BALTIC-WAY 2024 Problem 1

  • Answer

Let α\alpha be a non-zero real number. Find all functions f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that

xf(x+y)=(x+αy)f(x)+xf(y)x f(x+y)=(x+\alpha y) f(x)+x f(y)

for all x,y∈Rx, y \in \mathbb{R}.

Show the answer

f(x)=c x^{2} \text{ for any real constant } c \text{ if } \alpha=2 ; f(x)=0 \text{ otherwise}
