    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...

    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.

    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)...

    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...

    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...
