The function repeats itself every “blocks of 3”, with one of the blocks being x = 1 to x = 4.
It’s like asking, find the 2017th derivative of e^x. There will be some form of pattern involved.

Here is an idea, since this function is recurring.

Ohhhh ok got it! Thank you!
① 2017 ÷ 3 = 672 R 1
672 x 3 = 2016
2017 - 2016 = 1
So you can jump backwards 672 times and still get the same value of f as f(2017)
② f(2017) = f(1) = 3
672 x 3 = 2016
2017 - 2016 = 1
So you can jump backwards 672 times and still get the same value of f as f(2017)
② f(2017) = f(1) = 3
On a side note, this is also useful for questions like :
Find f^2003(x)
Find f^2003(x)
The first time I saw this was either during my O Levels or A Levels, I forgot which one (yes, functions were in the O Level syllabus for A Maths back then) and it took me some moments during the exam to realise what f(x) = f(x + 4) meant. So I learnt this one the hard way.
Your O level syllabus was probably 2007 and before. I know that they took it out from 2008 onwards.
