Post any questions within the scope and level of Mathematics Extension 2 mainly targeting Q16 difficulty in the HSC.

Any questions beyond the scope of the HSC syllabus should be posted in the Extracurricular Topics forum:
http://community.boredofstudies.org...hematics-extension-2/360463/...icular-topics/

Once a question is posted, it needs to be answered before the next question is raised.

I encourage all current students in particular to participate in this marathon.

Question:
Using MX2 methods & complex numbers, find an expression for (degrees)


Edit 6/3/17: I have moved some of the advanced questions to this forum...

Yeah fair enough, they were a lot easier back in the day.

Still should probably put questions like it in the advanced thread (Dan only created it today I believe, but for the last couple of years we have usually split the questions into two marathons, one for routine stuff and one for questions at HSC Q16 difficulty or above. As long as it is still within syllabus of course).

Question:
Using MX2 methods & complex numbers, find an expression for the cos 36.
Note that . Consider whose roots are . Thus the roots of are . Note that are the conjugates of respectively.

By comparison of coefficients for we get:
and
These are the sum of roots and product of roots of the quadratic equation; .
, but . Thus
