If f (x_1)-f (x_2)=f( x_1-x_2 1-x_1 x_2 ) for x_1, x_2 ∈(-1,1) ,...

If f\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}_1\right)-\mathrm{f}(x2)=f(x1−x21−x1x2)\left(\mathrm{x}_2\right)=\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}_1-\mathrm{x}_2}{1-\mathrm{x}_1 \mathrm{x}_2}\right) for x1,x2∈(−1,1)\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{x}_2 \in(-1,1), then what is f(x)\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) equal to?

Options

  1. Aln⁡(1−x1+x)\ln \left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)
  2. Bln⁡(2+x1−x)\ln \left(\frac{2+x}{1-x}\right)
  3. Ctan⁡−1(1−x1+x)\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)
  4. Dtan⁡−1(1+x1−x)\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)

Correct answer

A. ln⁡(1−x1+x)\ln \left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)

Step-by-step solution

f(x1)−f(x2)=f(x1−x21−x1x2)x1,x2∈(−1,1)\begin{aligned} & f\left(x_1\right)-f\left(x_2\right)=f\left(\frac{x_1-x_2}{1-x_1 x_2}\right) \\ & x_1, x_2 \in(-1,1) \end{aligned}thenthenf(x)=\log \frac{(1-x)}{(1+x)} \begin{gathered} f\left(x_1\right)=\log \frac{1-x_1}{1+x_1} \quad f\left(x_2\right)=\log \frac{1-x_2}{1+x_2} \\ f(x1)−f(x2)=log⁡1−x11+x1−log⁡1−x21+x2=log⁡(1−x1)(1+x1)×(1+x2)(1−x2)=log⁡(1−x1+x2−x1x2)(1+x1−x2−x1x2)=log⁡(1−x1x2)−(x1−x2)(1−x1x2)+(x1−x2)\begin{aligned} f\left(x_1\right)-f\left(x_2\right) & =\log \frac{1-x_1}{1+x_1}-\log \frac{1-x_2}{1+x_2} \\ & =\log \frac{\left(1-x_1\right)}{\left(1+x_1\right)} \times \frac{\left(1+x_2\right)}{\left(1-x_2\right)} \\ = & \log \frac{\left(1-x_1+x_2-x_1 x_2\right)}{\left(1+x_1-x_2-x_1 x_2\right)} \\ = & \log \frac{\left(1-x_1 x_2\right)-\left(x_1-x_2\right)}{\left(1-x_1 x_2\right)+\left(x_1-x_2\right)} \end{aligned}\end{gathered}=\log \frac{1-\left(\frac{x_1-x_2}{1-x_1 x_2}\right)}{1+\left(\frac{x_1-x_2}{1-x_1 x_2}\right)}f\left(x_1\right)-f\left(x_2\right)=f\left(\frac{x_1-x_2}{1-x_1 x_2}\right)$
