Let f be a differentiable function satisfying the functional time f(xy)=f(x)+f(y)+x+y−1xy∀x,y>0 and f′(1)=2
My work
Putting y=1
f(1)=−1
f′(x)=lim
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)-\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x^2y}
For y=1/x, we get
\frac{f'(1)}{x}=f'(x)-\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x}
so
f'(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{f'(1)-1}{x}
