ah yes hsc science... the pinnacle of all logical thoughts.

syllabus??? who the hell reads that?![]()
are they gonna give you a question like "explain qualitatively the difference between roots and zeros?"
yeah, i've seen a few "explain" answer as well in 3u trials.Originally posted by McLake

I have seen questions that ask you to state de Moivre's, or why a complex poly has conjugate roots (assuming real coefficents), so why not ask that?
Thank God I'm out of there.Originally posted by McLake

but those questions are not as bad as the questions u get in hsc science.Originally posted by KeypadSDM

If the maths course derides into that ... Ugh, I can only hope for the future mathematicians this state produces.

It'd be so much easier if the question asked QUANTITATIVELY. Then you could just say 0. Easy.Originally posted by McLake

Here's a couple to start with, I'll type up c) and d) if I feel game but long expansions with lots of powers are hell.zergcave said:man..polynomials seems like a topic as tricky as complex numbers...
can somone plz provide solutions for fitzpatrick 4u - ex 36c. questions 2 - 10
Find the roots of x^2 + x = 4fashionista said:k i got a weeny lil question...but wuts the difference between the roots of a polynomial and the zeros of a polynomial?
thanking u muchly
Synthetic Division would be MUCH FASTER, EASIER and TAKE LESS SPACEMcLake said:- Know how to do long divsion with polys, complex polys, unknonw coeffecient polys.
I actually wrote lots on this question... not just stating that fact but I also went on with it has to be conjugate otherwise it will result in a complex coefficient and stuffs like that... I don't know if that was extra thing and wasting time....McLake said:EXPLAIN why 3 + i is a root
ANSWER: "If a polynomial with REAL coefficients has a complex root, the its conjugate is also a root." (This was in last years HSC)
