    If in a geometric sequence the sum of the second and third terms is 20 and the sum of the fourth and fifth terms is 320, find the common ratio and the first term. Assume that the common ratio is positive. Couchman 3U Book 1 Ex. 14.8 Q18 I tried: ar+a(r^2)=20 ----1 a(r^3)+a(r^4)=320----2...

    Advanced vs. Standard (2)

    Thank you for all the input guys. I am confident I can maintain my rank in standard (1st). The environment of the class... well my school is public and thus there's more standard classes than advanced classes, but the English faculty decided to set up classes in relation to the students...

    Advanced vs. Standard (2)

    I cannot see the thread below this, it seems relevant so that kinda sucks. Anyways: If a student in standard english produced essays/answers worthy of a band 6 in advanced, would this equate/average out to be worth a band 6 in standard? If so, would there be a difference in their final...

    Advanced vs. Standard.

    Oh geez, I'm beginning to regret brushing off my offer now (I had a "oh well, not interested" tone when I was offered). I wonder if I can ask my way up to advanced S:

    Advanced vs. Standard.

    Looking at your sig, you got quite a great ATAR whilst doing standard. Do you rekon you would have done even better in advanced? Great ATAR btw.

    Advanced vs. Standard.

    I've been offered a place in Advanced English. At first, I chose standard because I planned to be a more mathematics/science based student, and thought advanced might consume more time which I'd rather be spending on studying mathematics/science. I topped standard by quite a large gap, and my...

    Repeating HSC at age 21

    There's international students who come at around 17~19, not 21 though. Umm, what kind of ATAR are you aiming for? You should look at the syllabi's on the subjects you're looking at on the board of studies site.

    2 Unit Revising Marathon HSC '11

    y=ln x, dy/dx= 1/x as the tangent passes through the origin, the tangent has an equation in the form y=mx. But m=dy/dx, . ' . solving simultaneously ln x=1/x * x ln x=1 x=e when x=e, y=1 using (e,1) , m=1/e y=x/e I was wondering if a proof such as this is valid: x^e is less than...

    HSC questions easier for girls

    Wonder if Peter West and Peter North are related :P OT: I never realised the delicate science behind the questions set in exams and such could determine the performance of girls/boys. Interesting.
