Question Number 3653 by prakash jain last updated on 17/Dec/15

f:R→R  f(x−f(y))=f(f(y))+xf(y)+f(x)−1  f(x)=?

$${f}:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}−{f}\left({y}\right)\right)={f}\left({f}\left({y}\right)\right)+{xf}\left({y}\right)+{f}\left({x}\right)−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=? \\ $$

f(x−f(y))=f(f(y))+xf(y)+f(x)−1................(i)  −−−−−−  x=0 in (i)  f(0−f(y))=f(f(y))+0f(y)+f(0)−1  f( −f(y) )=f( f(y) )+f(0)−1  −−−−−−−  y=0 in (i)  f(x−f(0))=f(f(0))+xf(0)+f(x)−1  Let y=x  f(x−f(x))=f(f(x))+xf(x)+f(x)−1  f(x−f(x))=f(f(x))+(x+1)f(x)−1  f(x−f(x))−f(f(x))+1=(x+1)f(x)  x↔y  in  (i)  f(y−f(x))=f(f(x))+yf(x)+f(y)−1................(ii)

f(y)=z  f(x−z)=f(z)+xz+f(x)−1    ...(i)  assume f(x)=0 for some x then we can try z=0  z=0, x=0  f(x)=f(0)+f(x)−1  f(0)=1  put x=0  f(−z)=f(z)    even function  continue

$${f}\left({y}\right)={z} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}−{z}\right)={f}\left({z}\right)+{xz}+{f}\left({x}\right)−\mathrm{1}\:\:\:\:...\left({i}\right) \\ $$$${assume}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:{for}\:{some}\:{x}\:{then}\:{we}\:{can}\:{try}\:{z}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${z}=\mathrm{0},\:{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)={f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)+{f}\left({x}\right)−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${put}\:{x}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${f}\left(−{z}\right)={f}\left({z}\right)\:\:\:\:{even}\:{function} \\ $$$${continue} \\ $$
