    Exchange Rates - RBA intervention ???

    Hey guys, Can someone give me a good explanation on how the RBA affects the exchange rate by dirtying the float? Also, how does sterilisation work?

    Biochemistry!

    A few questions about this option module 1) Is this option any good? My teacher wants to do this option because he specialises in it (although he's not a very good teacher anyway so i don't see the point in picking such an obscure option module). 2) How hard is this topic relative to the...

    Question about MX1 marks

    Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway. In 2009 i was accelerated and did 2unit and extension 1 maths for the HSC. For extension 1 maths, my mark was 47/50. However this year I'm also doing extension two maths, so my mark for extension one maths will become...

    Question about Auxillary Method - Trig

    When looking at past HSC solutions the answer always derives how to transform asinx + bcosx into Rsin(x + $) I was wondering if we have to derive it as well, or can we simply use the formula for finding R and $ using: R = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) and tan $ = b/a ???

    1993 HSC Polynomials Question

    This was only in question 3, but i had no idea how to do it. :( When the polynomial P(x) is divided by x^2-1 the remainder is 3x -1. What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x-1) (answer = 2)
