OK this is some assistance rather than giving you the answer. If you're still stumped post back. 1. a) You don't need to know log8 3 to work this out. You should be able to equate this quickly by solving 8x = 2. b) Use part a) and log8 3 = 0.528 to work this out. 2. This is just a standard...

You won't lose marks for not using set notation. However, it's cleaner and easier to specify exactly what you mean using set notation so it's a good thing to learn and apply. Jones and Couchman is a great book for learning basics but is a terrible book for questions applying those basics. As...

Yeah, this is pretty much the spine of a serious fantasy reader's collection. About the only thing you're missing is Vance's Dying Earth series as well as his Lyonesse series (which in my opinion takes the cake of best in show tied with Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series and of course...

Why did Hamlet take so long to revenge his father's murder? Why when presented with such motivation and opportunity did he fail to act? University lecture series have been devoted to this so I'm sure you could condense the ideas and arguments down to a 5 minute speech. Remember that the key is...

You've skipped a few steps here that are going to confuse some people. What I was pointing out was that your method is limited to simple indice-balancing questions. This works but denies students a deeper understanding of what logarithms are all about. A simple: 7x = 36 log 7x = log 36...

Ok then, get your monkey and his method to evaluate: log736. Best Regards Herremann

Uncle's right, I'll just fill in all the gaps if you treat it equating x. Given log4 8 = x The inverse function of a logarithm is the exponential function of the same base (in this case the 4). Therefore taking 4 to the power of each side: 4log4 8 = 4x Therefore: 8 = 4x Now you can...

Actually, the definition of the "special point infinity" is that all curves will intersect it once meaning that parallel lines will meet at the special point infinity - but that's all applied to relativity I believe.

Actually no. However, next time you look at a globe look at the north and south poles and you have your answer. Best Regards Herremann

As I said, good luck to you. If you can't comprehend how she wasn't in a good position (as I posted earlier) to say no, then that's your limitation, not mine.

Actually I don't think her motive was money (ABC doesn't pay for interviews). I also don't think she was acting and shedding crocodile tears. Her motive was to finally get a chance to screw over those she felt deserved it. I suppose she succeeded. It's very simple, Matthew Johns wasn't thinking...

I bet you he cares now. I bet you he now wishes he had have done something at the time. I'm obviously not going to change your mind that what happened was not a good thing so good luck to you. If you think it was all perfectly OK more power to you. Matthew Johns was in a position to tell the...

It's actually the real world with real consequences, not some fantasy. As for one person taking the fall? The woman's life has been destroyed, Matthew Johns has had his career and marriage almost destroyed, and there are others who will have to put up their hands to say they were involved and...

Being completely outnumbered certainly wasn't and that is the crucial part of the argument. Either Matthew Johns or Brett Firman should have stepped in to stop it getting out of hand. They didn't. It was obviously not entirely her fault. Best Regards Herremann

As the primary instigator of the affair Matthew Johns could have stopped it getting out of hand; which the situation obviously did. He apologised to her afterwards at the time, so he obviously knew that what happened was not right. Her mental state was directly caused by the actions of all...

Behaviour that has effectively destroyed a young woman's life I suppose. If you think this is a good thing or that Matthew Johns needs defending then fair enough. The girl obviously regrets that she never said no - not that she was in much of a position to at the time. Best Regards Herremann

It's pretty standard actually for a good 2 Unit class: there is no real solution. It's in the same basket as 2( x + 3 ) = 2x + 6. For this, x is an element of the set of real numbers (and complex numbers too for ext 2). One is a solution where no real values are true, while the other, all values...

Thought I'd chip in here. Maths in Focus I notice a lot of hate on this thread for Maths in Focus which I find surprising. As an accessible introductory text, it provides a greater range of standard questions than the similar but lesser Jones and Couchman. Perhaps its greatest strength over...
