Given f(x,y) = y f(y,x) +x  find the value of f(1,2) .

$$\mathrm{Given}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x},\mathrm{y}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{y}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{y},\mathrm{x}\right)\:+\mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:. \\ $$

(i) f(1,2) = 2f(2,1)+1  (ii) f(2,1)=1.f(1,2)+2  ⇒f(1,2) = 2[f(1,2)+2]+1  f(1,2) = 2f(1,2) + 5  f(1,2) = −5

$$\left(\mathrm{i}\right)\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2f}\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{ii}\right)\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{2},\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2}\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{2}\right]+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:+\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:−\mathrm{5}\: \\ $$
