    Re: If I roll a marble down a ramp and of the edge of a bench or something why does . do they have the same radius?

    forgot how to do easy proving in complex number :(

    arg(z1/z2) = 日1-日2 arg(z1/z2) = arg(z1) - arg(z2)

    Help with these fractions..=S

    wtf we didnt learn that until high school

    Help with these fractions..=S

    well you don't add/multiply fractions either in primary school the question is just to test your mathematical ability. it doesn't necessarily need to be a primary school problem.

    Help Please

    x = 1 or 2 for the positive case not sure if the negative case is possible to solve, apart from doing approximations

    Maths Q

    1-2k>1/2 2k<1/2 k<1/4 k2<1/16 8k2<1/2 1-2k>8k2 (1-2k)/k2 > 8 assuming 0 < k < 0.25 is what you meant

    PREMUTATIONS/COMBINATIONS - the Difference.

    a) 8! -> just order the 8 people b)4!*4!*2 -> order each of the 4 girls and boys, multiply by 2 since either girls or boys could be in the odd/even spots c) first view the 2 girls as one person -> this gives 7! ways. but the 2 girls can order themselves in 2! ways, so 7!*2! d) now, we firstly...

    Cube Roots of Unity

    you could just say w3 = 1 (w3)2 = 1 (w2)3 = 1 so w2 is also a cube root of unity

    Indices trouble

    ^except that the -2's have been turned into -2's 4^{-2}\times6^3\times8^4\times12^{-2} \\ = 2^{-4}\times 2^3\times 3^3\times 2^{12}\times 2^{-4}\times 3^{-2}\\ = 2^7 \times 3\\ = 384

    Really quick question

    well yeah. if it's impossible to solve the question otherwise, just assume it's regular

    Another Primitive Functions,

    lol this was in the other thread y" = 8, for all x values. then you integrate and evaluate constants

    Binomial Thereom Q

    there will be 2 answers, since it's an even power (you can factor out the -1) like how (x+1)2 = (-x-1)2

    Factorize Help

    woah what's going on there it's using difference of two squares (a2+b2)2 - 2ab = (a2+b2 + sqrt{2ab})(a2+b2 - sqrt{2ab})

    Volume with Simpson's Rule?

    +4y12 same as the normal simpson's rules, but using the areas

    Primitive functions..

    there's your mistake D = 1 + 3 - 1/6 = +3 5/6 this gives f(2) = 20.5
  17. L

    Primitive functions..

    maybe if I rephrase the question it would help? y" = 8 when x=1, y' = 0 when x=1, y=3 fine the equation of y. (it's just integrating and evaluating constants)

    Primitive of inverse sin

    yeah, use substitution/reverse chain rule

    Primitive functions..

    sorry, i subbed the wrong value of t into the expression I think y = 4x2 - 8x + 7 would be the solution to the second one. i don't complete get the question though (the way it's worded maybe?)
  20. L

    Primitive functions..

    why do the questions you have use partial derivatives? since those aren't dealt with in HSC maths I'll just use the usual notation: \frac{dx}{d t} = (t-3)^2\\ \int \frac{dx}{d t} dt = \int (t-3)^2dt\\ \int dx = \frac {1}{3}(t-3)^3 + C\\ x = \frac {1}{3}(t-3)^3 + C when t = 0, x = 7 7 =...
