    seriously

    It will not 'click' automatically... you will have to think about it to make it click. I always tried to reduce everything in the course to a few rules of thumb/principles that I am comfortable with. To do well in chem (and many other subjects) you have to condition your brain to think in...

    Difficult plane geometry question

    You don't need any additional assumptions. ACD = CBE + BEC (exterior angle = sum of interior angles) BEC = EBA + BAC (same reason) now note that CBE = EBA, subtract the second equation from the first. ACD - BEC = BEC - BAC ACD + BAC = 2BEC moral of the story: Don't dismiss...

    How To Study Ext 1 Maths????

    Don't recycle questions, if you are looking for questions, try to generalise the results of some questions - for example if a question ask you about some arrangement involving 8 Bears and 10 Grasshoppers, try to solve it for B bears and G grasshoppers. I strongly recommend visiting this forum...

    Subject Choices...

    in the top range of marks, the value of marks increases. For example.. In General the difference between a 94 and a 93 is MORE than the difference between a 84 and 83

    If you don't get 75+ in your extension 1 school papers, extension 2 would be quite ... say... challenging.

    Trig question

    oh anyway. standard form.. you mean.. tan(3x) = {3sin(x) - 4[sin(x)]^3 } / {4[cos(x)]^3 - 3cos(x) } divide numerator and denominator by cos(x)^3.. to save writing, C= cos(x), S = sin(x) T = tan(x) = [ 3T/C^2 - 4T^3 ] / [4 - 3/C^2] now remember 1/C^2 = sec(x) ^ 2 = tan(x)^2 + 1 =...

    A few UNI algebra questions

    Hmm..... you made a mistake.. cos(4t) = 8[cos(t)]^4 - 8[cos(t)]^2 + 1

    Trig question

    me still trying to figure out where the cosine rule fits in. mean while acosA = bcosB a/sinA = b/sinB dividing first by second, sinAcosA = sinBcosB 2sinAcosA = 2sinBcosB sin2A = sin2B sin2A - sin2B = 0 notice that 2A = (A+B) + (A-B) and 2B = (A+B) - (A-B) so: 2sin(A-B)cos(A+B) = 0...

    You should be aiming to get a natural feel for the question. Things to look for are similarities and symmetries.

    Mother of all Questions

    Hmm.<!-- let the square be ABCD and the grasshopper be at A initially. let G1={A,C} and G2={B,D}. The grasshopper's position must alternate between G1 and G2, so.. it could only be at A (in G1) after a even number of jumps.. and 9 is not even. so it must be at B or D after 9 moves. after 1...
