    Which of the following function is even function            [RPET 2000]           

    A)            \[f(x)=\frac{{{a}^{x}}+1}{{{a}^{x}}-1}\]

    B)            \[f(x)=x\left( \frac{{{a}^{x}}-1}{{{a}^{x}}+1} \right)\]

    C)            \[f(x)=\frac{{{a}^{x}}-{{a}^{-x}}}{{{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}}}\]

    D)            \[f(x)=\sin x\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               In , \[f(-x)=\frac{{{a}^{-x}}+1}{{{a}^{-x}}-1}=\frac{1+{{a}^{x}}}{1-{{a}^{x}}}=-\frac{{{a}^{x}}+1}{{{a}^{x}}-1}=-f(x)\]            So, it is an odd function.            In , \[f(-x)=(-x)\frac{{{a}^{-x}}-1}{{{a}^{-x}}+1}=-x\frac{1-{{a}^{x}}}{1+{{a}^{x}}}=x\frac{{{a}^{x}}-1}{{{a}^{x}}+1}=f(x)\]            So, it is an even function.            In , \[f(-x)=-\sin \left[ \log (x+\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}) \right]\]            So, it is an odd function.            In , \[f(-x)=\sin (-x)=-\sin x=-f(x)\]            So, it is an odd function.
