ANSWERS: There are two functions. Irrational functions.
f(x) = [x + √(x² - 48) ] / 2 and [x - √(x² - 48) ] / 2
======== PROOF -=====
We are given a function f(x) , but the definition of f(x) is not known. We have to find that.
We are given that integral limits from x=0 to x= 1, of f(x) * (x - f(x)) dx is equal to 12. we have to find f(x) such that it is true.
Let us choose a function f(x) such that the product :
f(x) * [ x - f(x) ] = 12 always and is a constant.
Then the integrand is always constant. So after integration we get :
∫ 12 dx = 12 x .
Evaluated between x=0 and x= 1, we get the RHS , ie, 12.
====> So we need to find f(x) such that
f(x) * [ x - f(x) ] = 12
or, ( f(x) )² - x * f(x) + 12 = 0
This is a quadratic in f(x) . Ie., f(x) is a variable. x is a coefficient.
Roots are: f(x) = [ x + √{x² - 48 } ] / 2
This is our function. ANSWER.

Hope it is clear. I have explained in great detail.
