    2015 HSC Extension 2 Maths predictions

    For question 16 I'm predicting that there's going to be a 6 mark permutation question like 2012 HSC. Also having either a summation like all the cssa papers or a conics question like 2013 question 16. What do you guys think :P

    Drsoccerball's 2 Unit Guide

    Before starting I would like to say that there are many people who are better than me in 2U maths on this site and I can confidentially say that I'm just an average student. Putting that aside here's the guide: In order to be so called "good" in maths you need a good foundation. Starting from...

    The integration of e^(-x^2)

    I found the taylor series e^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!} +... $ Let $ x= -x^2 e^{-x^2} = 1-x^2 + \frac{x^4}{2!} - \frac{x^6}{3!}+... $ Integrate both sides $ \int{e^{-x^2}}dx = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}{\frac{x^{2k+1}(-1)^k}{k!(2k+1)}} +C Did i integrate it or not ?

    Solar cells

    Does this sound right ? When light hits an n type semi-conductor, if the frequency is higher than the work function electrons will be emitted towards the p-type semi-conductor from the n-type. Light must hit the n-type semiconductor as the electrons are in the n-type thus it requires...

    Blackholes....what do you think?

    A black hole occurs when a star dies and its escape velocity is greater than the speed of light. Considering Einstein's theory of special and general relativity if i travel at 0.9999c towards the center of the black hole (The speed is only the rockets thrust) would Einstein's theory break and...

    Limiting sum ex 2

    How do you prove \frac{1}{7 \cdot 2^2 \cdot 3^5} = 2(\frac{1}{7 \cdot 3^7} + \frac{1}{9 \cdot 3^9} + \frac{1}{11 \cdot 3^{11}} +... )

    HSC 2015 MX2 Permutations & Combinations Marathon (archive)

    Since there's an individual thread for integration there should be one for something far more challenging. Rules: 1) Answer questions before adding more 2) Questions must have the answer(Since permutations are trivial) but write them in white as a way of checking!! 3) Non-2015ers must wait and...
