    biology vs physics vs chemistry

    Completely agree. HSC physics is pathetic in terms of preparing a student for tertiary level physics. HSC physics is now engineered such that General Maths students have almost no disadvantage compared to a 2U (or above) student. I mean its just simple trig (projectiles), and substitution into...

    biology vs physics vs chemistry

    No, i just didn't find it at all useful. It's just all about memorising essays. Also, in my opinion should be called "literature". To add to all this i never really liked my teacher lol

    biology vs physics vs chemistry

    Physics is much much better than chemistry, in terms of content. Didn't do biology. SO maths+physics>chemisty>biology>humanities>dirt>>>>HSC English

    2009 Question 7 & 8

    -Homogeneity in cosx and sinx Example Q: sinx+cosx=1+sin2x Solution: sinx+cosx=cos^2x+sin^2x+2sinxcosx sinx+cosx=(cosx+sinx)^2 cosx+sinx=0 and cosx+sinx=1 etc -Generating a telescoping sequence Example Q: sinx+sin3x+...+sin(2n-1)x Solution: times numerator and denominator by sinx...

    Some maths books

    Im thinking about getting Volume 2, where did you get it from? Did you order it from the site? I was going to but it was $50 postage. Thought there might be a better option.

    year 10-11 transition..anything to look out for

    I think you are your best judge on whether you will completely change from yr 10-->yr 11, for the following reasons: 1. Did you actually do any homework at all? did you study? did you summarise all your notes? did you put minimum effort into all assignment? If you did do summaries and...

    Eight Study Periods (of 55 minutes each)

    I bought the Cambridge for $45 Terry lee was $50 or something If you use them wisely then the HSC mark will more than make up for the $120 in long term

    Top mark in 4U CSSA 09?

    I think you'll find 115 would be 100 in the majority of papers, and 90% likelyhood of top 5 in state. 110 would be 99 i believe, i would say 105 for 98.

    Top mark in 4U CSSA 09?

    Arent you asking what CSSA 2009 Raw score would roughly equate to a >98 HSC mark? If so i have no idea, what are some of the highest marks on BOS?

    question on complex number

    It would be just as easy to find all the roots of z^3-8=0, since it factorises nicely. (z-2)(z^2+2z+4)=0 z=2 and z^2+2z+4=0 (z+1)^2-3i^2=0 (z+1)-√3i=0 and z+1+√3i=0 therefore z=2, -1-√3 and w where w=-1+√3 i But untouchablecuz's method is better for most Q since its more of a...

    Eight Study Periods (of 55 minutes each)

    Get Cambridge and Terry Lee. They supplement each other well. Saying that though, coroneas could replace Terry lee

    2009 Question 7 & 8

    In 1993 they asked a Q: prove that e^x=1+x+x^2/2!+x^3/3!+... It's expected that they will ask for the power series expansion of sinx or cosx sometime: sinx=x-x^3/3!+x^5/5!-... and cosx=1-x^2/2!+x^4/4!-...

    School Certificate Maths Question

    Yeah i thought that too but he said what if i get a similar Q, ie. the possible answers may not make it so obvious next time, so that's why we provide a solution.

    School Certificate Maths Question

    lol yeah i know, but thats basically what i done, just explained why we add them since (Vt=Va-(Vb)) but i suppose that would look really odd to a yr 10 student

    School Certificate Maths Question

    You use vectors Vtotal=Va-(-Vb) So we set Vb to -Vb because it is going the opposite direction to Va Since V=D/T so D=VT for a and b, now becareful because 15mins has to be converted to hrs to keep all the units right. So 0.25hrs Da=60(0.25)=15km Db=80(0.25)=20km Therefore one travels...
