What conditions required for functions $f$ and $g$ for $int^{cx} f(t) , dt = int^{x} h(t) ,dt $ for all $xin...

suppose I have two functions $f$ and $g$ both mapping from $mathbb{R}$ to $mathbb{R}_{++}$.



I wonder what conditions do I need to impose on $f$ and $g$ so that
$$int^{cx}_{-infty} f(t) , dt = int^{x}_{-infty} h(t) ,dt, $$
for some constant $c$ and for all $xin mathbb{R}$.



One example this equation holds is that
$$f(t) = left{begin{array}{cc} 2t &text{if } t>0\
0 &text{otherwise} end{array} right. ~~g(t) = left{begin{array}{cc} 1/2t &text{if } t>0\
0 &text{otherwise} end{array} right.$$

Then, choose $c=1/4$.



Likewise, my guess is that $f(t)$ and $g(t)$ has to be linear(?) functions to hold my assertion. I wonder if my guess is correct or not.

          Use substitution $t mapsto ct$, so first integral becomes $int_{-infty}^x c f(ct), dt$.
          Then, since the equality is true for every $x$, it must be $c f(cx) = h(x)$ a.e.

            Use substitution $t mapsto ct$, so first integral becomes $int_{-infty}^x c f(ct), dt$.
            Then, since the equality is true for every $x$, it must be $c f(cx) = h(x)$ a.e.
