The values of constants a and b so that
are
a = 0, b = 0
a = 1, b = - 1
a = - 1, b = 1
a = 2, b = - 1
If g(x) is a polynomial satisfying g(x) g(y) = g(x) + g(y) + g(xy) - 2 for all real x and y and g(2) = 5, then g(x) is

Since, g(x) g(y) = g(x) + g(y) + g(xy) - 2
Now, at x = 0, y = 2, we get
g(0) g(2) = g(0) + g(2) + g(0) - 2
g(x) is given in a polynomial and by the relation given g(x) cannot be linear.
Let g(x) = x2 + k
