check the correctness of these questions

Q1. Let f(x+y) = f(x).f(y) for all x,y belongs to R and f(5) = 2 and f'(0) = 3. Then f'(5) = ?

Q2. Let f(x) be defined in R such that f(1) = 2 and f(2) = 8 and f(u+v) = f(u) + kuv - 2v2 for all u,v belongs to R and k is a fixed constant. Then f'(x) =

Q1
i thought it is cauchy's eqn
f(x)=ax
f(5)=2 => 2=a5 -----(1)

f'(x)=ax.loga
f'(0)=3
=> 3=1.loga

putting a from (1)

=> 3=1.log21/5 ----(2)

f'(5)=a5.loga=2.log21/5 ----(3)

confused in both (2) and (3)..plz point out mistake

Check this one

Q3. If a polynomial g(x) satisfies x.g(x+1) = (x-3).g(x) for all x and g(3) = 6, then the value of g(25) is _____

I think ans should be zero but it is given 13800

Yes in question 2

we get f(v)=f(0)-2v2

which does not satisfy f(1) and f(2) simultaneously

i am saying that question itself is wrong.. both the conditions given do not satisfy simultaneously

what fn are u getting for Q2 ??

Asish Mahapatra ·

anyone checking if Q2 is correct?

there is one more which ill post after this one's verified

Asish Mahapatra ·

thats y the thread title "check the correctness of the questions"

Asish Mahapatra ·

exactly .. the question is ill framed ... either one of the conditions can hold at a time

eure see if both of ur (2) and (1) hold at the same time

well lets put it this way..

The question is not well defined and the answer is indeterminate :D :P

so wat ans we will write is supossing this q comes in exam and we hav both 6 and 1

and btw r der any other values of f'(5) possible....

LOL.. NOTHING IS WRONG...

i guess the problem is that this is one of those 1000;s of functional equation questions which are ill framed...

The mistake is probably that they have given 2 conditions.. which may not hold together!

then wats wrong with this[2]

f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)

f'(x)= lim h→0 f(x+h)-f(x)h

=limh→0 f(x)f(h)-f(x) h

=f(x)(limh→0 f(h)-1h)

f'(x)=f(x)f'(0)

f'(x)=f(x).3

f'(5)=f(5).3

f'(5)=2.3=6

Let f(x+y) = f(x).f(y) for all x,y belongs to R and f(5) = 2 and f'(0) = 3. Then f'(5) = ?

f(x+h)-f(h) = f(h)[f(x)-1]

f(x+h)-f(x)f(h) = [f(x)-1]

take limit h going to zero ...

f'(x) = f(x)-1

Thus,
f'(5) = 1
