Let fx=(x+1)2-1, x≥-1. Then x∣fx=f-1x=

  • A
    {0,1,-1}
  • B
    -1,-3+i32,-3-i32
  • Correct answer
    C
    {0,-1}
  • D
    ϕ

Solution

f(x)=(x+1)2-1, x=-1

Now f-1(x)=x+1-1

and it is given that (x+1)2-1=x+1-1

⇒(x+1)2=x+1

⇒(x+1)4=(x+1)

x+1 x+13-1=0

So x=-1 and x3+3x2+3x=0

⇒xx2+3x+3=0

Now x=0 and x=-3±9-122

x=-3±3i2

So x=-1, 0, -3+3i2, -3-3i2

but x≥-1

So 0, -1 is satisfied

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
