very simple question but explores something quite cool, how we can have infinite volume but the area of the cross-section is infinite.

Sy your summation of products of triangular numbers & sines question is raping me. Hint plz?

so far I've been working with Re( (z+z^2+...+z^n) + 2(z^2 + ... + z^n) + ... + n(z^n) ), then simplified that with geometric series, but it's not getting anywhere.

You got this right?

$\sum_{k=1}^{n} \cos k \theta = \frac{\cos \theta -1 + \cos n\theta - \cos (n+1)\theta}{2-2\cos \theta}$

$\sum_{k=1}^{n} \sin k \theta = \frac{\sin \theta + \sin n\theta - \sin(n+1)\theta}{2-2\cos \theta}$

Then differentiation

A bag contains 12 red marbles and 12 yellow marbles. Six marbles are selected
at random without replacement.
(i) Calculate the probability that exactly three of the selected marbles 1 are red. Give your answer correct to two decimal places.
(ii) Hence, or otherwise, calculate the probability that more than three 2 of the selected marbles are red. Give your answer correct to two
decimal places.

If the polynomial:
x^3 + 3px^2 + 3qx + r = 0 has a double root. Show that the double roots must be (pq-r)/(2q-p^2).

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon

Has anyone done integration yet? Don't wanna post anything you guys haven't done. Actually this is quite appropriate, I think it's around Q14 level

$$Suppose$\; 0 \leq a < b.\; $Let$\;f(x)=\frac{1}{1+x^2},\;x \in [a,b]$

$$a) \;Prove that$\; \frac{1}{1+b^2}<\frac{\tan^{-1}b-\tan^{-1}a}{b-a}<\frac{1}{1+a^2}$

$$b) \;i) Show that$\; \tan \frac{3\pi}{8}=1+\sqrt{2}$

$$\;ii) \;Hence evaluate$\;\tan \frac{\pi}{24}$

$$c)\;Deduce$\;3(\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2})<\pi< \24(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}-2)$

Note: You are NOT allowed to use the mean value theorem for part a) only HSC methods. However a hint would be to use integration.

Ok first we want to know what this looks like, it is an argand diagram with complex numbers $z$ and $w$ .

Now since it is an equilateral triangle, $z=w$ due to all sides being the same length. Hence $z^2+w^2=z^2+z^2=2z^2$

Now let $z=x+iy$ , then by substitution we get:

$2z^2 = 2(x+iy)^2 = 2(x^2-y^2+2xyi)$

So we end up with:

$z^2 + w^2 = 2z^2 = 2(x^2-y^2+2xyi)$

A really big thanks to your contributions for helping me and other students for our upcoming half yearlies!

I'm really looking forward to future questions that you have to offer!

With respect, that is wrong... |z|=|w| is, however, correct.

Sorry, it's been a while since I've done complex numbers.
