  • General

Define the function f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} by

f(x)={1x2+x4+2x if x∉(−23,0]0 otherwise f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{1}{x^{2}+\sqrt{x^{4}+2 x}} & \text { if } x \notin(-\sqrt[3]{2}, 0] \\ 0 & \text { otherwise }\end{cases}

The sum of all real numbers xx for which f10(x)=1f^{10}(x)=1 can be written as a+bcd\frac{a+b \sqrt{c}}{d}, where a,b,c,da, b, c, d are integers, dd is positive, cc is square-free, and gcd⁡(a,b,d)=1\operatorname{gcd}(a, b, d)=1. Find 1000a+100b+10c+d1000 a+100 b+10 c+d. (Here, fn(x)f^{n}(x) is the function f(x)f(x) iterated nn times. For example, f3(x)=f(f(f(x)))f^{3}(x)=f(f(f(x))).)
