MHT-CET Full Test-8 Mathematics Que-7 Solution

Q.7. If g(x) = 1 + \sqrt{x} and f(g(x)) = 3 + 2\sqrt{x} + x , then f(f(x)) is:

A. x^{2} + 4x + 6

B. x^{4} + x^{2} + 6

C. x^{2} + x + 6

D. x^{4} + 4x^{2} + 6

Answer: D

Explanation:

g(x) = 1 + \sqrt{x} and f(g(x)) = 3 + 2\sqrt{x} + x

f(g(x)) = [(\sqrt{x})^2 + 2\sqrt{x} + 1] + 2 = (\sqrt{x} + 1)^2 + 2 = [g(x)]^2 + 2 \Rightarrow f(x) = x^2 + 2 \Rightarrow f(f(x)) = (x^2 + 2)^2 + 2 = x^4 + 4x^2 + 6
