Thank you!

Jan,
You projected into our lives and dramatically increased the gradient of our learning. Thank you so much for being the best brumby artiste, hovercrafter and person who met a brain surgeon (and maths teacher) we could've asked for. You have been such an amazing teacher who has inspired all of us. Thank you for the immense dedication and commitment to our class, it hasn't gone unnoticed.

We wish we all the best in the future, good luck being the CEO of NASA!!

All the best

2015 Math HSC 16b



MIF 2U HSC TY6 Q10

we dont integrate sec(x).

I cant find the question, please screenshot it. :-)


Dear Mr Hansen,
The question requires you to integrate sec(x), we only have a formula to integrate sec^2(x).
how would I do this question, could you send me your working?

Thanks, Anna

Grove HSC 3U chapter 4.2 Question 2 - Differentiating an exponential type fn.





Help!  .

Question 2. =============

$y=(e^{2x}+1)^7$
$y'=7.(e^{2x}+1)^6\times 2e^{2x}$ by chain rule.
$y'=14(e^{2x}+1)^6e^{2x}$
$y'=14 e^{2x} (e^{2x}+1)^6$

Now use product rule too for $y''$

$u=14e^{2x}$, $v=(e^{2x}+1)^6$
$u'=28e^{2x}$, $v'=6(e^{2x}+1)^5 2e^{2x}=12 e^{2x}(e^{2x}+1)^5$

$y'=14e^{2x}12 e^{2x}(e^{2x}+1)^5 + 28e^{2x}(e^{2x}+1)^6$

Factorising

$y'=28e^{2x}(e^{2x}+1)^5(7e^{2x}+1)$

Graph of $\Large y=\tan 2x - 2$

The best way to draw trigonometric graphs like these, is to first draw the basic trig graph, here it is $y=\tan x$. 
Then build it up from there, here we multiply by 2 (stretch), then subtract 2 (lower by 2)

Graph of $\Large y=\sin(2x+{\pi\over 3})$

The best way to draw trigonometric graphs like these, is to first draw the basic trig graph, here it is $y=\sin x$. 
Then build it up from there, here we multiply by 2 (stretch), then shift to left by ${\pi \over 6}$ 

Sketch $\Large y=3\sin x +1$

The best way to draw trigonometric graphs like these, is to first draw the basic trig graph, here it is $y=\sin x$. 
Then build it up from there, here we multiply by 3 (stretch), then add 1 (lift by 1)

Grove HSC 2U Ex 4.2 Q2o

Question= 
Answer =
How did they get that?

Thanks, Anna

SOLUTION

$u=e^{2x+1}$, $u'=2e^{2x+1}$
$v=2x+5$, $v'=2$

$y'= \displaystyle { vu'-uv' \over v^2}$
$y'= \displaystyle { (2x+5)2e^{2x+1}-e^{2x+1}\times 2 \over (2x+5)^2}$
$y'= \displaystyle {  2e^{2x+1}(2x+5-1)\over (2x+5)^2}$
$y'= \displaystyle {  2e^{2x+1}(2x+4)\over (2x+5)^2}$
$y'= \displaystyle {  2\times 2e^{2x+1}(x+2)\over (2x+5)^2}$
$y'= \displaystyle {  4e^{2x+1}(x+2)\over (2x+5)^2}$

Grove HSC 3U Ex 5.9 Q12


SOLUTION




Sent from my iPhoneQ12 pls!

Grove HSC 3U Ex 5.9 Question 4





Hello sir, how do you do question 4?

SOLUTION
Find $y'$, at $x=\pi/6$ and sub into $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y'=\cos(\pi-x)\times -1$
$y'=-\cos(\pi-x)$
So, tangent gradient is 
$m=y'(\pi/6)=-\cos (\pi-\pi/6)=-\cos(5\pi/6)=\cos(\pi/6)=\sqrt{3}/2$

Eqn of tangent

$y-0.5=\sqrt{3}/2(x-\pi/6)$
$2y-1=\sqrt{3}(x-\pi/6)$
$2y-1=\sqrt{3}x-\sqrt{3}\pi/6$
$12y-6=6\sqrt{3}x-\sqrt{3}\pi$
$6\sqrt{3}x-12y+6-\sqrt{3}\pi=0$

Thanks for the question.

Grove HSC 3U EX 8.5 Q8


 

Formula is $S_n={n\over 2} (2a+(n-1)d)$

$a=5$
$d=4$
$S_n=152$

$ S_n= {n\over 2} (2a+(n-1)d)$
$ S_n= {n\over 2} (2(5)+4(n-1))$
$ S_n= {n\over 2}(10+4n-4)$
$S_n=2n^2+3n$
$\therefore 2n^2+3n=152$

$2n^2+3n-152=0$

$n={-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(2)(-152)} \over 2(2)}$
$n={-3\pm \sqrt{9+1216} \over 4}$
$n={-3\pm \sqrt{1225} \over 4}$
$n={-3\pm 35 \over 4}$
$n={-3+ 35 \over 4}, {-3- 35 \over 4}$
$n=8, -19/2$

Hence since $n$ is whole number 
$n=8$.

Grove HSC 3U EX 8.4 Q11

Hi sir when you are doing arithmetic series how do you do it when you want to know if a number fits into a series? Like Q11 from 8.4?

Answer: I would find an expression for the nth Term $T_n$.

Is $0$ a term of the series $48 + 45 + 42 + ...$?

Method 1: write them all out (only works for small numbers!)
48+45+42+39+36+33+30+27+24+21+18+15+12+9+6+3+0+...
So yes $0$ is a term.

Method 2: all the numbers are multiples of 3, and they go down by 3, so 0 must eventually be reached!! So again Yes.

Method 3: It's an AP with $a=48$, $d=-3$, 
$T_n=a+(n-1)d$
$T_n=48-3(n-1)$
$T_n=51-3n$

Solve $51-3n=0$
$51=3n$
$n=51/3=17$
$T_{17}=0$

So Yes. The $17$ th term equals $0$.
