    How to do well in English?

    Hi, I am doing the HSC next year and i really need a band 6 in english to achieve my goal. So here is my question, how do you get a band 6 in english? Is it witchcraft, do you have to know every Shakespearian play? Do you constantly have to read books like moby dick and stuff? How is it done?

    What is the HSC Merit List?

    Is there a list that tells you which codes correspond to which subjects?

    Cambridge 4u Question Help

    Instead of thinking of it like that, divide it into real and imaginary, as such \frac{1}{z} = \frac{x-iy}{x^2+y^2} = \frac{x}{x^2+y^2} - \frac{y}{x^2+y^2} i Then its clear by the definition of a conjugate what the result is. (Sorry jetblack2007 for the intrusion)

    Convention of naming points

    This is generally what you do, but of course if the shape has points D, C, B and A it is conventional to start with the first one alphabetically ie A, then just go clockwise around the shape.

    iiiiiiiiiiiii

    The | | is the modulus, and we know |z| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2} So |z - (2+2i)| = |x-2 + i(y-2)| =\sqrt{(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2} Also |z-(6+6i)| = |x - 6 + i(y - 6)| = \sqrt{(x-6)^2 + (y-6)^2} \therefore 3\sqrt{(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2} = \sqrt{(x-6)^2 + (y-6)^2} ie (3x - 6)^2 + (3y - 6)^2 = (x-6)^2 + (y-6)^2...

    Mathematics Symbol?

    Ah, okay ;) But if you are having trouble with the question, with the criterion you have given i can tell you that if the coefficient of the polynomial is an and s|an for n=0,1,2,... then s | P(x).

    Mathematics Symbol?

    the symbol | means "divides", so 5 | 10 means 5 divides 10 (making 2) or x | y means x divides y. It also means that y is a multiple of x ie y = kx. Also x is a divisor of y. All these statements are equivalent and when working on these problems its useful to consider which one to work with...

    Polygon Rule

    My suggestion is that you get yourself a copy of Cambridge mathematics 4 unit and do the vectors part in the complex numbers chapter. In order to succeed in 4 unit math you must not only learn how to apply a method (like simply addition of vectors) but you have to understand the method and...

    Could you say which rule regarding polygons you are talking about?

    Complex help!!

    fixed ;) or more simply from = \frac{1+cos\theta-isin\theta}{1+cos\theta} = \frac{1+cos\theta}{1+cos\theta} - \frac{isin\theta}{1+cos\theta} = 1 - \frac{isin\theta}{1+cos\theta} $Let$\,\, t=tan\frac{\theta}{2}, \,\, theta \neq \pi \,\, $Then$\,\, z = 1 - \frac{i\cdot \frac{2t}{1+t^2}}{1+...

    Inequations

    I have not touched over complex number vectors in quite some time, but its seam to me that ||z| - |w|| = |z|-|w|, so we must only show |z| - |w| \leq |z+w| ie |z| \leq |z+w| + |w| Construct the vectors z and w. Complete the parallelogram to get z+w. From the triangle inequality, |z+w| +...

    Complex

    z^5 = -1 z^5 = r^5\left(\cos5\theta + i\sin\theta5\right) -1 = \cos\pi + i\sin\pi \therefore r^5\left(\cos5\theta + i\sin\theta5\right) = 1\left(\cos\pi + i\sin\pi\right) equating terms r^5 = 1 \implies r = 1 cis 5\theta = cis \pi Generalising, cis 5\theta = cis\left(2\pi k + \pi)...
