| Question 1034584:  The function f(x) is defined for 1 <= x <= 5 as follows:
 f(x) =
 2x + 1 if 1 <= x <= 2,
 7 - x & if 2 < x <= 3,
 10 - 2x if 3 < x <= 4,
 10 - x if 4 < x <= 5.
 Find all real numbers x such that f(x) = x.
 If you find more than one answer, list them all, separated by commas.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The function f(x) is defined for 1 <= x <= 5 as follows: f(x) =
 2x + 1 if 1 <= x <= 2,
 7 - x & if 2 < x <= 3,
 10 - 2x if 3 < x <= 4,
 10 - x if 4 < x <= 5.
 Find all real numbers x such that f(x) = x.
 If you find more than one answer, list them all, separated by commas.
 -----
 f(1) = 2*1+1 = 3
 f(2) = 2*2+1 = 5
 f(3) = 7-3 = 4
 f(4) = 10-2*4 = 2
 f(5) = 10-5 = 5
 ----------
 Ans: x = 5
