    integration of a logarithmic function?

    A primitive of lnx is x(lnx-1) The derivative of a log function is 1/x, if you're using base 'e', and if not, use the change of base laws to put it in base 'e'

    Conics Question

    Isn't it the same as the ellipse one? Sub in y=mx+c into x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2=1 and let delta=0 Although the way you've done it is probably just about there anyway

    wat mark is considered good? in MX2

    The idea that people who do MX2 are complacent is surely a misconception... except for those scurvy people who do it just so their 3unit maths counts for two units.....but I know what you mean, that people can be complacent about 'just' getting 70% Anyway, 'a good mark' is the best you can do...

    volumes question

    I really suck at volumes, but from a glance it just looks like its pi. Integral of 0-12 36 + 21h - 2h^2 dh =pi(36h+(21/2)h^2-(2/3)h^3) =pi(432+378-144) =666pi? Don't take my word for it though...wait till someone remotely intelligent posts :P

    Sydney Grammar Trial Answers

    Last year's trial was reasonably merciful...which is bad for me because they'll write a hard one this year :S But they had to write a reasonable paper given the ridiculous 2004 HalfYearly in which over half the candidature got less than 50%

    Preliminary Course Structure?

    At a glance it looks like the Sydney Boys' way facilitates doing Ext. 2 I don't think the syllabus is fixed for Year 11 at all; certain things just need to be covered before other things. E.g. you'd find it mighty hard to do polynomials without calculus etc. Some of the things that other people...

    Complex numbers

    "also can anyone help me with this one: simplify : (1+3^1/2) + i(1-3^1/2)/(1+i.3^1.2) how do you simplify that" Assuming you meant, in the last part, i.3^1.5; you just realise the denominator. If it really is i.3^1.2,,,,,,I don't think they would ask that.

    Famous Inverse Trig Questions

    Isn't it just pi/4? Let a=tan^-1 (1/2) Let b=tan^-1 (1/3) Then tan(a+b)=1 (from part one) Therefore a+b=pi/4 So tan^-1(1/2)+tan^-1(1/3)=pi/4

    finishing the 4u hsc exam

    True. They didn't change the HSC for 30 yrs, they're not gunna change it again for a loooooong time. I think that attitude is most definitely a DIRECT reason for the lack of a fair HSC. Besides; being blase isn't an attitude, it's a lifestyle:P
