A few questions from my homework sheet that have me stumped. This is probably my weakest area in math. Thanks in advance and please show working out to the best you can. :) If I may have made a mistake typing the equations, values or whatever, just let me know. 1. A person standing on top of a...

I just need to clarify this; when you are asked to find the coefficient of a certain x power, is it necessary to indicate the negative or positive sign? What about when finding the term independent of x? Thanks, I just got a little confused.

Just some questions I from some random worksheets I couldn't do. Please show some basic working out as well. Thanks. =) 1. Evaluate x√(x^2 -4) dx upper limit: 3, lower limit: 2 using the substitution u = x^2 - 4 2. Calculate the area of the region bounded by the curve y = x / √(x ^2 + 4)...

Explain why globalisation has made it more difficult for individual governments to manage their domestic economy. Just a quick 3 - 4 line answer. Thanks in advance!

Could someone please explain what these questions are asking for, and then how to do them? Show that the following limits do not exist: 1. lim x --> 0 f(x) = { 0 when x < 0 , 1 when x > 0 2. lim x --> 0 f(x) = { x when x > 0 , x + 1 when x < 0 3. lim x --> 0 f(x) = { x^2 + a when x > 0 , 2...

Well, I'm looking for a casual job which I would like to start sometime before or during the Christmas shopping period. Basically, I'm wondering if places like Woolworths, Big W, Coles etc. take age into consideration when choosing new employees? Also, should I agree to take on a few more...

Well, I'm looking for a casual job which I would like to start sometime before or during the Christmas shopping period. Basically, I'm wondering if places like Woolworths, Big W, Coles etc. take age into consideration when choosing new employees? I'm seventeen, but I've been told places like...

Appreciate the help, and please show the working out and a brief explanation, as I'm a bit stumped for these questions. 1. Find the important features of y = (x - 1)/(x^2 - 9) First, I know the x asymptotes for this question is x = -3, 3. I've also differentiated the equation as such: For...

So, are there any fans of TVB/ATV Drama series and movies here? I've recently gotten back into watching HK series and I'm wondering if there is anyone else here who watches them as well. Recently finished Moonlight Resonance/Heart of Greed II and I'm currently watching The Gem of Life and Last...

y = (x - 1) / (x^2 - 9) Could someone please explain how to find the stationary points/inflexion pts and asymptotes of this question? When I try to differentiate it to get the stationary points, I get a weird equation I can't seem to solve. Thanks.

For the following few questions, it asks to sketch, showing any stationary points, inflexion or asymptotes. Can somebody simply show the working out required to find the said points (no sketch needed) and explain how to obtain them them? I am extremely confused when it comes to finding...

Draw it from my explanation if you can: AMB and CMB are two intersecting chords of a circle, centre O. If OM bisects angle AMC internally, prove that AB = CB. I tried by proving congruent triangles ADM and CMB, but it didn't work lol. Thanks to whoever can help. :)

Ugh, don't know if it's just the fact that I'm not used to a laptop or because my MacBook's trackpad is oversensitive, but I keep dragging or highlighting things by accident. For example, by simply scrolling over the applications in my dock I would somehow end up dragging Firefox, Excel or...

Sorry if this is in the totally wrong forum. Anyway, just got my MacBook and since I'm bringing it to school, what are the chances that my school would give me the WEP key to access its internet service? Or do they have the right to not give it?

Question to you: wait and see if the new aluminium MacBooks will really be released on 14th October, or just get the current model? Sources below (a bit of old news for some people, fresh news to me, and lucky I tread upon them otherwise I might be kicking my ass for not waiting): From...

Yeah, before I get my MacBook I want to get a good protective skin so I can put it on straight out of the box. I'm looking at getting an InvisibleSHIELD or BSE semi-permanent skin. BSE is basically the IE skin but much cheaper, however you have to make your own solution to put the skin on. IE...

I've you've read one of my other threads on this IT forum, you'll know that I'm purchasing a MacBook very soon (in the upcoming school holidays, yay!) and I'll be needing a new internet connection because my desktop is still stuck to Bigpond's Cable Broadband. First off, I'd like to ask which...

Argh. Up late studying for my Mathematics Extension 1 Exam tomorrow (or should I say, today), and yes, it means I have been procrastinating for the entire 48 hours which was supposed to be my study time. If you've read my previous threads, you'll know that I'm trying to get at least 80% in my...

Currently studying for an exam, and I know I'll probably go to sleep at around 12-1am. Considering that I will have a good, big, nutritious breakfast, would having an additional energy drink before the exam (Red Bull, Mother) help perk me up just for that 2 hour period I need to complete it? I...

As per title thread. I'm looking for a good book/textbook that basically explains where and how mathematical formulas (those used in 2 - 4 unit NSW mathematics, both the simple formulas and complex ones) are derived from scratch and proves them. If one such godly book does exist, please put the...
