Let n≥2 be a given integer. We aim to find all functions f:R→R such that
f(x−f(y))=f(x+yn)+f(f(y)+yn),∀x,y∈R.
The solutions to this functional equation are:
1. f(x)=0 for all x∈R.
2. f(x)=−xn for all x∈R.
To verify, we check both functions:
1. For f(x)=0:
f(x−f(y))=f(x−0)=0,
f(x+yn)+f(f(y)+yn)=0+0=0,
which satisfies the given equation.
2. For f(x)=−xn:
f(x−f(y))=f(x+yn)=−(x+yn)n,
f(x+yn)+f(f(y)+yn)=−(x+yn)n+(−(−yn+yn)n)=−(x+yn)n,
which also satisfies the given equation.
Thus, the only solutions are f(x)=0 and f(x)=−xn.
The answer is: f(x) = 0 or } f(x) = -x^n}.
