    Year 11 2014 Chat :)

    I have to handwrite my notes despite the convenience of typing. Mainly because after the prelim yearlies, my handwriting was far from legible :(

    Economics Marathon 2014 anyone???

    I think that was in the Preliminary course in the second module (Consumers and Business) in depicting economies of scale. Upon a firm's expansion, multiple benefits accrue in manipulating 'internal economies of scale' (i.e. improving their efficiency/productive capacity in lowering production...

    is this a problem?

    Definitely review over year 11 polynomials - past HSC exams cover both prelim + HSC content. Reviewing over year 11 polynomials shouldn't take too long. It's mainly just factor theorem, remainder theorem, graphing, long division, finding their zeroes, in correlation with their geometry. It...

    How to improve short answer responses? Tips + Advice?

    As rumbleroar stated, follow the one sufficiently elaborated technique per mark, providing linkage toward the question in fulfilling the criteria of a two mark question. Otherwise, you're imprudently allotting your time given how you will have to answer the onslaught of three markers...

    Year 11 2014 Chat :)

    Nope. One of my friends has decided to do 14 units, picking up 4u maths. Good thing it's provisional because I'm not sure how he or anyone would cope. :/

    Year 11 2014 Chat :)

    I probably would've done the Asian Five (Maths, Bio, Chem, Physics, Economics), but instead opted for English Extension and MH :/ I regret not picking physics though.

    Percentage composition of nitrogen in ammonium sulfate?

    1. First you have to write out a balanced chemical equation: Ba(NO3)2 (aq) + (NH4)2SO4 (aq) -> BaSO4 (s) + 2NH4NO3 (aq) 2. Given that the mass of BaSO4 is 1.15g, you are able to calculate the moles utilising the equation that n = m/M n = 1.15/molar mass of BaSO4 (don't have a...

    hsc question

    The first sentence should clearly (and succinctly) define what externalities are ('Externalities refer to the cost/benefits associated with the production/consumption of a good/service...'). The rest of the question should be delegated into outlining and ergo explaining the positive/negative...

    Studying for HSC with 14 units

    If I were in your circumstance, I would drop down to 10-12 units at least. It must be stressed that if you maintain the excess four units, they will not count toward your ATAR. Despite how pertinacious you are, the time allotted to those four units could be appropriately delegated to other...

    13 units for HSC?

    I'd have to agree with you on this one - 13 units is quite frankly superfluous. However, given your circumstances, I would suggest utilising the first few weeks of Year 12 to experiment as to which courses you enjoy/dislike (as prelim and HSC can differ quite vastly). If you're still...

    Polynomial Question

    Yeah factor theorem is applicable to integer zeroes (however upon substituting sqrt5 and -sqrt5 = 0) It would preferable to just expand the polynomial and long divide to receive P(x) = (x+2)(x^2-5) then factorise accordingly.

    Polynomial Question

    Considering how it is a monic cubic polynomial (upon finding the leading term), you can quicken the process of finding the roots through looking for the factors of the constant term (of the polynomial) In this case it is -10 upon multiplication Considering how we have found x+2 is a zero for...

    Polynomial Question

    You use factor theorem to ensure whether it is either 1 or -1 Considering how P(1) = (1-2)(1+3)(1+1) -4 = -12 and P(-1) = (-1-2)(-1-3)(-1+1) - 4 = -4 You use the sqrts of 5 instead I just skipped that step because it was quicker to deduce. In future...
