    Dry cell chemistry

    I've seen many different cathode reactions for the Lelanche cell. The ones in Jacaranda and Conquering are both different and I'm not sure which one is correct. <!--[if !mso]> <style> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape...

    Further properties of definite integrals

    I'm completely lost in definite integrals for 4u integration. The textbook is not making any sense to me. The Cambridge textbook is just confusing and the Terry Lee one just gives one single example with no explanations at all. Could someone kind enough please explain to me briefly the idea of...

    Using substitution to reduce integrals to standard form

    In chapter 5.3 in Cambridge 4u there is an example: I don't understand why it is necessary to restrict the values of u so that each x-value in the domain of the integrand corresponds to exactly one value of u. I'm guessing the same concept applies when doing trignometric substitutions...

    Sketching reciprocal fn

    Hi everyone, I was just doing inverse trigonometric fn exercises in the textbook, but decided not to skip the revision exercise(revisit of inverse fn's) included in it since I having touched it for a while. There is a question which requires me to sketch g^-1(x) = (2-x)/(x-1). How do I know...

    How did the aether model violate the principle of relativity?

    The Jacaranda explanation is not making sense to me: In the late nineteenth century, belief in the aether posed a difficult problem for the principle of relativity, because the aether was supposed to be stationary in space and light was supposed to have a fixed velocity relative to the...

    Heat of Combustion

    For my independent investigation, I'm doing the heat of combustions of hydrocarbons. I was absent from school on the day my teacher explained to the class on how to perform the investigation. I have already researched the topic but I am still unsure about something. Is it true that if a...

    Does english count in your top ten units?

    Let say I'm going to do 12 units in year 12. I score very high for all 10 units except for english(which is compulsory) in the externals which I scored very low. Does my score for the top 10 units count in my atar? or is it that English is taken into account regardless and replaces two of my units?
