    integration by substitution

    Yeah, this is how i used to do it during my HSC. just multiply the 3 into the square root. So; dy/dx=4/sqrt(9-16x^2)

    exact value

    Yeah, only way there'd be a nice solution is if x E Q. And there's isn't one for this cubic.

    exact value

    Nah, it isn't lol. I don't think they'll ask such crap questions. They're more likely to ask tan(15)=tan(45-30)
  4. shaon0

    exact value

    There's probably a shorter way than using tan(105/3) but find the expansion of tan3@ and then let @=x/3. You'll get x^3-3Kx^2-3x+K=0 where K=tan(105). And then just use the cubic formula lol. And sub in a hell lot of values.

    Integration.

    Your answer is right but your upper limit is meant to be 1/2.ln(3)

    exact value

    tan((60+45)/3)

    integration by substitution question

    Terms of odd powers cancel, so the middle term of the quadratic has to be minus in this case.

    integration by substitution question

    I=S[3,8] (x+1-1)/sqrt(x+1)(sqrt(x+1)-1) dx Let u^2=x+1, 2u du=dx: I=S[2,3] (u^2-1)/u(u-1) 2u du =2 S[2,3] (u+1) du =2 [1/2u^2+u] {2,3} =2 (9/2+3-2-2) =2(1/2+3) =7

    integration by substitution question

    I=S dx/(4+x^2)^3/2 Let x=2tan@, dx=2sec^2@ d@ I=S 2sec^2 @ d@ / 4^(3/2).sec ^3 @ =1/4 S cos@ d@ =1/4.sin@ +C = 1/4.sin(atan(x/2)) +C = 1/4.x/sqrt(4+x^2) +C

    2009 past hsc solutions cant find them ><

    Just make the top into 1+x^2-x^2 and you'll get: I= S [1,sqrt(3)] sqrt(1+x^2)/x^2 dx-S[1,sqrt(3)] 1/sqrt(1+x^2) dx then let x=tanu. I think you can do the rest

    4 Unit Revising Marathon HSC '10

    Apparently not.
  12. shaon0

    Roots of unity

    Yeah, think so.
  13. shaon0

    A quick question

    K=a/(b^3*c^2) =(2/5)^4/[(-1/3)^3(3/5)^4] =[(2/5)^4/(3/5)^4]*1/(-1/27) =-27*[2/5/3/5]^4 =-27*[2/3]^4 =[-(3)^3/(3)^4].2^4 =-1/3.2^4 =-(2^4)/3 =-(2^4)*3^(-1)
  14. shaon0

    Yeah, nw.

    Yeah, nw.
  15. shaon0

    needs some background knowledge ><

    Yeah probably, but it's a pretty funky question.
  16. shaon0

    needs some background knowledge ><

    I don't think the question is correct as y(1)=c.e^-b=0 but e^-b=/=0

    Complex No q

    What does iii) say? I can't read it. May think about it later if someone decides to decipher what iii) says.

    Certain uni's offer bonus points depending on the marks you get in relevent courses eg E4 in 3u maths could be worth 2 bonus pts. These bonus pts only decrease the cut-off mark for a uni course and doesn't actually boost your ATAR.

    Need help with this integration Q !

    Thats incorrect. Divide by e^2x. I=S dx/e^2x+e^x = -S e^-x.-e^-x/(1+e^-x) dx = -S u du/(1+u) = S 1/(u+1) -1 du = ln(u+1)-u +C = ln(e^-x+1)-e^-x+C
