    Help on a De Moirvre's Question

    first thing that comes to mind is that there is a change from theta on the LHS to theta/2 on the RHS so u could try using double angle formula. and heyyyy, tht means you can get rid of the 1's in both brackets. and then de moivre's from then on

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon I'd assume it's meant to be 1-cos(theta)-isin(theta) for the denominator. In which case, I think using double angle formulae will work out.

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Oh right, not sure if 1st line is right. But I think the question is leading on into expressing z^(2n+1) -1 in (z-z1)(z-z2)(z-z3)... form, where z1, z2, z3... are roots of z^(2n+1)=1

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon a) Find, in modulus-argument form, the roots of the equation z^(2n+1) =1. b) Hence factorise z^2n + z^(2n-1) + ... + z^2 + z +1 into quadratic factors with real coefficients. c) Deduce that 2^n * sin(pi/(2n+1)) * sin(2pi/(2n+1)) * sin(3pi/(2n+1)) ...

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Expressing 957 in its prime factors: 3*11*29 Now, a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)=957 So now, take turns making a+b and a-b, from the factors of 957. 1. let a+b=957 a-b=1 2a=958 therefore, a = 479, b=478 2. let a+b=3*11 a-b=29 2a=62 therefore, a=31, b=2 3. let...

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Lol, is the answer a = 479, b=478; c=31, d=2; a=45, b = 42; c=161, d=158

    Math question which I am confused about

    Well, put simply, by squaring both sides, you're effectively changing the equation to whole new different equation. For example, consider the equation x=1. Now, this is the same as asking where on the Cartesian plane, does the line y=x intersect with the line y=1. Now obviously, there's only...

    Need help with question!

    lol no problem. If it continues to produce an error, I can send it to your email if you want. Although, I must warn, that these solutions are really dodgy sometimes. i.e. they skip steps and usually provides unsatisfactory working out, in terms of marking criteria and also uses really dodgy methods.
