What is f(1)f(4) equal to?

Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow : The function f(x) satisfies f(\frac{x}{y})=\frac{f(x)}{f(y)} for all positive real values of x and y, and f(2)=3.

  1. A. 4
  2. B. 8
  3. C. 9
  4. D. 18

Correct Answer: C. 9

Explanation

Using f(x) = x^k with 2^k = 3, we find f(1) = 1^k = 1 and f(4) = 4^k = (2^k)^2 = 3^2 = 9. Their product is 1 \times 9 = 9.
