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)-\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}
