    integration by substitution

    Is this the first time you saw this question? If so then I understand why this question felt a bit difficult. Here let us start. Step 1: \int{\sin^{2}x\cos^{3}xdx}=\int{\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x\cdot{\cos{x}}dx} Step 2...

    3d vectors qn

    Good attempt however this is beyond the scope of the NSW Mathematics Extension I syllabus.

    trig inequality qn

    It should be less than \frac{\pi}{2}+k\pi but greater than or equal to \frac{\pi}{4}+k\pi. The other solution is because when x=\frac{\pi}{2} the result is undefined or infinity so therefore, the value has to be smaller than x=\frac{\pi}{2} and the +k\pi comes from the fact the tan function...

    trig inequality qn

    Simple play \sin{2x}-2\sin^{2}x>0 2\sin{x}\cos{x}-2\sin^{2}x>0 2\sin{x}\left(\cos{x}-\sin{x}\right)>0 Now we use something called the auxiliary angle for \left(\cos{x}-\sin{x}\right)=R\cos\left(x+\alpha\right) Expand\;R\cos\left(x+\alpha\right)=R\cos{x}\cos{\alpha}-R\sin{x}\sin{\alpha}...

    92 3U HSC Q6c)ii): Binomial Question⌄

    I have a different take on this one, given the pattern of the binomial question you will have \left(1-x\right)^{n}=1-\begin{pmatrix}n\\1\end{pmatrix}x+\begin{pmatrix}n\\2\end{pmatrix}x^{2}+...+\begin{pmatrix}n\\n\end{pmatrix}\left(-x\right)^{n} Integrate that and you will have...

    trig equation qn

    The problem is that \cos{\frac{\pi}{3}}+|\sin\frac{\pi}{6}| is actually 1 which is 1\neq{0}

    trig equation qn

    \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\cot^{2}x}}and that to help you understand here is a simple example \sqrt{x^{2}}=\pm{x}=|x|

    trig equation qn

    i re-did the question based off of this and ended up getting the appropriate solutions, it didn't seem obvious to me before, but rather than simplifying 1 + cot^2(x) to csc^2(x), i changed cot to cos/sin, then with some simplifying you end up with cos2x + |sinx| = 0, then you solve considering...

    trig equation qn

    You can actually rule out the \pm\frac{\pi}{6}+k\pi solution because the equation does not match.

    trig equation qn

    I believe that instead of \cos{2x}+\sin{x} the question is \cos{2x}-\sin{x} and next step you just have 1-2\sin^{2}x-\sin{x}=0 2\sin^{2}x+\sin{x}-1=0 \left(\sin{x}+1\right)\left(2\sin{x}-1\right) \sin{x}=-1, \frac{1}{2} \sin{x}=\pm\frac{\pi}{2}+2k\pi, \pm\frac{\pi}{6}+k\pi. This I believe is...

    trig equation qn

    With the \frac{-\pi}{2}+2k\pi solution I believe that they took the negative root as well which can be justified through similar working.

    inv functions question from 2004 3U HSC paper

    When will people ever learn that some of the old questions are still related to the new syllabus like inverse functions.

    Volume of solids of revolution - Circle Q

    With part b is the volume just a donut and from memory the volume is simply a circle multiplied by the dough formed by the circumference of the circle being rotated around the y-axis.

    MX1 FWWF graphing relationships

    y=\frac{4x^{2}}{x^{2}-9}=4+\frac{36}{x^{2}-9} First, off focus on \frac{36}{x^{2}-9} differentiate that we will have \frac{-2x}{\left(x^{2}-9\right)^{2}} and if you differentiate it again then we will have...

    help for complex numbers question

    That would be correct if the question was find three cube roots of the complex number 8i but instead the answer is \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt[3]{2}}

    help for complex numbers question

    Step 1 Draw an Argand diagram with the complex number specified Step 2 Write in mod-arg form. \sqrt{3}+i=2\left(\cos{\frac{\pi}{6}}+i\sin{\frac{\pi}{6}}\right) Step 3 Rewrite step 2 but instead modify the mod-arg form so that it looks like this...

    Which tutoring centres pay is tutors the most

    If I want to write something then I can say people who go to Dr Du, keep going there because it gives us free maths questions to look at due to continuous anecdotes from students that the Dr du centre does not provide effective help for its students and tells students to look at the notes given...
