Correct answer: B

  1. We are given f(x)=ln⁡(1−x1+x),∣x∣<1.f(x)=\ln\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right), \quad |x|<1.f(x)=ln(1+x1−x​),∣x∣<1.

We need to find f(2x1+x2).f\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right).f(1+x22x​).

  1. Substitute t=2x1+x2t=\dfrac{2x}{1+x^2}t=1+x22x​ into the definition of fff: f(2x1+x2)=ln⁡(1−2x1+x21+2x1+x2).f\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right)=\ln\left(\frac{1-\frac{2x}{1+x^2}}{1+\frac{2x}{1+x^2}}\right).f(1+x22x​)=ln(1+1+x22x​1−1+x22x​​).

  2. Simplify numerator and denominator inside the logarithm: 1−2x1+x2=1+x2−2x1+x2=(1−x)21+x2,1-\frac{2x}{1+x^2}=\frac{1+x^2-2x}{1+x^2}=\frac{(1-x)^2}{1+x^2},1−1+x22x​=1+x21+x2−2x​=1+x2(1−x)2​, 1+2x1+x2=1+x2+2x1+x2=(1+x)21+x2.1+\frac{2x}{1+x^2}=\frac{1+x^2+2x}{1+x^2}=\frac{(1+x)^2}{1+x^2}.1+1+x22x​=1+x21+x2+2x​=1+x2(1+x)2​.

So, 1−2x1+x21+2x1+x2=(1−x)21+x2(1+x)21+x2=(1−x)2(1+x)2.\frac{1-\frac{2x}{1+x^2}}{1+\frac{2x}{1+x^2}}=\frac{\frac{(1-x)^2}{1+x^2}}{\frac{(1+x)^2}{1+x^2}}=\frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x)^2}.1+1+x22x​1−1+x22x​​=1+x2(1+x)2​1+x2(1−x)2​​=(1+x)2(1−x)2​.

  1. Therefore, f(2x1+x2)=ln⁡((1−x)2(1+x)2).f\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right)=\ln\left(\frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x)^2}\right).f(1+x22x​)=ln((1+x)2(1−x)2​).

Using ln⁡(a2)=2ln⁡∣a∣\ln(a^2)=2\ln|a|ln(a2)=2ln∣a∣, and since ∣x∣<1|x|<1∣x∣<1, we have 1−x>01-x>01−x>0 and 1+x>01+x>01+x>0, so ln⁡((1−x)2(1+x)2)=2ln⁡(1−x1+x).\ln\left(\frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x)^2}\right)=2\ln\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right).ln((1+x)2(1−x)2​)=2ln(1+x1−x​).

Hence, f(2x1+x2)=2f(x).f\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right)=2f(x).f(1+x22x​)=2f(x).

  1. Now evaluate the options:
  • A: 2f(x2)2f(x^2)2f(x2) — not equal in general.
  • B: 2f(x)2f(x)2f(x) — correct.
  • C: (f(x))2(f(x))^2(f(x))2 — incorrect.
  • D: −2f(x)-2f(x)−2f(x) — incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
