    year 12 approaches..

    It is piss easy to get a 90 ATAR. Considering you have already learnt the 3 unit course for maths you could probably get it with just your maths marks. "Rule number one is, don't sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it's all small stuff."

    Probability :(

    P(atleast 1 pink flower) = 1 - P(no pink flowers) = 1 - (0.75)^n to exceed .99 1 - (0.75)^n > 0.99 therefore 0.01 > (0.75)^n therefore ln(0.01) > n x ln(0.75) therefore n > ln(0.01)/ln(0.75) therefore n > 16.00784... therefore n = 17

    odd question - combinations

    Not exactly sure why this is right but the reasoning is that you are implying an order so you divide by 4 factorial. Don't really understand the concept too well my self. 8C2 x 6C2 x 4C2 x 2C2 *1/4! =105 EDIT: i think this is why you divide by 4! consider abcdef in order to arrange these in...

    alternativley for 23 i) e precedes i half of the time therefore the answer is 7!/2 =2520

    okay thanks, I didnt want to start up another thread so hopefully someone stumbles across this post. I had trouble with these questions from the CSSA 2005 trial

    Projectile motion

    If the questions doesnt give us the equation, do we still have to derive the range and max height formula or simply quote it?

    biology vs physics vs chemistry

    The principle of relativity states that in an inertial frame of reference (one travelling at a constant velocity) one cannot determine if they are moving or not unless with reference to another frame of reference. That is if I were travelling in a car with all the windows blacked out on a...

    New physics in focus book?

    actually comparing the old jacaranda which a friend bought with the newer version id say there are many more mistakes in the newer version

    biology vs physics vs chemistry

    I find all HSC sciences are similar to what you' re describing. There is still very little independant thought required as many questions that are asked are directly from syllabus dot points and in the end it is a matter of memorizing responses then truly understanding concept. Mind you, you do...

    How exactly does the HSC work?

    That's the thing, as a student you don't really get informed about how things work by your school, you usually have to find out for yourself. Also some teachers dont know how it works either :P

    Integration by Substitution ??

    just checked the 2008 HSC, the question doesnt require you to use substitution. Although using substitution helps you see it better. You need to use the reverse chain rule: Intergral of f'(x).f(x)^n = f(x)^n+1/n+1 +c
