The correct Answer is:
To solve the functional equation given by \[ f\left(x + \frac{5}{6}\right) + f(x) = f\left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + f\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right) \] for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the functional equation We start with the equation: \[ f\left(x + \frac{5}{6}\right) + f(x) = f\left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + f\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right) \] This suggests a relationship between the values of the function at different points. ### Step 2: Substitute specific values for \(x\) Let's substitute \(x = 0\): \[ f\left(0 + \frac{5}{6}\right) + f(0) = f\left(0 + \frac{1}{2}\right) + f\left(0 + \frac{1}{3}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ f\left(\frac{5}{6}\right) + f(0) = f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \] ### Step 3: Explore the implications of the equation Now, we can analyze the implications of this equation. If we assume \(f\) is a linear function of the form \(f(x) = ax + b\), we can substitute this into our original functional equation. ### Step 4: Substitute \(f(x) = ax + b\) Substituting \(f(x) = ax + b\) into the functional equation gives us: \[ a\left(x + \frac{5}{6}\right) + b + ax + b = a\left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + b + a\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right) + b \] This simplifies to: \[ ax + a\frac{5}{6} + 2b = ax + a\frac{1}{2} + b + ax + a\frac{1}{3} + b \] ### Step 5: Simplify and equate coefficients Combining like terms, we have: \[ a\frac{5}{6} + 2b = 2ax + b + a\left(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}\right) \] We can simplify the right side: \[ a\frac{5}{6} + 2b = 2ax + b + a\left(\frac{5}{6}\right) \] This leads to: \[ 2b = b \implies b = 0 \] ### Step 6: Conclusion about the function Thus, we find that \(f(x) = ax\) for some constant \(a\). ### Step 7: Check for properties of the function 1. **Evenness**: \(f(-x) = -ax = -f(x)\), hence \(f\) is an odd function. 2. **Periodicity**: Since \(f(x) = ax\) is a linear function, it is not periodic unless \(a = 0\). 3. **The condition \(f(x + 2) - f(x + 1) = f(x + 1) - f(x)\)** holds true. ### Final Answer Thus, the correct option is: **Option C**: \(f(x + 2) - f(x + 1) = f(x + 1) - f(x)\). ---

To solve the functional equation given by \[ f\left(x + \frac{5}{6}\right) + f(x) = f\left(x + \frac{1}{2}\right) + f\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right) \] for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}\), we can follow these steps: ...
