The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) = |x + 1| \) and evaluate the given statements to determine which one is true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate \( f(x^2) \) and \( (f(x))^2 \)**: - First, we compute \( f(x^2) \): \[ f(x^2) = |x^2 + 1| \] Since \( x^2 \) is always non-negative, \( x^2 + 1 \) is always greater than 0. Therefore: \[ f(x^2) = x^2 + 1 \] - Next, we compute \( (f(x))^2 \): \[ f(x) = |x + 1| \implies (f(x))^2 = (|x + 1|)^2 = (x + 1)^2 \] Expanding this gives: \[ (f(x))^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1 \] - Now we compare \( f(x^2) \) and \( (f(x))^2 \): \[ f(x^2) = x^2 + 1 \quad \text{and} \quad (f(x))^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1 \] Clearly, \( f(x^2) \neq (f(x))^2 \) unless \( 2x = 0 \) (i.e., \( x = 0 \)). Thus, this statement is **false**. 2. **Evaluate \( f(x + y) \) and \( f(x) + f(y) \)**: - Compute \( f(x + y) \): \[ f(x + y) = |x + y + 1| \] - Compute \( f(x) + f(y) \): \[ f(x) + f(y) = |x + 1| + |y + 1| \] - To check if these are equal, let's test with \( x = 0 \) and \( y = 0 \): \[ f(0 + 0) = |0 + 0 + 1| = 1 \] \[ f(0) + f(0) = |0 + 1| + |0 + 1| = 1 + 1 = 2 \] Since \( 1 \neq 2 \), this statement is also **false**. 3. **Evaluate \( f(|x|) \) and \( |f(x)| \)**: - Compute \( f(|x|) \): \[ f(|x|) = ||x| + 1| = |x| + 1 \quad \text{(since } |x| + 1 \text{ is non-negative)} \] - Compute \( |f(x)| \): \[ f(x) = |x + 1| \implies |f(x)| = ||x + 1| | = |x + 1| \] - To check if these are equal, let's test with \( x = -2 \): \[ f(-2) = |-2 + 1| = | -1 | = 1 \] \[ f(|-2|) = f(2) = |2 + 1| = 3 \] Since \( 1 \neq 3 \), this statement is also **false**. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all statements, we find that none of the statements are true.
