    effects of being only one in ex2 class

    lmao, what school you at, so i know in the future not to send my kids there :P

    effects of being only one in ex2 class

    basically i did..she only helped me with some tough questions...i pretty gave up in the end couldnt be bothered anymore

    effects of being only one in ex2 class

    yeh i had that last yr...but my teacher was like ceebs you do it yoruself lol
  4. math man

    Recent past papers?

    go crazy with http://users.tpg.com.au/nanahcub/me1.html

    effects of being only one in ex2 class

    i was in the same situation as you last yr i still got e4 for ex2..only depends on your hsc mark

    What is the easiest mathematical induction inequality prof method?

    well for the division induction questions subbing the assumption is the best way to do it

    What is the easiest mathematical induction inequality prof method?

    if you look at 4d of http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2005exams/pdf_doc/maths_ext1_05.pdf we have to prove: 4^{n} - 1 - 7n > 0 for n\geq 2 now step 1 is easy so i'll skip it and go to step 2. Step 2 Assume true for n=k 4^{k} - 1 - 7k > 0 Step 3 To prove...

    Polynomials question (or rather moving stuff about)

    i know where you are coming from lol...im just trying to point out both the + or - solution will give the same answer as they are both roots of the polynomial so you only need to sub in one of them to find the polynomial with the new desired roots
  9. math man

    By inspection

    The HSC is generally nice when marking they wanna give you marks...i reckon just add one line in saying equating real and imaginary parts gives: then you should be fine, doing this extra line demonstrates to the marker you know what you are doing

    Binomial Theorem question

    we know that: \sum_{k=0}^{2r}(-1)^r(_{k}^{n}\textrm{C})(_{2r-k}^{n}\textrm{C})= (-1)^r(_{r}^{n}\textrm{C}) from i) Now we break the above sum on the LHS to: \sum_{k=0}^{2r}(-1)^r(_{k}^{n}\textrm{C})(_{2r-k}^{n}\textrm{C})=...

    Polynomials question (or rather moving stuff about)

    it doesnt matter which you use, because we have a = (x \pm \sqrt{x^2 - 4})/2, where a is our root of the new eqn, as a is our root P(a)= 0, so that means P(a = (x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4})/2)=P(a = (x - \sqrt{x^2 - 4})/2)=0 so you can use either cause both will give right answer

    Polynomials question (or rather moving stuff about)

    subbing either the + or - root doesn't matter..they both give right answer..that's why i didnt bother with the neg one

    Complex numbers question

    lol thankyou...i didnt realise the latex thing till you said it on the other post
  14. math man

    Polynomials question (or rather moving stuff about)

    so you should work out that you have to sub a = (1/2)[x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4}] into the original eqn... doing so gives: (1/8)[x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4}]^3 + (3/2)[x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4}] + 2 = 0 ...now i will times everything by 8 [x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4}]^3 + 12[x + \sqrt{x^2 - 4}] + 16 = 0 ...here...

    Complex numbers question

    i will let theta equal x to make it simply for me z = cosx + isinx, z + 1 = cosx + 1 + isinx, to eliminate the 1 use cosx = 2cos^2(x/2) - 1 and also sub sinx = 2sin(x/2)cos(x/2) z + 1 = 2cos^2(x/2) - 1 + 1 + 2isin(x/2)cos(x/2) ...now we can factor cos(x/2) out and the first part is done z...

    nah man thats a weak mark lol

    i got 95 for 2u maths 48 for ext 1 maths, im droppin maths this yr and doin ext 2 so im not fussed about that mark
  19. math man

    Where is your school up to?

    well mi whole class, (just me), have finished complex numbers and graphing and now we are done for the term
