Problem Statement

Let $\mathbb{R}$ denote the set of all real numbers. Let $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a function such that $f(x) > 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$ , and $f(x + y) = f(x)f(y)$ for all $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$ .Let the real numbers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{50}$ be in an arithmetic progression. If $f(a_{31}) = 64f(a_{25})$ , and

\sum_{i=1}^{50} f(a_i) = 3(2^{25} + 1),

find the value of

\sum_{i=6}^{30} f(a_i).

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The function $f$ satisfies $f(x + y) = f(x)f(y)$ and $f(x) > 0$ , implying $f(x) = b^x$ for some $b > 0$ . Given $f(a_{31}) = 64f(a_{25})$ , we find $b^{6d} = 64$ , leading to $b = 2^{1/d}$ . Thus, $f(x) = 2^{x/d}$ .

The arithmetic progression terms are $a_i = a + (i-1)d$ . Therefore, $f(a_i) = 2^{(a + (i-1)d)/d} = 2^{a/d + i - 1} = 2^k \cdot 2^{i-1}$ where $k = a/d$ .

The total sum $\sum_{i=1}^{50} f(a_i) = 2^k (2^{50} - 1) = 3(2^{25} + 1)$ . Solving for $2^k$ :

2^k = \frac{3(2^{25} + 1)}{2^{50} - 1} = \frac{3}{2^{25} - 1}

The sum from $i=6$ to $30$ is a geometric series with 25 terms starting from $i=6$ :

\sum_{i=6}^{30} f(a_i) = 2^{k+5} \sum_{j=0}^{24} 2^j = 2^{k+5} (2^{25} - 1)

Substituting $2^k = \frac{3}{2^{25} - 1}$ :

2^{k+5} (2^{25} - 1) = 32 \cdot \frac{3}{2^{25} - 1} \cdot (2^{25} - 1) = 96

Verification of the key steps

Given the derived formula for the sum from i=6 to 30

k = 3 / (225 - 1) sum_6_to_30 = 32 * k * (225 - 1) print(int(sum_6_to_30)) [/PYTHON]

[THOUGHT] The Python code confirms the sum from $i=6$ to $30$ is 96. Thus, the final answer is $\boxed{96}$ . </think>
