    IB interview brain teaser

    i'm quite sure you can't get it in less than 7. you have to race each horse at least once, or you'll have horses you don't know the relative placing of. and you have to race some horses more than once to get their placing relative to each other, so you need more than 5 races. I know this doesn't...

    Perms proof

    (can't confirm that this is actually correct) if we have n objects, then n-1 can go in the first spot. now, say we consider the spot of the object that was just placed in the first spot. There are also n-1 objects that go in this spot. Now, we consider the spot of the object that took that...

    Conclusion to Mathematical Induction?

    as it is true for n=1 (or whatever other number) and if true for n=k it is true for n=k+1, it is true for all integers n>=1

    De Moivre's Theorem

    (the centre point is D) OA and OB represent each of 1+sin(pi/7)+icos(pi/7) and 1+sin(pi/7)-icos(pi/7). Angles DBA and DAB = pi/7, so angles ADC and BDC = 5pi/14 as they are complementary. Each of OD, AD and BD have a modulus of 1, and so can be inscribed in a circle. From circle geo, we know...

    Tricky Geometry Help!

    my solution http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/6962/geotrigsolutionaj8.jpg I labelled all the angles without proving, that bit should be simple enough to figure out. I let QR = 1 so the calculations would be a less messy, but it works if you make it x or whatever just a -tad- simpler than...

    Extension One Revising Game

    let: tan -1 [(ax)/(1-bx)] = A, tan -1 [(x-b)/a] = B calculating tan(A-B) gives: ( a2x - x + b + bx2 - b2x)/(a + ax2 - 2abx) subbing in -x = -a2x - b2x gives (b(x2+1) - 2b2x)/(a(x2+1) - 2ab) = b/a (x2 + 1 - 2b)/(x2 + 1 - 2b) = b/a so tan -1 [(ax)/(1-bx)] - tan -1 [(x-b)/a] = tan-1(b/a) which...
