Prove that for any two complex numbers u and v within the square, their product uv also lies within the square.

ALL the Integration Techniques You Need For Specialist Maths

Integration is a large and important part of the VCE Specialist Maths course. The 6 techniques listed in the Study Design are: - anti-differentiation of 1/x to obtain log_e |x| - anti-differentiation using derivatives of inverse circular functions - use of the substitution u=g(x) - use of the trigonometric identities in anti-differentiation techniques - anti-differentiation using partial fracti...

KILLER Complex Numbers Question (HSC 2023)
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.9 месяцев назад
This question from the recent HSC Maths Extension 2 Exam tests is on Complex Relations in the Argand plane. This is also covered in VCE Specialist Mathematics (although it's unlikely you would have something this difficult on your exam next week - I hope!). Good practice anyway if you're keen for a challenge. IMHO there is also an ambiguity in the question that I address at the end of the video.

    Crazy how much impact the school you go to has on the study score. Why can't VCAA write sacs for each subject and make all schools do the same SACs?

    • @MathsWithMrLim
      @MathsWithMrLim 16 дней назад

      It's not so much to do with whether the school is suburban or rural, it's more the performance of the students from your school on the exam. For example, if you were in the bottom 50% of your school in the SAC and your school is the bottom 50% of the State in the exam, your SAC would be moderated to bottom quartile. It's the only fair way to do it.

    Het, thanks for the video but the quiz isn't really up to date. My school is new so it is not available as one of the options and I tried another nearby school but it wasn't available either maybe because it changed its name about 10 years ago? Also, studio arts doesn't exist anymore it's now called Art - Making and Exhibiting and I noticed there was quite a few subjects missing like all the languages. Still a useful tool though for some subjects, so thanks for that. Also thanks for your explanations.

      Absolute value of any function maps all negative y values to the same positive values. Basically every negative point is flipped about the x-axis. f(b) = -1, but since we’re looking at the absolute value function, it’s |f(b)| = |-1| = 1.

      Yes difference of squares is fine, so long as you write the mod sign as you did. And the 1/2 won't make a difference, because as you say the expression is equal to zero

    Quite often examination boards put a significantly harder question at the end of the paper. A well prepared student will be able to get a very good grade without answering it. The purpose is to sort the good from the exceptionally able. The press on another day might easily be critical of what they judge to be a question that is too easy, serving an analogous function for less able or prepared students.

      Good question Electro Vertex. Unit 3/4 exams usually focus on Unit 3/4 content. Some Unit 1/2 content is also a big part of 3/4, such as complex numbers, vectors, proof. Other concepts such as logic gates, graph theory, combinatorics don't come up again in 3/4 so these are very unlikely to appear on exams.
