This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Did you solve the last geometry question given in our practice paper(1). i think the question is wrong since BDC is a straight line and 3x doesnt make sense.

Aaron Jerry Ninan - 4 years, 5 months ago

@Harsh Shrivastava- Yes. For the question, how will one prove that there doesnt exist any function other than f(x)=x+1.

I got one function f(x)=x+1 .I want to know if there exist any other functions satisfying the equation ,if not,how to prove it. I assumed that f(x)>x+1 in one case and f(x)<x+1 in other case. In both cases i am not able contradict something but instead i am getting some conditions on x,y...etc. Please help.
