    Checking over answers

    Do all the questions again, try to do it in an alternative way or perhaps in a "riskier" way or perhaps sometimes depends on the question, do it using the long method see if it yield the same answer. Also when you look at the answer, try to think about whether the answer is reasonable. Say if...

    The good thing about the degree that I did is that it qualifies you to become a teacher. You don't have to do that degree if you plan not to become a teacher, you may consider bachelor of advanced science at usyd which they offer a lot of challenging courses in maths and sciences. I think...

    You don't need 5 years. 4 years is sufficient at UNSW but 5 years are required in USyd but you get an honours degree in education. The good thing about unsw is that you get to choose whether to do honours in maths or education if you decide to complete in 5 years while at usyd you are forced to...

    harder complex number question

    If you draw the figure, the complex number w1-w2 represent the base of the isosceles triangle. The apex of the isosceles triangle has angle alpha1-alpha2. Hence the base angle is 1/2(pi - (alpha1-alpha2)). By exterior angle of the triangle the arg(w1-w2) = 1/2(pi - (alpha1-alpha2)) + alpha1 =...

    Annoyingly hard HSC Question..

    noice level from L1 is N1 = L1/x^2 N2 = L2/(m-x)^2 The noice level at P is N = N1+N2 = L1/x^2 + L2/(m-x)^2 dN/dx = -2L1/x^3 + 2L2/(m-x)^3 = 0 solving to get L1/x^3 = L2/(m-x)^3 (note do not attempt to cross multiply and expand as the resulting cubic equation becomes difficult to...

    Loan Repayments

    Let An be the amount owing at the end of the nth month. r = 1 + 18/12% = 101.5% = 1.015 Let M be the amount of the monthly repayment. Then A1 = 2000r A2 = 2000r^2 A3 = 2000r^3 A4 = 2000r^4 - M A5 = 2000r^5 - Mr - M . . . A48 = 2000r^48 - M(r^44 + r^43 + ... +1) = 2000^48 -...
