functional analysis - f(x) if f(xy)=f(x)+f(y)+fracx+y1xy




Let f be a differentiable function satisfying the functional time f(xy)=f(x)+f(y)+x+y1xyx,y>0 and f(1)=2




My work



Putting y=1



f(1)=1


f(x)=limh0f(x+h)f(x)h

But I don't know anything about f(x+h) so what to do in this problem ?


Answer



Differentiate both sides with respect to x:

yf(xy)=f(x)1x2+1x2y


For y=1/x, we get
f(1)x=f(x)1x2+1x

so
f(x)=1x2+f(1)1x
