    If the function\[f(x)\]is defined by \[f(x)=a+bx\]and\[{{f}^{r}}=fff\text{ }...\](repeated r times), then \[{{f}^{r}}(x)\]is equal to:

    A)  \[a+{{b}^{r}}x\]              

    B)         \[ar+{{b}^{r}}x\]             

    C)                         \[ar+b{{x}^{r}}\]             

    D)         \[a({{b}^{r}}-1)+{{b}^{r}}x\]

    E)  \[a\left( \frac{{{b}^{r}}-1}{b-1} \right)+{{b}^{r}}x\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    \[f(x)=a+bx\] \[\therefore \]  \[f\{f(x)\}=a+b(a+bx)\]                                                 \[=ab+a+{{b}^{2}}x\]                                                 \[=a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[f[f\{f(x)\}]=f\{a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x\}\]                                 \[=a+b[a(1+b)+{{b}^{2}}x]\]                                 \[=a(1+b+{{b}^{2}})+{{b}^{3}}x\] \[\therefore \]\[{{f}^{r}}(x)=a(1+b+{{b}^{2}}+....+{{b}^{r-1}})+{{b}^{r}}x\]                 \[=a\left( \frac{{{b}^{r}}-1}{b-1} \right)+{{b}^{r}}x\]
