Which of the following is an even function?  A. f_1 (x)= ((sin x)/(3^x +3^(−x) ))         B. f_2 (x)= ((cos x)/(3^x +3^(−x) ))  C. f_3 (x)=log_(10) (x+(√(x^2 +1)))  D. f_4 (x)= (x^2 /(10^x −1))

B.  f_2 (−x)=((cos(−x) )/(3^(−x) +3^(−(−x)) ))=((cos x)/(3^x +3^(−x) ))=f_2 (x)  ∴ f_2  is an even function.

$$\mathrm{B}.\:\:{f}_{\mathrm{2}} \left(−{x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{cos}\left(−{x}\right)\:}{\mathrm{3}^{−{x}} +\mathrm{3}^{−\left(−{x}\right)} }=\frac{\mathrm{cos}\:{x}}{\mathrm{3}^{{x}} +\mathrm{3}^{−{x}} }={f}_{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right) \\ $$$$\therefore\:{f}_{\mathrm{2}} \:{is}\:{an}\:{even}\:{function}. \\ $$$$ \\ $$
