The correct Answer is:
To solve the functional equation \( f(x^2 + yf(z)) = xf(x) + zf(y) \) for all \( x, y, z \in \mathbb{R} \) under the condition that \( f(x) = 0 \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) is not considered as a solution, we will analyze the equation step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the functional equation We start with the functional equation: \[ f(x^2 + yf(z)) = xf(x) + zf(y) \] ### Step 2: Substitute specific values 1. **Let \( x = 0 \)**: \[ f(0^2 + yf(z)) = 0 \cdot f(0) + zf(y) \implies f(yf(z)) = zf(y) \] 2. **Let \( y = 0 \)**: \[ f(x^2 + 0 \cdot f(z)) = xf(x) + zf(0) \implies f(x^2) = xf(x) + zf(0) \] ### Step 3: Analyze the implications From the second substitution, if we let \( z = 0 \): \[ f(x^2) = xf(x) + 0 \implies f(x^2) = xf(x) \] ### Step 4: Explore further substitutions 3. **Let \( z = 1 \)** in the first equation: \[ f(x^2 + yf(1)) = xf(x) + f(y) \] ### Step 5: Investigate the form of \( f \) Now, we have two equations: 1. \( f(yf(z)) = zf(y) \) 2. \( f(x^2) = xf(x) \) ### Step 6: Consider linearity Assuming \( f(x) \) is a linear function of the form \( f(x) = kx \), we can substitute this back into our original equation to check for consistency. ### Step 7: Substitute \( f(x) = kx \) Substituting \( f(x) = kx \) into the original equation: \[ f(x^2 + yf(z)) = k(x^2 + y(kz)) = kx^2 + ky(kz) \] \[ xf(x) + zf(y) = x(kx) + z(ky) = kx^2 + kzy \] ### Step 8: Equate and solve for \( k \) From the above, we equate: \[ kx^2 + ky(kz) = kx^2 + kzy \] This implies \( ky(kz) = kzy \), which is true for all \( y, z \) if \( k \neq 0 \). ### Step 9: Conclusion Thus, the function \( f(x) = kx \) holds for any non-zero constant \( k \). ### Step 10: Check the options Now, we check the options provided in the question: - **Option A**: \( f(\alpha) < \alpha^4 \) for \( \alpha \in (0, 1) \) - **Incorrect**. - **Option B**: \( f(\alpha) < \alpha^2 \) for \( \alpha \in (0, 1) \) - **Incorrect**. - **Option C**: \( f(\alpha) = \alpha^3 \) for some \( \alpha \in \mathbb{R}^+ \) - **Correct**. - **Option D**: \( \lim_{\alpha \to 0^+} \frac{f(\alpha)}{\alpha} < \lim_{\alpha \to 0^+} \frac{\sin(\alpha)}{\alpha} \) - **Incorrect**. ### Final Answer The incorrect options are A, B, and D. ---
