Let's address the problem in a step-by-step format as per the guidelines:
**Part (1): Finding the value of f(0)**
Given f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) for all x,y∈R, let x=0 and y be any real number. We then have:
f(0+y)=f(0)+f(y)
Substituting 0+y with y, we get:
f(y)=f(0)+f(y)
By rearranging the equation, we find that for all y, f(0) must be equal to 0 to satisfy the equation. Hence,
f(0)=0
**Part (2): Determining the parity of f(x)**
To determine the parity of f(x), we need to prove whether f(−x)=−f(x) (odd function). Consider f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) with y=−x, we have:
f(x+(−x))=f(x)+f(−x)⇒f(0)=f(x)+f(−x)
Since we already know f(0)=0, substituting this into the equation yields:
0=f(x)+f(−x)⇒f(−x)=−f(x)
This proves that f(x) is an odd function, hence:
f(x) is an odd function
**Part (3): Finding the range of real number k**
Given the inequality f(kx2)−f(−2x−1)<4 for x∈[21,3], and knowing f(x) is odd, we can rewrite the inequality as f(kx2)+f(2x+1)<4. Given f(3)=6, we find:
f(1+2)=f(1)+f(2)=f(1)+f(1)+f(1)=3f(1)=6
Solving for f(1), we obtain:
f(1)=2
Subsequently, for f(2), knowing f(2)=f(1+1)=2f(1), we find:
f(2)=4
Given the condition f(kx2+2x+1)<f(2) for x∈[21,3], and knowing f(2)=4, we deduce:
kx2+2x+1<2
Rearranging gives us:
kx2+2x−1<0
To find the range of k, we analyze the quadratic expression in x, obtaining:
k<(x1)2−2(x1)
Let g(x)=(x1)2−2(x1)=(x1−1)2−1. Considering the interval 21≤x≤3, the minimum of g(x) occurs at x=1, thus g(1)=−1. Therefore, we conclude:
k∈(−∞,−1)
