The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( f(0) + f'(0) \) given the conditions of the function \( f \). ### Step 1: Analyze the given functional equation We are given that \( f(\alpha x) \cdot f(\beta x) = f(x) \) for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) where \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = 1 \). ### Step 2: Substitute \( x = 0 \) Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the functional equation: \[ f(\alpha \cdot 0) \cdot f(\beta \cdot 0) = f(0) \implies f(0) \cdot f(0) = f(0) \implies f(0)^2 = f(0). \] This implies that \( f(0) \) can be either \( 0 \) or \( 1 \). ### Step 3: Consider the case \( f(0) = 0 \) If \( f(0) = 0 \), then substituting back into the functional equation gives: \[ f(\alpha x) \cdot f(\beta x) = f(x). \] For \( x = 1 \): \[ f(\alpha) \cdot f(\beta) = f(1) = 2. \] This suggests that both \( f(\alpha) \) and \( f(\beta) \) would need to be non-zero, which contradicts the assumption that \( f(0) = 0 \). Hence, \( f(0) \) cannot be \( 0 \). ### Step 4: Conclude \( f(0) = 1 \) Thus, we conclude that \( f(0) = 1 \). ### Step 5: Differentiate the functional equation Now, we differentiate the functional equation \( f(\alpha x) \cdot f(\beta x) = f(x) \) with respect to \( x \): Using the product rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[f(\alpha x) \cdot f(\beta x)] = f'(\alpha x) \cdot \alpha \cdot f(\beta x) + f(\alpha x) \cdot f'(\beta x) \cdot \beta = f'(x). \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( x = 0 \) in the differentiated equation Substituting \( x = 0 \): \[ f'(\alpha \cdot 0) \cdot \alpha \cdot f(\beta \cdot 0) + f(0) \cdot f'(\beta \cdot 0) \cdot \beta = f'(0). \] This simplifies to: \[ f'(0) \cdot \alpha \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot f'(0) \cdot \beta = f'(0). \] Thus: \[ f'(0)(\alpha + \beta) = f'(0). \] ### Step 7: Analyze the equation From \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = 1 \) and \( \alpha + \beta = 1 \), we can conclude that \( f'(0) \) must equal \( 0 \) because if \( f'(0) \neq 0 \), we would have \( \alpha + \beta = 1 \) leading to a contradiction. ### Step 8: Final calculation Thus, we have: \[ f(0) = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad f'(0) = 0. \] Therefore: \[ f(0) + f'(0) = 1 + 0 = 1. \] ### Final Answer The value of \( f(0) + f'(0) \) is \( \boxed{1} \).
