Find gradient of AB

Hence since they are perpendicular, you can find gradient of CN.

Find equation of CN using co-ordinates of C.

Solved AB and CN simultaneously to find N.
for some reason i dont get (3,2).. what was the perpendicular distance used for? i dont think we need it.. but i simult and got y = 6/5

oh shit.....
l got 6/5 and 7/5 for the coordinates of N
damn...
l lost 3 marks
so that's 14 definite marks gone. l don't think l can get band 5 now :(

all that effort these 2 years was for nothing.
all because of some silly mistakes...

Guys does anyone have the answers for the probability for the hsc. Here are the Q's

Q 13 C)

Two buckets each contain red marbles and white marbles. Bucket A contains 3 red and 2 white marbles. Bucket B contains 3 red and 4 white marbles.

Chris randonly chooses one marble from each bucket

i) what is the probablility that both marbles are red

ii) what is the probability that at least one of the marbles are red

iii) what is the probability that both marbles are the same colour




My answers:

i) 9/35

ii) 26/35

iii) 9/35 +8/35 = 17/35

But he randomly chooses from two buckets.

So don't you need to times it by 0.5 because of that?

Plus he picks two of them
