    Bad MX2 teacher?

    I taught myself the whole 4U course, didn't have a teacher at all - only help I received was from my 3U teacher every now and then when I needed assistance with a question. It can definitely be done. Like Deliriously said; learn the concepts, do a few questions from the textbook and then just...

    Trig question

    You can verify it by using expansion of sin(180-x): = Sin(180)Cos(-x) + Cos(180)Sin(-x) = 0+(-1)[-Sin(x)] = Sin(x) :)

    Year 12 2012 Chit Chat Thread

    Mark Needed For Band 6

    Well, if mid 60's/100 is an E4 in the new format, then around 65% of 120 would be an E4 in the previous format. i.e. 78/120

    For questions that are worded '...and at least 1 related text', could we ONLY use one

    Re: For questions that are worded '...and at least 1 related text', could we ONLY use Well they didn't ask for 'just ONE related text', they've explicitly stated that you may use more than one in the question so I really don't see how your teacher got you in trouble for doing 2. Personally, if...

    Band 6 raw cut off?

    Realise is correct. You need ~78% raw (as in 2010), which is around 93-95/120, to get a Band 6 in 2 Unit maths. This will slightly vary year to year depending on the difficulty of the exam.

    When doing circle geo questions in HSC

    You're allowed to take a curve-drawing template in with you to the HSC exams, so I always use one of them to draw my diagrams. You should be able to get one from your newsagent.

    How do I do this integral?

    Basically, the integral \int {\frac {e^x}{x}} \, dx is known to be 'impossible' to integrate in terms of finite combinations of elementary functions. So, this integral is also impossible to integrate in terms of elementary functions. This is, in fact, the Exponential Integral; Ei, which is a...
