$${if}\:{f}\left({x}\right)={k}={constant}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}\left({f}\left({x}\right)−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${if}\:{f}\left({x}\right)={ax}+{b}\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)={ax}+{a}+{b}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}\left({ax}+{b}−\mathrm{1}\right)\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{ax}+\mathrm{4}{b}−{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${we}\:{cant}\:{determine}\:{a},{b} \\ $$

$${x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =−\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{such}\:\mathrm{function}\:\mathrm{exists} \\ $$
