To determine which function will return a value of 8, let's analyze each function separately:
A: ROUNDUP(8.4999, 0)
- The ROUNDUP function rounds a number up to a specified number of decimal places.
- In this case, the number 8.4999 is already an integer, so rounding it up will not change its value.
- Therefore, the result of ROUNDUP(8.4999, 0) will be 8.
B: ROUNDDOWN(8.4999, 0)
- The ROUNDDOWN function rounds a number down to a specified number of decimal places.
- In this case, the number 8.4999 is already an integer, so rounding it down will not change its value.
- Therefore, the result of ROUNDDOWN(8.4999, 0) will be 8.
C: ROUND(8.4999, 0)
- The ROUND function rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places.
- In this case, the number 8.4999 is already an integer, so rounding it to 0 decimal places will not change its value.
- Therefore, the result of ROUND(8.4999, 0) will be 8.
D: Only B and C
- Based on the analysis above, both ROUNDDOWN(8.4999, 0) and ROUND(8.4999, 0) will return a value of 8.
- Therefore, the correct answer is D, which states that only options B and C will return a value of 8.
