⚠️ Retired — specification defect

The Lean statement below does not encode the problem shown on this page, so its Disproved status carries no information about that problem. Do not import this node or use it as a dependency.

Given a function $f$ of a real variable that satisfies the equation defined by $x\cdot f(2-x)-2f(x) = x^2 + 1\forall x\in\mathbb{R}$ Determine $f(x),$ in terms of $x.$

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem lean_workbook_plus_67156 (f : ℝ → ℝ) (hf : ∀ x, x * f (2 - x) - 2 * f x = x^2 + 1) : ∀ x, f x = (x^2 + 2) / (x - 2)   :=  by sorry

Replace the invented formula by f(x)=−(x³−2x²+5x+2)/(x²−2x+4); retain the given functional equation and ask for this unique function.

The recorded counterexample refutes the statement as encoded. It says nothing about the problem shown above, which is a different proposition.

Proposed corrected statement

Replace the invented formula by f(x)=−(x³−2x²+5x+2)/(x²−2x+4); retain the given functional equation and ask for this unique function.
