Answer

The possible solutions are: $$f(x)=10e^{x}~~\text{or}~~f(x)=-10e^{x}$$

Work Step by Step

Differentiate both sides with respect to $x$: $$2f(x)f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{0}^{x}[(f(t))^{2}+(f'(t))^{2}]dt\right)$$ Using the $FTC$ it follows: $$2f(x)f'(x)=(f(x))^{2}+(f'(x))^{2}$$ $$(f(x))^{2}-2f(x)f'(x)+((f'(x))^{2}=0$$ $$(f(x)-f'(x))^{2}=0$$ $$f'(x)=f(x)$$ $$\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}=1$$ $$\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}dx=\int1 dx$$ $$\ln(|f(x)|)=x+c$$ $$|f(x)|=e^{x+c}$$ $$f(x)=e^{x+c}~~\text{or}~~f(x)=-e^{x+c}$$ From the given equation when $x=0$ it follows: $$(f(0))^{2}=100+0=100$$ $$f(0)=10~~\text{or}~~f(0)=-10$$ when $f(x) \gt 0$ it follows: $$f(0)=e^{0+c}=10$$ This implies that $c=\ln(10)$ when $f(x) \lt 0$ it follows: $$f(0)=-e^{0+c}=-10$$ This implies that $c=\ln(10)$ Therefore, the possible solutions are: $$f(x)=e^{x+\ln(10)}~~\text{or}~~f(x)=-e^{x+\ln(10)}$$ $$f(x)=10e^{x}~~\text{or}~~f(x)=-10e^{x}$$
