    Consider the circle given by the equation,          x² +y² -2x - 4y - 4 = 0 , if you want to find equations of  tangents drawn to the circle through the point ( 4, 0 ) usual method is to write it as y = m( x - 4) but using this you can find only one value for m that is  5/12 because one tangent is vRead more

    Consider the circle given by the equation,          x² +y² -2x – 4y – 4 = 0 , if you want to find equations of  tangents drawn to the circle through the point ( 4, 0 ) usual method is to write it as y = m( x – 4) but using this you can find only one value for m that is  5/12 because one tangent is vertical. Now you can use the form b ( y- β ) = a (x – α ) , that gives equation of the tangent in this case as,  by = a ( x – 4)  and when you use the condition of radius of the circle is equal to perpendicular distance from centre of the circle to the tangent line gives,      b ( 12a – 5b ) = 0  that is b =0 or a/b = 5/12 , here you can find both equations as x =4 and y = 5/12( x – 4).

    This is not properly formed because of three reasons,

    1) Shape of the object should be precisely stated, it should be given as right circular cone instead of just a cone.

    2)Distribution of particles within the object should be mentioned, it should be given as uniform otherwise density need to be given as a function.

    3)Without knowing the numerical values of dimensions we can not assume centre of mass is at the same position of centre of gravity. Therefore the correct way is to ask position of centre of mass.

    1)When f(x) and g(x) are given as expressions you can just replace x in f by g(x) and it gives an expression for f(g(x)). Let f(x) = x²  , g(x) =  √(x - 1)                                      f(g(x)) = x - 1 and f(g(0))= -1 2)When domains of f and g given you can find the range of g , and f(g(x)) eRead more

    1)When f(x) and g(x) are given as expressions you can just replace x in f by g(x) and it gives an expression for f(g(x)).

    Let f(x) = x²  , g(x) =  √(x – 1)                                      f(g(x)) = x – 1 and f(g(0))= -1

    2)When domains of f and g given you can find the range of g , and f(g(x)) exists if the range of g is a subset of domain of f  . In this case domain of f(g(x)) is same as the domain of the function g.

    In the previous example if domain of f given as all real numbers and domain of g as real numbers not less than 1 ,  range of g is set of positive real numbers including 0 and it is subset of domain of f . Therefore f(g(x)) can be defined. But f(g(0)) can not be defined because 0 is not in the domain of the composite function. Since range of f is not a subset of domain of g ,  g(f(x)) can not be defined.

    3)If you are asked to find f(g(x)) with it’s domain without giving domains of f and g , you need to restrict the domain of g in order to make range of g to be a subset of domain of f.

    Let f(x) = √(x -1) , g(x) = x²                                       here you need to restrict domain of g to             (-∞ , 1] ∪  [ 1 , ∞ ) in order have range of g that is [ 1  ,  ∞ ) as a subset of domain of f.

    Hope this answer would be sufficient to get the clear picture of the issue. I think better way to get this fully understood is to practice for few more problems.  Appreciate your suggestions regarding this answer. Because of a system error sometimes your reply can be taken as another answer.

    If you check the powers of 2 such as 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,…, you can find the pattern of the last digit 2,4,8,6,2,4,8,6,… which has a repeated sequence of period of 4 . Now you can divide the power by 4 and if it gives remainder as 1 last digit is 2 , if the remainder is 2 last digit is 4 , if the remainder is 3 last digit is 8 and if the remainder is 0 last digit is 6.

    In your case the power 2015 divided by 4 gives remainder 3 . Therefore last digit should be 8. Hope this way may be helpful to solve your problem.

    We think that the question is “What is the smallest integer when divided by 2, has a remainder 1?” The way the question is posed there does not exist such smallest integer. In fact, the set of integers satisfying the condition that when divided by 2 has a remainder 1 is, {…,-3, -1, 1, 3, 5, …}. ThisRead more

    We think that the question is “What is the smallest integer when divided by 2, has a remainder 1?”

    The way the question is posed there does not exist such smallest integer. In fact, the set of integers satisfying the condition that when divided by 2 has a remainder 1 is,

    {…,-3, -1, 1, 3, 5, …}. This set of integers has no smallest value.

    But if you are working only with positive integers, the smallest integer when divided by 2, has a remainder 1, would be 1.
