    How many prescribed texts do we HAVE to have?

    hmm depends what module you're doing, personally I don't think you can trace the evolution of crime fiction in four texts.. so I'm doing two prescribed (because I hate The Skull Beneath the Skin) and about five relateds, three novels, two short stories. I remember at the start of the course...

    The 2004 HSC - Mathematics Extension 1 Paper

    haha I left this because I had ten minutes left once I'd finished the paper (leaving about four questions out) and went back and did this in the last minute! my working's really dodgy though so I hope they'll count it, maybe 2/3? don't know.. aside from that I reckon 70s/84 probably.

    Question 1

    I think text one and four were good to compare, because text one was all about how journeys are unpredictable (because there were the feet on the path but the guy still had to have a map) but can be prepared for, suiting the form of a informational CD for HSC students, while the fourth one is...

    Crime Fiction Sucks

    Just wanted to say that and don't give me any of that 'oh it reflects social conventions' bullshit, it's ten years behind any other genre in terms of recognising social values, it's boring, formulaic, predictable, aggravating, and a downright waste of time for anyone involved. Thank you...

    Complex numbers

    since I don't understand what people have done to answer this question, I'll post this: arg (z + i) = arg (z - i) arg (x + i (y+1)) = arg (z + i (y-1)) tan^-1 ((y+1)/x) = tan^-1((y-1)/x) [take tan of both sides] (y+1)/x = (y-1)/x xy + x = xy - x 2x = 0 x = 0 hmm.. again the...

    Question, urgent

    ahh it's ok, four unit english counts for a lot, as long as you've gone well for your other subjects, which are good, then there shouldn't be too much of a drag down. Good luck and Veck is a he :D

    Question, urgent

    ok I do 4u maths, 4u english, french and chemistry. I wanted to only do ten units but I had to do four subjects for the HSC.

    Quick Question

    hmm.. I thought so too.. then I checked it again and I can't see anything wrong with it at all the line between these two S root(sinxcos^3x) = S root(sinx(1-sin^2 x)cosx) is S root(sinx.cosx.cos^2 x) which is legit...?hmmm... EDIT: Sorry, check that, I didn't quite catch on to...
