- Answer
A piecewise linear function is defined by and for all real numbers . The graph of has the sawtooth pattern depicted below. [asy] import graph; size(300); Label f; f.p=fontsize(6); yaxis(-2,2,Ticks(f, 2.0)); xaxis(-6.5,6.5,Ticks(f, 2.0)); draw((0, 0)..(1/4,sqrt(1/136))..(1/2,sqrt(1/68))..(0.75,sqrt(0.75/34))..(1, sqrt(1/34))..(2, sqrt(2/34))..(3, sqrt(3/34))..(4, sqrt(4/34))..(5, sqrt(5/34))..(6, sqrt(6/34))..(7, sqrt(7/34))..(8, sqrt(8/34)), red); draw((0, 0)..(1/4,-sqrt(1/136))..(0.5,-sqrt(1/68))..(0.75,-sqrt(0.75/34))..(1, -sqrt(1/34))..(2, -sqrt(2/34))..(3, -sqrt(3/34))..(4, -sqrt(4/34))..(5, -sqrt(5/34))..(6, -sqrt(6/34))..(7, -sqrt(7/34))..(8, -sqrt(8/34)), red); draw((-7,0)--(7,0), black+0.8bp); draw((0,-2.2)--(0,2.2), black+0.8bp); draw((-6,-0.1)--(-6,0.1), black); draw((-4,-0.1)--(-4,0.1), black); draw((-2,-0.1)--(-2,0.1), black); draw((0,-0.1)--(0,0.1), black); draw((2,-0.1)--(2,0.1), black); draw((4,-0.1)--(4,0.1), black); draw((6,-0.1)--(6,0.1), black); draw((-7,1)..(-5,-1), blue); draw((-5,-1)--(-3,1), blue); draw((-3,1)--(-1,-1), blue); draw((-1,-1)--(1,1), blue); draw((1,1)--(3,-1), blue); draw((3,-1)--(5,1), blue); draw((5,1)--(7,-1), blue); [/asy] The parabola intersects the graph of at finitely many points. The sum of the -coordinates of all these intersection points can be expressed in the form , where , , , and are positive integers such that , , have greatest common divisor equal to , and is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find .
