$[x]$ is an integer; solving $[x]^2-5[x]+6=0$ gives $[x]=2$ or $[x]=3$ , so $x\in[2,3)\cup[3,4)=[2,4)$ — option (D).

The greatest integer function $[x]$ returns the largest integer not exceeding $x$ , so $[x]$ is always an integer. Let $[x]=n$ with $n\in\mathbb{Z}$ .

Step 1 — Solve the quadratic in $n$ .

$n^2-5n+6=0\ \Rightarrow\ (n-2)(n-3)=0\ \Rightarrow\ n=2\ \text{or}\ n=3$ …
