If f(x)=x^3-1 x^3 , show that f(x)+f (1 x )=0 - Vidyadip

Question

If $\text{f(x)}=\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{\text{x}^3},$ show that $\text{f(x)}+\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=0$

Answer

We have, $\text{f(x)}=\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}\ ....(\text{i})$ Now, $\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^3-\frac{1}{\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)^3}$ $=\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}}$ $\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}-\text{x}^3\ ....(\text{ii})$ Adding equation (i) and equation (ii), we get $\text{f(x)}+\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=\Big(\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}\Big)+\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}-\text{x}^3\Big)$ $=\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}+\frac{1}{\text{x}^3}-\text{x}^3$ $=0$ $\therefore\ \text{f(x)}+\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)=0$ Hence, proved.
