d- F(x)= x^2(1-x)^2
e- f(x)= x/1-x
Answer is D, can some body help with this?
Thanks
Check one by one the choices...
A. If f(x) = 1 - x, then f (1 - x) = 1 - (1 - x) = x; not the same.
B. If f(x) = 1 - x^2, then f (1 - x) = 1 - (1 - x) ^2 = 2 x - x^2; not the same.
C. If f(x) = x^2 - (1 - x) ^2 = 2 x - 1, then f (1 - x) = (1 - x) ^2 - x^2 = 1 - 2 x; not the same.
D. If f(x) = x^2 (1 - x) ^2, then f (1 - x) = (1 - x) ^2 (1 - 1 + x) ^2 = x^2 (1 - x) ^2;
the same.
E. Ignore E.
