If f ( x ) = cos ( ln x ) , then f ( x ) ⋅ f ( y ) − 1 2 [ f ( x y ) + f ( x y ) ] is equal to
Options
- A− 1
- B1 2
- C− 2
- D0
Correct answer
D. 0
Step-by-step solution
Given, f ( x ) = cos ( ln x ) Hence, f ( x ) ⋅ f ( y ) − 1 2 [ f ( x y ) + f ( x y ) ] = cos ( ln x ) ⋅ cos ( ln y ) − 1 2 [ cos ( ln x − ln y ) + cos ( ln x + ln y ) ] = cos ( ln x ) ⋅ cos ( ln y ) − 1 2 [ ( 2 cos ( ln x ) ⋅ cos ( ln y ) ] = cos ( ln x ) ⋅ cos ( ln y ) − cos ( ln x ) ⋅ cos ( ln y ) = 0
