hi all,
request if any one can give an easier solution to understand the below probelm
The function g(x) is defined for integers x such that if x is even, g(x) = x/2 and if x is odd, g(x) = x + 5. Given that g(g(g(g(g(x))))) = 19, how many possible values for x would satisfy this equation?
choices:
A) 1
B) 5
C) 7
D) 8
E) 11
