What is (f o g)(36) if f(x)=6^x and g(x)=log6 x ?

According to the rule, (f o g)(x) =
f(g(x))


So,  (f o g)(36) =
f(g(36))


We'll calculate g(36) = log6 (36) = log6 (6^2) =
2*log6 (6) = 2


(f o g)(36) = f(g(36)) =
f(2)


We'll substitute x by 2 in the expression of
f(x):


f(2) = 6^2


f(2) =
36


The result of composition of the functions
is: (f o g)(36) = 36.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
