If you are giving up the gradient question, try the next one that you asked for.

Sorry, it was Drongoski asking for another question.

No I wasn't asking for another question for myself. I thought once a question was done another question need to be posted. I myself have no question to post.

x can only = 1 so that y = 0 and so log₁₀(x+y) = 0.

thats a good one

$f\left ( x \right )$
is an odd function and
$f\left ( x+2 \right )=-f\left ( x \right )$ .
When
$x\epsilon \left ( 0,1 \right )$ , $f\left ( x \right )=2^{x}$ .
Evaluate
$f\left ( log_{\frac{1}{2}}18 \right )$ .

Lol, if you're going to be all smart using notation not used in the HSC then at least get it all right. f(x) isn't a function; it's a rule.

y = log (1/2) 18
(1/2)^y = 18
ln ( 1/2)^y = ln(18)
y= ln(18) / ln(1/2) = -4.1699

now we know that f (-x) = -f(x) ( because its odd ) = f(x+2) = ( given to us )

therefore we add or subtract multiples of 2 to the value of y until it gets inside the domain [0,1] , then we can use the rule f(x) = 2^(x) , but it will never get in that domain :|

something similar to that, cnt be bothered right now

Can someone please answer my conics question on like page 2 or 3, so I can get some questions going too.

Oh god. Noones going to type all of the proof.
a) is x(x1)/a^2 - y(y1)/b^2 = 1
b) PS/PS' = (x1 -a/e) / (x1+a/e)
TS/TS' = (ae-a^2/x1) / (ae + a^2/x1)
=(x1 -a/e) / (x1+a/e).

Usually we just say function f(x), we don't say the rule f(x) of the function

He prob wants someone to post the solution step by step. I'm definitely not going to do that

Could some one teach me how to use LaTex? cos this link http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=234259 isn't working.

Hscishard have you done integration? I know ohexploitable hasn't. :-\

hscishard · Jan 31, 2011

4unit integration? Na, i've only read parts of it.

Evaluate
$\int_{-\pi }^{\pi }x^{3}cos\left ( 3x \right )dx$

Bored Of Fail 2 · Jan 31, 2011

zero -its an odd function

a product of an odd function (x^3) and even function (cos(3x) ) gives an odd function

= 0

Oh I didn't see Bored's answer. Again it shows he knows his maths.
