$\noindent The range of the piecewise function will be the union of the two ranges posted by kawaiipotato above (the second of which should be written $(-\infty, 1)$ of course.). So the range is $(-\infty,\infty)$, or in other words, $\mathbb{R}$.$
It depends what you mean by "matter". It's not like there's a theoretical "ATAR cap" based on your school rank or anything if that's what you were thinking.
Re: Several Variable Calculus
The basic ideas are:
- When x = 0 or 1 (the endpoints of the domain), f_n (x) = 0 for every n, so the convergence at these x is clear.
- For any given x in (0, 1) (interior of the domain), the fact that exponential decay dominates power function growth yields...
$\noindent Try sketching the graph of the cubic $y = (x-a)^2 (x+b)$ and deducing the solution to the inequation from that. If you're not sure how to sketch that graph, you should learn this first.$
If you want the actual physical area, it's the one using absolute values.
The thing that is 0 is the signed area, or net area.
If we just say "area" of a function on an interval without saying "signed area" or "net area", we would probably be referring to the physical area, which is always...
Re: MATH2601 Linear Algebra/Group Theory Questions
No it need not be. Say V = R^2 and W1 = R^2 (= V) and W2 be the line (t, 0) (the x-axis). Take T to be a rotation map by 90 degrees counter-clockwise about the origin say. Then T is a linear map from V to V, so T(V) = T(W1) is a subspace of W1...
In fact, the median ATAR at James Ruse last year was 99.2 (mentioned near the bottom of this page: http://www.jamesruse.nsw.edu.au/about/achievements (as at 22 May, 2017)).
