    Reliability, accuracy, validity

    Hi all, Under which category, (reliability, accuracy, validity) do these fall under? 1. ensuring high precision through repetition. (when I googled precision it defined it as accurate?) 2. removing the outlier 3. drawing a line of best fit 4. minimising experimental error I'm...

    Geometry problem

    This is probably actually 2U, but since I thought of this while doing a 4u question, I placed it here :) (feel free to move it if required) Suppose for any triangle, you find a point such that x = y (refer to below diagram) would alpha = gamma? (i.e. would a line drawn from it it bisect...

    Structure with 3 prescribed texts?

    For module B, some of us have to write essays that require 3 or more prescribed texts. e.g we may be asked to compare 3 speeches or 3 poems So how would one go about structuring their essay on this? (and the 3 texts have to be compared evenly, unlike AOS/Module C where you can focus less...

    Inequalities q

    Can we do this: RTP 1/a^2 + 1/b^2 + 1/c^2 >= 27 (cambridge q. ex 8.1 q8) given a + b + c = 1 and a>0, b>0, c>0 Consider: (a^2+b^2+c^2)(1/a^2 + 1/b^2 + 1/c^2) >= -54(ab+bc+ac) which is true (I think ..) since RHS is negative whereas LHS is positive >= 27(-2(ab+bc+ac) >= 27(a^2+b^2+c^2 -...

    Weird math problem

    This is a MX1 problem, but I came across this while doing Terry Lee's 4u book... if a = 10-v^{2} , and initially v = \sqrt{5} m/s at x = 0 , find v in terms of x and describe its resultant motion Textbook's solution: a = 10-v^{2} v\frac{dv}{dx} = 10-v^{2} \int \frac{v}{10-v^{2}}...

    School estimates

    I know many selective schools give out their atar estimates with the half yearly report but what about other schools? are they required to release atar estimates or is this a selective school only thing? (just wondering because I think my school does not seem to release them) :(

    General solutions question

    This has been on my mind for a while, but I never bothered to ask an explanation For the general solution: cos\theta = 0 Using the yr11 formula, we should get \theta = 2\pi n \pm \frac{\pi}{2} But some textbooks have: (cambridge) \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + \pi n (iirc) Why does this...

    t rule

    is there a reason why textbooks all do: t = tan\frac{x}{2} \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}sec^{2}\frac{x}{2} \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}(1+tan^{2}\frac{x}{2}) \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}(1+t^{2}) dx = \frac{2dt}{1+t^{2}} instead of: t = tan\frac{x}{2} tan^{-1}t = x/2 2\frac{dt}{1+t^{2}} = dx...

    Partial Fractions Question

    How would you do it for this? Textbooks only teach you the repeated linear factors. But what about the non-linear ones? Someone please clear this up for me Thanks :)

    Difference between Evaluate and Assess?

    Hi Assess: Make a judgement of value, quality, outcomes, results or size Evaluate: Make a judgement based on criteria; determine the value of Don't these two terms basically ask for the same thing? (for humanity/science subjects)

    What should I do in my free time?

    Lately I've been watching anime (a LOT actually) and I realised that this probably isn't the best thing to do. I don't want to go back to playing computer games either. And I'm not the sporty type - so any form of exercise is completely off the table. Any ideas to pass time? (besides...
