Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{\left(1-x^8\right)\left(2 x^8+3\right)}{5 x^8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the equation \(2 f(x^2) + 3 f\left(\dfrac{1}{x^2}\right) = x^2 - 1\). Let \(t = x^2\). Then the equation becomes \(2 f(t) + 3 f\left(\dfrac{1}{t}\right) = t - 1\) for all \(t > 0\). Replacing \(t\) with \(\dfrac{1}{t}\), we get…
