Dear student, above answer is wrong. Correct answer is:
On putting y=0, we see that f(0)(1+f(x))= 0
Since f(x) is non constant, f(0)= 0
Now, we can write
f(x+y)-f(x)= f(y)(1+f(x))
Or Lt y tends to 0 [f(x+y)-f(x)]/y = (1+f(x))*Lt y tends to 0 [f(y)-f(0)]/(y-0)
Or f'(x)= f'(0)(1+f(x))= k(1+f(x))
This differential equation can be easily solved by integrating as
∫f'(x)dx/(1+f(x))= ∫kdx
Or ln(1+f(x))= kx+c
Or f(x)= Ae^kx-1
Put x=0 to get f(0)= A-1
Or A=1
So, f(x)= e^kx - 1
KINDLY APPROVE :))
