Correct answer: A
- Use the functional equation
Given
\quad \text{for all } x,y\in[0,1],$$ and also $f(0)\neq 0$. We will first determine $f$. 2. **Find $f(0)$** Put $x=0$ in the relation: $$f(0\cdot y)=f(0)f(y).$$ Since $0\cdot y=0$, this gives $$f(0)=f(0)f(y).$$ Because $f(0)\neq 0$, we can divide by $f(0)$ to get $$f(y)=1 \quad \text{for all } y\in[0,1].$$ Hence, $$f(x)\equiv 1.$$ 3. **Solve the differential equation** We are given $$\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x)=1,$$ with initial condition $$y(0)=1.$$ Integrating, $$y=x+C.$$ Using $y(0)=1$: $$1=0+C \implies C=1.$$ So, $$y(x)=x+1.$$ 4. **Compute the required value** $$y\left(\frac14\right)=1+\frac14=\frac54,$$ $$y\left(\frac34\right)=1+\frac34=\frac74.$$ Therefore, $$y\left(\frac14\right)+y\left(\frac34\right)=\frac54+\frac74=\frac{12}{4}=3.$$ 5. **Check options** The correct option is: - **A: 3** 6. **Compare with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **A** This matches our derived answer.More from Differential Equations
