Problem

If f(x) is a real-valued function of a real variable x, such that 2f(x) + 3f(-x) = 15 – 4x for all x, find the function f(x).


Solution:

2f(x) + 3f(-x) = 15 – 4x
Putting x =0, we gets
2f(0) + 3f(0) = 15
Or, f(0) = 3.
Let g(x) = f (x) – 3
2f(x) + 3f(-x) = 15 – 4x
Or, 2g(x) + 3g(-x) = - 4x …(i)
Now put x = - x
2g(-x) + 3g(x) = 4x …(ii)
(i) + (ii), g(x) + g(-x) = o
Or, g(x) = -g(-x) …(iii)

Now 2g(x) + 3g(-x) = - 4x
Or, –g(x) = - 4x [from (iii)]
Or, g(x) = 4x
Or, f(x) = 4x + 3
