Function

by kavehfa » Sun Jan 16, 2011 8:15 am
I hope I am posting it in the right place! Here is the problem:

For which of the following function f is f(x)=f(1-x) for all x?

a) f(x)=f(1-x)

b) f(x)=1-x^2

c) f(x)=x^2-(1-x)^2

d) f(x)=x^2(1-x)^2

e) f(x)=x/(1-x)

I apologize if it is not posted professionally!

It is from GMATPrep software. Need explanation and how frequent are these type of questions since I have not seen them explained in any books.

Probably this question has been discussed more than 5 times during past few weeks already. Search for it, in the search box provided above on this page :
