In this short note, a mathematical proposition on a functional equation for f(xy)=xf(y) + yf(x)for x,y [does not equal] 0, which is encountered in calculus, is generalized step by step. These steps involve continuity, differentiability, a functional equation, an ordinary differential linear equation of the first order, and relationships between them.
