Question Number 176332 by Linton last updated on 16/Sep/22
f((x/(f(y))))= (x/y)  solve for x and y
$${f}\left(\frac{{x}}{{f}\left({y}\right)}\right)=\:\frac{{x}}{{y}} \\ $$$${solve}\:{for}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y} \\ $$

you mean find f(x)?
$${you}\:{mean}\:{find}\:{f}\left({x}\right)? \\ $$

(x/(f(y)))=t ⇒x=tf(y)  f(t)=((tf(y))/y)  ⇒((f(t))/t)=((f(y))/y)=...=k=constant  ⇒f(x)=kx
$$\frac{{x}}{{f}\left({y}\right)}={t}\:\Rightarrow{x}={tf}\left({y}\right) \\ $$$${f}\left({t}\right)=\frac{{tf}\left({y}\right)}{{y}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{{f}\left({t}\right)}{{t}}=\frac{{f}\left({y}\right)}{{y}}=…={k}={constant} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)={kx} \\ $$

solve for x and y ?
$${solve}\:{for}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y}\:? \\ $$

“solve for x and y” means “find the  values for x and y”. do you think you  can determine the values for x and y  with given conditions? here x and y  can be any value.
$$“{solve}\:{for}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y}''\:{means}\:“{find}\:{the} \\ $$$${values}\:{for}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y}''.\:{do}\:{you}\:{think}\:{you} \\ $$$${can}\:{determine}\:{the}\:{values}\:{for}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y} \\ $$$${with}\:{given}\:{conditions}?\:{here}\:{x}\:{and}\:{y} \\ $$$${can}\:{be}\:{any}\:{value}. \\ $$
