    Has anyone stuffed up term 4 assessments and managed to get over 90?

    That's cool. :) I got 55% in extension 2 maths :( and 71% in Chemistry -- so I'm definitely looking to improve those two.

    How much study do u do in Holidays?

    In the middle is where I want to be too. Haven't started studying yet. Just a note to everyone: don't get hung up in having to finish x amount of topics in y amount of days. It's really not worth it. Just do a bit for continuity and revision purposes; if not do nothing. All will be well.

    At the risk of this already being said, why not do BOTH? And use different formats so the knowledge sticks easier.

    Annual Award Ceremony

    I suddenly like school award ceremonies. I got a leadership award ($250) and essay/uni award ($100). So lucky. :) I also got dux of year 11 (the equivalent award). I'm not worthy though. There are so many people who are better than me.

    Extension One Revising Game

    (1) n = 1, x = sum of exterior angles, s = sum of interior angles = (n-2)180 x+s = 180n x = 180n-s x = 180*1-(1-2)180 = 180+180 = 360 So true for n = 1 (2) Assume true for n = k 180k-(k-2)180 = 360 (3) Prove true for n = k+1 x = 180(k+1)-(k+1-2)180 = 180k+180-180k-180+360 =...

    calculus and curve sketching q's

    y = (2x-1)-1 y' = -(2x-1)-2*2 = -2/(2x-1)2 since we are given the point (2,1/3) sub in x=2 into the derivative to find the gradient of the TANGENT y' = -2/32 = -2/9 now the normal is perpendicular to the tangent i.e. m(tangent)*m(normal) = -1 so -2/9*m = -1 m = 9/2 = 4.5...

    calculus and curve sketching q's

    4. y = 2x2-7x+5 y' = 4x-7 Now for this tangent to be parallel to the line y = 5x-2 they must each have the same gradient i.e. a gradient of 5. So 4x-7 = 5 4x = 12 x = 3 when x = 3 y = 2*9-7*3+5 = 2 therefore the point on the curve is (3,2)

    calculus and curve sketching q's

    y = x-1 y' = -x-2 when x=2 y' = -(2)-2 = -1/22 = -1/4 when x=2 y = 1/2 thus, m = -1/4 at the point (2,1/2) Now use the one point formula: y-1/2 = -1/4(x-2) 4y-2 = -x+2 x+4y-4 = 0

    Difference between prelim and HSC marks??

    As Namu said, it's way too hard to tell. But they usually stay relatively similar if you put in the same amount of work/study. OFF TOPIC: Namu, outstanding Maths result. Well done. You deserve it.
