What you're saying is like "




....
idk what ur on about but

eyy hoes you gotta remember the leading coefficient wasnt 1 rip
this is what i meant (soz i just explain things badly lol)

e.g. you can expand the second term in the part (ii) expression and you get -(2nC2) x^(2n-2+2) or some shit
so the leading coefficient isn't 1, but rather some disgustingly huge expression

I think the answer was D or something

I used the sum of arithmetic progression from 1 to 101 and got one of the answers
I also think I got C. Well I know I put down 5151, because the sum of integers from 1 to 100 is 5050 (thanks Gauss!!) so add 101 and you get 5151 which i think was C

I thought the only time someone got 100 raw in the HSC 4U paper was in 1993 (Anthony Henderson). People usually lose a mark or two from silly mistakes or something.

Hey guys,
Does anyone remember every question vaguely and the number of marks for each question? I want to check if I didn't accidentally skip a question.
