only one image in the co-domain and each element in the range is the
image of only one element in the domain. Therefore given that :

because the co-domain of f is used as the domain for g and this makes

d. Given to prove that (2 + 5) is divisible by 6
When = 1 we have
1(12 + 5) = 6 which is divisible by 6
Therefore the statement is true for = 1
Assume statement is true when = , therefore
( 2 + 5) is divisible by 6
When = + 1 we have
( + 1)[( + 1)2 + 5]
( + 1)( 2 + 2 + 1 + 5)
( + 1)( 2 + 2 + 6)

3 + 3 2 + 8 + 6
3 + 5 + 3 2 + 3 + 6
( 2 + 5) + 3( + 1) + 6
We assumed ( 2 + 5) is divisible by 6, ( + 1) is an even integer which when
multiplied by 3 is divisible by 6 and 6 is divisible by 6.
Therefore when = + 1 the statement is true.
Since the statement is true for = 1, and + 1, it is true for all positive integer n.

b. i. Given the line L has equation + 1 = 0 and the circle C has equation
2 + 2 2 15 = 0
The general equation of a circle is given by 2 + 2 2 2 + = 0
where f and g are the coordinates of the centre of the circle.
From the equation of the circle the coordinate of the centre is (0, 1)
Therefore from the line equation + 1 = 0 when = 0 and = 1

We have 0 1 + 1 = 0 therefore it is shown that the line L passes through the
centre of the circle.

The circle 2 touches the line L at the centre of C (0, 1) and has the same radius
Therefore (0 )2 + (1 )2 = 16
2 + (1 )2 = 16
Also the line through the centres of the circle is perpendicular to the line L
therefore it has gradient 1.
