It's not that it's bad, or lacking in merit in any way, shape or form, for that matter, but it's just that its reputation isn't up to scratch. It's viewed as inferior to the other strains of science. Neither the origin of this view, nor the truth, or lack thereof, in this appraisal seems to...

That'd better be the case, otherwise I'm having my Eco teacher indicted for slave driving and severe malpractice! Still, it doesn't sound like you guys got it too smooth either so it's great that you ended up making such great coverage of the paper (over an hour on an Eco essay - ecstatic...

Unemployment can balloon in the short term due to competitive pressures, however, following structural adjustment, should ultimately decline in the medium to long term. Not necessarily. Sometimes uncompetitive firms will shift their operations to more efficient sectors, or can even choose to...

Ha ha ha! Fluid, as ever, Slide! Way to go! Doubtless, but I just told you that that awareness should have come before a prodigal step was set down, through other precursory, yet obviously neglected, observations. Post script: I am getting angry. ROOOOOARRGGGHHHHH!!! Fee fie foe fum! I...

No probs, man. Projected figures suggest that Australia will experience economic growth measured at 2.6% of real GDP over the coming financial year, 2005-06 (according to predictions made by the IMF). As to right now, conditions are even more barren, with the ABS recording a modest rate of...

You can't be, unless you pay regard to the properties exhibited by the algebra, the trig and/or the graph itself! That way you would know its superfluity before you even wasted the time writing it! (not that it isn't tops to explore new things for yourself, which I don't, at all, discourage. All...

That's cool :) Also cool, but be aware that your second case is superfluous for the purpose of answering the original question Observing the relationship between arg(z-2) and arg(z-3+2i) when the product, (z-2)[z-(3-2i)] is taken, and, additionally, noting that the graph is continuous for all...

These are the principles upon which you've based your reasoning, however, do not illustrate the exact conditions upon which your proof relies, respective to the question. You have solved the problem assuming the half-ray emanating from the P(2,0) has 0 ≤ arg(z-2) ≤ π/2, then solved the...

You guys seem to have taken this question to the wildest heights ever! It's just about wrapped up, but I'll throw my two cents in anyhow ;) Absolutely spot on, man. In fact, this has been the most direct method to see light in the thread thus far. Rearranging, the locus, in terms of x...

One of the angles could be obtuse, in which case tanΘ will be negative (i.e. lose the absolute value signs from the RHS) Sketeching this Δ, it can be seen that the obtuse interior angle occurs at the vertex, (2,-1). Drop the absolute value signs off your ∠ between two lines...

In this context, all economic policies can be treated as govt policies. By definition (or at least, by the definition presented in the curricular context), a policy can only be that which is enacted by the govt in response to some economic issue/s. AWAs (Enterprise Bargaining Agreements etc.)...

The above method is called the subsidiary angle method, and is sometimes called the auxiliary angle method because the angle introduced ( i.e. α ) is secondary to the angle you're solving for (i.e. x). It's different, although memorising the methods for each situation is not at all...

Hey man, Displacement vs. Time Graphs: There isn't much to this. The only questions that may arise on this topic will involve calculations of average and instantaneous velocity, or calculations of total distance covered over a given interval of time. For instantaneous velocity, the...

Take the absolute value of the accelerations as the maximum, since maximum is asking for the magnitude of the change in velocity, direction notwithstanding.

Exams: Ext 1 Maths - 99% (1st) That's all I have at the mo, numerics-wise! I've been told I placed first in every one of my others, though (*cheering!!!*), except for Economics, which I don't know about yet (dying from the suspense...) I'll let you guys know when the others come in - I'm...

This year :) Nah, don't feel stupid. Soz if my post was taken the wrong way. I wasn't meaning to shut anyone down or anything :P I was more just trying to illustrate how important it is to get your head around some of the finer points of the subject, 'cause, in my experience, it's deficiencies...

No worries, dude. AB is a diameter. Therefore, the arc, AB is half the circumference. If the arc, AP is twice the length of the arc, AB, then AP is the circumference. i.e. Point A is Point P Hence, # = 2pi = 360° = 0° (From general, # = 180n, n integral) Now, 2sin# =...

No, an appreciation will curb inflation. This is because an appreciation cheapens imports, forcing import-competing domestic firms to curtail their prices and, hence, contain inflationary pressures. This isn't really true. Every inflow and outflow (credit and debit) on each account is...

Hedging is buying other currencies on the FOREX market to gain from short term movements in their values. If you buy another currency, and then its exchange rate rises, you can sell the currency and make a profit. This means a capital gain that could make inflation easier to bear. ;)

Hedging is eco-lingo for speculation on the FOREX market. You generally speak of establishing "hedge funds" in the market for the purpose of turning short term profits on currency movements or, in some cases, retaining your holdings as financial assets over the medium to long term. Since...
