Consider a function $f$ satisfying $f(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})=f(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})$ where $x , y$ are positive integers, and $f(1)=2$. If $f(\mathrm{a}+1)+f(\mathrm{a}+2)+\ldots \ldots+f(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{n})=$ $16\left(2^{n}-1\right)$ then a is equal to

For all real values of x, the range of the function f(x) = $\frac{x^2+2x+4}{2x^2+4x+9}$ is

Let $f$ be a function such that $f(mn) = f(m)f(n)$ for every positive integers m and n. If $f(1)$, $f(2)$ and $f(3)$ are positive integers, $f(1) < f(2)$, and $f(24) = 54$, then $f(18)$ equals
