Problem
Given the collection of 
positive real numbers 
and the function:
![\[f(x) = \frac{a_1}{x+a_1}+\frac{a_2}{x+a_2}+\cdots +\frac{a_n}{x+a_n}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/d/b/bdb3b28e005214b8b860c79ba8f7995604c9b6d3.png)
Determine the sum of the lengths of the intervals, disjoint two by two, formed by all 
.
