    I might come down to Melb soon and check out st hilda's actually, i've heard good things. Btw, how did you go with O-week? Did they let you live on the college during O-week? because i heard that you can only be admitted to college 3 days before uni commencement (march 1st). Do they let you go...

    correct That's not correct, try counting the in two terms succession and you might see a pattern, the Q is really simple if you see it

    New question: Find the values of r and n if in the expansion (1+x)^n in ascending powers of x, the (r+1)-th coefficient is twice the r-th and (r+10)-th coefficient is twice the (r+11)-th. What is the greatest coefficient in this expansion?

    A locus problem.

    m(AP)=2m(BP) [The m just stands for gradient] Using m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) m(AP)=y/(x-a) m(GP)=y/x+a y/(x-a)=2y/(x+a) [Since m(AP)=2m(BP)] y(x+a)=2y(x-a) yx+ya=2yx-2ya yx=3ya x=3a, As required

    That's really awesome dude, i really really love the university, cannot wait to commence. I think my first preference will be University College. I've only been to Queens, Ormond, Trinity and University Collegem and just like the atmosphere of it more than the others. Which College are you at?

    Or maybe 2Re(z)+3Im(z)=4, converted it to 2U form, thus i retract my previous statement haha

    It's easy but it's still 4U, this is a 2U thread if i'm not wrong

    The question is when you have the gradient of the tangent to the curve and a point, hence to find an expression for f(x) you just integrate and find C. Should be right

    equal roots means a double root so discriminant is=0 ∆=b^2-4ac=0 (k^2-2k+1)+4(2k+1)=0 k^2+6k+5=0 Factors: 5,1 (k+5)(k+1)=0 Hence k=-5 or k=-1

    d/dx[(1+sinx)^5]=5(1+sinx)^4 x(cosx) =5cosx(1+sinx)^4 Question(Harder 2u): Using the fact that: (a-b)^2>=0 where a>b show that a^2+b^2+c^2>= ab+ac+cb

    1978 2unit hsc

    Papers 2000 and 2003 are probably the hardest in my opinion. Specifically the 10b from 2000, and the last two questions from 2003 are much harder than sourrounding years. 2004, 05, 06 and 07 have interesting Q 10's but they aren't relatively hard, just require intuitive thought.

    Aww right, so moved down there for uni? what course and uni? and ahh right, not that far from albury at all. You liking it in the city? i'm going to uni of melb next year for BEngineering. Staying on college first year at least so that should be awesome!

    exact value of tan10

    All values are in degrees: tan80=tan(60+20) =(tan60+tan20)/(1-tan60tan20) =[√3+(2tan10/1-tan^2(10)]/(1-√3tan20) Simplify gives: [√3tan^2(10)-2tan(10)-√3]/[tan^2(10)+2√3tan(10)-1] Since tan80=1/tan10 therefore tan10=[tan^2(10)+2√3tan(10)-1]/[√3tan^2(10)-2tan(10)-√3] Alternatively...
