Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow:
A function ff is such that f(xy)=f(x+y)f(xy) = f(x+y) for all real values of xx and yy, and f(5)=10f(5) = 10.

What is f(20)+f(−20)f(20) + f(-20) equal to?

Options

  1. A00
  2. B1010
  3. C2020
  4. D4040

Correct answer

C. 2020

Step-by-step solution

Given f(xy)=f(x+y)f(xy) = f(x+y) for all real values of xx and yy.

Substituting y=0y = 0, we get f(x⋅0)=f(x+0)f(x \cdot 0) = f(x + 0), which simplifies to f(0)=f(x)f(0) = f(x) for all real xx.

This implies that f(x)f(x) is a constant function for all real values of xx.

Since f(5)=10f(5) = 10, the constant value of the function is 1010. Thus, f(x)=10f(x) = 10 for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}.

We need to find the value of f(20)+f(−20)f(20) + f(-20).

f(20)=10f(20) = 10

f(−20)=10f(-20) = 10

f(20)+f(−20)=10+10=20f(20) + f(-20) = 10 + 10 = 20
