Correct answer: D

  1. Given functional equation

    orall x,y\in \mathbb R$$ We are also given that $f$ is differentiable and $f(x)>0$ for all $x$.
  2. Find f(0)f(0)f(0)

    Put x=0,y=0x=0, y=0x=0,y=0 in the functional equation:

    5f(0)=f(0)25f(0)=f(0)^25f(0)=f(0)2

    So,

    f(0)(f(0)−5)=0f(0)(f(0)-5)=0f(0)(f(0)−5)=0

    Since f(0)>0f(0)>0f(0)>0, we must have

    f(0)=5f(0)=5f(0)=5

  3. Reduce to an exponential form

    Define

    g(x)=f(x)5g(x)=\frac{f(x)}{5}g(x)=5f(x)​

    Then the given equation becomes

    5f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)5f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)5f(x+y)=f(x)f(y) 5⋅5g(x+y)=5g(x)⋅5g(y)5\cdot 5g(x+y)=5g(x)\cdot 5g(y)5⋅5g(x+y)=5g(x)⋅5g(y) 25g(x+y)=25g(x)g(y)25g(x+y)=25g(x)g(y)25g(x+y)=25g(x)g(y)

    Hence,

    g(x+y)=g(x)g(y)g(x+y)=g(x)g(y)g(x+y)=g(x)g(y)

    Also, since fff is differentiable, ggg is differentiable. A differentiable solution of

    g(x+y)=g(x)g(y),g(x)>0g(x+y)=g(x)g(y), \quad g(x)>0g(x+y)=g(x)g(y),g(x)>0

    must be of the form

    g(x)=axg(x)=a^xg(x)=ax

    for some a>0a>0a>0.

    Therefore,

    f(x)=5axf(x)=5a^xf(x)=5ax

  4. Use the value f(3)=320f(3)=320f(3)=320

    f(3)=5a3=320f(3)=5a^3=320f(3)=5a3=320

    So,

    a3=64a^3=64a3=64 a=4a=4a=4

    Thus,

    f(x)=5⋅4xf(x)=5\cdot 4^xf(x)=5⋅4x

  5. Compute the required sum

    We need

    ∑n=05f(n)=∑n=055⋅4n=5∑n=054n\sum_{n=0}^{5} f(n)=\sum_{n=0}^{5} 5\cdot 4^n=5\sum_{n=0}^{5}4^n∑n=05​f(n)=∑n=05​5⋅4n=5∑n=05​4n

    Now,

    ∑n=054n=1+4+16+64+256+1024=1365\sum_{n=0}^{5}4^n=1+4+16+64+256+1024=1365∑n=05​4n=1+4+16+64+256+1024=1365

    Therefore,

    ∑n=05f(n)=5⋅1365=6825\sum_{n=0}^{5} f(n)=5\cdot 1365=6825∑n=05​f(n)=5⋅1365=6825

  6. Check options

    The correct option is:

    D: 6825\boxed{\text{D: }6825}D: 6825​
