Let 3 f(x)+f ( 1 x )= 1 x +1 What is f(x) equal to?
Options
- A1 8 x - x 8 + 1 4
- B3 8 x - x 8 + 3 4
- C3 8 x + x 8 + 1 4
- D3 8 x - x 8 + 1 4
Correct answer
D. 3 8 x - x 8 + 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Given: 3 f(x)+f ( 1 x )= 1 x +1 ....(i) Replacing ( x ) by ( 1 x ) , we get 3 f ( 1 x )+f(x)=x+1 ....(ii) Now, (i) 3-(i i) , we get 8 f(x)= 3 x +3-x-1 f(x)= 3 8 x - x 8 + 1 4 ....(iii)
