The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \( f(x+y) + f(x-y) \) given the function \( f(x) = \frac{a^x + a^{-x}}{2} \) where \( a > 2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the function**: \[ f(x) = \frac{a^x + a^{-x}}{2} \] 2. **Calculate \( f(x+y) \)**: \[ f(x+y) = \frac{a^{x+y} + a^{-(x+y)}}{2} \] 3. **Calculate \( f(x-y) \)**: \[ f(x-y) = \frac{a^{x-y} + a^{-(x-y)}}{2} \] 4. **Add \( f(x+y) \) and \( f(x-y) \)**: \[ f(x+y) + f(x-y) = \frac{a^{x+y} + a^{-(x+y)}}{2} + \frac{a^{x-y} + a^{-(x-y)}}{2} \] Combine the fractions: \[ = \frac{a^{x+y} + a^{-(x+y)} + a^{x-y} + a^{-(x-y)}}{2} \] 5. **Factor out common terms**: Notice that \( a^{x+y} \) and \( a^{x-y} \) can be rewritten: \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left( a^x a^y + a^{-x} a^{-y} + a^x a^{-y} + a^{-x} a^y \right) \] Rearranging gives: \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left( a^x (a^y + a^{-y}) + a^{-x} (a^y + a^{-y}) \right) \] 6. **Recognize the expression**: We can factor out \( a^y + a^{-y} \): \[ = \frac{1}{2} (a^y + a^{-y})(a^x + a^{-x}) \] Since \( f(x) = \frac{a^x + a^{-x}}{2} \) and \( f(y) = \frac{a^y + a^{-y}}{2} \), we can rewrite: \[ = 2 f(x) f(y) \] 7. **Final result**: Therefore, we have: \[ f(x+y) + f(x-y) = 2 f(x) f(y) \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is \( 2f(x) \cdot f(y) \).

To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \( f(x+y) + f(x-y) \) given the function \( f(x) = \frac{a^x + a^{-x}}{2} \) where \( a > 2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the function**: \[ f(x) = \frac{a^x + a^{-x}}{2} \] ...
