oh , ye nah.
hsc isn't that mean.
i was gonna say just completely ignored their arctanx and its a show that q was about to fume..., the feeling of realising something so stupid after the exam

If you download the Extension 1 and 2 syllabuses and search for the work arctan, all that pops up is "not found".

Could be a problem.

What? That sounds even more complicated. Can you draw it rather than me trying to interpret your comments and then drawing it wrong.
look i can but its gonna be on a paint.net kinda thing soooo its gonna be kinda shocking

wait this is more correct.
it was 20 lines iirc.
I'm missing a few lines.
yeah all ik is when you choose a point go 4 between and eventually you end up the same spot

Well assuming the reconstruction is approximately correct now, it is clear firstly that the argument of the first root is a quarter that of a+ib.

Secondly that the roots are equally spaced, hence on the lines perpendicular to each other.

Thirdly that the moduli of the roots are smaller than that of a+ib, but still greater than 1.

Fourthly that since a+ib is not a real number then the roots do not occur as conjugate pairs.

Not sure how the marks would be allocated though since it is just a 2 mark question.

This is why I wanted to know more about the modulus of a+ib. If there was something more specific about that, then maybe there might be a mark associated with that too.
i had to use my ruler to measure but it was exactly modulus 7/5 from origin, so i made all my four roots roughly (7/5)^(1/4) just to be safe, so just outside the unit circle
honestly idk if nesa were just being sneaky with making the modulus not 1

Surely its not just me whose reading this and cringing. Seems like everyones out here getting like 90 raws whilst im stuck with my poopy 60s/low 70s xD.

The only comfort im getting is the ability to do this again next year if it does go bum bum. Long story short, HSC is shitty :)

Regardless, good luck for x1 yall, they're prolly gonna be like last year, x1 harder than x2. So all of you getting raw 90s in x2 better watch out !

i think i lost at least 5 marks from silly mistakes (easy marks lost. not the only ones i lost obviously):
13b if you do trig sub (yes it works i did it again) you get a factor of 243 out the front. i forgot to carry this through so carried error, 1 mark
14a 4-x^2 = (4-x)(4+x). enough said, 1 mark
14bii forgot to write to 1 dp, 1 mark
15bii dont know if this is a mistake but after my expression which i know is correct, i forgot to write meters
16c forgot to label axes re(z) and im(z), also shading was a bit off.
