bruh

#

f(x) = ax

#

but how

#

f(69) = 17*69 = 1173

#

it looks linear

#

one tip is that whenever u see a functional eqn , try basic functions

#

like f(x) = ax or x+c

hm

#

it finally clicked

#

ill leave the full solution here if anyone is interested

#

set y = 0

#

you should get xf(x) = f(x^2)

#

divide the input by x

#

=> xf(1) = f(x)

#

=> f(x) = f(1)x

#

f(1) is constant

#

so the function is linear

#

f(17) = f(1) * 17 = 289

#

we quickly derive that f(1) = 17

#

and conclude

ohhh

#

damm smart

vast plume
#

f(69) = f(1) * 69 = 1173
