Re: Nice and hard problem!
From the first equation if $y=f(n)^2-458$, then $f(y)=2y^2-2.458^2$
We can rewrite it as $f(y)-2y^2+2.458^2=0$. Suppose $g(y)=f(y)-2y^2+2.458^2$. So $g(y)$ is a polynomial and it has infinite zeros (obviously $f(n)^2-458$ can take infinite values). So $g(y)$ must be zero for all $y$. The rest is easy.

Re: Math
Dunno about the first question but if you want to learn directly from Asif E Elahi, I suggest that you start following him on fb. See his timeline and like all of his posts, share them etc etc. Then he might notice you. Also, Asif e Elahi likes eager students. Knock him on messenger/tg and ask for ...

Re: 2015 regional Secondary no. 6 function algebra
Suppose F(x)=ax+b , then F(F(x))=(a^2)x+ab+b if we compare 4x+3 with (a^2)x+ab+b $F(F(x))$ is not equal to $4x+3$. $F(F(x))=f(f(f(f(x))))$ from your definition of $F$. then we will get F(x)=2x+1 or F(x)=-2x-3 . Considering the next statement we can be sure that F(x)=2x+1 . How do you deduce that? A...

Re: Geometry Marathon : Season 3
Problem 10: Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle ABC$. The incircle touches $BC$ at $D$ and $K$ is the antipode of $D$ in $(I)$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AI$. Prove that $KM$ passes through the Feuerbach Point . We define some new points 1. $L$ is the midpoint of $BC$ 2. $N$ is the point where ...
