Zeros of Two Floor-Fraction Functions

Problem

Let [x][x] and {x}\{x\} denote the integer and fractional parts of xx.

1. Find the number of zeros of f(x)=sin⁡2[x]+sin⁡2{x}−1f(x)=\sin^2[x]+\sin^2\{x\}-1 on [0,100][0,100]. 2. Find the number of zeros of g(x)=[x]⋅{x}−13x−1g(x)=[x]\cdot\{x\}-\dfrac 13x-1 on [0,100][0,100].
