    Help for Second Derivatives

    Hi! I have managed to get the first derivatives of all of them but I'm stuck at getting the second ones. For example, the first derivative of c is -1/2t2, which I managed to get, but if I change it to 1/2(t-2) (which is the same thing... right?) and try to differentiate, I end up with -1/t3...

    Year 12 Extension 1 Cut-Off

    I remember hearing briefly at the beginning of this year (year 11) that there was a cut-off for 4U maths, that you had to have a raw mark of at least 75% in prelim. 3U at my school to get in, and had to rank within the top 40 or so of the grade. A week ago, a friend of mine was breaking down...

    Hornsby Girls High - to go or not to go

    I'm not a student of HGHS or anything (considering I'm a guy, lol), but my older sister had the choice of going to either North Sydney or Hornsby back when she retook the test in year 10, but she chose Hornsby. As for the environment, from her rantings, there are the usual groups that can be...

    How to Stop/Reduce the Number of Stupid/Careless Mistakes?

    My greatest problem in maths tests is my ever-present amazing ability to perform an amazing feat; to make the stupidest mistakes possible. And by stupid, I mean STUPID. For example, in my first prelim maths exam a few weeks ago, there was a question regarding absolute values worth 7 marks in...
