    Let \[f(x)={{a}^{x}}(a>0)\] be written as \[f(x)={{f}_{1}}(x)+{{f}_{2}}(x,)\] where \[{{f}_{1}}(x)\] is an even function of \[{{f}_{2}}(x)\] is an odd function. Then \[{{f}_{1}}(x+y)+{{f}_{1}}(x-y)\]equals [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) \[2{{f}_{1}}(x){{f}_{1}}(y)\]          

    B) \[2{{f}_{1}}(x){{f}_{2}}(y)\]

    C) \[2{{f}_{1}}(x+y){{f}_{2}}(x-y)\]  

    D) \[2{{f}_{1}}(x+y){{f}_{1}}(x-y)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[f(x)={{a}^{x}},a>0\] \[f(x)=\frac{{{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}}+{{a}^{x}}-{{a}^{-x}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{f}_{1}}(x)=\frac{{{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}}}{2}\] \[{{f}_{2}}(x)=\frac{{{a}^{x}}-{{a}^{-x}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{f}_{1}}(x+y)+{{f}_{1}}(x-y)\] \[=\frac{{{a}^{x+y}}+{{a}^{-x-y}}}{2}+\frac{{{a}^{x-y}}+{{a}^{-x+y}}}{2}\] \[=\frac{\left( {{a}^{x}}+{{a}^{-x}} \right)}{2}\left( {{a}^{y}}+{{a}^{-y}} \right)\] \[={{f}_{1}}(x)\times 2{{f}_{1}}(y)\] \[=2{{f}_{1}}(x)\times {{f}_{1}}(y)\]
