Find f(g(x))

Find \( f(g(x)) \)

Question:

If

\[ f(x)=\log\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) \]

and

\[ g(x)=\frac{3x+x^3}{1+3x^2} \]

then \( f(g(x)) \) is equal to

(a) \(f(3x)\)
(b) \(\{f(x)\}^3\)
(c) \(3f(x)\)
(d) \(-f(x)\)

Solution:

\[ f(g(x)) = \log\left( \frac{1+g(x)}{1-g(x)} \right) \]

Put

\[ g(x)=\frac{3x+x^3}{1+3x^2} \]

Then,

\[ \frac{1+g(x)}{1-g(x)} = \frac{1+\frac{3x+x^3}{1+3x^2}} {1-\frac{3x+x^3}{1+3x^2}} \]

\[ = \frac{(1+x)^3}{(1-x)^3} \]

Therefore,

\[ f(g(x)) = \log\left( \frac{(1+x)^3}{(1-x)^3} \right) \]

\[ = 3\log\left( \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right) \]

\[ =3f(x) \]

\[ \boxed{\text{Correct Answer: (c)}} \]
