For x ∈ R, x ≠ 0, x ≠ 1, let f _ 0 (x) = (1)/(1 - x) and f _ n + 1...

For x∈R,x≠0,x≠1,x \in R, x \ne 0, x \ne 1, let f0(x)=11−x{f}_{0}\left(x\right) = \dfrac{1}{1 - x} and fn+1(x)=f0(fn(x)),n=0,1,2,…..{f}_{n + 1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0}\left({f}_{n}\left(x\right)\right), n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots . . Then the value of f100(3)+f1(23)+f2(32){f}_{100}\left(3\right) + {f}_{1}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) + {f}_{2}\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) is equal to :

Options

  1. A83\dfrac{8}{3}
  2. B43\dfrac{4}{3}
  3. C53\dfrac{5}{3}
  4. D13\dfrac{1}{3}

Correct answer

C. 53\dfrac{5}{3}

Step-by-step solution

f1(x)=f0+1(x)=f0(f0(x))=11−11−x=x−1x{f}_{1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0 + 1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0}\left({f}_{0}\left(x\right)\right) = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{1}{1 - x}} = \dfrac{x - 1}{x}

f2(x)=f1+1(x)=f0(f1(x))=11−x−1x=x{f}_{2}\left(x\right) = {f}_{1 + 1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0}\left({f}_{1}\left(x\right)\right) = \dfrac{1}{1 - \dfrac{x - 1}{x}} = x

f3(x)=f2+1(x)=f0(f2(x))=f0(x)=11−x{f}_{3}\left(x\right) = {f}_{2 + 1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0}\left({f}_{2}\left(x\right)\right) = {f}_{0}\left(x\right) = \dfrac{1}{1 - x}

f4(x)=f3+1(x)=f0(f3(x))=x−1x{f}_{4}\left(x\right) = {f}_{3 + 1}\left(x\right) = {f}_{0}\left({f}_{3}\left(x\right)\right) = \dfrac{x - 1}{x}

∴∴ f0=f3=f6=…=11−x{f}_{0} = {f}_{3} = {f}_{6} = \ldots = \dfrac{1}{1 - x}

f1=f4=f7=…=x−1x{f}_{1} = {f}_{4} = {f}_{7} = \ldots = \dfrac{x - 1}{x}

f2=f5=f8=…=x{f}_{2} = {f}_{5} = {f}_{8} = \ldots = x

f100(3)=3−13=23,{f}_{100}\left(3\right) = \dfrac{3 - 1}{3} = \dfrac{2}{3},

f1(23)=23−123=−12{f}_{1}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) = \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3} - 1}{\dfrac{2}{3}} = - \dfrac{1}{2}

f2(32)=32{f}_{2}\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = \dfrac{3}{2}

∴∴ f100(3)+f1(23)+f2(32)=53{f}_{100}\left(3\right) + {f}_{1}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right) + {f}_{2}\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = \dfrac{5}{3}
