The product of all the values of a, such that f(a)=f(2a) is -1/2

Functions and expressions

Given the function below;

f(x)=1/x + x

f(a) = 1/a + a

f(2a) = 1/2a  + 2a

If f(a) = f(2a), hence;

1/a + a = 1/2a + 2a

Collect the like terms

1/a - 1/2a = 2a - a

2-1/2a = a

1/2a = a

Cross multiply

2a² = 1

a² = 1/2

a = ±√1/2

The values of a are √1/2 and -√1/2

Product = -√1/2 * √1/2

Product = -1/2

Hence the product of all the values of a, such that f(a)=f(2a) is -1/2
