Problem

A function f(x)f(x) is differentiable on R\mathbb{R}, with

f(x)+f(x)=x2for all x,f(x)>xon (0,+).f(-x) + f(x) = x^2 \quad \text{for all } x, \qquad f'(x) > x \quad \text{on } (0, +\infty).

If

f(2a)f(a)22a,f(2 - a) - f(a) \geqslant 2 - 2a,

find the range of possible values of the real number aa.
