A function f : R ➔ R satisfies the condition x 2

~1
f(x ) + f(1 - x) = 2x - x 4 . Then f(x ) is:
(A ) - x2 - 1 (B) - x2 + 1
(C) x 2 - 1 (D) - x4 + 1

So lutio n
Method 1 : (usual but lengthy)x' f(x) + f(1 - x) =
2x- x• ..... (1)
replace x by (1 - x) in equation (1) (1 - x)2 f(1 -
x)+ f(x) = 2 (1- x) - (1 -x )' ... ..(2)
eliminate f(1- x) by equation (1) and (2)we get
f(x ) = 1- x'
Method2 :
Since R.H.S. is polynomial of 4th degree and also
by options considerf(x ) =ax'+ bx + c
x' f(x) + f(1 - x) = 2x - x•
⇒x 2 (ax 2 + bx +c) + a (1-x)' + b (1- x) + c=2x

by comparing coefficients
a=-1
b=O
c= 1
f(x ) =- x' + 1

Letf(x ) = lx -11 , then

(A)f(x2 )=(f(x))2 (B) f(x+ y) =f(x)+f(y)
(C) f(lxl) = lf(x)I (D) none of these

Solution
f(x ) = lx -1 1
f(x 2 ) = lx 2 -1 1 and f2(x ) = Ix -1 12
f(x 2 ) = f2(x)
f(x + y) = Ix + y - 11 and f(x ) + f(y) =
lx -11 + IY-11
f(x + y) = f(x ) + f(y)
f(lxl) = llxl - 11 and lf(x )I = 11x - 111

1+ x 3x + x
Givenf(x) = In ~ andg(x) = + x 2 .
1 3
Then f(g(x)) is equal to
(A) - f(x) (B) 3f(x)
(C) [f(x)]' (D) none of these

Solution

1+ ~
1 + g( X) -----1.±.lL
f(g(x )) =ln 1 _ (x) =ln _ ~ =
9 1 2
1+ 3x

~ =3 1n ~ -
ln (1-x )J 1-x -3f(x ).

Hence (B) is the correct answer.
