1. Let $f(x)=\left\lfloor\left(-\frac58\right)^x\right\rfloor$ be a function that is defined for all values of $x$ in $[0,\infty)$ such that $f(x)$ is a real number. How many distinct values exist in the range of $f(x)$?

2. The integers $G$ and $H$ are chosen such that $\frac{G}{x+5}+\frac{H}{x^2-4x}=\frac{x^2-2x+10}{x^3+x^2-20x}$ for all real values of $x$ except $-5$, $0$, and $4$. Find $H/G$.

3. Let \[f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cl} 2x + 7 & \text{if } x < -2, \\ -x^2 - x + 1 & \text{if } x \ge -2. \end{array} \right.\]Find the sum of all values of $x$ such that $f(x) = -5.$

1. There are 14 distinct values in the range of f(x).

 

2. H/G = 7/5.

 

3. The sum of all values of x such that f(x) = -5 is 29.
