    Re: HSC 4U Integration Marathon 2017 Lol i think this method is a complete unintended tedious one use the substitution x=sqrt(3)sin(theta). the new limits are now 0 to sin^-1(1/sqrt(3)). and dx=sqrt(3)cos(theta). Sub it in, the integrand becomes 9sin^2(theta)cos^2(theta). Which can be written...

    Rectangle Max Question

    You're in the right track. The question says that the entire frame has the height h, and width y. like this: . So doing what u basically did, you'll get 3h+4y=12. Making y the subject, you get 1/4(12-3h).

    Re: HSC 2018 4U Marathon An alternate method (also a more tedious one, esp at the end): $\noindent$ z\neq 1\Rightarrow z-1\neq 0 \\\therefore $ by dividing all terms by $ (z-1)^6,$ we get $ 1+\frac{(z+1)^6}{(z-1)^6}=0\\\Rightarrow \left ( \frac{z+1}{z-1} \right )^{6}=-1 \\ \Rightarrow...

    If any data is given in the question, always round up your answers to the lowest significant figures given in the question. For example "if 0.20 g of something reacts with 0.7255 g of something else" then your final answer should be in 2 sig figs, cause of 0.20 which has the least sig figs...

    Complex Number Question

    hopefully this is clearer than before $\noindent a) Since all the cooefficients are real, due to the conjugate root theorem, $3+2i$ is also a root. Now the sum of roots is $-b=3+2i+3-2i=6\Rightarrow b=-6\\ $ The product of the roots is $c=(3+2i)(3-2i)=13\\ \\ $b) Since all the coefficients are...
