    do you agree with the decision to remove euler's formula from the syllabus?

    you could also add that many questions assume the fundamental theorem of calculus, whilst the proof of the theorem is far beyond the syllabus

    do you agree with the decision to remove euler's formula from the syllabus?

    would euler's formula not be useful in solving equations such as \sin(\theta)=2 and \log(x)=-1? or are these not able to be assessed within the scope of the hsc

    proj motion qn

    since u know that 0< sin(theta) < 1 since 0<theta<pi/2 , u can just put the expression for sin(theta) into the inequality. normally to solve the inequality u would multiply both sides by 14T but yk that T > 0 so u can just multiply everything by T without worrying about the sign switching.

    stuck qs help needed

    are these really axioms though? from what i remember from ext 1 is that enumerative combinatorics its built upon the addition principle, multiplication principle and the inclusion-exclusion principle, which can be all be proven. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/225265/prove-sum-product-rule

    1) a rectangle is composed of 2 sides. in a 9x9 grid u can make a rectangle by drawing 2 lines vertically and 2 lines horizontally. theres 10 horizontal lines and 10 vertical lines and hence the number of rectangles is 10C2 x 10C2 2) https://boredofstudies.org/threads/probability-question.84117/...

    How to prevent stupid mistakes on exam day?

    personally for me i check my answers as soon as i finish the problem (checking computations and the logic behind each step). if i check every question for the first time after its abit overwhelming and sometimes i forget what i actually did in the problem.

    4u integration qn

    surely if we use out of syllabus methods a competent examiner will give us full marks for it. like in this question for example if someone used tywebbs solution or even a contour integral we should be awarded full marks. iirc in last years ext 1 hsc people were still awarded marks for using the...

    \text{Let points }A(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } B(x_2,y_2) \text{ be points on the curve } y=ae^{bx} \text{Substituting these in we have: } y_1=ae^{bx_1} \text{ and } y_2=ae^{bx_2} \text{Dividing y1 by y2 yields: }\frac{y_1}{y_2} = e^{b(x_1 - x_2)} b(x_1 - x_2) = \ln\left(\frac{y_1}{y_2}\right)...

    Integral question

    i recently found another way to do this integral and thought it was pretty cool \int \frac{x^2 - 1}{x^2+1}\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x^4}} = \int \frac{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}{1+\frac{1}{x^2}}\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2\left(x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\right)}} =\int \frac{ 1 - \frac{1}{x^2} }{\left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)...

    Reduction Formula Help

    after using ibp try rationalising the numerator (multiplying by sqrt(1-x^2)/sqrt(1-x^2)). should be pretty obvious from there

    MATH1151 HELP

    shouldnt it be k^8 det(A) as when a row/column is multiplied by a scalar k then det(A) increases by a factor of k? so since its an 8x8 matrix it would be k^8?

    MATH1151 HELP

    u can write det(WM^-1) as \det (-4MM^{T}M^{-1}) = -4\det(MM^{T}M^{-1}) =-4\det(M)\det(M^{T}M^{-1}) =-4\det(M)\det(MM^{-1}) = -4\det(M) u could also split the product up at the start to get \det (-4MM^{T}M^{-1}) = -4\det(M)\det(M^{T})\det(M^{-1}) =-4\det(M)\det(M)\frac{1}{\det(M)} =-4\det(M)

    inequality problem

    u can consider cases as |x+1| = -(x+1) for x< -1 and |x-5| = -(x-5) for x < 5. then from there u just solve the inequality for each case (x<-1, -1<x<5 , x > 5) for example -1<x<5 we have: x+1-(x-5) > 7 => -4 > 7 which isnt true so theres no value of x between -1 and 5 that satisfies the...

    one way to approach it is using the sum to product identity (sin(A+B) - sin(A-B) = 2cosAsinB).
