Re: What does your study area look like? You are welcome to come and trash it, but only after the HSC. For now, I need to be able to find things. I hope you will write 'albeit' in your exams instead, though. :P

We were given the CSSA 2007 paper to practise under exam conditions this week. I'm not the only one who wishes that we had this paper for our trial. LOL.

Thanks! Did you also apply? I hope you got an offer, too. I suspect that if we continue to chat about non-maths things, these posts will be deleted, if the mods are in a foul mood. So: MATHS MATHS MATHS MATHS MATHS and MORE MATHS. I go to Burwood GHS. I was given 98-100. How about you? I'm...

I did not write a proof for pt iii). I was simply telling z600 to do pt iii) in the same manner as s/he did pt i). Which is also a FULLY VALID METHOD - seeing as you enjoy the use of capital letters for dramatic effect. :P Nonetheless, I agree your method is easier. Thank you for clarifying...

Use Chousta's hints for Q1. Q2: Think about the isoceles triangles you've proven in parts ii) & iii). Remember equal arcs subtend equal angles at circumference. Full solutions for Q1 & Q2 are below:

Question says "... the axis parralel to the y axis", assuming, of course, "the axis" refers to the axis of symmetry.

I got that, but using (x - h)² = 4a(y - k)² as the equation of the parabola.

Re: 回复: Re: polynomials Qs~~~~ Be careful with that. It doesn't really matter for this question to let the roots be a - 1, a, a + 1 because of cancellations, but don't ever do this if the question asks to find the roots. You can never assume that the arithmetc mean is 1 out of your...

Re: What does your study area look like? OMG I can actually see a bit of desk! And this was just any normal day... :eek: I wonder if I should feel guilty for not living up to society's expectations of the common adolescent.

I'm an identical case. :rofl: Hey how many pages can you pull with that scrawl in, say, 40 minutes for an English essay? I can only do 5, at the most 6 if I tear a tendon or two. There are those admirably freakish friends of mine who can do 8+ comfortably.

Aww. But your mark is still fantastic! Which subject was this?

I just confirmed 12.00pm on Monday. That was the earliest after 8.45am LOL. I'm hoping my interviewers won't be impatiently waiting to get it over and done with so they can go to lunch...:mad1:

I was looking through the interview times and noticed that pretty much all of the last two days are booked but slots in the first couple of days are still mostly there. So does everyone think that it's more advantageous to go later? I actually wanted to go at 8.45am on Monday, but I live too far...

I wouldn't imagine so, but then I wouldn't really know.

I agree with your answer, kloudsurfer.

But the fact that RBCs have no nucleus and hence is capable of housing more haemoglobin is beside the point, right? It appears to me that this is an adaptive advantage of RBCs rather than that of haemoglobin. I've always stayed away from writing that in exams, but is it an acceptable answer?

Got it at 3:01pm today (Tuesday). Hmm. I do hope they didn't send out interview offers according to current rank. Now let's just wait and see what horrible UMAT score I got. I don't feel too confident about UMAT so I'm surprised that I even got an offer. :mad1: Hope to see some of you guys...

A chemistry teacher at my school is the wife of Geoffrey Thickett who wrote Macmillans Chemistry Pathways. And that's probably the closest I'll ever get to textbook-celebrities. I still drool over the fact the my friend who goes to Sydney Grammar had Bill Pender as his Ext-1 Maths teacher...

Hey those marks are fantastic! Good luck & I hope you will maintain or even surpass those in the HSC.

True. & In addtion to that, phloem tubes would not be able to perform their function without companion cells so they're important enough to have marks attached to them in exam. This is because the energy provided by companion cells to first actively transport sugars from the source into the...
