(I am pretty sure this is an AMC or AIME problem, but I can't find the original source.)

Consider the following function, defined for x∈[0,1):x\in [0, 1): f(x)=2x(0≤x<1/2)f(x) = 2x (0 \le x \lt 1/2) f(x)=2x–1(1/2≤x<1)f(x) = 2x – 1 (1/2 \le x \lt 1) For how many values of xx does f5(x)=xf^5(x) = x?

(As a bonus, can you find all of the values xx such that f5(x)=xf^5(x) = x?)
