Correct answer: D

  1. Interpret the functions

The notation means f(x)=210x+1,g(x)=310x−1.f(x)=2^{10}x+1, \qquad g(x)=3^{10}x-1.f(x)=210x+1,g(x)=310x−1.

We are given (f∘g)(x)=x.(f\circ g)(x)=x.(f∘g)(x)=x.

That is, f(g(x))=x.f(g(x))=x.f(g(x))=x.

  1. Compute f(g(x))f(g(x))f(g(x))

Since g(x)=310x−1,g(x)=3^{10}x-1,g(x)=310x−1, we substitute into fff: f(g(x))=210(310x−1)+1.f(g(x))=2^{10}(3^{10}x-1)+1.f(g(x))=210(310x−1)+1.

Now simplify: f(g(x))=210310x−210+1.f(g(x))=2^{10}3^{10}x-2^{10}+1.f(g(x))=210310x−210+1.

Since 210310=(2⋅3)10=6102^{10}3^{10}=(2\cdot 3)^{10}=6^{10}210310=(2⋅3)10=610, we get f(g(x))=610x−210+1.f(g(x))=6^{10}x-2^{10}+1.f(g(x))=610x−210+1.

Given f(g(x))=xf(g(x))=xf(g(x))=x, so 610x−210+1=x.6^{10}x-2^{10}+1=x.610x−210+1=x.

  1. Solve for xxx

Bring xxx terms together: 610x−x=210−1.6^{10}x-x=2^{10}-1.610x−x=210−1.

Factor: x(610−1)=210−1.x(6^{10}-1)=2^{10}-1.x(610−1)=210−1.

Hence, x=210−1610−1.x=\frac{2^{10}-1}{6^{10}-1}.x=610−1210−1​.

  1. Rewrite to compare with options

Observe that 610=210310.6^{10}=2^{10}3^{10}.610=210310. So x=210−1210310−1.x=\frac{2^{10}-1}{2^{10}3^{10}-1}.x=210310−1210−1​.

Now divide numerator and denominator by 3103^{10}310: x=210−1310210−3−10.x=\frac{\frac{2^{10}-1}{3^{10}}}{2^{10}-3^{-10}}.x=210−3−10310210−1​​.

This is not directly one of the options. Instead, divide numerator and denominator by 2103102^{10}3^{10}210310 or manipulate carefully:

Multiply option C denominator form: 1−3−10210−3−10.\frac{1-3^{-10}}{2^{10}-3^{-10}}.210−3−101−3−10​.

Now note 1−3−10=310−1310,1-3^{-10}=\frac{3^{10}-1}{3^{10}},1−3−10=310310−1​, so 1−3−10210−3−10=310−1310210310−1310=310−1210310−1.\frac{1-3^{-10}}{2^{10}-3^{-10}}=\frac{\frac{3^{10}-1}{3^{10}}}{\frac{2^{10}3^{10}-1}{3^{10}}}=\frac{3^{10}-1}{2^{10}3^{10}-1}.210−3−101−3−10​=310210310−1​310310−1​​=210310−1310−1​. This is not equal to our value.

Now check option B: 210−1210−3−10.\frac{2^{10}-1}{2^{10}-3^{-10}}.210−3−10210−1​. Multiply numerator and denominator by 3103^{10}310: (210−1)310210310−1,\frac{(2^{10}-1)3^{10}}{2^{10}3^{10}-1},210310−1(210−1)310​, again not equal.

Check option D: 1−2−10310−2−10.\frac{1-2^{-10}}{3^{10}-2^{-10}}.310−2−101−2−10​. Multiply numerator and denominator by 2102^{10}210: 210−1210310−1.\frac{2^{10}-1}{2^{10}3^{10}-1}.210310−1210−1​. This matches exactly.

Therefore, x=1−2−10310−2−10.x=\frac{1-2^{-10}}{3^{10}-2^{-10}}.x=310−2−101−2−10​.

  1. Correct option

Thus the correct answer is Option D.
