The function f ( x ) = sec log x + 1 + x 2 is
Options
- Aan odd function
- Ban even function
- Cneither an odd nor an even function
- Da constant function
Correct answer
B. an even function
Step-by-step solution
f − x = sec log − x + 1 + x 2 = sec log x + 1 + x 2 - 1 ∵ 1 + x 2 - x = 1 1 + x 2 + x = sec − log x + 1 + x 2 = sec log x + 1 + x 2 ∵ sec − θ = sec θ = f ( x ) Hence f ( x ) is an even function.
