Let x be any real, and y=0.
Then f(x+0) = f(x*0)

=> f(x) = f(0) for all real x.
Hence the function is a constant function.

Then f(x+0) = f(x*0)

=> f(x) = f(0) for all real x.
Hence the function is a constant function. BECAUSE IT IS A PROPERTY OF CONSTANT FUNCTION.

LET US TAKE Y=0 , SUBSTITUTE Y value in f(x+y)
then f(x+0)=f(x*0)
here for any real number of x,y we get f(x+y)=f(xy)= constant
