$Evaluate$

$\sin^2 1^{\circ} + \sin^2 2^{\circ} + \sin^2 3^{\circ} + \dots + \sin^2 88^{\circ} + \sin^2 89^{\circ} + \sin^2 90^{\circ}$

$\sin^2 1^{\circ}+ \sin^2 89^{\circ} =1 + .... +\sin^2 44^{\circ}+ \sin^2 46^{\circ}= 44 $your left with$ \ \ sin^2 45^{\circ}+ \sin^2 90^{\circ}= 1+\frac{1}{2}} therefore \ \ 44 + 1+\frac{1}{2}= 45 + \frac{1}{2}}$

Edit: $sin^2 45^{\circ} \ \ is\ \ \frac{1}{2}\ \ $so its 45$\ \ \frac{1}{2}$

is it 95/2?

EDIT: whoops miscounted is it 91/2

what

$prove: \frac{cos(2x)}{cos(x)} = \frac{1-tan^2(x)}{sec(x)}$

First 2U Q I made.

EDIT: The Q means Tangent at that x-value for any clarification issues.

You can do this really easily using a 3U method.

Edit: It's not even a 3U method... my bad.

Will post if no one does.

$i) Show that$

$\frac{1-\cos^4 x}{\sin x \cos x + \cot x \cos^4 x} = \frac{\tan x \sec^2 x - \sin x \cos x}{\tan^2 x + \cos^2 x}$

$ii) Hence find$

$\int_0^{\pi/4} \frac{1-\cos^4x}{\sin x \cos x + \cot x \cos^4 x } \ dx$

Yeah?

$a,b,c\; $must have constraints or the proposition may not hold$$

How so? It worked fine for me.

RealiseNothing · Oct 16, 2013

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

The only thing I can think of is stating that $c \neq 0$ if $b=0$

SpiralFlex · Oct 16, 2013

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

Actually, no constaint is needed because of the if-then clause. My mistake.

I like this question. Seems like the kind of thing I would write.
