    Let \[f(x)={{a}^{x}}(a>0)\] be written as \[f(x)=g(x)\,+h(x)\] where \[g(x)\,\] is an even function and \[h(x)\] is an odd function. Then the value of \[g(x+y)+g(x-y)\] is

    A) \[2g(x)\,g(y)\]                 

    B) \[2g(x+y)\,g(x-y)\]

    C) \[2g(x)\]            

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Clearly, g(x) \[=\frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}})\] and \[h(x)\,=\frac{1}{2}\left( {{a}^{x}}-{{a}^{-x}} \right)\]
    Now \[h\left( x+y \right)+g\left( x-y \right)\]\[=\frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x+y}}+{{a}^{-(x+y)}}+\frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x-y}}+{{a}^{-x+y}})\]
    =\[\frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x}}{{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{x}}{{a}^{-y}}+{{a}^{-x}}{{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{-x}}{{a}^{-y}})\]\[=\frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x}}({{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{-y}})+{{a}^{-x}}({{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{-y}}))\]
    =\[2\left( \frac{1}{2}({{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}}) \right)\left( \frac{1}{2}({{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{-y}}) \right)\]\[=2g(x)g(y)\]
