    Abbreviations In Circle Geometry

    I don't see a problem with abbreviating, but only if it's something that's well known and common - don't start writing "c.q." instead of cyclic quadrilateral or "aa" for alternate angles because no one knows what you're talking about it. If you see it in your book, you can probably use it.

    Higher Level Integration Marathon & Questions

    Re: Extracurricular Integration Marathon \begin{align*} \int_0^1\int_0^x\frac{(x+y)e^{x+y}}{x^2}\,dy\,dx&= \int_0^1\left.\frac{xe^{x+y} + ye^{x+y} - e^{x+y}}{x^2} \right |_{y=0}^x\,dx\\&=\int_0^1\frac{2xe^{2x} - xe^x+e^x-e^{2x}}{x^2}\,dx\\&=\left.\frac{-1}{x}\left( 2xe^{2x}-xe^x+e^x -...

    Question need help immediately

    Use \text{Period} = \frac{2\pi}{n} to find n, then differentiate and substitute t = 1 to get two equations in two variables which you can solve like any other.

    Handling workload in the holidays

    It's all about compromise. Like, I'm doing fine with my workload + musical + other extracurricular activities, but it means my normal bed time is 1am-3am and that I don't get to hang out with friends as often as I'd like.

    Handling workload in the holidays

    But seriously you need to choose between a healthy lifestyle with lots of breaks in studying or optimal studying. You either handle your workload and give up on other things, or you accept that you won't be studying as much as you should because you'd rather get things like proper sleep...

    Music 2 HSC core performance pieces?

    The Australian Focus requirement is just for your class - you should be studying a bunch of Australian pieces in class to be able to answer the questions in your theory exams. However, the core performance piece does not have to be Australian - the only requirement is that it was written in the...

    HSC 2016 MX2 Integration Marathon (archive)

    Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon \begin{align*}\int \frac{1+\cos 4x}{\cot x - \tan x}\,dx &= \int \frac{2\cos^2{2x}}{\frac{\cos^2 x - \sin ^2 x}{\cos x \sin x}}\,dx\\&= \int \frac{\cos^2 2x \sin 2x}{\cos 2x}\,dx\\&= \int \frac12\sin 4x\,dx\\&= -\frac18\cos{4x} + C\end{align*}

    Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon 0 \leq u \leq 1 \iff 1 \leq u^2 + 1 \leq 2 \iff \frac{n}{2(n+1)} \leq I_n \leq \frac{n}{n+1} This doesn't prove convergence, but it does prove boundedness. Ceebs finding good upper limit and using squeeze theorem

    Marks in year 9 - Marks in year 12

    Yup :p (Okay, I'm actually on 99.6 as a weighted average for this year... Shhh, it's a secret!) :party: The important thing is that you ask questions when you don't understand something. You're never going to be able to achieve high marks if you don't understand the topic, so don't be afraid...

    Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon Assuming the limit exists: $Let $ x = \tan^{-1}u \iff dx = \frac{du}{1+u^2}$. Our integral becomes $ n\int_0^1 \frac{u^n}{1+u^2}\,du$. Letting $ I_n = n\int_0^1 \frac{u^n}{1+u^2}\,du, $ we wish to compute $\lim_{n\to\infty} I_n.\\$ Note that:$ \begin{align*}...

    I was averaging 100 in maths in year 9, now I average 100 in 3u and 93 in 4u.

    Actuarial/Adv maths at uni

    For 2017 UNSW is offering Adv Math (Co-op) which is what OP was asking about, I think.

    Actuarial/Adv maths at uni

    Oh, and I should note that outside the Co-op program, Adv. Maths is much wider (in the sense that you can major in Applied or Pure, instead of Stats).

    Actuarial/Adv maths at uni

    Adv. Math for Co-op is new for 2017, so there isn't much information available on it, but from what I gathered at some information nights + the website, it's very statistics based. My understanding is that Acturial is mostly focused on financial risk and the like, whilst Adv. Math would be more...
