Explanation:

(a)

If f(x2 + f(y)) = xf(x) + y for all non-negative integers x and y, then the value of [f(0)]^2+f (0) equals________.

Sol. Given f(x^2 + f(y)) = xf(x) + y

Put x = 1 and y = 0 we get,

f(1 + f(0)) = 1 × f(1) + 0

⇒ f(1 + f(0)) = f(1)

It means 1+f(0) = 1 or f(0) = 0

Therefore, [f(0)]2+f (0) = 0.
