The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start with the given functional equation and the derivative information. ### Step 1: Analyze the functional equation We have the functional equation: \[ f(x^m y^n) = mf(x) + nf(y) \] for all \( x, y \in \mathbb{R}^+ \) and for all \( m, n \in \mathbb{R} \). ### Step 2: Substitute specific values Let's set \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 1 \), \( m = 1 \), and \( n = 1 \): \[ f(1^1 \cdot 1^1) = 1 \cdot f(1) + 1 \cdot f(1) \] This simplifies to: \[ f(1) = 2f(1) \] Subtracting \( f(1) \) from both sides gives: \[ 0 = f(1) \] Thus, we find: \[ f(1) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Set up the limit We need to find: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(1+x)}{x} \] Since \( f(1) = 0 \), substituting \( x = 0 \) gives us a \( \frac{0}{0} \) form. ### Step 4: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule Since we have a \( \frac{0}{0} \) form, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which states that: \[ \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to c} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)} \] if the limits exist. In our case: - \( f(x) = f(1+x) \) - \( g(x) = x \) Differentiating both: - The derivative of the numerator \( f(1+x) \) with respect to \( x \) is \( f'(1+x) \). - The derivative of the denominator \( x \) is \( 1 \). Thus, we have: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(1+x)}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} f'(1+x) \] ### Step 5: Evaluate the limit As \( x \to 0 \), \( 1+x \to 1 \): \[ \lim_{x \to 0} f'(1+x) = f'(1) \] ### Step 6: Use the given derivative information We are given that: \[ f'(x) = \frac{e}{x} \] Thus, \[ f'(1) = \frac{e}{1} = e \] ### Conclusion The limit we are looking for is: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(1+x)}{x} = f'(1) = e \] Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{e} \] ---
