.\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{my}\:\mathrm{book} \\ $$$$\mathrm{says}\:\frac{{n}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$

your book is wrong. you can check  with n=1⇒x=1⇒1^2 =1^2 +2 !!!
$$\mathrm{your}\:\mathrm{book}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{wrong}.\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{check} \\ $$$$\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\:!!! \\ $$

2x=⌈x^2 ⌉−(⌊x⌋)^2 =integer  ⇒x=integer or integer+0.5  let x=n+f with f=0 or 0.5  (1) f=0  x=n  n^2 =n^2 +2n  ⇒n=0  ⇒x=0  (2) f=0.5  x=n+0.5  x^2 =n^2 +n+0.25  ⌈x^2 ⌉=n^2 +n+1  ⌊x⌋=n  2x=2n+1  n^2 +n+1=n^2 +2n+1  n=0  ⇒x=0.5
$$\mathrm{2x}=\lceil{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \rceil−\left(\lfloor{x}\rfloor\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{integer} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{integer}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{integer}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{f}\:\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{n} \\ $$$$\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2n} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25} \\ $$$$\lceil\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \rceil=\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\lfloor\mathrm{x}\rfloor=\mathrm{n} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2x}=\mathrm{2n}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2n}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$
