Here are my worked solutions to the Mathematics (2Unit) HSC 2006. I apologise to those who downloaded the earlier versions, there were some minor calculation errors that have been fixed in the newer version of the solutions available here.

Fixes:
  • The proof of Q6 a) iii. is now included as is Q7 which were accidentally left out.
  • Small trig evaluation errors made in evaluating sin of 2pi/3 were corrected.
  • The final two questions Q10 b) iv. and v. will be added shortly.
Once again I sincerely apologise if you were worried because you downloaded a earlier solution file. You must excuse me I was working the solutions late between 11-12pm at night and small errors seem to be the consequence of that.

Mathematics (2Unit) HSC Solutions - 2006 (v1.25)
(Question 10 b) iv. v. will be included in v1.3)

Question 4a ii and iii are wrong.. use cosine rule instead... answer for bd should have been the square root of 27

Isn't the sine rule question in q1 wrong too?

i have a lil discrepancy with 2)c)
i got a far more complicated equation than that.
i got the same gradient.

but instead of doing x=0 and y=1,
i used found out y via x-> y=cos2x
which gave y= 1/2

and then did y-y1=m(x-x1)
which equaled
y- 1/2 = -(sqrt3)[x- pi/6]
2y - 1 = -x[sqrt3] + [[pi](sqrt3)]/6
-> x[sqrt3] + 2y - 1 - (pi[sqrt3])/6 = 0



welll that's just me .. . lol

y - 1/2 = -(sqrt3)[x - pi/6]
2y -1 = -2(sqrt3)[x - pi/6]
2y -1 = -2(sqrt3)x +([sqrt3]pi/3)
2(sqrt3)x +2y -1 -(pi[sqrt3]/3) = 0

i think you will find :D ... Changed the solutions accordingly grr.. stupid mistakes i made late at night.

I've moved the file to a faster server, so you should be able to download the solutions easier now, thanks shinji for your help :D
