    The function\[f(x)=\log (x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})\]is:

    A)  even function

    B)  odd function

    C)  neither even nor odd

    D)  periodic function

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We have,\[f(x)=\log (x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})\] \[\therefore \]\[f(-x)=\log (-x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})\times \frac{(x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})}{(x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})}\]                  \[=\log \left( \frac{-{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-1}{x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1}} \right)\]                 \[=-\log (x+\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+1})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[f(-x)=-f(x)\] \[\therefore \]\[f(x)\]is an odd function. Note: (i) If\[f(-x)=f(x)\], is an even function. (ii) If \[f(x+T)=f(x)\], is a periodic function with period\[T\].
