The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( f(1) \) given that \( f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} \) satisfies the condition: \[ f(1) + f(2) + \ldots + f(n) = n^2 f(n) \quad \text{for all } n \in \mathbb{N} \] We are also given that \( f(2025) = \frac{1}{2026} \). ### Step 1: Analyze the given condition for small values of \( n \) 1. **For \( n = 1 \)**: \[ f(1) = 1^2 f(1) \implies f(1) = f(1) \quad \text{(This is trivially true)} \] 2. **For \( n = 2 \)**: \[ f(1) + f(2) = 2^2 f(2) \implies f(1) + f(2) = 4f(2) \] Rearranging gives: \[ f(1) = 4f(2) - f(2) = 3f(2) \implies f(1) = 3f(2) \] ### Step 2: Continue with \( n = 3 \) 3. **For \( n = 3 \)**: \[ f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 3^2 f(3) \implies f(1) + f(2) + f(3) = 9f(3) \] Substitute \( f(1) = 3f(2) \): \[ 3f(2) + f(2) + f(3) = 9f(3) \implies 4f(2) + f(3) = 9f(3) \] Rearranging gives: \[ 4f(2) = 8f(3) \implies f(2) = 2f(3) \] ### Step 3: Continue with \( n = 4 \) 4. **For \( n = 4 \)**: \[ f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) = 4^2 f(4) \implies f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) = 16f(4) \] Substitute \( f(1) = 3f(2) \) and \( f(2) = 2f(3) \): \[ 3(2f(3)) + 2f(3) + f(4) = 16f(4) \implies 6f(3) + 2f(3) + f(4) = 16f(4) \] This simplifies to: \[ 8f(3) + f(4) = 16f(4) \implies 8f(3) = 15f(4) \implies f(4) = \frac{8}{15}f(3) \] ### Step 4: Identify the pattern From the calculations, we can see a pattern emerging: - \( f(1) = 3f(2) \) - \( f(2) = 2f(3) \) - \( f(3) = \frac{f(1)}{6} \) - \( f(4) = \frac{8}{15}f(3) \) ### Step 5: Use the given value \( f(2025) = \frac{1}{2026} \) Assuming the pattern holds, we can express \( f(n) \) in terms of \( f(1) \): - \( f(2) = \frac{f(1)}{3} \) - \( f(3) = \frac{f(1)}{6} \) - Continuing this pattern leads to \( f(n) = \frac{f(1)}{T_n} \) where \( T_n \) is the \( n \)-th triangular number. ### Step 6: Calculate \( f(2025) \) The \( 2025 \)-th triangular number \( T_{2025} = \frac{2025 \times 2026}{2} \). Thus: \[ f(2025) = \frac{f(1)}{T_{2025}} = \frac{f(1)}{\frac{2025 \times 2026}{2}} = \frac{2f(1)}{2025 \times 2026} \] Setting this equal to the given value: \[ \frac{2f(1)}{2025 \times 2026} = \frac{1}{2026} \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( f(1) \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 2f(1) = 2025 \implies f(1) = \frac{2025}{2} \] ### Final Answer \[ f(1) = 1012.5 \]
