    I took the following way: f(x) = x - f(1/(1-x)) = x - 1/(1-x) + f(1/(1-1/(1-x))) = x + 1/(x-1) + f((x-1) /x) = x + 1/(x-1) + (x-1)/x - f(1/(1-(x-1)/x)) = x + 1/(x-1) + (x-1)/x - f(x).
    So, f(x) = x + 1/(x-1) + (x-1)/x - f(x).
    The conclusion easily follows.
    Thank you and compliments for your work, Sir. 👍

    Hello, thank you for such a great video. May I ask what motivates you to replace x with 1/(1-x)? Also, is there a unique property of 1/(1-x) such that x replace by 1/(1-x) followed by x replaced by (x-1)/x results in x again in f(x)? Thanks :)

      It's called the circle method of solving functional equations. It creates a system of equations that helps us solve for the function f. Best to Google it as there are many answers out there better than mine!

    Can use polynomial division to show x^3+14=(x^2+7x-2)(x-7) +51x. Since x^2+7x-2=0, x^3+14=51x. The answer 51 follows by division by x.

    You proved that if f(x) satisfies the functional equation, it has the closed form of 12:40 . But you need prove the opposite as well: that the closed form of 12:40 satisfies the functional equation.

    • @ovalteen4404
      @ovalteen4404 2 года назад +1

      Functions are just shorthand for the expression assigned to them. Wherever you see f(something), replace it with the expression assigned to it but substitute (something) wherever it appears in the equation. So if f(x)=x+1, f(7+y) becomes (7+y)+1

    I understand the solution but I dunno how could anyone solve it. The need to substitute x as so many other things is just bizarre.

    • @FromTheMountain
      @FromTheMountain 2 года назад +2

      Well, there is actually a good reason for choosing these specific substitutions. Going from equation 1 to equation 2, his idea is that he wants equation 2 to contain at least one of the terms of equation 1, and the way to do that is to make the f(x) term turn into the f(1/(1-x)) term, i.e. substitute x --> 1/(1-x). Going from equation 2 to equation 3 is the exact same substitution (this might not have obvious because he frames it as a substitution in the first equation, but you could just as well acquire equation 3 by substituting x --> 1/(1-x) into equation 2). After doing this procedure twice, we find that the second term in equation 3 is one that we already had earlier (namely, f(x)), so we have a system of three equations with three unknowns (f(x), f(1/(1-x)), f((x-1/x)), so we can solve for f(x).
      This method can be generalized. Suppose we have some equation f(x) + f(g(x)) = h(x), where g and h are known, and we want to solve for f. Furthermore, suppose that there is a positive integer n such that such that g^n(x) = x (g^n means repeated application of g, in our case: g(x) = 1/(1-x) and n = 3).Then we can also find similar equations f(g(x)) + f(g(g(x)) = h(g(x)), f(g(g(x))) + f(g(g(g(x)))) = h(g(g(x)), and so on, until we find f(g^(n-1)(x)) + f(g^n(x)) = h(g^(n-1)(x)). But we know that g^n(x) = x, so this last equation just comes down to f(g^(n-1)(x)) + f(x) = h(g^(n-1)(x)). Again, we have n equations in n unknowns, and we can solve for f(x).
      I hope this could somewhat clarify the reasoning behind the solution to this problem.
