The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to prove that if a function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) satisfies the equation \[ f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) \] for all \( x, y \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( f(x) \neq 0 \), and if \( f \) is differentiable at \( x = 0 \) with \( f'(0) = 2 \), then it follows that \( f'(x) = 2 f(x) \) for all \( x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Functional Equation**: Given \( f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) \), we can set \( y = 0 \): \[ f(x+0) = f(x)f(0) \implies f(x) = f(x)f(0) \] Since \( f(x) \neq 0 \), we can divide both sides by \( f(x) \): \[ 1 = f(0) \implies f(0) = 1 \] 2. **Finding \( f'(0) \)**: We know that \( f'(0) = 2 \). The derivative at \( x = 0 \) is defined as: \[ f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - f(0)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - 1}{h} \] Given that \( f'(0) = 2 \), we have: \[ 2 = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - 1}{h} \] 3. **Finding \( f'(x) \)**: To find \( f'(x) \) for any \( x \), we use the definition of the derivative: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \] Using the functional equation, we can express \( f(x+h) \): \[ f(x+h) = f(x)f(h) \] Thus, \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)f(h) - f(x)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x)(f(h) - 1)}{h} \] Since \( f(x) \) is constant with respect to \( h \), we can factor it out: \[ f'(x) = f(x) \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - 1}{h} \] 4. **Using the Limit**: From our earlier calculation, we know: \[ \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - 1}{h} = 2 \] Therefore: \[ f'(x) = f(x) \cdot 2 = 2f(x) \] 5. **Conclusion**: We have shown that: \[ f'(x) = 2f(x) \] for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). ### Final Result Thus, we conclude that \( f'(x) = 2f(x) \).

To solve the problem, we need to prove that if a function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) satisfies the equation \[ f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) \] for all \( x, y \in \mathbb{R} \) and \( f(x) \neq 0 \), and if \( f \) is differentiable at \( x = 0 \) with \( f'(0) = 2 \), then it follows that \( f'(x) = 2 f(x) \) for all \( x \). ...
