    Auxillary angle method (help please)

    I'm sure you're right, because I think the numbers are meant to be icky. So is theta the acute angle? (When my teacher did it, she just wrote the obtuse one, but I can't tell if her answers are messed up. Then again, she always took shortcuts and didn't explain them >.<) How about the...

    Auxillary angle method (help please)

    I always get this wrong because I get confused between the + or - in: Rsin(x+θ) , Rsin(x-θ) , Rcos(x+θ) , Rcos(x-θ) Here's one example: a) Change y= 3cos(x) - 4sin(x) into the form y=Rcos(x-θ) and sketch. b) hence solve 3sinx - 4cosx = 2 Thanks :)

    Attitude towards HSC

    The gravity being... g = 9.8 ms^-2 towards centre of Earth? Or a different planet now? I'm not suggesting to be too relaxed - I'll still try to get decent marks - just not this whole "3 hours study per night" thing.

    Attitude towards HSC

    I really don't get what all the fuss is about. I actually find it infuriating when people are like: "It's the HSC! Worry everybody! This is the most important thing EVER. It's so important and we have to have no lives because all we're going to do is study! Have you started studying yet? Why...

    Quick Question

    I suppose it just depends what you can make out of it. If you think you can make it work, go ahead and try :) I personally find it harder to do lots of action, because then my descriptions go haywire. Just make sure you get in your ideas and some character development. If the "dramatic and...

    Insulators - Looking for a easily obtainable and inexpensive insulator to decrease...

    Err... welcome! I assume you're trying to make a calorimeter...? In which case you may have thought of using a copper beaker, some sort of lid (cardboard) and sticking the thermometer through that, and tinfoil insulation round the outside... then taking into account the specific heat capacity...

    Year 12 Farewell Song

    That's what the 06'ers at my school had. It was soooooo painful... they played it not once, but TWICE. We all had to sit there in assembly bashing our heads against the chairs and drowning the noise in 'Smells Like Nirvana' by Weird Al.... That's what I did anyway... Legend.

    How was your school day?

    Chem prac exam - all was going well, I checked my calculations... Walked out of the exam then thought "0.09875 rounded up DOES NOT equal 0.01". No one over 8 years old should get that wrong. Somehow, I managed. Bloody lunatic.

    How was your school day?

    Maths exam today was lame. Differentiate this, integrate that, waste your time proving that this rotten blob on your page is a parallelogram... Rubbish.
