Correct answer: A
-
We need to find where
-
First, simplify the function in a useful way.
Divide numerator and denominator by :
Now compute : Divide numerator and denominator by : f(1-x)=\frac{5^{-x}}{5^{-x}+1}=rac{1}{1+5^x}.
Also, f(x)=\frac{5^x}{5^x+5}=rac{5^{x-1}}{5^{x-1}+1}=rac{1}{1+5^{1-x}}.
So, But an easier direct check is: Let . Then f(x)=\frac{t}{t+5},\qquad f(1-x)=\frac{5/t}{5/t+5}=rac{1}{t+1}. Hence This is not immediately , so let us instead rewrite correctly:
Since put . Then Now But since , we have . Therefore Thus,
So the key identity is:
- Now look at the terms of the series: There are terms.
Pair them as: and so on.
Thus the terms pair up to give each.
- Since there are terms, one middle term remains unpaired: So,
The remaining terms make pairs, each summing to . Therefore,
- Hence the correct option is
