    Maths Help Please :)

    Consider the curve f(x) being the line y=0. Therefore f'(x)=0 and f(x)=0 so this satisfies the conditions. When x=7, y=0, therefore the y value is 0.

    Integration Question

    The way I do questions like this is by recognition. Notice that you have (1-x^2)^0.5 on the denominator and an x on the top. When you differentiate (1-x^2)^0.5, it will become (1/2)*(1-x^2)^-0.5*(-2x). This is very similar to the given integral (just missing the minus sign in fact). Therefore...

    Does Yr 12 students entitled to have 'holiday breaks'?

    Do both. It's important to have a balance. What I do now is wake up around 7 (that's my normal time, most people wake up later), then study for a few hours. You're finished by about 10 and then you have the whole day to go out, have fun etc. Then you can do a bit more at night if you want.

    Can someone please help me with this syllabus dot point? (Topic 2)

    I'll give you one example and then maybe you can do the rest. Suppose Australia's exports increase dramatically, whilst imports don't increase as fast (as is the case in the current mining boom). This will lead to a smaller deficit/bigger surplus on the BOGS. But at the same time the extra...

    If you come first for everything, you aren't affected by anyone else. Theoretically you could get 99.95.

    It all depends on the school though... Last year, our dux of english in Yr 11 ended up on 85% and this is at a selective school.
