From the given expression of f(x+y), we can see that 3 f ( n x ) = [ 3 f ( x ) ]^n. This implies that f(x)=3 b x , where b is a constant to be determined. From the condition f'(0)=6, we get b= e 2 .
Given that: f is dufferentiable over x , y ∈ R , f ( 0 ) = 3 , f ′ ( 0 ) = 6 , and that
f ( x + y ) f ( 2 x ) 2 f ′ ( 2 x ) f ′ ( 2 x ) f ′ ( 2 x ) f ( 2 x ) f ′ ( 2 x ) ⟹ f ′ ( x ) f ( x ) f ( 0 ) f ′ ( x ) ⟹ f ( x ) f ( 1 ) = 3 1 f ( x ) f ( y ) = 3 1 ( f ( x ) ) 2 = 3 2 f ( x ) f ′ ( x ) = 3 1 f ( x ) f ′ ( x ) = f ( x ) f ( 2 x ) f ′ ( x ) = f ( x ) f ′ ( x ) = k = k f ( x ) = a e k x = a = 3 = 3 k e k x = 3 e 2 x = 3 e 2 ≈ 2 2 . 1 6 7 Putting y = x Differentiate both sides Note that f ( 2 x ) = 3 1 ( f ( x ) ) 2 Divide both sides by f ( 2 x ) where k is a constant. Solving the differential equation where a is a constant. As f ′ ( 0 ) = 6 ⟹ k = 2

Differentiating the given relation with respect to x we get
3 f ′ ( x + y ) = f ′ ( x ) f ( y )
Putting x = 0 we get
f ′ ( y ) = 2 f ( y )
This Differential Equation can be solved easily and using f ( 0 ) = 3 we finally get the function
f ( x ) = 3 e 2 x
So, f ( 1 ) = 3 e 2 = 2 2 . 1 6 7 1 6 8 . . .
