if f(x) = f(x+1) − x   find f(x)
$${if}\:{f}\left({x}\right)\:=\:{f}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)\:−\:{x}\: \\ $$$${find}\:{f}\left({x}\right)\: \\ $$

f(x+1)−f(x)=x  ⇒f(0)=f(1)  ⇒f(x)=kx(x−1)+c  k[(x+1)x−x(x−1)]=x  k=(1/2)  ⇒f(x)=(1/2)x(x−1)+c
$${f}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right)−{f}\left({x}\right)={x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)={f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)={kx}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)+{c} \\ $$$${k}\left[\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right){x}−{x}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\right]={x} \\ $$$${k}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{x}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)+{c} \\ $$
