    Circle question

    [O is the centre] AOC = 2.ADC (angle at centre is twice angle at circumference) ADC + ABC = 180 (cyclic quad) ABC + CBP = 180 2.CBP = 2.ADC = AOC *and for b) it's just cointerior angles on parallel lines

    How far are your classes through your HSC courses?

    we've done precipitates and a bit of other solubility stuff. I dunno if that's part of water though. we also did a bit on the structure and formula of eth/meth- etc -ane/ene/yne though not much (I think that's in energy)

    Circle question

    ABC is 3^2=9 times bigger than ADE, since they are similar and AC is three times bigger than AE. Similarly EFC is 4 times bigger than ADE, so BDEF is 9-4-1=4 times bigger.

    binomial q

    you want to find 2*n + -1*(8-n) = 1 3n = 9 n = 3 ie you wan the coefficient of the 3rd term edit: stuffed that. you want the term n from the end - there are 9 terms so you want the 6th term

    we havent even started water or energy in chem. havent done polynomials, parabola, parametric representation, calculus, perm/comb in maths/ext

    Differentiation

    number of hours = distance/velocity = 3000/v .'.fueld used = (50 + 10-6v3)*(3000/v) = 150000/v + (3v^2)/1000 b) A' = -1.5*10^5 v^-2 + 6*10^-3 v = 0 v^3 = 2.5*10^7 This is a minimum for A as A->infinite as v->0 or infinite Then just calculate values for v and A.

    polynomials question

    edit: you can still do it by multiplying the (x-1)(x-4) by a^2, it just takes more time than solving simultaneously straight away

    actually come to think of it shaon0's method was best anyway

    polynomials question

    I'd still say it's quicker to just expand both sides and equate coefficients

    3 u maths questions

    [t = tanx, c = cosx] if you rearrange to find tanb, you get tanb = t/(4+3t^2) now multiply top and bottom by 2c^2 2sc/(8c^2+6s^2) = sin2x/(2c^2 + 6(c^2+s^2)) where c^2 + s^2 = 1 and 2c^2 = cos2x + 1 = sin2x/(cos2x + 7)

    Most Interesting Subject

    nah I don't go to SBHS. I was finding maths quite interesting initially when we did inequalities, absolute values and trig which I was largely unfamiliar with, but when we started geometry and stuff.. it got boring very quickly.

    Re: 回复: Re: 回复: Re: 回复: Re: What UAI are you aiming for? yeah I'm not sure whether I want to try get into BSc (Advanced Mathematics) or Bsc (Advanced). What are the main differences between them + do you know the difference between different universities (Macquarie, USYD, maybe UNSW) for the...

    Most Interesting Subject

    I would probably say physics is the most interesting now. I swear I learnt next to nothing all term with chemistry and math/ext so they're taken way down.

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Re: What UAI are you aiming for? I want to do Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics), so 95.95 for macquarie, or 98.85 (I really doubt that I'll get that) for sydney. I'd be fairly happy with 90+ though.

    Biomial Probability

    I'm still a bit lost as to why you can't just do the "0.2 x 0.8 x 0.2 x 0.8 x 0.2 x 0.8 = 64/15625", or what "6C3-(5C1x3C1x1C1)=5" means.

    One question

    a) 4!3!2! = 288 b)2/4*1/2 = 1/4 is this really mx2? it seems easy even for mx1 (assuming I'm correct)
