    Inequality Help!!!!!!

    This whole problem works on the fact that \frac{x+y}{2} \geq \sqrt{xy} This is called the AM-GM inequality because \frac{x+y}{2} is the arithmatic mean and \sqrt{xy} geometric mean. Note that is is equivilent to x+y \geq 2\sqrt{xy} x+y \geq 2\sqrt{xy} x + 2 \geq 2\sqrt{2x} y+2...

    Help completing a sample paper

    Whoops, for 1 (b) I solved \log_{5} \left(x+2\right) - \log_{5}\left(x-2\right) = 1 instead of \log_{5} \left(x+2\right) + \log_{5}\left(x-2\right) = 1 The solution is as follows, \log_{5} \left(\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)\right) = 1 \left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right) = 5 x^2 -...

    Help completing a sample paper

    Question 1 (a) x^2 - 5x - 24 P: -24x^2 S: -5x We must look for numbers that multiply together to give -24 and sum to give -5. So we know we will have a negative number and a positive number because when multiplied it is the only way you can get a negative number. The factors of 24 are...

    Math Comp Qs

    Close, but it is actually 14 because 1 x 9 is the same as 3 x 3.

    Do you like maths?

    perhaps, but the point im trying to make is that it is not necessarily true that who ever studies the most comes first.

    Do you like maths?

    I did very little study compared to my year 12 friend for the HSC Mathematics half yearly, and i came 1st and he came 10th.

    Maths question !

    when x = e, y = \frac{1}{e} \therefore \left( e, \frac{1}{e} \right) :D

    Extension One Revising Game

    As no one has been able to solve Trebla problem, then (if you dont mind Trebla), for the sake of furthering the progress of this thread, i will post a new question. given f(x) = \sin\left(\omega x + \phi \right) where \omega > 0 and \left|\phi \right| < \frac{\pi}{2} if...

    What subjects will you pick next year?

    In the Subject Selection Handbook: "You must be studying the Advanced English Course to do the extension course."

    Maths question !

    whoops, i forgot to finnish the question! For stationary points, dy/dx is zero \frac{1 - ln x}{x^2} = 0 1 - ln x = 0 ln x = 1 log_{e} x = 1 e^1 = x \therefore x = e Testing both sides of the derivative with e On the left side of e: \frac{dy}{dx} > 0 On the right side of e...

    Guide to selecting your HSC Courses

    English Extension 1 is basically an english course that introduces some more topics related to english, such as literature or philosophy. It is not an alternative to English advanced, just an extension. It is worth 1 unit. Perhaps you should just give Maths extension 1 a go, and if you dont...
