How's that FE?
Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which satisfies
$f(x^{2}-y^{2})=xf(x)-yf(y)$.
$f(x^{2}-y^{2})=xf(x)-yf(y)$.

Re: How's that FE?
Nice problem.For the last part I used a technique which I learned form Bappa vai.

Re: How's that FE?
Alright. But I hope additionally I can post another problem under this very topic.
Find all functions $f:\mathbb{Q}\rightarrow \mathbb{Q}$ such that $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+xy$.
And that was a nice solution Tahmid vai.

I am posting what I have done yet for the second problem under this topic.

Re: How's that FE?
(I'm using your notations)SANZEED wrote:$f(z)=\frac{z(z-1)}{2}+zf(1)\forall z\in \mathbb{Z}$.
Now the flaw in my approach is,I don't know how to,and whether it can be,extended to $\mathbb{Q}$.
Firstly take $P(1,m+1/x),m,x\in\mathbb {N}$ and use induction to find the value of $f(m+1/x)$.Next take $P(x,\displaystyle \frac {1}{x}), x\in \mathbb {N}$.Then we'll get the value of $f(\frac {1}{x})$.Now again use induction and take $P(n/x,1/x), n\in \mathbb {N}$ to finish the problem.

$f(1+1/x)=f(1)+f(1/x)+1/x$SANZEED wrote:Adib,can you please do a little favour to me by explaining the first induction here to use?
$f(1+(1+1/x))=f(1)+f(1+1/x)+1+1/x=2f(1)+f(1/x)+1+2/x$
I hope it's clear enough now.

Re: How's that FE?
Can anyone tell me how to get the value of $f(1/x)$ from here?(I'm using your notations)
