Correct answer: A, B, D
Step 1: Determine the function f(x)
- The given functional equation is
f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) + f(x)f(y)for all . - We can rewrite this equation by adding 1 to both sides:
- Let's define a new function
h(x) = 1 + f(x). Substituting this into the equation, we get: - This is a standard functional equation. If
his a continuous function, its solutions are of the form for some constanta > 0, orh(x) = 0for allx.- If
h(x) = 0, thenf(x) = -1. In this case,g(x) = f(x)/x = -1/x. The limit does not exist, which contradicts the given condition. So,h(x)cannot be identically zero. - Thus, we must have for some
a > 0.
- If
- This implies , so .
- We are given
f(x) = xg(x)and . From this, we can find the value ofa: - We know the standard limit .
- Therefore, , which means
a = e. - So, the function is .
Step 2: Evaluate each statement
A: f is differentiable at every x ∈ R
- We found .
- The derivative is .
- The function is defined and finite for all .
- Therefore,
f(x)is differentiable at every . - Statement A is TRUE.
D: The derivative f'(0) is equal to 1
- We have .
- At
x = 0, the derivative is . - Statement D is TRUE.
C: The derivative f'(1) is equal to 1
- We have .
- At
x = 1, the derivative is . - Since , .
- Statement C is FALSE.
B: If g(0) = 1, then g is differentiable at every x ∈ R
- From
f(x) = xg(x), we have for . - Given
g(0) = 1, the functiong(x)is defined as: - Note that , so
g(x)is continuous atx=0. - For , we find the derivative using the quotient rule: This exists for all .
- To check differentiability at
x = 0, we use the limit definition of the derivative: - This is an indeterminate form
0/0. We can apply L'Hopital's Rule: - This is still
0/0. Applying L'Hopital's Rule again: - Since
g'(0)exists (and is equal to1/2),g(x)is differentiable atx=0. - Since
g(x)is differentiable for all and also atx=0, it is differentiable at every . - Statement B is TRUE.
Conclusion
The true statements are A, B, and D.
