That would be so hard to do.

Just a shit public school.
Interesting problem. Affinity did well. Following might be an improvement.
triangle inequality could also be : |a-b|<=c where a,b,c are sides of triangle.
Consider the triangle whose vertices in the Argand Plane are
1,cis(arg z), and z.
Then using the inequality,
||z-cis(arg z)|-|z-1||<=|cis(arg z)-1|
LHS=||z|-1|-|z-1|| and RHS is < |arg z|
since the arc length is > the chord.

On the plus side, the discussion of geometric applications of complex numbers is being introduced
This is a very powerful tool to have at your disposal.The solution I'd intended was:
Consider O (0), A(1), B(|z|), Z(z) (Bracketed are the complex nos)
LHS = |||z|-1|-|z-1||
= ||OB-OA|-AZ|
= |AB - AZ|
< BZ
<= arc BZ
= |z||Arg(z)|
= RHS
Without the |z| the RHS doesn't instantly suggest geometry (as it stands the formula l = r*@ is being strongly hinted)
(Stuffing up the problem, though, was a bit worse, especially since it was still a valid result!)

Where were the stats released?

yeah, i thought they were kept secret...(well i heard in the physics forum).
redslert
yes, my actual brain
yeah they do keep it a secret!
must have been some guy who heard it from some other guy, who heard it from some other guy, who just thought it was right

lol- "i heard it from a friend of a friend of mine"
4 unit maths is easy only if you view it that way, sure there are some hard questions but if you tackle it as if it is an easier subject than people usually put it to be than youll find it much easier, at the start of the year i wasnt really confident and wasnt doing well, i just decided to make my self think this wasnt hard and that i just had to work a little bit and damn im going through q7 and and almost all of 8 with just a few problems, so your attitude towards the subject in my experience makes a big difference.
