    Maths Extension - Algebra

    Hiii. Okay can someone please help me with this question? Keeping in mind you're speaking to someone who is mathematically challenged. I have a worked answer for it but I don't understand it. Factorise fully: (m+2n)3 + (m-2n)3 The answer is: 2m(m2+12n2) The first line of working...

    Yaaay More Differentiation

    ... which I can't do. 1) Find the maximum and minimum values of y = (x + 5)1/2 for -4 ≤ x ≤ 4. Answer: max: 3, min: 1 2) A surfboard is made in the shape of a rectangle and semicircle, as shown. The perimeter is to be 4 m. Find the maximum area of the surfboard, correct to 2 decimal...

    Easy physics question

    Yep definately after ten minutes. Answers are probably wrong then. Lol okay I did do something stupid for the second part - I forgot to change the time to seconds. Thank you both! :)

    Easy physics question

    "A cross country runner runs at 3.2 ms^-1 for 5 minutes north, then runs at 4 ms^-1 for 10 minutes north. He then returns to the start at a steady pace, taking 20 minutes. Find: b) his diplacement after 10 minutes. e) his average speed for the whole journey." According to the answers: b) 3360...

    how hot does it have to be for us to go home?

    Yeah our school's certainly not airconditioned. 'Cept in the computer labs but that's because the Apples are more important that the students. Yep. :)

    Victorian bushfires

    Re: At least 14 dead in Victoria bushfires It's awful. The ones at Redesdale and Bendigo are maybe 15 km from where I grew up. I wouldn't be suprised if the death toll does rise to not far from Ash Wednesday.

    About Additional Material...

    Okie just to clarify... You can't use a prescribed text as your additional material, even if it's not your prescribed text. Right?? Because I wanted to do the book Romulus, My Father but I just realised it's prescribed. So I might just have to cry now. Yep. :mad1: I'm right right?

    Differentiation again.

    Okie another stupid (probably) question: "The curve y = ax^3 + bx^2 - x +5 has a point of inflexion at (1, - 2). Find the values of a and b." I suppose you have get two equations and solve them simultaneously or something but I can only get one and I don't know what else to do. Thanks. :)

    Differentiation Question

    O yay it works! Thankyou! :)
  14. Crosswinds

    Differentiation Question

    Okie, this question's annoying me 'cause i know it's really easy but I can't get the same answer as is in the back of the textbook: "Find any turning points on the curve y = (4x^2 - 1)^4 and determine their nature." I worked out that the stationary points are (0, 1), (0.5, 0) and (-0.5, 0)...
