So I was bored and I decided to do the HSC 3U Maths for 2019. Please tell me if any of the answers are wrong. I am not a HSC student lol. In my opinion the exam was harder than last year so hopefully it scales better. Other than that have a look a through it

lol I made the exact same silly mistake, the integral isn’t tan inverse, it’s a natural log, as u=cos^2x, otherwise everything looks correct to me

You can't justify your proof in 14bii) with just that

You made the assumption that


But that's only true if the function is strictly increasing (which is not true ripp)

So you actually would also have to include the fact that

Which then you know the function is increasing for between the 3 values

but what if you proved that for a continuous function,

and
Therefore b , which is the only root, such that f(b)=0 has to lie between a and c for the curve to be both smooth and continuous

therefore

This is why you shouldn't look at math at 1am lel..
Yeah you're right cause I was thinking of a counter example where you could have you roots



But your idea would negate that.
