Question 7 - 2021 (24 Feb Shift 2)
If $a + \alpha = 1$, $b + \beta = 2$ and $af(x) + \alpha f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = bx + \frac{\beta}{x}$, $x \neq 0$, then the value of the expression $\frac{f(x) + f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x + \frac{1}{x}}$ is:

Answer: (2) 2
Solution
$(a + \alpha)\left[f(x) + f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right] = \left(x + \frac{1}{x}\right)(b + \beta)$
$\frac{f(x) + f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x + \frac{1}{x}} = \frac{b+\beta}{a+\alpha} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$
