    Hardest Trial

    I think I've seen this paper before, and I am not a big fan of your warning.

    Can you put it up online afterwards please?

    Hardest Trial

    A link would be appreciated. I'm interested to see.

    Hardest Trial

    Can you please show us the paper? A low top mark doesn't exactly mean a hard test.

    Probability of Divisibility.

    I made a mistake because I miscounted the sequence. The answer is 2/3.

    Probability of Divisibility.

    \\ S_n = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3 }{9}} = \frac{\sqrt {\sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3} }{3} $ but one cool property of the Triangular Numbers is that if we define the nth Triangular Number to be $ T_n $, then $ \sum_{k=1}^{n} k^3 = T_n ^2 $ so what we actually have there is $ S_n = \frac{T_n}{3}...

    Preliminary 3U Paper - Realise Edition

    Question 4 (b), you didn't define X, though trivially the maximum and minimum values are plus/minus root 2 anyway.

    2008 Independent Ext2 last question

    But it is probably one of the first inequalities you are taught to prove in Harder Extension 1. Either way, I like asianese's method more because he proved both directions of the statement, having the 'iff', whereas yours only proves one.

    mechanics q

    I think the confusion came from the fact that suppose we have ma=kv^2, then k can be considered to be mpv^2, where p is some constant, in which case we have a=pv^2. It's just notation, which should be specified in the question.

    2008 Independent Ext2 last question

    I'm seeing two contradictory statements. If you have to prove it, then no memorising is required. Also, you used the Cosine Rule. If anything, that is more 'memorising' than asianese's inequality.

    I like this method better. Less brute in nature.

    Interesting question - complex nos - region sketching

    3 solutions. Solution #1: 0 to pi/6 Solution #2: 2pi/3 to 5pi/6 Solution #3: -pi/2 to -2pi/3 All of which are acquired similarly to general solutions. Interesting note: These loci are used to generate diagrams such as the Radiation Symbol, due to their cyclic nature.

    Quadratic Real Roots

    \\ $Find all positive integers $ n $ for which the quadratic equation$ \\\\ a_{n+1}x^2-2x\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}a_i ^2} + \sum_{i=1}^{n} a_i=0 \\\\ $has real roots $ \forall a_i \in \mathbb{R} $ where $ i \in [1,n+1]

    Number of terms.

    I've been told that the notation might be hard to understand for those who haven't seen it before. (x_1)(x_1+x_2)(x_1+x_2+x_3)(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4)...(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+...+x_n)

    Number of terms.

    $Find the number of terms in the expansion of $ \prod_{j=1}^{n}\left (\sum_{i=1}^{j} x_i \right )
