    Binomial Theorem Question

    \begin{align*}0 = [x^2](1+x+kx^2)^9 &= [x^2]\sum_{r = 0}^9 {9 \choose r}(x+kx^2)^r \\&= [x^2](1 + 9(x+kx^2) + 36(x+kx^2)^2 + \text{higher terms})\\&= 9k +36\\\therefore k = -4\end{align*}

    cant do curve question

    $Suppose the point at which the line is tangent to the parabola is $P(x,kx^2)$ for some value of $x$. We know that gradient of the tangent at this point is equal to 8 from the equation of the line, and hence by taking the derivative of the curve, we obtain $y' = 2kx \implies 2kx = 8 \implies x =...

    general solution of trigonometric equations?? - special cases

    The solution sets are the same. 90 + 360k = 90(4k+1) -90 + 360k = 90(4k-1) 90 + 180k = 90(2k+1) Note that in the last equation, if k is even then we get 90(2(2m) +1) = 90(4m + 1) and if k is odd we get 90(2(2m-1)+1) = 90(4m-1)

    I'm not sure. Either way, you should always be prepared for the essay to ask for a specific format, because they can ask that.

    Either an independent trial or HSC, but I think it was HSC.

    How do bottom students drag down the cohort average

    That's correct, however they also exclude results that are very low compared to the rest of the class from the average. So if someone does really bad, it won't affect everyone else.

    They totally did that a few years ago, my teacher told me how her class was ready to just cease to exist

    Technique

    I don't have a table ahaha, just practice. There's no reason for you not to integrate both of those concepts - religious ideals of femininity and 'purity' are what synthesised society's general attitude towards women for a very long time.

    Technique

    No, it's an example of personification - the quote is asserting that fortune (a concept) is a woman (a person). This is further enforced by calling fortune a "she".

    How do you study for an english creative?

    As much as you feel is necessary such that your story sufficiently answers the questions :p In half yearlies I needed to change the entire motive behind my story and my character's super objective, in the trial I didn't need to change anything.

    How do you study for an english creative?

    You change the details of the story to fit the question.

    How do you study for an english creative?

    I've done something similar - you don't need to get ALL the concepts of discovery, just one or two, and be able to adapt them. If you have a story about a child running away from home and finding his "tree house" sort of place, then you can change the wording of the story from something...

    How do you study for an english creative?

    I'd strongly recommend to not do that. Derivative works are a complex legal blah blah and that's not something you want to risk in the HSC. It's really not too hard to make up a 800-1000 word story.

    How do you study for an english creative?

    I would say to write one really good story - don't even make it answer a question, just have it incorporate some themes that are derived from the discovery syllabus. Then try to adapt it to various questions and stimuli from past exams/trial papers - make sure you respect the integrity of the...
