    If\[f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)\]for all real\[x\]and\[y,\] \[f(6)=3\]and\[f(0)=10,\]then\[f(6)\]is:

    A)  30                         

    B)         13

    C)  10                         

    D)         0

    E)  6

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f(0)=10\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}=10\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}=10\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(0)f(h)-f(0)}{h}=10\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(0)\left( \underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(h)-1}{h} \right)=10\] Now,     \[f(0)=f(0)f(0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(0)[1-f(0)]=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(0)=1\] \[\therefore \]  \[\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(h)-1}{h}=10\] Now,     \[f(6)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(6+h)-f(6)}{h}\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{f(h)-1}{h} \right)f(6)=10\times 3\]                 \[=30\]
