$ g(x+y) = \frac{g(x)+g(y)}{1-g(x)g(y)} $
$ \lim_{h \to 0} g(h) = 0 $
$ \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{g(h)}{h}= 1 $
a. Show that $ g(0) = 0 $.
b. Show that $ g'(x) = 1 + [g(x)]^2 $
c. Find $ g(x) $ by solving the differential equation in part (b).
Anyone know where to start? I'm defeated at every turn; I can't break the function into even/odd portion that have any use and none of the laws of exponentials/logarithms seem to be very useful. The only fact I can pull out is that $ g'(0)=1 $ which can be determined through L'Hopitals.
