    Unfortunately due to the nature of the HSC this can remain the case in many schools.

    Trial Discussion Thread.

    Good Sir, this isn't the right attitude to have. Even in defeat you must be gracious. There is a full life ahead of you full of challenges much greater than the HSC that you must overcome so do not run from doing your best because it may become a habit. Relationship wise, academic, work life...

    2012 Maths Paper Problem :L

    $Clue for$\; c):\; $Notice the equation of the circle touches two points on the parabola. What can we say about the discriminant? Also what can we say about the positioning of$\; y?\; $It is always in a certain range of values? Your intuition was correct when you solved for intersection points...

    2012 Maths Paper Problem :L

    I defined a point S for Spiral here. \cos \theta = \frac{OS}{1} OS=\cos \theta \sin \theta = \frac{ST}{1} ST=\sin \theta T(\cos \theta, \sin \theta)

    2012 Maths Paper Problem :L

    $i) Thought processes: We are required to find equation$\; PT. \;$Now, notice that\; $PT$\; is tangential to the circle. Does this remind you of something? Calculus? Maybe we can differentiate as we may do but there is a term involving$ \;y,\; $we haven't learnt how to differentiate implicitly...

    Trouble with manipulating indices (differentiation)

    Uhm, the reason I showed you the image wasn't for the question. It was because I thought you needed help with changing things around (and that may have lead you to understand the question better)

    Trouble with manipulating indices (differentiation)

    That's the correct answer.

    Trouble with manipulating indices (differentiation)

    I will show you another example perhaps. y=\frac{1}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}} y'={\color{Red} -\frac{1}{3}}*\frac{1}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}{\color{Blue} -1}} \textup{{\color{Red}\; We multiply the front by the original power in this case, -1/3} AND {\color{Blue} we subtract one from the exponent}}...

    Trouble with manipulating indices (differentiation)

    Uh, nope. try again. Read carefully what I wrote in red and blue. You'll get it, just keep trying.

    Trouble with manipulating indices (differentiation)

    y = \sqrt{x} $First I want to highlight something. Let's assume that$\; m\; $and$\; n \;$are positive and$\; n \;$is not equal to zero. Then these forms are equal.$ $We note,$\; \frac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{n-1}, \;$for$\; n \neq -1 $Mentally, we think of this as multiplying the front by the...

    Round 20: Sydney Swans V Collingwood

    Madam Elizabeth unfortunately you are incorrect. We are clearly the better side at the moment. 4th placed against 7th place. We won the last two against you guys, last margin was 47.

    State of Origin

    Lol NSW's attitude wasn't good either. They complain too much to the umpire instead of playing on.

    The Jersey names will work only if you two are always together.

    A list to everything we need to know?

    I also have an idea, if you want you could request a question here for a specific point in the syllabus for example page 16: "16.2 The remainder and factor theorems" and people can post questions to test you.
