Well think about it.  First of all, you need to know how to write a rule for a function.  Now, I forgot how to write rules but I think it was something like "Add x" or something like that.  Now think about it.  from 5 to 13 is 8 and from 13 to 21 is 8 and from 21 to 29 is 8!  So the rule would be "Add 8"  Hope this helps for the future.
