    Technique identification

    So I know this is really annoying but I found a really good quote for my paragraph and since I totally suck at English, I need help on identifying what technique is in this quote (if there are any in the first place). The quote: "I’m glad it’s a girl. And I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the...

    Re: HSC 2017 MX2 Integration Marathon There might be a way to do this by playing around with the numerator, anyways here's how I did it $ Divide each term by $\sin x I=\int \frac{1+\tan x}{3+4 \tan x}$ d$x \\ $ let $u= \tan x \\ $ d$u=\sec^2 x $ d$x \\ \Rightarrow $...

    Polynomials question

    Well you could form a polynomial with roots alpha^2, beta^2, gamma^2, delta^2. And then finding the sum of roots (-b/a) of that polymomial

    Exponential equations

    A straight forward method to find the real solutions: (2^x-4)^3+(4^x-2)^3=(4^x+2^x-6)^3 \\ $ Let $a\equiv 2^x-4, $ and $b\equiv 4^x-2 \\ \therefore a^3+b^3=(a+b)^3 \\ (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)=(a+b)^3 \\ (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2-a^2-2ab-b^2)=0 \\ -3ab(a+b)=0 \\ \Rightarrow a=0, b=0, a=-b \\ $The first two...

    Is physics related to extension 2 maths?

    lol I heard from my physics teacher that there was this question in HSC astrophysics to find the distance to a star using the distance-modulus formula. Since alot of people don't know logs and couldn't find the exact distance, the marking criteria was lowered so that it is possible to get full...
