Suppose $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow(0, \infty)$ be a differentiable function such that $5 f(x+y)=f(x) \cdot f(y), \forall x, y \in \mathbb{R}$. If $f(3)=320$, then $\sum_\limits{n=0}^{5} f(n)$ is equal to :
Solution
<p>$5f(x + y) = f(x).f(y)$</p>
<p>$5f(3) = f(1).f(2)$</p>
<p>$5f(2) = {(f(1))^2}$</p>
<p>$f(10) = 5$</p>
<p>$f(1) = 20$</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow f(1).{{{{(f(1))}^2}} \over 5} = 1600$</p>
<p>$\sum\limits_{n = 0}^5 {f(n) = f(0) + 20 + 80 + 320 + 1280 + 5120}$</p>
<p>$= 1750 + 5120 = 6825$</p>
