How harsh are markers if you don't put in the specific units required for measurements like area or volume of a curve? (eg units, units^2 and units ^3)?

If the question gives things in cm, yes you would probably lose a mark.

Re: HSC 2015 3U Marathon



Someone give me a kick start to this. This is the last question from Sydney Boys High School in Surry Hills. I've been thinking about the distance OM. My thinking is OM is in the centre of the triangle? I've tried using half the distance between CM, one-third the distance of the height from CM (presuming its the centre of a triangle)

Woah... is that actually suitable for 3U? I can't work my way around multidimensional induction

With part (v) to this question I was wondering if you could use related rates in order to solve for the maximum? (Or calculus maximum/minimum values) I need a kick start to this question.

Maximise LHS by maximising RHS and how do you maximise RHS? (hint: fraction)

Ding dong, calculus problem without needing to go nuts on differentiating that junk mindlessly.

Someone give me a gee up for this question.



I don't want to look at my formulae book or solutions. I want someone on here to tell me the right formula to use.(without giving the answer) I learn more from discussing with people.

Use the angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference
