Algebra Difficulty 5.3 AIME, harder Find the answer

Five, let f(x)f(x) be a function that satisfies the following conditions:
(1) If x>yx>y and f(x)+xwf(y)+yf(x)+x \geqslant w \geqslant f(y)+y, then there exists a real number z[y,x]z \in[y, x], such that f(z)=wzf(z)=w-z;
(2) The equation f(x)=0f(x)=0 has at least one solution, and among these solutions, there is one that is not greater than all the others;
(3) f(0)=1f(0)=1;
(4) f(1999)2000f(-1999) \leqslant 2000;
(5)
f(x)f(y)=f(xf(y)+yf(x)+xy). \begin{array}{l} f(x) f(y) \\ =f(x f(y)+y f(x)+x y) . \end{array}

Find the value of f(1999)f(-1999).

A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.

Solution

Let F(x)=f(x)+xF(x)=f(x)+x, then F(0)=1F(0)=1.
Let uu be the smallest root of f(x)=0f(x)=0, then F(u)=uF(u)=u.
If u0u0
For any real number xx, by (5) we have
0=f(x)f(u)=f(xf(u)+uf(x)+xu)=f(uf(x)+uu). \begin{aligned} 0 & =f(x) f(u)=f(x f(u)+u f(x)+x u) \\ & =f(u f(x)+u u) . \end{aligned}
uf(x)+xu\therefore u f(x)+x u is a root of f(x)=0f(x)=0.
u\because u is the smallest root of f(x)=0f(x)=0,
uf(x)+xuu. Thus, f(x)+x1, \begin{array}{l} \therefore u f(x)+x u \geqslant u . \\ \text { Thus, } f(x)+x \geqslant 1, \end{array}

i.e., f(x)1xf(x) \geqslant 1-x.
f(1999)2000. Also, f(1999)2000,f(1999)=2000. \begin{array}{l} \therefore f(-1999) \geqslant 2000 . \\ \text { Also, } \because f(-1999) \leqslant 2000, \\ \therefore f(-1999)=2000 . \end{array}
