    Perms and Combs Help

    Thanks for part i. But for part ii, as the other 2 guys realised, and I just realised, you have to multiply that answer by 2...so I guess the answer is 240. Either way, both given answers are wrong, so thanks for confirming that. :)

    HSC 2003 Q7a Help

    Oh my god, I can't believe this...I didn't even comprehend that it said the bearing from David to the mountain was 109°. I actually don't understand how I did not notice that it said the bearing from David, and kept thinking it was from the mountain, after attempting that question at least three...

    Trig Question

    I got 36.06m (2 dec. pl.), which is basically what you got too, so I can confirm that the answer given (43.3m) is wrong. This is my diagram anyway, since you asked for it: Thanks for your help again. :)

    Trig Question

    No, it was handwritten, so there were definitely no typos going on. I think they misread the diagram they had drawn and thought the 30 n.m. for BA was the angle (30 degrees) they needed. Thank you for confirming this for me. :)

    Trig Question

    I had used the cosine rule to find angle BCA, and I got 49 deg. 46' (nearest min.). I didn't use MAC (I couldn't understand how it helps answer the question); I used angle MCA, for which I got 65 deg. (using alternate angles with angle SAC as you mentioned) Then I said that as angle MCA = angle...

    Trig Question

    I know this seems like a relatively simple enough question, but I cannot get the "right" answer, so please provide the answer, and don't just half-complete the question. I just want to know the answer so that I can confirm whether or not the answer the answer key gives is wrong. Thanks in...

    Trig Background Question

    For example, angle theta is an angle between the x-axis and the ray. I just want to know if there's a reason for why it has to be the x-axis, and not the y-axis.

    Trig Background Question

    Hi guys, I have a question regarding calculating angles, and though it's not really that important, I would really like to know it just for my knowledge... oh, and please explain in relatively simple terms!!! It says that "acute angles must be calculated relative to the x-axis, and never the...
