    I'm confused about - everything

    Here is it a little basic guide to the HSC that I'll type out because I'm bored. You probably already know the process but here you go. (Not as interesting as the previous guide) Edit: This only applies to NSW and maybe ACT as each state has their own curriculum. Before year 10 (School...

    A few questions from an interstate student

    Here is a little bit about education in NSW. 1. UAI is now being called ATAR. (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank - I think) 2. English is mandatory even if you are not applying for an ATAR. 3. English is the only course that definitely counts towards your ATAR. 4. If you have more than 10...

    Would u still do English

    completely agree here too. i think the fact that good maths people who work hard at english still get good UAIs/ATARS is good. what would they get if they didn't do english and did another course that interested them and they were good at? however i do sorta find it odd that we have to choose...

    Sick during assessment Question

    would like to see the outcome of this. however get a doc's certificate, contact the head teacher/ principal. hope for the best. if it fails, yeah it sucks but not the best time to report sickness. go harder in the next test. good luck.

    Who's going to TSFX in July?

    i'll be definitely going to this lecture aswell, our teacher has been away a lot due to health reasons and we have only done 1 lesson of our 3rd module. we did "quanta to quarks" as our 2nd topic and it took us 2 terms to complete. so disfunctional. hard to get rhythm with this topic...

    Would u still do English

    there wouldn't be a chance in hell of me taking english. i think maybe if english wasn't compulsory it could become a more successful subject area. I also think there should be a course where analysing texts is the major focus perhaps 'literature", another course for others who are not as...

    2003 2 unit trial, last qu.

    All my dots = x i) Volume of cylinder= pi.r^2.h pi.r^2.h = 300 h= 300/pi.r^2 ii) A of Cylinder= 2.pi.r(r+h) = 2.pi.r^2 + 2.pi.r.h = 2.pi.r^2 + 2.pi.r(300/pi.r^2) =2.pi.r^2 + 600/r (Cross multiply) =(2.pi.r^3 + 600)/r iii) A = (2.pi.r^3 + 600)/r = 2.pi.r^2 + 600r^-1 (Split into two...

    Really basic substitution..

    Well here it a little note, (3 x 2/3) = 2 (since the denominator cancels the 3's out) Therefore 2-1 = 1. So the first bracket is now equal to 1. Now 2nd bracket, (2/3 - 2) = (-4/3) Now to the power of 4. =256/81 divide by 81. boom you have 3/13/81. be careful when you plug it into the...

    6 units of science?

    Well here is a summary of what I think. (note- my bias opinion . Excuse any typos). Prelim Bio - Seemed really boring. Lots of info to remember. 4/10 difficulty. Prelim Physics - Was standard difficulty. Some basic maths ability required, primarily rearranging equations and subbing in values...

    If you could pick up additional subjects, what would they be?

    So far I'm doing: Eng Adv, M Ext1, Maths, Chem, Bio, Phys. What I'd like to do: Eng Adv (Hate it but compulsory), Maths Ext 2 (didn't have it offered at my school), Chem, Phys, Chinese beginners and Spanish beginners. (Didn't even know what OHS/distance ed was till this year).

    Differentiate question.

    Answer. 5x-3/x^2 using quotient rule (vu'-uv')/v^2 =(x^2).5 - (5x-3).2x/ x^4 (dot indicates multiply) =5x^2-10x^2+6x/ x^4 (expanded brackets) =6x-5x^2/x^4 (rearranged) =6-5x/x^3 (divided everything by x as it is a common factor) Hope that helped.

    A Comparison of Textbooks

    I wouldn't recommend using Maths in Focus by itself. I think that you need to compliment it with harder questions from other textbooks such as Fitzpatrick and Cambridge. Or you can just use one of these harder textbooks instead of MIF. (My recommendation.) The textbook that I am using now is...

    logs?

    yah just a typo. but i fixed it up. thx anyway

    logs?

    1. 2logx + 3 = log(x^5) 2logx + 3 = 5logx 3logx=3 (subtracted 2logx from each side) logx=1 (divided each side by 3) x=10 2. log (1+root5 / 2) + log (3+ root5 / 2) = log((1+root5/2) x (3+root5/2)) (You have to expand the brackets and multiply the denominators) =log((3+root5+3root5+5)/4) =log...
