Re: 2009 3U Maths Marathon
solve: sin3x + sin2x = sinx
0 << x << 360
solve: sin3x + sin2x = sinx
0 << x << 360

lol, x = 0, 60, 180, 300, 360.

Re: 2009 3U Maths Marathon
I deleted my post. Can't be bothered to think about the question..
Wait was I wrong in the first place? o.o

1) An arithmetic series is 6.5, 9, 11.5, 14, 16.5 + .........
Find the sum of the first 500 terms.

Might've have been quicker to do:
Question (relatively straightforward):
Recall that an object exhibits simple harmonic motion if:
Show that if a displacement x is a function consisting of a sum of sines and cosines of equal periods then it is simple harmonic, i.e. prove the following expression describes simple harmonic motion:
 + \sum_{j=1}^r \cos(nt+\alpha_j) )

Re: 2009 3U Maths Marathon
is it 3.5?
is it 3.5?
In answer to Trebla's question:
[maths]x=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\sin(nt+\alpha _i)+\sum_{j=1}^{r}\cos(nt+\alpha_j)[/maths]
[maths]\frac{dx}{dt}=n\sum_{i=1}^{k}\cos(nt+\alpha _i)-n\sum_{j=1}^{r}\sin(nt+\alpha_j)[/maths]
[maths]\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-n^2(\sum_{i=1}^{k}\sin(nt+\alpha _i)+\sum_{j=1}^{r}\cos(nt+\alpha_j))[/maths]
[maths]=-n^2x[/maths]
[maths]x=\sum_{i=1}^{k}\sin(nt+\alpha _i)+\sum_{j=1}^{r}\cos(nt+\alpha_j)[/maths]
[maths]\frac{dx}{dt}=n\sum_{i=1}^{k}\cos(nt+\alpha _i)-n\sum_{j=1}^{r}\sin(nt+\alpha_j)[/maths]
[maths]\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-n^2(\sum_{i=1}^{k}\sin(nt+\alpha _i)+\sum_{j=1}^{r}\cos(nt+\alpha_j))[/maths]
[maths]=-n^2x[/maths]

Nice and simple:
cos(@ + a) = cos@cosa - sin@sina
Derive the result for sin(@-a) using the above result.
cos(@ + a) = cos@cosa - sin@sina
Derive the result for sin(@-a) using the above result.

Replace sin(@-a) with cos (90-(@-a)) and solve.

I think since it said use the result above, they want the addition. What I mean is:
90 - (@ - a) = 90 + (a-@)
