    Cambridge Prelim MX1 Textbook Marathon/Q&A

    Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread I have tried the method you suggested and all other methods I can think of at least twice and I still can't get it - could you please show your working if you have time? I get Q (-2(p+(2/p)), (p+(2/p))^2), is that right?

    Re: HSC 2016 2U Marathon well i checked my working and i can't find anything wrong - its probably because you have z^3/x^3 as your last term where as i have y^3/x^3

    Re: HSC 2016 2U Marathon Ceebs posting full working this late, hopefully this is right: $Let$\quad a=\frac { x }{ y } ,\quad b=\frac { y }{ z } ,\quad c=\frac { z }{ x } \\ $Using\quad identity$\quad { a }^{ 3 }+{ b }^{ 3 }+{ c }^{ 3 }={ (a+b+c) }^{ 3 }+3(a+b+c)(ab+ac+bc)-3abc,\\ \frac { { x...

    Re: HSC 2016 2U Marathon nono you can do it without any 3u i just did a dumb way hahaha edit: Wait nvm you need 3u identity to transform cos 2x if youre using cosine rule oops Let\quad s=slant\quad side\quad of\quad cone\\ { s }^{ 2 }={ r }^{ 2 }+{ r }^{ 2 }-2{ r }^{ 2 }cos(180°-2x)\\ { s...

    Re: HSC 2016 2U Marathon thanks for the tip! sorry for not including a diagram earlier-hopefully this makes it clear (angle subtended at centre double angle subtended at circumference from circle geo) Also: my bad i used 3u identities to transform sin2x - you can do it with cosine rule and...

    Re: HSC 2016 3U Marathon What if we just make one for both Cambridge textbooks? I think a lot of the questions are coming for ext1 are coming from the yr 11 and yr 12 cambridge textbooks (eg. all of mine haha). At the moment there's a thread for yr 11 cambridge but not for yr12

    Noble gases can react under extreme conditions - usually very high temperature and an extremely electronegative reactant (eg. oxygen/fluorine) are required
