Let $f: \mathbb{R}-\{0\} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying $f\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)}$ for all $x, y, f(y) \neq 0$. If $f^{\prime}(1)=2024$, then
Solution
<p>$f\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)}$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1)=2024 \\
& \mathrm{f}(1)=1
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Partially differentiating w. r. t. x</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{y}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})} \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) \\
& \mathrm{y} \rightarrow \mathrm{x} \\
& \mathrm{f}^{\prime}(1) \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})} \\
& 2024 \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{xf}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x}) \Rightarrow \mathrm{xf}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})-2024 \mathrm{~f}(\mathrm{x})=0
\end{aligned}$$</p>
