Ok, let me post up a few that had me puzzled:

3) ABC is a triangle and N is a point on AC
<ABn=<CBN=<BCN
BC=2a, CA=b, AB=c
BN=CN=d

i) Given that triangle ABN ||| triangle ACB, show that c^2 = b^2 - 2ac

ii) hence show that (a+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2



6ai) If W= inverse tan A + inverse tan B, show that tan W = A + B / 1 - AB

ii) hence solve the equation inverse tan 3x + inverse tan 2x = pi/4


And if anyone has the paper, question 7 (induction). Its a lot to type out.

as triangle ABN and ACB are similar
(b-d)/c=c/b
c<sup>2</sup>=b<sup>2</sup>-bd
but b/c=2a/d => bd=2ac
therefore c<sup>2</sup>=b<sup>2</sup>-2ac

c<sup>2</sup>+2ac=b<sup>2</sup>
completing the square: (c+a)<sup>2</sup>-a<sup>2</sup>=b<sup>2</sup>
(a+c)<sup>2</sup>=a<sup>2</sup>+b<sup>2</sup>

let tan<sup>-1</sup>A = x => tanx = A
let tan<sup>-1</sup>B = y => tany = B
tanW = tan(x+y)
=(tanx+tany)/(1-tanxtany)
=(A+B)/(1-AB)

tan(pi/4) = (2x+3x)/(1-2x.3x)
1=5x/(1-6x<sup>2</sup>)
1-6x<sup>2</sup>=5x
6x<sup>2</sup>+5x-1=0
(6x-1)(x+1)=0
x=-1 or 1/6

[edit] 4got minus sign

Here's the answer to question 7

EDIT: Here is the answer to the 3U paper (oops!)

but if x = -1 then: tan<sup>-1</sup>3x < 0 and tan<sup>-1</sup>2x < 0.
so x != -1

so x = 1/6
