Suppose that f defined on (, ) and has the following properties.

(i). lim f ( x) 1 and

x 0

(ii). f ( x1 x2 ) f ( x1 ) f ( x2 ), x1 , x2

Prove :
a. f ( x) 0 for all x
b. f (rx) [ f ( x)]r if r is rational
c. If f (1) 1 then f is constant

Penyelesaian :

a. Since f ( x) [ f ( x / 2)]2 from (i) f ( x) 0 for all x .

If f ( x0 ) 0, then f ( x0 ) f ( x x0 ) 0 for all x , which contradicts (i). therefore f ( x) 0
for all x .

b. From (ii) and induction, A f (mt ) ( f (t ))m if m is a positive integer. Since f (0) 1
because of (i) and continuity (exercise 2.2.12). (A) holds for m 0 . If m is a negative
integer, then 1 f (0) f (mt ) | m | t f (mt ) f (| m | t ) f (mt )( f (t )) |m| ; Hence
f (mt ) ( f (t ))|m| ( f (t ))m hence (A) hold for for all integers m. If p / q then
f (qrx) ( f (rx))q (t ) rx and m q in (A)) while
f (qrx) f ( p( x)) ( f ( x)) p (t x, m p in ( A)). therefore ( f ( x)) p f (rx)) q so
f (rx) ( f ( x)) p / q ( f ( x))r .

c. If f (1) 1 , (a) implies f (r ) 1 for every rational r , since f is continuous on (, )

(exercise 2.2.10)
