    Mathematics Marathon HSC 09

    Sn = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d] so S10 = 5 [84 - 45] = 195 x^3 - 27 = (x-3)(x^2 +3x + 9) solve for x. (2e^2x) - e^x = 0

    Speeches: structure?

    Suu Kyi - Logical structure > “tell then show”, introduces points in introduction, illustrates argument with examples. Chronological/ascending ladder structure. Upbeat & encouraging intro – created by positive, emotive words ‘wonderful’, ‘splendid’, ‘greatest’ – congratulates the women who have...

    Stalin's Great Terror essay help

    well i argue Stalinism started to develop around 1922ish when Lenin was basically a ghost. Dont be fooled by the question, its asking about the development of Stalinism. i'd talk about the success of the Cheka in the civil war, Stalin's political cunning and his close ties with the head of the...

    A Couple of questions

    what do you specifically want do know about the cash rate? [im guessing how the RBA manipulates it?] you dont need to know current statistics but DEFINATELY know current trends and proportions. e.g. know the trend in our CAD as a % of GDP over the past few years. be aware the cash rate has...

    HSC 2007 Answers

    SUCCESS ONE hsc book. but if your like me and have the one that only goes to 2006, [and used the answers to the 2008 from the the resource section] my only solution would be.. borrow one from a friend or ask your teacher to mark it.

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    ah! THANK YOU! i was waiting for some proof rather than "you just round up." so i should have treated January as the 0th month, and december as the 11th. 0 < January <1/12 1/12< February < 2/12 2/12 < March < 3/12 3/12 < April < 4/12 4/12 < May < 5/12 5/12 < June < 6/12 6/12 < July < 7/12...

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    i know that you should round up normally. but the wording of the question makes me think otherwise. usually the question would ask AFTER [or by. etc] what month are there 4000mil phones. but this Q asking DURING which month does N reach 4000mil. and you cannot argue that N reaches 4000 in...

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    yes i see where you are coming from. 2008 - 1st year 2009 - 2nd year 2010 - 3rd year but my point still remains that 4000mil was reached after 2.88 [2years 10months] years.... which is October 2010. what makes you say it occurs in November and not October?

    What do i need for Band 6

    because i am slow! my maths teachers have taught me so that i basically write down EVERY line of working, and it takes me forever to do plane geometry and trig. JUST GOT 113/120 for 2007 HSC! :drink: that's gotta be a mid to high band 6?!

    Rounding in Physical Applications of Calculus

    now. i have an issue with this question. it is Q8(a) from the 2007 HSC. specifically the issue is in part (ii). the question says "According to the model, during which month and year will the number of mobile phones in use first exceed 4000 million?" which is fine. we find t = 2.88...
