  1. [7] Let f ( x ) = x + x + x + x + · · · , for all real x such that the sum converges. For how many real numbers x does f ( x ) = x ?
解析
  1. Let f ( x ) = x + x + x + x + · · · , for all real x such that the sum converges. For how many real numbers x does f ( x ) = x ? Solution: 2 2 2 2 Clearly x = 0 works. Otherwise, we want x = x / (1 − x ), or x + x − 1 = 0. Discard √ the negative root (since the sum doesn’t converge there), but ( − 1 + 5) / 2 works, for a total of 2 values.
