AMC 12 2014a Problem 21

  • Paper

For every real number xx, let ⌊x⌋\lfloor x\rfloor denote the greatest integer not exceeding xx, and let f(x)=⌊x⌋(2014x−⌊x⌋−1).f(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor(2014^{x-\lfloor x\rfloor}-1). The set of all numbers xx such that 1≤x<20141\leq x<2014 and f(x)≤1f(x)\leq 1 is a union of disjoint intervals. What is the sum of the lengths of those intervals?
