t is the fractional part of a, and  a^2 +t^2 =18. find t=?
$${t}\:{is}\:{the}\:{fractional}\:{part}\:{of}\:{a},\:{and} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{18}.\:{find}\:{t}=? \\ $$

∀r∈R: fpart (r) =r−ipart (r)  fpart (π) =π−3=.14...  fpart (−π)=−π−(−3)=3−π=−.14...    a^2 =18−t^2  ⇒ ∣a∣≤(√(18))  a=z+t∧∣z∣∈{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}  (z+t)^2 +t^2 =18  t=−(z/2)±((√(36−z^2 ))/2)  [sign t =sign z ∧∣t∣<1]  ⇒ z_1 =−4∧t=2−(√5)∧a=−2−(√5)        z_2 =4∧t=−2+(√5)∧a=2+(√5)  t=±((√5)−2)

I don′t think the fractional part of (for  example) −2.37 is 0.63 because also the  integer part of x is not the same as ⌊x⌋.  maybe you learned a different definitions  than I did...

I believe I made a mistake.    I′ll try again.
