Let f(x)=ax+b  f(xf(y)+x)=xy+f(x)  ⇒a(xf(y)+x)+b=xy+ax+b  ⇒ax(ay+b)+ax=xy+ax  ⇒ax(ay+b)=xy  y→x  ⇒ax(ax+b)=x^2         a^2 x^2 +bx=x^2       a^2 =1∧ b=0       a=±1 ∧ b=0  f(x)=ax+b=(±1)x+0   determinant (( determinant (((f(x)=x   ∣   f(x)=−x)))))  Verification:  (1) f(x)=x  f(xf(y)+x)=xy+f(x)  xf(y)+x=xy+f(x)  ⇒xy+x=xy+x (✓)  (2) f(x)=−x  f(xf(y)+x)=xy+f(x)  ⇒−xf(y)−x=xy−x  ⇒−xf(y)−x=xy−x  ⇒−x(−y)−x=xy−x  ⇒xy−x=xy−x (✓)

fine!  but how is your argument that f(x) is  a linear function?

sir, I′ve no argument! Even about     the function to be polynomial! But there′s   possibility of being linear.
