If f x + 2 f 1 x = 3 x , x ≠ 0 , and S = x ∈ R : f x = f - x , then S
Options
- AContains exactly two elements
- BContains more than two elements
- CIs an empty set
- DContains exactly one element
Correct answer
A. Contains exactly two elements
Step-by-step solution
f x + 2 .   f 1 x = 3 x           … 1 Replace x by 1 x , we get f 1 x + 2 f x = 3 x             … 2 From 1 and 2 3 f x = 6 x - 3 x f x = 2 x - x ∵ f x = f - x Therefore 2 x - x =   - 2 x + x ⇒   4 x = 2 x ⇒   2 = x 2 ⇒   x =   ±   2 Contains exactly two elements
