Algebra Level 3

For any real number α \alpha ,define the function f α ( x ) = x α f_\alpha(x) =\lfloor x\alpha \rfloor . Let n n be a positive integer. Does there exists an α \alpha such that for 1 k n , f α k ( n 2 ) = n 2 k = f ( α ) k ( n 2 ) 1 \le k \le n,f_{\alpha}^k(n^2)=n^2-k=f_{(\alpha)^k}(n^2) ?

When a problem says " Bonus Find α \alpha in terms of k , n k,n "

it's pretty clear that one can be found... 🤔
