[f{f(x)}] $ is equal to [Orissa JEE 2003]

Options:

A) 0

B) $ \frac{1}{2} $

C) 1

D) 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x} $

Therefore $ f{f(x)}=\frac{1-x}{-x} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ f[f{f(x)}]=\frac{-x}{-x-1+x}=x $

$ \therefore $ Derivative of $ f[f{f(x)}]=1 $ .
