@ vibhu

u sure bout f(x)f(y) ?

ive marked 1 too . but i was thinking it could be cannot be determined since f(1) could equal zero ...
i did

f(2)f(1/2)=f(1)
f(1)f(1)=f(1.1)=f(1)
and then canceled f(1) on both sides. but if f(1) = 0 , then answer could be 0 as well ....

i got the same answer for the square.


wat about the rahim question ?? wat approach did u use ? i marked 6:45 as well ....



anyone else who's attempted these qs can pitch in with their inputs

This would still make f(1) = 1. Please be careful about such elementary errors.
