1984 AIME Problem 12

A function f is defined for all real numbers and satisfies f(2+x)=f(2-x) and f(7+x)=f(7-x) for all x. If x=0 is a root for f(x)=0, what is the least number of roots f(x)=0 must have in the interval -1000\leq x \leq 1000?

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
