For part a), write
z^6 - 1 = 0 as \left[z^2\right]^3 - 1^3 = 0
a difference of 2 cubes.
Recall that a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2), therefore \left[z^2\right]^3 - 1^3 = (z^2 - 1)(z^4 + z^2 + 1)
The roots where z \in Q are z = \pm1 .
b) Consider
z^6 - 1 = 0 as z^6 = 1

Hi all,
This question comes from Cambridge Chapter 3(C) Q15.
a) Show that every root of the equation is imaginary for (1+z)^{2n} + (1-z)^{2n} =0
b) Let the roots be represented by the points P_1, P_2, P_3, ... ,P_{2n} in the Argand diagram, and let O be the origin.
Show that:

So If a student in NSW undergoing year 12 wanted to complete a full mathematics course, they would do
1. Advanced
2. Extension 1
3. Extension 2
That is, 3 mathematics subjects.
Is this correct?
Hi all,
I'm from Victoria, so I am unfamiliar with Mathematics course at year 12 level in NSW. If a student wishes to do a full complement of mathematics at year 12, what mathematics courses do they choose?
Thanks in advance
