Math Problem Statement

Jika f(x) = x / (1 - x^2), tentukan nilai: f(1/2), f(x+2), dan f(a/b).

Solution

The image you've uploaded contains a mathematical function f(x)f(x), and the task is to determine its value at certain points. The expression seems to be:

f(x)=x1x2f(x) = \frac{x}{1 - x^2}

And the questions are asking to find the values for:

  1. f(12)f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)
  2. f(x+2)f(x + 2)
  3. f(ab)f\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)

Let me solve each of these for you.

1. Finding f(12)f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)

Substitute x=12x = \frac{1}{2} into the function:

f(12)=121(12)2=12114=1234=12×43=23f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1 - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1 - \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2}{3}

2. Finding f(x+2)f(x + 2)

Substitute x+2x + 2 for xx in the function:

f(x+2)=x+21(x+2)2f(x+2) = \frac{x+2}{1 - (x+2)^2}

This is the general form, and it can be expanded further if needed.

3. Finding f(ab)f\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)

Substitute x=abx = \frac{a}{b} into the function:

f(ab)=ab1(ab)2=ab1a2b2=abb2a2b2=ab×b2b2a2=abb2a2f\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{1 - \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2} = \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2}} = \frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{b^2 - a^2}{b^2}} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{b^2}{b^2 - a^2} = \frac{ab}{b^2 - a^2}

Let me know if you'd like more detailed steps or clarifications on any of these steps! Would you like me to expand or explain further?
