Let f(x) be a function which contains 2 in its domain and range. Suppose that f(f(x))*(1+(f(x)) = -f(x) for all numbers x in the domain of f(x).

 

Thank you for your help.

I did two of these for you... from what class are you getting these questions?

 

I was able to see the trick in the first two but this one seems truly complicated.

 

Is your class teaching any strategies for dealing with these?

How about this.

 

f(f(x))(1+(f(x))=f(x)sof(f(2))(1+(f(2))=f(2)letf(2)=kf(k)(1+k)=kf(k)=k1+k

 

This has to work for all the other values in the domain as well so I will replace k with x

 

f(x)=x1+x

 

 

This contains 2 in its range as well as its domain.
