    Re: HSC 2017 MX2 Integration Marathon $Let$\quadI=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x}{\varphi - \cos^2{x}} dx By the reflection property we have 2I=\pi\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{\varphi - \cos^2{x}} dx A quick sketch (\varphi-\cos^{2}x=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}-\cos2x)) lets us deduce that...

    Hours of study

    It's not about how many hours you do but the quality of them. Sounds cliche but it's really not going to help you doing questions for eight hours straight (It's said that the average can only concentrate effectively for about 30 minutes ). For me, I just did the homework exercise set everyday...

    Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon Interesting result, but do you know a method that involves using the binomial theorem? the above proof of palindromic polynomials seems too long to write in an exam given the question was two marks

    After Trials

    Do all the hsc past papers; if you find any topic particularly challenging/difficult try to work more on those separately by doing textbook questions. Furthermore, the topics that tend to be considered hard in extension 1 can also found in extension 2 (eg. projectile motion, counting, circle...
