Not really sure why they had to use C0=1. I understand that you have to substitute x=1 into the equation

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

Wait I understand it now. C1 is the first term, C2 is the 2nd term of the summation

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

Actually I still dont quite get how they get C0=1

nC0 =1 from binomial triangle...

You should probably have a proper read of the theory before you go onto doing some questions especially for a topic like binomial and perhaps start off at the beginning of the topic to get a better understanding of how binomial relates to Pascal's Triangle

Not sure if anyone can draw one of these shapes for the parabola.

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

Have got a bit of confusion on part (c)



My thinking is you have to expand the terms next to the summation then substitute what they did in parts a) and b) . Is that something we should remember in this course the binomial expansion of (1+x)^n =C0 +C1X+C2X^2+C3 X^3+......CN X^N?

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

Have been watching a few clips on Youtube from Eddie Woo. To be fair, he has explained it better than the textbooks I have read so far from Terry Lee, Grove, Fitzpatrick and Hosri.

Think this is a topic where you need someone to explain it to you step by step.

bruh can you learn it in class before posting questions so you dont derail?

Spending an hour learning Geogebra. I want to design my own maths questions.

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

Only learn about Latex this year, want to build on my knowledge.

I also say I have a slightly better understanding of this question going through the theory again.

True or False Question.

For a cyclic quadrilateral to be true, all four corners of the quadrilateral must be touching the circles.

True or False Question.

For a cyclic quadrilateral to be true, all four corners of the quadrilateral must be touching the circles.

By definition a cyclic quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose four vertices all lie on a circle.

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon

For a cyclic quadrilateral to be true

That wording is pretty meaningless. A statement is true or false, not an object.

You mean "for a quadrilateral to be cyclic".

And "corners" is not a mathematical word. You mean "vertices".

And what is THE circle?

Tangents are drawn from the ends of a focal chord on the parabola at points and . Find the locus of the intersection of these tangents.
