Let be a function such that for all real numbers and
Let be the number of possible values of and let be the sum of all possible values of Find
Let be the number of possible values of and let be the sum of all possible values of Find
Solution
Setting we get for all so
Setting we get for all
Setting we get In particular, for
Since But and so Then for Since for all
Let so Substituting into the given equation, we get For this to hold for all and we must have so or
Thus, the solutions are and This means and so
