Let $f : N \rightarrow R$ be a function such that $f(x+y)=2 f(x) f(y)$ for natural numbers $x$ and $y$. If $f(1)=2$, then the value of $\alpha$ for which

$\sum \limits_{k=1}^{10} f(\alpha+k)=\frac{512}{3}\left(2^{20}-1\right)$ holds, is

Solution

$f : N \rightarrow R , f ( x + y )=2 f ( x ) f ( y )$

$f (1)=2$,

$\sum_{ k =1}^{10} f (\alpha+ k )=2 f (\alpha) \sum_{ k =1}^{10} f ( k )$

$=2 f (\alpha)( f (1)+ f (2)+\ldots .+ f (10))$

From $(1)$

$f (2)=2 f ^{2}(1)=2^{3}$

$\left.f (3)=2 f (2) f (1)=2^{5}\right)$

$\vdots$

$f (10)=2^{9} f ^{10}(1)=2^{19}$

$f (\alpha)=2^{2 \alpha-1} ; \alpha \in N$

from $(2)$

$\sum_{ k =1}^{10} f (\alpha+ k )=2\left(2^{2 \alpha-1}\right)\left(2+2^{3}+2^{5}+\ldots .+2^{19}\right)$

$\frac{512}{3}\left(2^{20}-1\right)=2^{2 \alpha}\left(2 \frac{\left(2^{20}-1\right)}{3}\right)$

Hence $\alpha=4$

easy

Show that the function $f: R_* \rightarrow R_$ defined by $f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ is one-one and onto, where $R_$ is the set of all non-zero real numbers. Is the result true, if the domain $R_$ is replaced by $N$ with co-domain being same as $R _$ ?

Let $f (x) = a^x (a > 0)$ be written as $f( x) = f_1( x) + f_2( x)$ , where $f_1( x)$ is an even function and $f_2( x)$ is an odd function. Then $f_1( x + y) + f_1( x – y )$ equals
