The function \(f\) is such that for any positive \(x\) and \(y\) the equality \(f (xy) = f (x) + f (y)\) holds. Find \(f (2007)\) if \(f (1/2007) = 1\).
The function \(f (x)\) is defined on the positive real \(x\) and takes only positive values. It is known that \(f (1) + f (2) = 10\) and \(f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b) + 2\sqrt{f(a)f(b)}\) for any \(a\) and \(b\). Find \(f (2^{2011})\).
Let \(x_1, x_2, \dots , x_n\) be some numbers belonging to the interval \([0, 1]\). Prove that on this segment there is a number \(x\) such that \[\frac{1}{n} (|x - x_1| + |x - x_2| + \dots + |x - x_n|) = 1/2.\]
On a function \(f (x)\), defined on the entire real line, it is known that for any \(a>1\) the function \(f (x) + f (ax)\) is continuous on the whole line. Prove that \(f (x)\) is also continuous on the whole line.
Find all functions \(f (x)\) defined for all real values of \(x\) and satisfying the equation \(2f (x) + f (1 - x) = x^2\).
Let \(f (x)\) be a polynomial about which it is known that the equation \(f (x) = x\) has no roots. Prove that then the equation \(f (f (x)) = x\) does not have any roots.
Suppose that there are 15 prime numbers forming an arithmetic progression with a difference of \(d\). Prove that \(d >30,000\).
Method of iterations. In order to approximately solve an equation, it is allowed to write \(f (x) = x\), by using the iteration method. First, some number \(x_0\) is chosen, and then the sequence \(\{x_n\}\) is constructed according to the rule \(x_{n + 1} = f (x_n)\) (\(n \geq 0\)). Prove that if this sequence has the limit \(x * = \lim \limits_ {n \to \infty} x_n\), and the function \(f (x)\) is continuous, then this limit is the root of the original equation: \(f (x ^*) = x^*\).
Find the largest value of the expression \(a + b + c + d - ab - bc - cd - da\), if each of the numbers \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) and \(d\) belongs to the interval \([0, 1]\).
The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are defined on the entire number line and are reciprocal. It is known that \(f\) is represented as a sum of a linear and a periodic function: \(f (x) = kx + h (x)\), where \(k\) is a number, and \(h\) is a periodic function. Prove that \(g\) is also represented in this form.
