    Simple Integral

    cos3x = cosx(1 - sin2x) So the integral = int (cosx/sin2 - cosx) Integral of -cosx = -sinx For integral of cosx/sin2x Let u = sinx du = cosx dx = Int 1/u2 = -1/u So integral = -1/sinx - sinx + c

    quick questions on basic differentiation of the trig functions

    Use the chain rule: [f(x)]n = n[f(x)]n-1*[f'(x)] This means; multiply by the power, reduce the power by 1, then multiply by the derivative of the function. 1. sin3x = (sinx)3 d/dx = 3sin2xcosx 2. cos22x = (cos(2x))2 d/dx = 2(cos2x)1*-2sin2x = -4sin(2x)cos(2x)

    Integrating Fractions

    Yeah, constants are unaffected by integration, you just integrate the x and then multiply the result by the constant.

    Weird Question

    sqrt(a)*sqrt(b) only equals sqrt(ab) for the principal square roots of a and b ie the positive square roots. For positive numbers, without this restriction, we could have 1 = sqrt(1)sqrt(1) = sqrt(1) = -1 For the square root of negative numbers, there is no principal square root, so...

    distinction courses

    Correct - you must complete at least one subject at least one year ahead of your cohort. Usually you need to get a band 6 and other selection criteria also applies.

    distinction courses

    I did cosmology last year - I strongly recommend the distinction courses. Yes they have a heavy workload, but they really are a lot of fun. Just a few things to add to what SoulSearcher has already said. Comparative Literature aka Clit is good if you want a small, close group - in our year...

    UAI calculation

    Scaling works to make the system fair whatever subjects you are doing - ie if people doing a subject tend to do well in their other subjects, then it will scale up. This makes it fair as people doing that subject are competing with better students. Moderation of assessment marks is compared to...

    Hsc stats

    Yeah, and for more replace A1 with A2, A3 etc. up to A8

    Differentiating Logarithms Question...

    integral of -4/(x + 4)2 = -4 times the integral of (x + 4)-2 = -4(x + 4)-1/-1 = 4/(x + 4)

    UAI: rankings, schools, internal marks. Help?

    The mark they get is the average of the Aligned HSC exam mark (which is reliant only on the mark they get in the exam) and the moderated assessment mark, which is dependent on a combination of their ranking in the school and the marks achieved by the school in the HSC exam. So their assessment...

    UAI calculation

    Yeah you'd have a good chance of 90 or even 95+.

    AUSTRALIA VS SRI LANKA [the final chapter]

    Yeah and even so, the way Hogg's been bowling there's not much between the two. Oh and how about Hayden, the leading run scorer in the tournament, Clarke, Watson and Symonds who have been batting well, Bracken, one of the best one-day bowlers in the world - who are their counterparts on the...

    Maths SSP and Chem labs

    A bit of a late response but still. I also have the Chem Lab clashing with 1906 Tutorial, so I was told i could just go to my normal tutorial (I have the 1901 lecturer as my tutor anyway). Did you end up doing SSP Maths? Do I know you? :p

    High UAI!

    Just to give you an idea - I got 98.6 with English: 87 Physics: 92 Maths X1: 94 Maths X2: 91 Cosmology: HD They're some of the highest scaling subjects, so you'd probably need to get higher than those marks - you'd be looking at mid-high 90s for 2U Maths for example. However...

    Hsc lectures @ Sydney Uni, 11th March

    Hmm, you go to Manly? Nataly? And I didn't go to the edasist lectures last year but am told that some of them are really useful, others not - just depends who you get as your lecturer.

    3u Mathematics Marathon v2.0

    Re: 3u Mathematics Marathon 2.0 Just something you didn't mention - the person who answers the question posts a new one for others to solve.

    Does God exist?

    I know I always use this example (it's the best one), but explain what quantum fluctuations are dependent on. They exist naturally in the empty vacuum of space and happen without cause. Virtual particles come in and out of existence all the time. Yes, everything in our normal lives seems to have...
