What is a good maths text book with the HARDEST questions, for 2/3/4 unit?

i dont need explanations or walkthroughs, i just want the hardest possible questions so when I walk into the HSC, all the questions would be shit easy.

You should probably just do question 8's from past papers if that's what you want, and listen to dr buchanan and attempt to prove the riemann hypothesis :p

scan through this board, most questions here are here because someone found it hard.

"... and attempt to prove the riemann hypothesis "

i already have, back when i was in yr 9. It is very difficult, but I managed.

honestly, i dont think i need study for 4unit, I got 97% in the 2001 HSC when i was yr 9. (doing the 4U paper for fun after it was released)

That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's wait for dr buchanan.

Ok here's a question for you:

Prove:

a/sqrt(a^2+8bc) + b/sqrt(b^2+8ac) + c/sqrt(c^2+8ab) >= 1

Hope it's not too easy for you. :rolleyes:

I think that if i see this question in the 2003 4U HSC, then i'll probably have to laugh.

firstly morons, if someone says theyve proved the reimann zeta whateverthefuck, chances are, they are lying. especially if they were in year 9.

am i the idiot for lying? or are you the idiots for taking me seriously?

the answer is you are all idiots. :(

you had me going, i was panicing, i even started to sweat



a/sqrt(a^2+8bc) + b/sqrt(b^2+8ac) + c/sqrt(c^2+8ab)
>= 1

for all positive real numbers a, b and c.
We sue the convexity 1/sqrt(x): if sum (x)=1,
then sum (x/sqrt(y))>=1/sqrt(sum(x*y)).
Since this inequality is
homogeneous, we may assume a+b+c=1, so
left part is
>=1/sqrt(a*(a^2+8bc)+b*(b^2+8ac)+c*(c^2+8ca))=1/sqrt(a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc)

It is enough to show that
1>=a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc. But 1=(a+b+c)^3=a^3+b^3+c^3+
6abc+3b(a^2+c^2)+3a(c^2+b^2)+3c(b^2+a^2)>=
a^3+b^3+c^3+6abc+3b*2ac+3a*2cb+3c*2ba=a^3+b^3+c^3+24abc.



thankyou
