- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- We are given
We need to find .
- Define the transformation Then the given relation becomes f(x)+f(T(x))=1+x. \tag{1}
Now compute repeated applications of :
So the three values cycle as
- Write the functional equation for these three inputs.
From (1):
For : f(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)=1+x. \tag{2}
For : f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)+f\left(\frac{x-1}{x}\right)=1+\frac{1}{1-x}. \tag{3}
For : f\left(\frac{x-1}{x}\right)+f(x)=1+\frac{x-1}{x}. \tag{4}
- Now substitute .
The cycle is:
So equations (2), (3), (4) become:
f(2)+f(-1)=3, \tag{5} Better to directly use the original formula carefully:
For , f(-1)+f\left(\frac12\right)=0. \tag{6}
For , f\left(\frac12\right)+f(2)=\frac32. \tag{7}
- Let Then from (5), (6), (7):
a+b=3, \tag{8} b+c=0, \tag{9} c+a=\frac32. \tag{10}
Add (8) and (10): Using (9), , so
Hence,
- Checking options:
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore the correct answer is A.
