I know it's a very 'shonky' proof/deduction lol... How could I improve it? View attachment 28805

If I was marking this, I would give it full marks.
If you want to 'improve' it, I guess you should focus more on the fact that perfect squares cannot have a difference of 1 as that is the heart of the solution.

Well done.

Having problems with this question, so easy, but can't get the answer.

The sum of 50 terms of an arithmetic series is 249 and the sum of 49 terms of the series is 233. Find the 50th term of the series.

I used simultaneous equations to find d, and from that , I got a.

Why is everyone using simultaneous equations to find 'd' fuck.

In the syllabus it falls under 'The Quadratic Polynomial and the Parabola'

Reading linear algebra?

ITT: 50% 3 unit questions

Not really 3U but requires a bit of foresight and experience.

Found it

Damn this looks scary considering I've never seen this topic of maths before

Sorry if I make mistakes with the editing and such, I'm a noob on this website - as you can probably tell by my attempt at using

A nice question I saw in a textbook (not sure if textbook questions are allowed here; it's from SK Patel's book):

If (alpha) and (beta) are the roots of
,
find the equation whose roots are (alpha) - (beta) and (beta) - (alpha).

y=ln(x) mad bro?

Re: HSC 2013 2U Marathon

y=ln(x) mad bro?

Why would he be mad, considering that is one of the obvious choices?
