    Probability Question

    May I add my ideas to the table lol? There is obviously going to be more than one cube in the set. I like the idea of establishing one colour first, e.g. red. So on a cube, the front facing side is red, this means for the opposite face there are 5 colours than can go there. As for the...

    Complex Numbers

    Here is an example of one of those circle questions as well as working =] Draw a sketch of the region |z-√2-√2i|≤1 and hence find: a) The maximum and minimum values of z b) The maximum and minimum values of argz The ≤1 bit means the circle will be solid, and it will be shaded on the...

    who else is screwed for ext 2 exam

    There have been years were the paper was so hard, that a pass equated to an E4... So who knows aye. I am imagine an "average" difficulty test would have an E4 cut off of around 70% and an E3 cutoff of about 58%. This is absolute speculation lol, but I know that around 2 years ago, that was...

    who else is screwed for ext 2 exam

    Our class hasn't finished the course either :( We are finishing mechanics tomorrow, but harder 3 unit isn't even getting a look at. I got 70% in my trial and that had harder three unit in it, but no mechanics... God, I hope I get somewhere around there for the actual test :S I haven't done...

    chord of contact of tangents

    Lol. January :P Yeh, there has to be something wrong with the question. The points aren't meant to be on the parabola, but one of them has to be wrong. Perhaps a negative sign is missing from the 2 or something. Thanks for pointing the January thing out hahaha.

    chord of contact of tangents

    I did this question a different way... As you can see from the graph, a=4, so one point is drawn from off the directrix. First thing I did was find the value of p and q, by substituting the points into the tangent formula. y=px - ap^2 -4= 0p -4p^2 p = 1 Therefore the points of P(2ap...

    superannuation help please :S

    This question is actually quite easy =] It shouldn't be too hard to understand lol. When I see these kinds of questions, I like to create a formula for how much money will be the account after n years. To do this, you need to assess the information given. Let A1 be the amount of money in the...

    Please help with question 10 from 2008 HSC

    Well you are right in making x the subject of the equation. This is because you cannot integrate a logarithm, but you can integrate a function that involves e. So you should get x = e^y + 2 as your new equation. When you integrate this equation, you are integrating with respect to y, hence...

    Question about Auxillary Method - Trig

    Haha, am I right to take that as a compliment? :P Thanks lol.

    Question about Auxillary Method - Trig

    I find it better to derive it as you go. For example: Express sinθ +√3cosθ in the form of Rsin(θ-α) First, Rsin(θ-α) = Rsinθcosα - Rcosθsinα Equating gives; sinθ = Rsinθcosα ⇒ 1 = Rcosα [divide both sides by sinθ] Similarly, √3cosθ = Rcosθsinα ⇒ √3 = Rsinα So we have: Rsinα = √3...

    Help with an easy question please

    0.23333... = 1/5 + 3/100 + 3/1000 etc Ignoring the 1/5, use the limiting sum formula for the rest of the sum, where a=3/100 and r=1/10 (3/100)/(1-1/10) = 1/30 Substituting this back into the initial sum, you get 1/5 + 1/30 = 7/30 = 0.233333... =]

    Conflicting Perspectives

    I only used one. That was because my prepared script had two, but was 2000 words. I managed to write 11 pages for this module even with one related text. The good thing about The Justice Game was (<<<haha, past tense now :P) that it was really easy to get a lot out, even only referring to...

    What do you think you will score out of 60?

    I got 53 for my trials (I was so surprised!). With the amount of study I did for this exam, I expect 18, 19 and 20. I really hope (and I think it's possible) that I got over 55. I reeeeeeeeally actually think I have a decent chance at getting a band 6! :D English was never my subject, but a...

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    I agree with what was said a little earlier. Considering I was so stressed about the exam, I thought it went really well. Mod A (Fr/Br): I hated the "disruption" part, but I still answered the question. I talked about nature in relation to disruption, and power and connections in relation to...

    Section 1 - Stimulus

    Looking at people responses to part a, I noticed people going on completely different tacks to what I did :S It makes me nervous lol. I thought the best thing to talk about would be the fact that hands were different colours and represented people of different ages. The house on top of them was...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    I chose two, as well as one related text. I see that some people did four of his poems :S Not sure aye. All I know is that my analysis of the poems were really detailed haha. How many did you do?

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I found this on the BOS website: "Responses that exceed stated parameters In some examinations, particularly projects and performances, there are limits placed on students’ work. This limit may be a limit on the size, time or word length of the work. Where a student’s response exceeds the...

    Section 3 - Extended Response

    I found this on the BOS website a few nights ago. Maybe it will help with that question... What if I did 2 related texts!? "Responses that exceed stated parameters In some examinations, particularly projects and performances, there are limits placed on students’ work. This limit may be a...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    The things I talked about were the establishment of context in the notion from belonging to smaller and smaller areas/things, the fact that all the quotes were in the first person which indicated personal attachment, the metaphorical viewpoint the writer put forth in his conclusion and how...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    Personally, I also thought it was pretty easy. Definitely easier than both the mid yearly and the trial. I wrote full booklets for everything as well as a few pages into a second booklet on section three. For me, the place where I normally come undone is my story because I don't relate the...
