    Induction in 4unit

    Too hard.. will either need some theory of fields or complex analysis to do this.

    Polynomial

    Yes and No.. the actual steps doesn't use much beyond year 10 advanced maths + complex number knowledge, roughly: 1. divide through by 2. 2. let z = x - 1/2, substitute and you will get the equation: x^3 + 13/4 x + 3/4 = 0 3. do another subsitution, letting x = w - 13/(12w) you will get...

    Polynomial

    Every poly nomial factorizes..In the HSC they load it so that you get a nice rational factor (a cubic doesn't usually factorize so nicely!).. and that's why trying those numbers work.. but for your original cubic, the factors are not nice so you'll need to use the cubic formula. f you change...

    Polynomial

    you mean *rational* all cubics with real coefficients have atleast 1 real solution, just that this one doesn't look particularly nice

    Conics

    given point P 1. find gradient of tangent at P 2. Find gradient of PS 3. Find gradient of PS' 4. use the result relating the tangent of the angle between 2 lines and their gradients.

    factors are not nice, you will need to use the cubic formula: Cubic Formula -- from Wolfram MathWorld

    Complex |z-1|<|z-i|

    you cna read that inequation as the distance of z to 1 is less than its distance to i or z is closer to 1 than i

    Formal limits

    Replace L by 0 and.. the implication has to go the other way remember it's for all epsilon's there's a M such that |f(x) - limit| < epsilon for all x > M

    Subbing infinity into limits of an Integral

    That j is probably sqrt(-1) so doesn't quite work that way suspect the original poster made mistake somewhere. seems like it's some fourier transform. can you post the question?

    Complex Help

    or you can: z(1-ki) = (k-1) + (k+1)i |z||1-ki| = |(k-1) + (k+1)i| since k is real |z|(sqrt(1+k^2)) = sqrt((k-1)^2+ (k+1)^2) = sqrt(2(k^2 + 1)) = sqrt(2) sqrt(k^2+1) so |z| = sqrt(2)

    Argand Diagram... S:

    1 + cos(2pi/3) + i*sin(2pi/3) = 1 - 1/2 + i*sqrt(3)/2 = 1/2 + i*sqrt(3)/2 = cos(pi/3) + i*sin(pi/3)
