Prove the following statement using mathematical induction
7+77+777+...+77...77=\frac{7}{81}(10^{n+1}-9n-10)\quad\quad\text{where}\quad n\in\mathbb{Z},n\geq2
The last term on the L.H.S has n-digits

$Let$\quadI=\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x}{\varphi - \cos^2{x}} dx
By the reflection property we have
2I=\pi\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{\varphi - \cos^2{x}} dx
A quick sketch (\varphi-\cos^{2}x=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}-\cos2x)) lets us deduce that...
It's not about how many hours you do but the quality of them. Sounds cliche but it's really not going to help you doing questions for eight hours straight (It's said that the average can only concentrate effectively for about 30 minutes ). For me, I just did the homework exercise set everyday...
Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon
Interesting result, but do you know a method that involves using the binomial theorem? the above proof of palindromic polynomials seems too long to write in an exam given the question was two marks
Do all the hsc past papers; if you find any topic particularly challenging/difficult try to work more on those separately by doing textbook questions. Furthermore, the topics that tend to be considered hard in extension 1 can also found in extension 2 (eg. projectile motion, counting, circle...
