Prove the Form of a Function

$begingroup$


I asked a related question in oder to tackle this problem by myself, but still couldn't find a way to solve it despite a lot of efforts.



A function $f : R^2 to R$ satisfies $f(tx,ty) = t^2f(x, y)$ for all $t,x,y in R$. Assuming that
$f$ is continuously twice differentiable, show that:
$$
f(x,y) = ax^2 + bxy + cy^2
$$
for some
constants $a,b,c in R$.
