2026 HSC CHAT (4 Viewers)

[jane1820]

These were the types of questions we did in class bc ‘they’re too easy’

Honestly my teacher thinks enrichment cambridge is fair and if we cant do them we should drop to std (only for adv obviously enrichment ext is diff)

My class never did these sort of ones. Or maybe we did and I just forgot but their not too bad

Its just logic: ‘applying previous knowledge to new concepts’ (quoting my teacher)

Ok. I’ll prob practice smth like this towards prelim or next year

definitely don't have a fat prelim and HSC folder
definitely don't have 2 more

HSC '25er infiltrating your GOATED chat as 2025 chat is lacking, and is lowkey making y12 so anticlimactic .

What do u have on there

 

[cristal]

What do u have on there

I have a lot of math prelims, stuff off THSC and ace ( so wouldn't count that) and a lot of things I've dug up from BoS.
For just math I don't have as much advanced stuff but I have some revision things I believe idk

 

[cristal]

Are there are topic stuff you want I can check
Can also try generating a paper from past HSC questions

@Shavi Masee
got it with the help of AI cus i forget about turning point silly me

AND CHECKING WITH DESMOS DRUMROLL PLEASE


@cheesynooby
can u teach me how to use the element of symbol for domain and range thanks

Thanks. Maybe some stuff on linear, non linear and polynomials cause I have a topic test on that first week back and maybe some stuff for term 2 like calculus. Also we should all put some more stuff on the drive cause it is kinda empty

domain:
1. solve the quadratic and identify its concavity to find the x values where it is negative e.g. if it has x intercepts at x = -2 and 2, and is concave up the quadratic is negative between x = -2 and 2. since u cant square root a negative and cant divide by 0, that gives u the domain (x < -2, x > 2)

range:
2. find the range of the quadratic by finding the y coord of the vertex. e.g. vertex at (1, 3) and concave down = range: y ≤ 3
3. square root that (keeping in mind u can't square root a negative)-> 0 ≤ y ≤ sqrt3
4. find the reciprocal of that (a graph of y = 1/x could be useful - imagine the range of 1/x if you could only plug in values between 0 and sqrt3 (from step 3) -> y ≥ 1/sqrt3

silly she needed help with the ii)

also can u show me a faster way of doing it, refer to previous post
if this in my exam its gonna use a buncha time

Wtf is this

 

[NotBamboo]

Wtf is this

my working?
i even had to clean it up and add lil comments for u guys
ur welcome

i can explain any part of it if u dont understand

I don't understand anything
I'll work through it first myself just to understand
But why differentiation btw?

 

[Shavi Masee]

Can't thank you guys rn I'm boiling in the heattt. Will get to you soon
Thank you bamboo (ive got ur rock!!!)and cheesynooby, and everyone elsee

wut

yeah why differentiation

At one point the gradient is 0
When u differentiate it, the y value of it will be 0 because original function's gradient is 0, making the x easy to find.
This is called a critical point
Usually, u would use the second derivative to find the nature of the turning point (being a max)
But here since I already know a vague shape of the graph, I know that this will be the local maximum, so I only need to use first derivative
now that i have the x value by subbing in y=0, i can plug it into the original function to get the y value of the point as well yayyyyy!!!!
THE END.

enjoyyyyyy
we can discuss this later
that beach is relatively empty ngl
