Show Answer

Correct Answer :

51

Solution :

The correct answer is 51.

Step 1: Determine the function f(x)

We are given that f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y) for all real numbers x,y.

This is Cauchy's additive functional equation, which implies that f(x)=kx for some constant k.

We are given:

f(35)=12

Substituting x=35 into f(x)=kx:

k(35)=12

k=12×(53)=20

Therefore, the function is f(x)=20x.

Now, we can find f(14):

f(14)=20×14=5

Step 2: Determine the values of g(0) and g(2)

We are given that g(x+y)=g(x)g(y) for all x,yR and g:R(0,).

To find g(0), substitute x=0 and y=0:

g(0+0)=g(0)g(0)g(0)=g(0)2

Since g(x)>0 for all x, we can divide by g(0):

g(0)=1

To find g(2), note that:

2=6×(13)

Using the multiplicative property g(nx)=g(x)n:

g(2)=g136

Given g(13)=2, we get:

g(2)=26=64

Step 3: Calculate the final value

We need to find the value of:

f(14)+g(2)8g(0)

Substitute the evaluated values:

=5+648(1)

=598=51
