Question Number 181196 by depressiveshrek last updated on 22/Nov/22

Let a_1 , a_2 , a_3 , ...a_(2022)  be numbers  ranging from (0, +∞) \ {1}, for which  the function f : R→R is defined as  f(x)=a_1 ^x +a_2 ^x +a_3 ^x +...a_(2022) ^x .  If f(2022)=f(−2022)=2022 prove  that this function is constant.

$${Let}\:{a}_{\mathrm{1}} ,\:{a}_{\mathrm{2}} ,\:{a}_{\mathrm{3}} ,\:...{a}_{\mathrm{2022}} \:{be}\:{numbers} \\ $$$${ranging}\:{from}\:\left(\mathrm{0},\:+\infty\right)\:\backslash\:\left\{\mathrm{1}\right\},\:{for}\:{which} \\ $$$${the}\:{function}\:{f}\::\:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\:{is}\:{defined}\:{as} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={a}_{\mathrm{1}} ^{{x}} +{a}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{x}} +{a}_{\mathrm{3}} ^{{x}} +...{a}_{\mathrm{2022}} ^{{x}} . \\ $$$${If}\:{f}\left(\mathrm{2022}\right)={f}\left(−\mathrm{2022}\right)=\mathrm{2022}\:{prove} \\ $$$${that}\:{this}\:{function}\:{is}\:{constant}. \\ $$
