Problem 1

Find all functions ff , defined and having values in the set of integer numbers, for which the following conditions are satisfied: (a) f(1)=1f(1) = 1 ; (b) for every two whole (integer) numbers mm and nn , the following equality is satisfied: f(m+n)⋅(f(m)−f(n))=f(m−n)⋅(f(m)+f(n))f(m+n)·(f(m)-f(n)) = f(m-n)·(f(m)+ f(n))

Problem 2
