"Show that..." and "Prove that..." type questions

[Alan Pho]

Hi guys

I tried googling around but i couldn't find any answers..

Is it totally sufficient to write 'Q.E.D.' at the end of showing/proving questions in spesh? (As well as for methods?)

Thanks in advance

Is there a reason you feel that you need to write QED? I'm not sure what it brings to the answer, and in some cases you might be able to prove it further making you wrong.

I doubt you would lose marks for it, unless it was wrongly used.
QED is not needed by VCAA.

Actually its optional. Most people just end with LHS=RHS. *move on to next question*
Personally tho, I just right "as required" in methods and spesh

Or, you could do:

You don't really need anything there, I normally would just have a , "therefore" at the start of the last line to show that I've come to a conclusion really. Most of what you're 'proving' in VCE maths isn't that special really, most of it really is a "show that" and not an actual proof, although there are a small amount of proofs in spesh with vectors and such, but that's about it really.
