    The 2004 HSC - Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    ah k sorry didn't read that properly. Also this year's and last year's were about the same in difficulty up to around q6. Only difference being 7&8 were much easier. Esp 7 which is almost directly out of arnold chapter 8. (this said I didn't complete that chapter-thus not boasting in any way)

    The 2004 HSC - Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    Well, the BOS looks at all the four unit students, and scale their 4U mark to an extent that reflects on how well they fared in the 3u exam in comparison with the 3u students. So say, all the 4u students do better than the 3u students , then the 4u marks will skyrocket. Unfortunately this is not...

    The 2004 HSC - Mathematics Extension 2 Paper

    In reply to the title of the thread, it wasn't a hard exam, though some of those who say it was "SO EASY" might think it wise to withold their comments until after they get their marks back (then post it here so we can laugh at your great hindsight). Anyway, too much conics. I hate conics...

    Q8 part a ii 1993

    Please put forward any helpful suggestions: Let the points A1, A2,... An represent the nth roots of unity, w1, w2,...wn and suppose P represents any complex no. z such that modz=1. Show that PAi^2 = (z-wi)[conjugate(z)-conjugate(wi)] We know that w1, w2,...wn = 0

    Stupid question

    hey I've looked at q5 1996, but I don't see why you would need to do anything that you've mentioned. In these papers I have here you're trying to prove that c is even, in which case you'd use sum/products of roots then subsitution. for your q. For any real no, if your put it to the power of...

    well, many selective schools rip their questions off a whole lot of other trials, so really, there's no point in putting them up.

    Parlons-nous le francais ici!

    C'est dommage, j'ai pleuré aujourd'hui * cause de l'examen de chimie. Peut-être je peux prendre des photos de moi-même... Alors pendant la finale demi-heure (franglais alert) j'étais en nage et j'avais la tête qui tourne. Hmm, l'autre personne qui pensé c'etait assez facile (desolé, je n'ai pas...

    Chepas for Mod

    In any exam, you may leave after the first hour, but not in the last 15 minutes. AOS exam is 2hrs-that gives you 45 minutes to post here if you are really close to a computer. Mais si tu le fais, soit tu est folle soit tes notes d'anglais ne sont pas important a` toi. Alors Chép, "brunette...

    King Lear practise essays

    I must disagree and point out to you that had one who had not studied thoroughly the specific issues of chaos and order (or managed to create some strong links between what had been prepared via some sudden divine inspiration) would have been a poor (naked) wretch in the exam room. Thus, I...
