    I don't know what domain you're looking for so I just gave one answer. You can adjust accordingly in you want a general solution: <a href="http://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php?latex=cosx=2cos^2(\frac{x}{2})-1\\ \therefore 1@plus;cosx=cos(\frac{x}{2})\\ 1@plus;2cos^2\frac{x}{2}-1=cos\frac{x}{2}\\...

    Accelerated maths kids! and advice from actual Year 12's on how to handle :D

    Best advice anyone ever gave me was "Don't make mistakes". By following this advice alone, I topped ext. maths in prelim at a selective school. On a more serious note, in terms of every night, do however much is needed for you to FULLY understand the concept. For example, when we were doing...

    Functions question help please

    Look at the value inside g(x) as x and the output as y. Therefore it is a linear (straight line) that passes through the points (3,2) and (4,4). The equation of this line is y=2x-4. Therefore g(x)=2x-4. As g(x) is defined only for x is greater than or equal to zero, y is at least -4. Therefore...

    Parabola?

    Uh the line y=x+6 only passes through A so it can't connect A and B. The line y=5x-6 does. Is that what you mean?

    Year 11 student here, is it important to keep your prelim books for the HSC?

    I haven't even looked at my prelim stuff so far. Honestly though, if you need to use them every now and again, can't you just borrow them back off your brother?

    find x^2+y^2

    For this question, the easiest way to do it would be to solve both of those equations simultaneously as the numbers work out nicely giving you (3,-2) as the values for x and y (or vice versa). Then simply square both of those and your done.
