    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive How'd you know :( Ok, Z>95 are produced within particle accelerators - By accelerating the nucleus of a smaller element into a heavier element to produce the Curium.

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Never head of curium, lol. Neptunium: -Uranium 238 bombarded with a neutron in a nuclear reactor to create Uranium 239 -Decays into Neptunium + beta particle

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive a 0? ok, could you explain the marking criteria that you used to critique my answer and perhaps add a response? I'm an esl student and only recently came to Aus (2011), so yeah i'm not sure how to explain very well, haha. niggas be telling me to improve my skills

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive B-L stated: when an acid donates a proton, the resultant molecule is known as the conj. base e.g. HCl --> H+ Cl- (Cl- is the conj. base)

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive - fission of Uranium to get Mo-99 -> decays into tc-99m - neutron bombardment of the already produced mo-98 to get mo-99 -> decays again + w/e equation you choose e.g. 98Mo+1n-->99Mo

    re: HSC Chemistry Marathon Archive Include 'a' chemical equation and 4 marks for theory? gg Let's start with some obvious: - can cause decrease in pH levels in water-ways (e.g. lakes), hence increasing the acidity -> causing detrimental effects on the local ecosystem (fish die) - crops and...

    I spend too much time on Maths Homework

    MIF is very well suited if you're not 'understanding' the basics.

    Your subject regrets

    Regret English. The struggle is real

    Engineering tutor

    Any engineering tutors out there? A buddy of mine looking to state rank (extremely motivated, but lack of guidance as school rank is quite low) Leave a comment below if you know or are tutoring engineering studies Cheerss

    Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon In the meantime, someone try solving this (just curious): x^5+x=1, find real x

    Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon cos4θ=Re ∑k=0->4 (4Ck)(cosθ)^k(isinθ)^(4−k)=8cos^4θ-8cos^2θ+1 let cosθ=x and then cos4θ=1/2 so, 8x^4-8x^2+1=1/2 16x^4-16x^2+1=0 solve cos4θ=1/2 therefore: +/- cospi/12, +/- cos5pi/12

    Re: HSC 2015 4U Marathon x^2+bx+x? or x^2+bx+cx? Solve simultaneously by subbing 2,-2,3 and setting =0 ? pre-guess :lol:

    Solutions

    Anyone have the papers/solutions to JR Term 1/2 papers from any of the years between 2001-2014? Came across some good questions that I've never seen in other school trials/HSC :O

    Trig function question help needed

    Use product rule. Let u=cosx, v=1+sinx Find turning/inflection points (may need to differentiate twice) Slot a few key values e.g. 0, pi, 2pi if you are unsure

    Polynomials

    Guessing is some high level stuff. Beyond the MX1 course... :D

    Is my plan extremely difficult, or is it impossible?

    Who cares about impossible. Make it possible.
