If f ( 0 ) = 3 f(0)=3 and f ( x ) f ( x ) = f ( x ) f ( x ) f(x)f'(-x)=f(-x)f'(x) for all x x , then what is the value of f ( x ) f ( x ) f(x)f(-x) ?

Given , f ( x ) . f ( x ) = f ( x ) . f ( x ) f(x).f^{'}(-x)=f(-x).f^{'}(x)

f ( x ) f ( x ) \frac{f^{'}(x)}{f(x)} = = f ( x ) f ( x ) \frac{f^{'}(-x)}{f(-x)}

Integrating Both The Sides We Get ,

l n f ( x ) = l n f ( x ) + c lnf(x)=-lnf(-x)+c

l n ( f ( x ) . f ( x ) ) = c ln(f(x).f(-x))=c

f ( x ) . f ( x ) = c f(x).f(-x)=c

Given , f ( 0 ) = 3 f(0)=3

f 2 ( 0 ) = 9 = c f^{2}(0)=9=c

f ( x ) . f ( x ) = 9 f(x).f(-x)=9

I kill in this way......

From Question It is clear that ,

f ( x ) f ( x ) = k = c o n s t a n t f(x)*f(-x)=k=constant

f ( 0 ) = 3 f(0)=3

K=9

d d x f ( x ) f ( x ) = f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) = 0 Since f ( x ) f ( x ) = f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) f ( x ) = C where C is the constant of integration. f ( 0 ) f ( 0 ) = 9 Putting x = 0 \begin{aligned} \frac d{dx} f(x)f(-x) & = f'(x)f(-x) - f(x)f'(-x) = 0 & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Since }f(x)f'(-x) = f'(x)f(-x) \\ \implies f(x)f(-x) & = \color{#3D99F6} C & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{where }C \text{ is the constant of integration.} \\ f(0)f(0) & = \boxed 9 & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Putting }x=0 \end{aligned}

Assume that the answer is constant for all x x and all possible f f .

Since f f' appears on both sides of the equation, a trivial solution can be obtained by setting f ( x ) = 0 f'(x) = 0 for all x x (i.e. f f is a constant function), making the equation equivalent to 0 = 0 0=0 .

Then, since f ( 0 ) = 3 f(0) = 3 , f ( x ) × f ( x ) = 3 × 3 = 9 f(x)\times f(-x) = 3\times 3 = 9
