Question

If the function $F : R \to R$ defined by $f (x) = \frac{3^{x} + 3^{- x}}{2},$ then show that $f (x + y) + f (x - y) = 2 f (x) f (y)$

Open in App

Solution

$f (x) = \frac{1}{2} [3^{x} + \frac{1}{3^{x}}]$

$f (x + y) = \frac{1}{2} [3^{x} {.3}^{y} + \frac{1}{3^{x} {.3}^{y}}]$

$f (x - y) = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{3^{x}}{3^{y}} + \frac{3^{y}}{3^{x}}]$

$f (x + y) + f (x - y) = \frac{1}{2} [3^{x} {.3}^{y} + \frac{3^{x}}{3^{y}} + \frac{1}{3^{x} {.3}^{y}} + \frac{3^{y}}{3^{x}}]$

$= \frac{1}{2} [3^{x} [3^{y} + \frac{1}{3^{y}}] + \frac{1}{3^{x}} [\frac{1}{3^{y}} + 3^{y}]]$

$= \frac{1}{2} [(3^{x} + \frac{1}{3^{x}}) (3^{y} + \frac{1}{3^{y}})]$

$= 2. f (x) . f (y)$
