    Complex 'show' question II

    I'd be more inclined to do it by contrapositive \begin{aligned}\left|z+\frac{1}{z}\right|>2&\Rightarrow|w|>2\\ &\Rightarrow |w^2-3|\ge|w|^2-3>4-3\\ &\Rightarrow |w||w^2-3|>2\times1\\ &\Rightarrow|w^3-3w|>2\\ &\Rightarrow\left| z^3+\frac{1}{z^3}\right|>2\end{aligned} \text{Hence }\left|...

    Complex 'show' question

    2 things are wrong. It should be \ge not > in the question. Also you are assuming |z|=1 which is incorrect. Anyway you can use triangle ineqality. |w^2-3|+|3|\ge|w^2-3+3| Therefore |w^2-3|+3\ge|w|^2 and so |w^2-3|\ge|w|^2-3 ------ A simple example showing why you need \ge is if...

    Qs involving a/b+b/a+1=0 COMPLEX NUMBERS

    i. So you proved it true for n=1 in which case you know that \frac{a^3}{b^3}+\frac{b^3}{a^3}=2 and hence (a^3-b^3)^2=0 so a^3=b^3 Likewise for induction hypothesis, if true for n=k then \frac{a^{3k}}{b^{3k}}+\frac{b^{3k}}{a^{3k}}=2 and hence (a^{3k}-b^{3k})^2=0 so a^{3k}=b^{3k}. Then for...

    Is coplanarity in the syllabus? The standard way to do it is with scalar triple product.

    calculus question

    Just add up the areas of the rectangles and divide by 2 (1+0.5+0.5+1/3)/2=1.2 correct to 1 decimal place. Exact value is ln3 which is more like 1.1

    CASIO fx-8200 AU - new calculator coming next year.

    I don't think that will be a benefit. You should be able to swap things like that on the same calculator, just as it was on other calculators.

    CASIO fx-8200 AU - new calculator coming next year.

    There is also a new video for 1-variable statistics at You can see how much easier it is to get all the statistics at once compared with the current models where you have to get each one separately

    complex in old vs new syllabus

    Exponential form was added. Technically it wasn't in the old syllabus, but many teachers still taught it anyway as an extra because it is quite useful. Even the old Coroneos textbook had it. But now you have to do it. For example in this year's HSC exam Question 11(c)(i) \text{Write the...

    HSC Maths Exam Gets an F for Failing Our Students

    A few months before Coroneos died I rang him for what I thought was going to be a 2 minute conversation about a book. It quickly diverged to many other things and turned into a 5 hour conversation. One of the things discussed was the length of the 2 unit papers. Back in 1967 the entire paper was...
