Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon

I don't know how to latex but, for the second question, is the area overlapping = area of square - area of triangle = (√2)^2 - 1/2(√3)(3/2) = 2 - (3√3)/4units. In regards to the first question, I have no idea where to start but I was thinking if we consider a complex number z such that |z|=1 and arg(z)=θ, 0<θ<pi/2. The locus formed from arg(z+1) - arg(z-1) = A is a semicircle and then showing that A (i.e. angle at circumference) worth pi/2 will suffice a valid proof.

Given the limited information, I had a crack at it. This is what I manage to salvage

The roots all have modulus 1 and by plotting them on a unit circle forms a rectangle, width 1 and length √3. Area spanned by roots is √3 x 1 = √3 units.

and for the area enclosed by the 5th, 6th, ... roots of any complex number, does the area approach the area of the circle dependent on what the modulus is or does that only happen to complex numbers with modulus 1, only generalisation I've come up with.

$Prove that the area enclosed by the ellipse $ \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 $ is $ \pi ab $ units.$

$$Consider the two hyperbolae $ xy=c^2 $ and $ \left(\dfrac{x}{a}-\dfrac{y}{b}\right)\left(\dfrac{x}{a}+\dfrac{y}{b}\right)=1 $ for positive constants $ a, b, c. $ Prove that the line going through the two points of intersection of the two hyperbolae always go through the origin. That is, prove that the line between the points of intersection is in the form $ kx + jy =0 $ for constants $ k $ and $ j.$

Yea something like that

$For $a,b,c >1$, show that:\\ \\ $\frac{3}{1+abc}\leq \frac{1}{1+a^3}+\frac{1}{1+b^3}+\frac{1}{1+c^3}.$$

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon

Very nice question!

, part (iii) should be proving the result by induction haha

Sy123 · Jan 9, 2014

Re: HSC 2014 4U Marathon

Now try this

$\\ $find$ \ \ \ \cos^2 \theta + \cos^2 2\theta + \dots + \cos^2 n \theta$

Well done, I don't know exactly what you did but the general idea was just doing double angle rule (which you did)
