# Problem C. 1093. (October 2011)

C. 1093. The value of the function f(x) for a real number x is the smallest value out of x2-4x+3, x-1 and -x+7. Determine the number of solutions of the equation f(x)=c, depending on the real parameter c.

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. $\displaystyle x^4x+3=x-1$ akkor, ha $\displaystyle x=0$ vagy $\displaystyle x=4$, ugyanakkor $\displaystyle x^4x+3=-x+7$ akkor, ha $\displaystyle x=-1$ vagy $\displaystyle x=4$. Ekkor az $\displaystyle f(x)$ a következő: ha $\displaystyle x<1$, akkor $\displaystyle x-1$; ha $\displaystyle 1\le x<4$, akkor $\displaystyle x^2-4x+3$; ha $\displaystyle 4\le x$, akkor $\displaystyle -x+7$.
