    HSC 2013 MX2 Marathon (archive)

    Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon Another method (using triangle inequality): Use triangle inequality on the triangle with sides a, b, c and re-arranging them and subbing it into A results in: A \leq \frac{ab}{4} Now to prove that \frac{ab}{4} \leq \frac{a^2+b^2 + c^2}{4} a^2+b^2+c^2...

    Help Differentiate Please?

    Step: -Normal application of quotient rule -Common denominate the numerator -Simplify and put everything as 1 fraction $Let $y = \frac{2x^2 + 1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(4x)\sqrt{x^2+1}- \left ( \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \right )(2x^2+1)}{x^2+1} \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\left...

    done my 1st 2u year 12

    To improve concentration: DON'T multi-task because it reduces short-term memory, so whatever u are doing, do it properly and only think about it, dont think about other things

    Maximum / minimum question

    u subtracted top curve from bottom which is correct but some other people might ask why don't u subtract bottom curve from top curve? by looking at the curve and points A and B, u can say that the y-coord of A is greater than the y-coord of B. so if u subtract bottom curve from top u get a...

    Polynomial Equation

    Part (i), i can think of 2 methods Method 1: It is a series and there are only 2 series u know: arithmetic or geometric Method 2: Use this z^n - 1 = (z-1)(1+z+z^2+z^3+...+z^(n-1)) ii) When u solve (i) you know which roots belong to that equation (say A, B, C, D), but to express it in the form...

    complex no.

    ok cool, yeh i used isos triangle too

    complex no.

    Did u guys use circle geometry (with root of unity) and pythagoras?

    Maths questions

    nah, i'm asking how did u deduce that d = 'blah' with that equivalency (x^2-2x+5 = 4x-x^2) Below is invisible because i dont want Smile12345 to see it yet: so, say the x-coord of point X and Y is x = x1, now the points X and Y become: (taking into account that they have the same x-coord) Then...

    Maths questions

    i dont understand your working out for part (a)...how is d = 'blah' when their x-coordinates are the same? (d is the distance between X and Y)

    deriving weirdd thing

    Whoever taught you that is working for the DEVIL! That rule only works when the power is a constant (in this case, 'x' is a variable). When u differentiate ex, the result is just ex (this is the easiest thing u need to differentiate, its just itself!!!!) Proof: y = e^x ln(y) = x x = ln(y)...

    1) If the wire is cut into 2 pieces which form 1 square and 1 circle, then this means that the perimeter of the square and perimeter of the circle is equal to 3 Let perimeter of square be P1 Let perimeter of circle be P2 Let the side of the square be 'a' Let the radius of the circle be 'r'...

    Maths questions

    Q1 a) Y is directly below X, so to find distance XY, just get top point minus bottom point (y-values) (XY is a vertical distance) Before this is all done, tell me what point X and Y are b) Calculus Q2 a) U can do this, use what they gave u, the point (-1,2) lies on AB --> what does this...

    maths questions

    So...find point M and gradient of line parallel to 6x - 2y + 7 = 0, then use point-gradient formula However, i think there is another method! We need to find eqn of line passing through M and is parallel to 6x - 2y + 7 = 0 (i.e. same gradient). what line passes though M? Line 'l' RIGHT...
