[Kurukshetra CEE 1996]

Options:

A) $ {\log_{e}}{{( \frac{x-2}{x-1} )}^{1/2}} $

B) $ {\log_{e}}{{( \frac{x-1}{3-x} )}^{1/2}} $

C) $ {\log_{e}}{{( \frac{x}{2-x} )}^{1/2}} $

D) $ {\log_{e}}{{( \frac{x-1}{x+1} )}^{-2}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ y=\frac{e^{x}-{e^{-x}}}{e^{x}+{e^{-x}}}+2\Rightarrow y=\frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1}+2 $
$ \Rightarrow e^{2x}=\frac{1-y}{y-3}=\frac{y-1}{3-y}\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}{\log_{e}},( \frac{y-1}{3-y} ) $
$ \Rightarrow {f^{-1}}(y)={\log_{e}},{{( \frac{y-1}{3-y} )}^{1/2}}\Rightarrow {f^{-1}}(x)={\log_{e}}{{( \frac{x-1}{3-x} )}^{1/2}} $ .
