Consider two functions f ( x ) = 2 x + x 131 f(x)=2^x+x-131 , g ( x ) = 4 x + x + 130 g(x)=4^x+x+130 . Define h ( k ) h(k) as the number of real solution(s) of f 1 ( x ) g 1 ( x ) = k f^{-1}(x)-g^{-1}(x)=k where F 1 ( x ) F^{-1}(x) denotes the inverse function of F ( x ) F(x) . Denote s s as the sum of all k k values such that the function h ( k ) h(k) has discontinuity.

Find the value of s s .
