MCQ
If $\text{f(x)}=\frac{2^{\text{x}}+2^{-\text{x}}}{2},$ then f(x + y)f(x - y) is equal to:
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})-\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})-\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$

Answer

  1. $\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f(2}\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$

Solution:

Given,

$\text{f(x)}=\frac{2^{\text{x}}+2^{-\text{x}}}{2}$

Now,

$\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\Big(\frac{2^{\text{x}+\text{y}}+2^{-\text{x}-\text{y}}}{2}\Big)\Big(\frac{2^{\text{x}-\text{y}}+2^{-\text{x}+\text{y}}}{2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{4}\big(2^{2\text{x}}+2^{-2\text{y}}+2^{2\text{y}}+2^{-2\text{x}}\big)$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{2^{2\text{x}}+2^{-2\text{x}}}{2}+\frac{2^{2\text{y}}+2^{-2\text{y}}}{2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}(\text{x}+\text{y})\text{f}(\text{x}-\text{y})=\frac{1}{2}\big[\text{f}(2\text{x})+\text{f}(2\text{y})\big]$
