If f(x) = x - 3 x + 1 , then f[f f(x) ] equals - Vidyadip

MCQ

If $f(x) = \frac{{x - 3}}{{x + 1}}$, then $f[f\{ f(x)\} ]$ equals

✓
$x$
B
$-x$
C
$\frac{x}{2}$
D
$ - \frac{1}{x}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$x$

a
(a) $f\,[f(x)] = \frac{{f(x) - 3}}{{f(x) + 1}}$

$ = \frac{{\left( {\frac{{x - 3}}{{x + 1}}} \right) - 3}}{{\left( {\frac{{x - 3}}{{x + 1}}} \right) + 1}} = \frac{{x - 3 - 3x - 3}}{{x - 3 + x + 1}} = \frac{{3 + x}}{{1 - x}}$

Now $f\,[f(f(x))] = f\,\left( {\frac{{3 + x}}{{1 - x}}} \right)$

$ = \frac{{\left( {\frac{{x - 3}}{{x + 1}}} \right) - 3}}{{\left( {\frac{{x - 3}}{{x + 1}}} \right) + 1}} = \frac{{x - 3 - 3x - 3}}{{x - 3 + x + 1}} = x$
