If one function, but not both functions, is monotonic decreasing, then the product of their first derivatives will be negative, and so will be monotonic decreasing.

Correct, but small technicality error: Monotone means the inequality isn't necessarily strict (≥)

Thanks for clearing that up; none of my teachers were able to tell me definitively.

Re: HSC 2017 Maths (Advanced) Marathon

Okay, I am going to use different greek letters for different weights, although not sure if this is reasonable notation. Now correct me if this is wrong.. although I am fairly confident that I got it.. this took ages to type my apologies






Well done. :)

Re: HSC 2017 Maths (Advanced) Marathon

I came across a question in the Cambridge textbook today and I haven't looked at the answer yet.



I'm assuming its a constant of 1 next to the dx when we integrate it? Somebody could confirm

Yes, that's right (it's common practice to drop the '1' and write it like they've written it).

Congruency test

I came across this question tonight and wanted to clear a couple of things up. At times could we use either RHS test or SAS test to explain parts (b) and (f)? They are exactly the same shape as one can see and the Cambridge textbook gives 2 solutions:



The answer for part (b) was RHS in the textbook

The answer for part (f) was SAS in the text book

I would say no (may be wrong).

In (b), the angle is not included within the two sides marked and therefore can only be RHS (SAS is side, included angle, side)

On the other hand, in (f) it is SAS as they are giving you two sides and an included angle but the hypotenuse is not one of the sides. Therefore it is directly SAS and I would say, indirectly RHS.

Re: HSC 2017 Maths (Advanced) Marathon

^^ I can see it now . It's something that I never really looked into specifically.

SO I take it, if they give the hypotenuse length and a right angle, we can conclude its a RHS . (also one of the adjacent or opposite lengths)

If we are given a right angle, adjacent and an opposite length, then its a SAS.
