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
