If a function $f(a) = max (a, 0)$ then the smallest integer value of $x$ for which the equation $f(x - 3) + 2f(x + 1) = 8$ holds true is _______.

Let $f$ and $g$ be two functions defined by $f(x) = |x + |x||$ and $g(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ for $x \neq 0$. If $f(a) + g(f(a)) = \frac{13}{6}$ for some real $a$, then the maximum possible value of$f(g(a))$ is:

If $f\left(x^{2}+f(y)\right)=x f(x)+y$ for all non-negative integers $x$ and $y$, then the value of $[f(0)]^{2}+f(0)$ equals _________.

The function $f(x) = \dfrac{x^3 - 5x^2 - 8x}{3}$ is

Let $A=\{1,2,3\}$ and $B=\{a, b\}$. Assuming all relations from set $A$ to set $B$ are equally likely, what is the probability that a relation from $A$ to $B$ is also a function?

If $f(1) = 1$ and $f(n) = 3n - f(n - 1)$ for all integers $n > 1$ , then the value of $f(2023)$ is

Suppose that a real-valued function $f(x)$ of real numbers satisfies $f(x + xy) = f(x) + f(xy$) for all real $x, y,$ and that $f(2020) = 1$. Compute $f(2021)$.
