    If \[f(x)=\log \left[ \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right]\], then \[f\left[ \frac{2x}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right]\] is equal to [MP PET 1999; RPET 1999; UPSEAT 2003]

    A)            \[{{[f(x)]}^{2}}\]

    B)            \[{{[f(x)]}^{3}}\]

    C)            \[2f(x)\]

    D)            \[3f(x)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[f(x)=\log (x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})\]            \[\therefore \,\,\,f\left( \frac{2x}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right)=\log \,\left[ \frac{1+\frac{2x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{1-\frac{2x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}} \right]=\log \,\left[ \frac{{{x}^{2}}+1+2x}{{{x}^{2}}+1-2x} \right]\]            \[=\log \,{{\left[ \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right]}^{2}}=2\,\log \,\left[ \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right]=2\,f(x)\].
