i'm not too sure if the other ways work.
the only downside with using my method is having to expand cos3x. it's 6 lines of working, so it's not too bad.
To integrate cos<sup>3</sup>x:
You have to first expand cos3x.
After expanding, cos3x = 4cos<sup>3</sup>x - 3cosx
.'. 4cos<sup>3</sup>x = cos3x + 3cosx
.'. cos<sup>3</sup>x = ¼(cos3x + 3cosx)
and then you integrate from there.
i think there are some combinations in which u can't get a UAI of more than 99 or so. but that would only occur if a student did all the low-scaling subjects. it's mainly the fact that the lower-scaled subjects are capped. so i don't think every subject combo can get 100.
check out the resources section of bos.
* i'm also looking for additional papers to the ones in the resources section. i can't seem to find any nsbhs or nsghs trial papers...they'd be good practice if i could find them.
worth repeating if u get 47/50 and then do ext 2?
i'm not too sure if this is entirely accurate, but i think a couple of guys in my year got 48 or 49/50 and are repeating.....:confused:
ok.
one other thing....with a graph like tan<sup>-1</sup>x + tan<sup>-1</sup>(1/x), would u be marked down if u forgot to draw open circles on the y-axis at the end of each horizontal line?
i gotta compete with yr12 ext 1 and ext 2 guys as well. not only that, but they generally get near 100%, which makes it tough to beat them. my opportunity will come next year when i redo ext 1 (if my mark isn't high enough this year)
i can't be exactly sure that that is what the question is asking, but its only my own interpretation.
is it an isolated question, or is part of a whole question? coz that might give u more of an idea of what they're asking.
i think a good tutor would motivate his/her student. that's probably the key to getting a good mark. unless u:
a) don't understand the work/aren't grasping it as well as others
or
b) can't motivate urself to do extra work/study
then i don't think u'd need a tutor, as they are the primary...
