3. Since we are interested in finding f(–3), we first put x = –3 in the relation, obtaining f(0) = f(3) ((f(–3)).
Thus, we must also known f(0) in order to find f(–3).
Letting x = 0 in the relation, f(3) = f(3) f(0)
 f(0) = 1 as f(3) = 2; Thus, f(0) = f(3) . f(–3)
 1 = (2) . f(–3)
1
 f(–3) =
2
 x = –1 is a solution
4. We have to evaluate the function f(x)
We need to replace (x – 2) in the given equation to find f(x). The right hand side expression, however, does
not contain the term(x – 2). We, therefore (need to find the term), which will replace x. Clearly if x replaces (x
– 2), then (x + 2) will replace x – 2 + 2 = x.
Thus we need to replace x by (x + 2).
 f(x + 2 – 2) = (x + 2)2 – 4 = x2 + 4x + 4 - 4
 f(x) = x2 + 4x

 1)

 f(a + 1) + f(a + 2) + … + f(a + n) = 16(2n – 1).

Now f(x + y) = f(x) . f(y) and f(1) = 2 (given)
 f(2) = f(1 = 1) = f(1) .f(1) = (f(1))2 = (2)2; f(3) = f(2 + 1) = f(2) . f(1) = (2)2(2) = (2)3

 f(n) = 2n n  N.
Now, f(a + 1) + f(a + 2) + … + f(a + n)
= 2a [2 + 4+ … + 2n] = 2a . 2(2n – 1) = 16(2n – 1)
 16 = 2a+1
 a=3

5. Given f( + x) = f( - x) …(1)
f(2 + x) = –f(2 - x) … (2)
for  0
Replacing x by  - x in  - x in (1), we get
f(2 - x) = f(x) … (3)
 From(2) and (3), f(x) = –f(2 + x)
 f(x) = –[–f(2 + 2 + x)]
 f(x) = f(x + 4)
 f(x) is periodic with period 4 … (4)
Further from (3), replacing x by –x, we get

f(2 + x) = f(–x) … (5)
From (2), (3) and (5),we get
f(–x) = f(2 + x) = –f(2 - x) = –f(x)
i.e., f(–x) = –f(x)
 f(x) is odd function
Thus, f is odd and periodic function
