Let f : R + → R such that f ( x ) + 2 f ( x 1 3 3 1 ) = L ⋅ x where L is a constant.
Knowing that f ( 1 1 ) = 8 4 7 , what is L ?

Nice solution, Shubhendra!! Did the same way!:)
Thanks :).
Easy as pie ! :D
Let x = a
f ( a ) + 2 f ( a 1 3 3 1 ) = L × a
Let x = a 1 3 3 1
f ( a 1 3 3 1 ) + 2 f ( a ) = L × a 1 3 3 1
2 f ( a 1 3 3 1 ) + 4 f ( a ) = L × a 2 6 6 2
( 2 ) − ( 1 ) :
3 f ( a ) = L × a 2 6 6 2 − L × a
3 f ( x ) = L × x 2 6 6 2 − L × x
Since f ( 1 1 ) = 8 4 7 , then
3 f ( 1 1 ) = L × 1 1 2 6 6 2 − L × 1 1
3 × 8 4 7 = 2 4 2 L − 1 1 L
2 5 4 1 = 2 3 1 × L
L = 1 1
This is a linear system governed by ( 1 2 2 1 ) ( f 1 1 f 1 1 2 ) = L ( 1 1 1 1 2 ) which restricts the solution of L to 8 4 7 = − 3 L ( 1 1 − 2 × 1 1 2 ) ⟹ L = 1 1
f ( x ) + 2 f ( 1 3 3 1 / x ) = m x ( 1 ) (since l(x)is a straight line passing through origin hence c=0) here m = s l o p e and c = i n t e r c e p t on the y axis. Replace x by 1331/x in (1) f ( 1 3 3 1 / x ) + 2 f ( x ) = m ( 1 3 3 1 / x ) ( 2 ) adding (1) and (2) and dividing by 3 both sides f ( x ) + f ( 1 3 3 1 / x ) = 1 / 3 ( m x + 1 3 3 1 m / x ) (3) put the value of f(1331/x) from (2) in (3) 1 3 3 1 m / x − f ( x ) = m x / 3 + 1 3 3 1 m / 3 x P u t , x = 1 1 7 7 m = f ( 1 1 ) Hence m = 1 1

Put x = 1 1 in the Given equation to get f ( 1 1 ) + 2 f ( 1 2 1 ) = L ( 1 1 )
Now Put x = 1 2 1 in the Given equation to get f ( 1 2 1 ) + 2 f ( 1 1 ) = L ( 1 2 1 )
Substitute the Value of f ( 1 1 ) to get. 2 L ( 1 2 1 ) − L ( 1 1 ) = 8 4 7 × 3
Let L ( x ) = y = m × x + c where m is the slope of line representing L ( x )
Now since the line passes through origin so c = 0
Now y = m × x
Using this relation in the above equation we get m ( 1 2 1 × 2 − 1 1 ) = 8 4 7 × 3
m = 2 3 1 8 4 7 × 3
By this m = 1 1
