AMC 12 late, AIME early
Combinatorics Difficulty 4.9 Find the answer

Let f(x)f(x) be a function defined on R\mathbf{R}. If f(x)+x2f(x) + x^2 is an odd function, and f(x)+2xf(x) + 2^x is an even function, then the value of f(1)f(1) is \qquad

Official solution

According to the problem, {f(1)+1=f(1)1,f(1)+12=f(1)+2{f(1)+f(1)=2,f(1)f(1)=32f(1)=74\left\{\begin{array}{l}f(-1)+1=-f(1)-1, \\ f(-1)+\frac{1}{2}=f(1)+2\end{array} \Rightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{l}f(-1)+f(1)=-2, \\ f(-1)-f(1)=\frac{3}{2}\end{array} \Rightarrow f(1)=-\frac{7}{4}\right.\right..
