    ellipse question

    actually, it is pretty much 1 of the only subjects with the MOST shortcuts. refer to the next conics quesiton asked that i just answered. we used a definition to get there in 1 line.

    ellipse question

    no man unless u can point a definition to me this could be done in relatively short steps, it could be a 2-3 mark question so it is worth it.

    Conics Queston

    a. extremeties of the latus rectum so asec0 = ae (since by definition the latus rectum is the perpendicular line throught he focus) so sec0 = e as req'd b. again the top half and bottom half is symetrical so 2 x the top half and the top half is y coordinates of p so 2 x b...

    ellipse question

    this is a standard textbook question, make sure u can do this! b, find the coordinates of Q (i assume u know how to do that since u did a) then find its gradient find the gradient of SP and show that m1.m2 = -1 THUS IT IS PERPENDICULAR. c. well the line which goes through the...

    2006 Unsw Co-ops

    i would prefer not going if we dont have to, my friends 18th is on the 4th. but like, if the place is close to sydney, maybe i can drive home sat arvo and come back or only stay for the 1 night

    general maths v 2 unit

    it comes down to what kind of UAI u want to achieve. ( you could get a high 99 uai with general maths, but if u combine that with standard english and other lower scaling subjects, basicly a uai of 100 becomes impossible because of the maximum mark restrictions) a 98 in general maths is...

    which topic is hard?

    basicly, the difference between first in the state and liek someone who gets low 90's is harder compex numbers and vectors. harder 3unit (the number theory) mechanics is ALL repeats, there is only like 5 questions ever for each chapter. Once u do some mechanics, u will fall asleep...

    yea, i read it again and im like.... hmmm i hope he doesnt confuse that to be 216 or something.

    ministry of sound was at home tongiht.. anyone go to that?

    Conics

    the first part is very easy what do you think about when it says right angle m1.m2 = -1 so basicly b^2/a^2cot@cot& = -1 so -b^2/a^2 = tan@tan& b. this ones a bit more difficault, since its not exactly 0,0 but if u get the gradient for P and Q and do the same thing as above you get...

    Conics

    . i think your really missing the point of sketching... always go back to your definitions. it could be an easy 4 mark Q in Q3 or so.. X^2 + 16y^2 = 25 is the same as X^2/25 + Y^216/25 = 1 and by your definitions... b^2 = a^2(1-e^2) as trev said in other post since a>b F...

    Conics

    im not sure why u r having a problem dont u know the formula's this is an ellipse correct so u use this formula: b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2) and the foci is S= (+-ae,0)

    conics

    2 is simple just solve simultaniously (easiest way is to substitute in the ellipse x = -2y-5 then show that this creates a perfect square, 1 answer thus its a tangent. now that you know the y quadrant put it in the tangent and get the x quadrant.

    Requirements not met for class, student not enrolled

    call enrolment: 9385 1110 but isn't math1131 math 1A? so wouldn't you take math 1131 in session 1 and math 1231 in session 2? unless math1011 is the ext 1 hsc course that your doing first session, then math1131 in session 2 and math1231 in the summer session? but i don't know about...

    Semester 1 - Course Selection [ What the...? ]

    i noticed that... one place is like req's for math 1A: *E4 in Math Ext 1 then another place: E3 in Math Ext 1 they just try to scare you to study i think.... most of the syllabous seems like the 4unit one. minus matricies *scared*
