The graph of 
is symmetric about which of the following? (Here 
is the greatest integer not exceeding 
.)
the 
-axis 
the line 
the origin 
the point 
the point 
Solution 1
Since 
, 
is symmetric about the point
$\box{\textbf{(D) } } \text{the point} \left(\dfrac12, 0\right)$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
