    Coroneos integration chapter

    I was actually referring to the entire chapter actually. But I suppose I could take the 100 integrals as well

    Coroneos integration chapter

    Hi all, Is there a 4 unit integration chapter from coroneos floating around somewhere? Cheers

    PhD in AI for Maths Tutoring + Free HSC Resources

    Hi all, I am currently a PhD student at University of Sydney (in Artificial Intelligence) and been tutoring both high school and university for the past 9 years (for Maths, Stats and Programming). I also tutor 1st year Business Stats for Sydney Uni (as in employed by Usyd, not privately)...

    Limit approaches 0 for (tan theta/3)/theta

    That's mostly because you can use tan as follows : \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\tan \theta}{\theta} =\lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin \theta}{\theta \cos{\theta}}=\lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin \theta}{\theta}\times \frac{1}{\cos \theta}= 1 \times 1 =1

    Holiday Courses + Free Videos for HSC

    Hey people, I am running a few holiday courses for the Trials and HSC for 2 Unit, 3 Unit and 4 Unit. Will mostly be going through past papers, and each session is 3 hours. http://www.themathstudent.com.au/holiday-courses.html The free videos...

    Application of series!

    part b) so the series goes 6+12+18.... use sum formula as above n=k, a=6, d=6 part c) expand the sum formula so that you get k^2 (or n^2 if dealing with just end) and then solve the quadratic. Remember to chuck the negative solution out as n>0

    Quad polynomials help

    ^Think you meant to say x^2-26x+25 not 5x^2

    Trig Quadratic Identity & Volume Between Two Curves

    1. \begin{align*}4cos^4(x)&=1+2cos(2x)+4cos^2(2x)\\&=1+2cos(2x)+2(2cos^2(2x))\\&=1+2cos(2x)+2(1+cos(4x)) \end{align*} expand and simplify 2. All you need to note is that cos^2(x)=\frac{1+cos(2x)}{2} now it should be easier to sketch

    trigonometric range question

    If you were after the general solution, the answer would be: \frac{(-1)^k\frac{\pi}{6}+k\pi}{3} where k is an integer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric_functions#General_solutions

    Integrate these for me please

    first one -\frac{1/6}{6x+1} use u=6x +1 if you cant see this straight away. Second one seems like its too hard for a 2U exam. Are you sure you don't want to differentiate instead? Anyway the only thing I can think of use integration by parts by using dv=1/x^2, but this isn't part of 2U
  11. TheMathStudent

    Can someone help me with these two questions? :) Binomial Theorem.

    Second question would be easier if I knew the angle was between 0 and 90. Anyway, will leave the last few steps to you. S is sine and C is cosine

    help with rates of change

    Since I'm lazy I will just do Q3 part 1. The method of doing these is as exactly described by RishBonjour. Remember that the all sides are equal and that the angle is 60 deg. \begin{align*} A & =\frac{1}{2}xh\\ h & =x \sin(60^{\circ})=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x\\ \therefore A & = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}...

    Arithmetic Sequences HELP!

    Keep in mind that the general equation for Sum is: \begin{align*}S_n &=\frac{n}{2}(a+(n-1)d) \\ S_n & =\frac{na+n^2 d -nd}{2} \\ S_n &=n^2 \frac{d}{2}+ n\frac{(a-d)}{2}\equiv n^2 - 3n \\ \therefore & \frac{d}{2}=1, \qquad \frac{(a-d)}{2}=-3 \end{align*} I'll assume you can solve the...

    Function + Sequence and series questions please HELP!!

    yup, you just have to sub in n=1 regardless of the rearrangement to get the first term a

    Application of Series Help!

    just a little note to above; think it would be neater to do a=0.98 as opposed to 98 and deal with decimals so that t_n= & 0.98(0.98^n-1)<0.5 n<\log_{0.98}\left(\frac{0.5}{0.98}+1\right) =\frac{\log_e\left(\frac{0.5}{0.98}+1\right)}{\log_e(0.98)} just remember to round UP whatever n you...

    Area of a sector

    Area of sector: \pi r^2\frac{\theta}{2\pi}=\frac{r^2\theta}{2}=\frac{3\pi}{10} Length of Arc r\theta=\frac{\pi}{5}\Rightarrow r=\frac{\pi}{5\theta} sub this into above equation and you get: \frac{\pi^2}{25\theta^2}\frac{\theta}{2}=\frac{3 \pi}{10} Solving the rest should be simple, and...

    Polynomials question help!

    Hey, The trick is to differentiate and sub in 3. so P'(x)=5x^4-36x^3+3ux^2-36x sub in 3: P'(3)=0 ... subbing this in you will find that u=25 now do the same for P(3)=0, you will find v=-54. You didn't need to use p''(3) for this Qn. hope this helped.

    Complex Numbers Help :)

    Label the centre O (2+i) and A(5+2i), OA=3+i, now remember that a square forms 90 degrees at the centre by the vertices. Therefore all you need to get OB, OC and OD is to repeatedly multiply by i (turn by 90 degrees). OB=-1+3i OC=-3-i OD=1-3i Now just add all the above to vector O (2+i)...

    Free YouTube videos for HSC

    I don't think my videos, or any YouTube tutorials were meant to compete against tutors. The way I see it, it's more of a convenience thing, so that you revise when you can and at your own pace. I don't think my videos are anywhere near perfect, but if there is a big demand for the maths videos...
