APMO 1989 Problem 5

  • Paper
  • Answer

Determine all functions ff from the reals to the reals for which (1) f(x)f(x) is strictly increasing, (2) f(x)+g(x)=2xf(x)+g(x)=2 x for all real xx, where g(x)g(x) is the composition inverse function to f(x)f(x). (Note: ff and gg are said to be composition inverses if f(g(x))=xf(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=xg(f(x))=x for all real x.)
