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(0)f(0) equal to?

Options

  1. A00
  2. B11
  3. C55
  4. D1010

Correct answer

D. 1010

Step-by-step solution

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

Substituting y=0y = 0 into the given equation:

f(x⋅0)=f(x+0)f(x \cdot 0) = f(x + 0)

f(0)=f(x)f(0) = f(x)

This shows that f(x)f(x) is a constant function, meaning it takes the same value for all real xx.

We are given that f(5)=10f(5) = 10.

Since f(x)=f(0)f(x) = f(0) for all xx, substituting x=5x = 5 gives:

f(5)=f(0)f(5) = f(0)

Therefore, f(0)=10f(0) = 10.

Answer: 1010
