What to find :   Locus of point from which tangents drawn to a circle have a particular angle (Angle not equal to zero) between them.  Hello, Everyone. Before going to find our required solution, let us try to observe a phenomenon in the life.   Figure : Illustration of variation of the angle with perpendicular distance from the wall Assumptions :  Let us assume that a person X is standing in front of a wall shown in above figure. Assume height of the wall is more than the person. Let A, B and C be the different positions of eye of the person as the person moves on the horizontal line segment shown in the above figure. Let "O" be the point on the wall lying on the horizontal line segment drawn from the eye to the wall such that it is perpendicular to the wall. Let "E" be the one end of the wall as shown in the above figure. In the above figure, variation of the angle means variation of the a ngle between the horizontal line segment and line segment joining the eye ...

Hello, Everyone. In this, we are going to derive the formula to find the sum of the squares of the first n natural numbers. Let S = 1 2  + 2 2  + 3 2  + .......... + (n-1) 2  + n 2 (m+1) 3 - m 3 = (m 3 + 3m 2 + 3m + 1) - m 3 = 3m 2 + 3m + 1 ------------ (i) put m = 1,2,3, ....... , (n-1), n in (i) Then, 2 3  - 1 3   = 3(1) 2  + 3(1) + 1 ------------ (1) 3 3  - 2 3   = 3(2) 2  + 3(2) + 1 ------------ (2) 4 3  - 3 3   = 3(3) 2  + 3(3) + 1 ------------ (3) ................... n 3  - (n-1) 3   = 3(n-1) 2  + 3(n-1) + 1 ------------ (n-1) (n+1) 3  - n 3   = 3(n) 2  + 3(n) + 1 ------------ (n) Now, by adding equations (1),(2),(3), ...... ,(n-1) and (n), we get the following equation. (n+1) 3  - 1 3   = 3(1 2  + 2 2  + 3 2  + .......... + (n-1) 2  + n 2 ) + 3(1 + 2 + 3 + ......... + (n-1) + n) + (1 + 1 + 1 +........ n times) 1 + 2 + 3 +...
