    Binomial Expansion 2013 Q14B 3UHSC

    2. Show that \left(1+x^2+2x\right)^{2n}=\sum _{k=0}^n\binom{2n}{k}x^{2n-k}\left(x+2\right)^{2n-k}.\: 3. It is known that x^{2n-k}\left(x+2\right)^{2n-k}=\binom{2n-k}{0}2^{2n-k}x^{2n-k}+\binom{2n-k}{1}2^{2n-k-1}x^{2n-k+1}+...+\binom{2n-k}{2n-k}2^{0}x^{4n-2k}. Show that \binom{4n}{2n}=\sum...

    Binomial Expansion 2004 7b 3U HSC

    b) i. Show that for all positive integers n, x\left[\left(1+x\right)^{n-1}+\left(1+x\right)^{n-2}+...+\left(1+x\right)^{2}+\left(1+x\right)+1\right]=\left(1+x\right)^{n}-1. ii. Hence show that for 1≤k≤n, \binom{n-1}{k-1}+\binom{n-2}{k-1}+\binom{n-3}{k-1}+...+\binom{k-1}{k-1}=\binom{n}{k}...

    combs - ALGEBRAIC vowels arrangement 01 HSC q2c

    that is a much faster way - i was drawn to use cases because i got baited by the separate positions for the vowels when actually it doesn't matter for vowel arrangement

    combs - ALGEBRAIC vowels arrangement 01 HSC q2c

    How many arrangements of the letters in the word ALGEBRAIC are possible if the vowels must occupy the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 8th positions? ALGEBRAIC is a 9-letter word Vowels are AAEI, consonants are LGBRC I would solve this using cases: AA in 2rd, 3rd - e and i in 5th, 8th, alongisde 5 consonants...

    Oh I get is now - i did the contradiction proof wrong by assuming the wrong statement :oldmad: thanks tywebb

    Recurrence integration by parts - integrating cotx

    If\:U_1=\int cot^nxdx,\:show\:that\:U_n=\frac{-1}{n-1}cot^{n-1}x-U_{n-2} I'm going to take a while to do latex so here's a picture of my working so far instead: I don't know how to work the integral on the last step. Maybe some hints? (use spoilers) Thanks so much for the help!

    integration by substitution

    like 5uckerberg's correct answer, the general theory behind trig u-sub integration is: If there are all even powers of trig functions, e.g. \int \sin ^2\left(x\right)\cos ^2\left(x\right)dx, then convert everything into cos double angle form, factorise and work from there If there are one or...

    Projectile Motion - smol question about velocity

    on such graph, impact velocity is 10sqrt21 from formula v^2 = xdot^2+ydot^2. I was just wondering, how do you know if we take the positive (as in this case) or the negative velocity? Thanks so much for your help! [edit:] Wait... maybe the answers supposed to be negative 10sqrt21 from...

    Complex 'show' question II

    It is known that z^{3}+\frac{1}{z^{3}}=w^{3}-3w. from this and the quoted solution above (|w^{2}-3|\ge|w|^{2}-3), prove by contradiction that |z^{3}+\frac{1}{z^{3}}|\le2\ \to|z+\frac{1}{z}|\le2. Assuming that |w^{3}-3w|\le2\ \to|w|\le2 to be true, LHS: |w||w^{2}-3|\le2 =...

    USYD Doctor of Clincal Surgery?

    What is this course about that's different to specialising in a clinic after MD? Do you have to take it if you want to become a surgeon? When can you even register to take this course (After Undergrad Med Science? After MD?) [general confusion]

    Sitting posture + stomach creasing

    I'm a pretty skinny (decently low body fat BMI 18) guy and I'm getting stomach creases from poor posture - I sit down for most of my day and mainly do lots of work on a laptop or with physical notes. Any tips for better posture and fewer stomach creases?

    Reduction Integration secx

    Evaluate \int _0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\:sec^4x I know if I(n) = \int \:cos^n\left(x\right)dx then I(n) = \frac{1}{n}sin\left(x\right)cos^{n-1}\left(x\right)+\frac{n-1}{n}I\left(n-2\right) but how would we adapt that to sec^4x? Thanks for the help in advance!

    Complex 'show' question

    Let z be a complex number. Let w=z+\frac{1}{z}. Show that \left|w^2-3\right|>\left|w\right|^2-3. LHS = \left|z^2+2+\frac{1}{z^2}-3\right| = \left|2cos\left(2\theta \right)-1\right| = 4cos^2x-2-1 = \left(2cos\theta \right)^2-3 RHS = \left|z+\frac{1}{z}\right|^2-3 = \left(2cos\theta \right)^2-3...
