    Ah yeah thanks. Subbed into the equation above that lol. Lol teacher always said if f (x) is a factor of g (x) then g (x) | f (x). Thanks for the clarification

    Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon Hmm isn't ab = sin(theta)cos(theta) and similarly for cd? so ab + cd = sin(theta)cos(theta) + sin(phi)cos(phi)? not sin(theta)cos(phi) + sin(phi)cos(theta)

    Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread Note that y/x = tanx Aim: show dy/dx = tan (pi/4 + t) Note the tan expansion: tan (a+b) = (tana + tanb)/(1-tanatanb) Hence tan (pi/4 + t) = (1 + tant)/(1-tant) So now your aim is to show: dy/dx = (1+ y/x)/(1-y/x) = (x+y)/(x-y)...

    Re: HSC 2015 2U Marathon A point starts at A(0,0). It forms a staircase by moving to the right, cos(18) metres. It then moves up, cos^(2)(18) metres. Then it moves to the right cos^(3)(18) metres and then moves up cos^(4)(18) metres and so on infinitely. Find the angle that the line connecting...
