Let f(x)= 1 1+x^2 , then
Options
- Af(x, y)=f(x) f(y)
- Bf(x, y) f(x) f(y)
- Cf(x, y) f(x) f(y)
- Df(x, y)=f(x)-f(y)
Correct answer
B. f(x, y) f(x) f(y)
Step-by-step solution
Given that f(x)= 1 1+x^2 f(y)= 1 1+y^2 and f(x, y)= 1 1+x^2 y^2 Now, f(x, y)=f(x) f(y) 1 1+x^2 y^2 = 1 1+x^2 1 1+y^2 1 1+x^2 y^2 = 1 (1+x^2 ) (1+y^2 ) On squaring both sides, we get 1 1+x^2 y^2 = 1 (1+x^2 ) (1+y^2 ) 1 1+x^2 y^2 1 (1+x^2 ) (1+y^2 ) [ 1+x^2 y^2 1+x^2+y^2+x^2 y^2 ] Hence, f(x, y) f(x) f(y)
