If f(x) is a polynomial function satisfying `f(x)f(y)=f(x)+f(y)+f(xy)-2` for all real x and y and f(3) = 10, then `(f(4))/(17)` is equal to

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
`f(x)f(y)=f(x)+f(y)+f(xy)-2" and "f(3)=10`
for `x=1,y=3impliesf(1)=2`
`therefore` for `xy=1 " of "y=(1)/(x)`
`=f(x)f((1)/(x))=f(x)+f((1)/(x))`
`implies f(x)=1pmx^(2)`
`because f(3)=10impliesf(x)=1+x^(2)`
