Another IMOTC Question

by utkarshgupta, Jun 19, 2014, 4:17 AM

Here we have a rather simple problem for a TST from IMOTC 2010.
Infact it's copied from BrMO 2009 Round 1.
Is something wrong??

Problem (Iindian TST 2010)Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x+y)+xy=f(x)f(y)$ for all reals $x, y$
Solutions

Remarks

india

algebra

British

functional equation

Wait, wasn't this in the practice test? That might explain why this is so easy...

Doesn't look like an IMOTC problem. I know very less about functions but could still solve this.

No ideas about the cut off but should be less than 60 according to me...
So you never know
by utkarshgupta, Feb 6, 2015, 4:06 PM

by kgdpsdurg, Feb 6, 2015, 12:41 PM
