For natural number $n$ we define \[ a_n = \{ \sqrt{n} \} - \{ \sqrt{n + 1} \} + \{ \sqrt{n + 2} \} - \{ \sqrt{n + 3} \}. \] a) Show that $a_1 > 0,2$. b) Show that $a_n < 0$ for infinity many values of $n$ and $a_n > 0$ for infinity values of natural numbers of $n$ as well. ( We denote by $\{ x \} $ the fractional part of $x.$)

Let ${a}$ be the fractional part of the number $a$, that is, $\{a\} = a - [a]$, where$ [a]$ is the integer part of $ a$. (For example, $\{1.7\} = 1.7 -1 = 0.7$,$\{-\sqrt2 \}= -\sqrt2 -(-3) = 3-\sqrt2$.) a) How many solutions does the equation have $$ \{5\{4\{3\{2\{x\}\}\}\}\}=1\,\, ?$$ b) Find its greatest solution.

How many solutions satisfying the condition $1 < x < 5$ does the equation $\{x[x]\} = 0.5$ have? (Here $[x]$ is the integer part of the number $x$, $\{x\} = x - [x]$ is the fractional part of the number $x$.)
