Re: Very experienced HSC tutor at Burwood, 98 for 3u, 96 for 4u
This guy is a genius !
I can not begin to emphasise how great this guy is ! Completing my HSC in 2010, I had never been tutored and so was always worried about who was going to tutor me, and whether he’d do a good job or not...
Hahaha. This is soo funny.
Not being good enough to do MATH1141.
It's not going to get any easier at university.
Should be fun though :)
I think our first exam is in June.
Should be fun guys ;)
Yes well. It comes from experience. When you're doing 4u parametrics you learn a lot.
My best advice is to factorise whenever possible. Make every line of working out neater and neater. Try to eliminate ugly fractions immediately.
Looking at : (2a)p^4 + (3a)p²+a, you can see how I put the...
Hahahah! Parametrics always brings up a lot of algebra. You should see 4u conics (which is parametrics with hyperbolas etc etc), the algebra goes on and on :D
So, by giving Q (x0,y0) we are working towards generating two equations which will consist of Q ONLY.
1)PS in perpendicular to QS...
By letting Q be (x0,y0) we have to set ourself a goal. We have TWO UNKNOWNS.
If we somehow generate TWO equations both constituting of these TWO UNKNOWNS, they can be easily found through the process of simultaneous equations. The algebra isn't nice. Factorising involved. But deterministic has...
Yes. Foot ---> Human Foot ---> Located at the bottom OF:
1) Draw the tangent at P
2) Draw a line FROM S so that it is PERPENDICULAR TO the tangent at P
3) The Point of intersection is M.
I've always disliked the "foot" terminology.
Development yes. Do well in development and you're looking at a great understanding of the particular section.
Extension..NO. Lol. That's specified for people who really enjoy mathematics, require a challenge. For the 4unit people.
Here's another solution. I'm just going to make sure you understand what you're doing. I'm a big fan of understanding maths as it will help you A LOT >_>. Another thing to remember is that you should pick the FASTEST method in solving problems. determinisitc has found a very fast and elegant way...
As stated in the previous posts, there are many. But even more so, they can be manipulated in ways that can make them quite hard :|
Yes, the 2010 Q8 was a doosey. My best advice is to do past papers. Go to questions 6,7,8 and do as many as you can. With trigonometry you always have the typical...
CSSA isnt that bad. are they meant to be easy? cause.. =/ .. ye....
2009 was pretty easy
2008 was hard =[
i dont rate exams accordin to Q1-6
Q7-8 tell u how hard an exam is imo...
for eg..2009 was easy....induction easy, inequalites...back track...reduction formulae easy....and circlue geoo :|...
