    Mathematics Extension 1 Predictions/Thoughts

    14(b)(ii) The graphs suggest that as c increases from c=0.8 to c=1, there should be some point where the graph has exactly one x-intercept. Furthermore, that x-intercept will be a double root, as indicated by there is also a stationary point. Therefore, let f(x) = x^4 - 2cx^3 + 1, and f'(x) =...

    Does anyone know if the year 11 content is also examinable for the new calculus syllabuses?

    Integration MC Question - North Sydney Boys 2017 Trial

    As correctly stated, A and B are good because they both equal to 0, soo they are ruled out. C fails because by taking the odd function f(x) = -x^3, we have \begin{align*} &\quad\int_{-a}^0 f(x)\,dx + \left| \int_0^a f(x)\,dx \right|\\ &= \int_{-a}^0 -x^3\,dx + \left| \int_0^a -x^3\,dx...

    MX2 Integration Marathon

    Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Integration Marathon $\noindent Take $f(x)$ to be any arbitrary odd function well defined for all $ -\frac\pi2 \leq x \leq \frac\pi2\\ $and let $ I = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \frac{\cos x}{e^{f(x)}+1}\,dx. $\noindent Considering the substitution $u=-x,\\ \begin{align*}I&=...

    Announcement from BOSTES/NESA - 2019 Syllabus Changes for Calculus courses

    I interpreted that as something like $Find the area between the curves $y=x^2$ and $y=1-x^2

    Announcement from BOSTES/NESA - 2019 Syllabus Changes for Calculus courses

    Looks like it says "area under curve" which implied just x-axis to me? Unless "under" actually includes "to the left of" as well

    Announcement from BOSTES/NESA - 2019 Syllabus Changes for Calculus courses

    This is a bit dumb but are areas w.r.t. the y-axis still in the maths advanced syllabus? I can't find it. (Can find appropriate volumes in ext 1)

    Higher Level Integration Marathon & Questions

    \int_0^{10} x^{\lim_{n\to \infty} f^n(x)}\,dx \text{ for }f(x) = \frac12 \left( x + \frac2x\right) \text{where }f^n(x) = \underbrace{f \cdots f}_{n\text{-times}}(x) Shouldn't be hard assuming I didn't mess up typing the question.

    Higher Level Integration Marathon & Questions

    @Paradoxica I think I finally figured what it should've been. \int_1^e x \sqrt[6]{x^{-1} \sqrt[20]{x \sqrt[42]{x^{-1} \dots}}}\,dx Well, hopefully.

    MATH2601 Higher Linear Algebra

    I'd recommend InteGrand's rearrangement. But it's still fairly easy just using what they give you. \text{Closure condition: Let }x,y\in C_g\text{, so we have} \\ \begin{align*} gx &= xg \\ gy &= yg \end{align*} \noindent\text{Then, with the aid of the associative rule,} \\ \begin{align*} g(xy)...

    Re: HSC 2018 MX2 Integration Marathon That being said is there a way of doing it using only 4U methods

    I forgot the clever way of doing these integrals...
