The even function of the following is

  1. A \(f(x)=\frac{a^x+a^{-x}}{a^x-a^{-x}}\)
  2. B \(f(x)=\frac{a^x+1}{a^x-1}\)
  3. C \(f(x)=x \cdot \frac{a^x-1}{a^x+1}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\log _2\left(\mathrm{x}+\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^2+1}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(f(x)=x \cdot \frac{a^x-1}{a^x+1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hints: \(f(-x)=(-x) \frac{a^{-x}-1}{a^{-x}+1}\) \(\begin{aligned} & =(-n) \frac{1-a^x}{1+a^x} \\ & =n \frac{\left(a^x-1\right)}{\left(a^x+1\right)}=f(x) \end{aligned}\)
