Question:

Which of the following functions is inverse of itself in its domain?

Options:

$f(x)=\frac{1-x}{1+x}$

$f(x)=5^{\log x}$

$f(x)=2^{x(x-1)}$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1-x}{1+x}$

Explanation:

Since $fof(x)=f(f(x))=f\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)=\frac{1-\frac{1-x}{1+x}}{1+\frac{1-x}{1+x}}=x,∀\,x$

$∴ fof = I$ ⇒ f is the inverse of itself.
