    How did everyone go? (Discussion)

    i got 0.375 for part b the area was a rectangle across the unit square wasn't it with corners, (0,1/4), (1/4,0), (3/4,1), (1, 3/4) soo, the sides are sqrt(1/8) and sqrt(1 1/8), multiplying base * height = 0.375 so P(they meet) = 0.375/1

    How did everyone go? (Discussion)

    i got 12 minutes for the last answer which i'm 100% sure is wrong because the probability was 0.375 for 15 minutes, so for 0.5 it has to be > 15. i hope i get some marks along the way though...

    Angle Between Two Lines Formula??

    that is extension-1 work and it won't be required for the upcoming exam if m1 and 2 are the gradients of the two lines, then tan@ = |m1 - m2|/(1 + m1m2)

    Significant Figures

    if the answer is exactly 0, then rounding to 3 significant figures is 0.00 if it is 0.00012345 then 3 sig fig would be 0.000123

    How do I do this?

    well i've never heard of this before but: P(1st) = 1/200 * $100 = 50c P(2nd) = 1/199 * $50 approx = 25c soo, 75c is her "financial expectation" but she spent 1 dollar so she loses 25c

    Raw marks --> Band placement?

    um 73/120 (60.8%) in 2003 scaled or aligned or whatever to an 82% last year a 111/120 would have placed you in top20 of state 100/120 is well into band 6

    trigonometry help

    you press the degrees minutes seconds button [o' "] <-- assuming you have a casio calc remember your trig ratios for q1 tan30 = 120/(x + BC) tan50 = 120/BC BC = 120/tan50 1/sqrt(3) = 120tan50/(xtan50 + 120) xtan50 + 120 = 120*sqrt(3)*tan50 x = (120*sqrt(3)*tan50 -...

    What ARNT You To Sure About For Tomorrow?

    well you said yourself the quarterly rate was 6% so you just leave it at 6% if it says 6% p.a. (per annum) then you divide by 4

    What ARNT You To Sure About For Tomorrow?

    remember:- 1. "ratio of intercepts on transversals passing parallel lines are equal" 2. volume of cone = 1/3 pi r2 h 3. add interest before subtracting the monthly/yearly payment in loan repayments 4. similar triangles are your friends 5. know your graphs of secx cotx and cosecx...

    max/min

    when proving a point is a maximum is the table enough? sometimes you just know that it's going to be a max so if you found a max at x = 3, will just writing f'(3 - a) > 0, f'(3) = 0, f'(3 + a) < 0 get you full marks for the proving? because sometimes there's 50 other variables and...
