Find all functions such that for all real
and
a) ;
b*) .
Solution
Set in then
If for some then (1) implies , hence, in view of
(*), since . On the other hand, (*) gives
so , i.e. . Therefore, is only zero of .
so , i.e. . Therefore, is only zero of .
Further, from (1) it follows that is surjective thus there exist an such
that . Set in (*), then
