Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that f: is a differentiable function which satisfies f0=0.

It is required to show that f' :  is constant function if and only if fx+y=fx+fy for all x, y.

Suppose if f' :  is constant function.

Then it is required to prove that  fx+y=fx+fy for all x, y.

Since f' :  is constant function, f'x=a for all x.

Integrating on both sides with respect to x will give

f(x)=ax+b         ...... (1)

where b is the integration constant.

Given that the function satisfies f0=0.

Substituting x=0 in (1) will give

f(0)=a0+b     0=0+b     0=b

Thus the integration constant b=0.

Then (1) becomes f(x)=ax

Now for all x, y,

f(x+y)=ax+y

            =ax+ay

            =fx+fy

Hence proved that if  f' :  is constant function, then fx+y=fx+fy for all x, y.        .......... (A)
