    Calculation of electron orbits

    Hi, Is this stuff still in the syllabus? The equation is r=(nh)/(2πmv) Also, how about the stuff about cathode ray forces and equating them with the centripetal acceleration (F=(mv2)/r) formula? Thanks

    Complex Numbers

    X²-7-24i = 0 Therefore X=+/-sqrt(7+24i) Let u+iv=sqrt(7+24i) Therefore u2-v2+2iuv=7+24i Equating real and imaginary parts: u2-v2=7 --- (1) 2uv=24 v=12/u ---(2) Sub (2) into (1): u2-(12/u)2=7 u4-144=7u2 u4-7u2-144=0 (u2-16)(u2+9)=0 Therefore u=+/-4 (as u∈Real) -- sub into (2) v=+/-3...

    Complex Numbers

    Note that, w3=1 and 1+w+w2=0 TO PROVE: (1+w-w²)³ - (1-w+w ²)³ = 0 PROOF: LHS=(1+w-w²)³ - (1-w+w ²)³ =(-w²-w²)³-(-w-w)³ =(-2w²)³-(-2w)³ =-8w6--8w3 =-8+8 =0 = RHS Can't be bothered doing the others. Might try later though.

    Preliminary Report on the Scaling of the 2008 HSC w/ tables

    Hmm, I might try and make use of previous years scaling and do something in excel to show the trend. Might try tomorrow or something.

    Raw score that equals band 5 or 6

    Yes you need to achieve a good result in the common paper, but wouldn't that mean it'd be easier to get a Band 6, provided that I did okay in the Standard paper, and well in the common paper?

    Preliminary Report on the Scaling of the 2008 HSC w/ tables

    I've put something together in Excel to show the factor that the HSC marks were scaled by, for those who are interested. I've also made it so that you can compare two subjects' scaled factors by drop down boxes. I haven't done this before so, I'm not sure if this way shows anything much or if...

    Why are sciences and mathematics scaled so well?

    EES and Senior Science do not scale well, they scale down IIRC. As for Ext 1 and Ext 2 Maths, they are difficult. Anyone who's done the courses will tell you that. Therefore it tends to attract those who are obviously good at Maths. To put it simply the 'smart' people do Ext 1/2 Maths because...

    Preliminary Report on the Scaling of the 2008 HSC w/ tables

    That's because the external examination this year was like close to impossible (I heard this from someone who gained the highest mark for MX2 at our school this year) Does this mean that people can 'dumb down' for English and gain better results?

    Notes on BoS

    lol, their domain was registered last year. If they think that they can setup a website like BoS and expect to attract members overnight, then they should think again. Presumably the owner seems to have made several account and created his own discussions due to a lack of members, judging by...

    Now, that's an idea =D Maybe one that doesn't have downtimes every HSC period? :P

    Differentiation of loagrithms

    Of course ln2 is a real number. It's loge2 If x=loge2, then it is the same as saying that ex=2 What are you trying to say?

    Differentiation of loagrithms

    log2x=logex/loge2 [Log rules of changing base] By quotient rule, d/dx=(vu'-uv')/v2 Therefore, d/dx=[(loge2).(1/x)-logex.0]/(loge2)2 =1/xloge2 =1/xln2 Hope that helps

    Notes on BoS

    Why do you want to do this? Some of the notes wont even be relevant for you, or it wouldn't be what you're looking for.

    Important Chemistry Questions! Answer Them As Soon As You See Them!

    I think we were taught how to balance equations in Year 8 or 9 Science, and I loved it (still my favourite part of the Chemistry course), although I like anything to do with calculations. So is this stuff taught in Year 8 or 9, or did my school teach us this even though it wasn't in the...

    Anyone getting their exam papers back from bos?

    Hmm, then where do they records the marks allocated for the questions, if they don't write on the exam papers?

    Raw score that equals band 5 or 6

    Hmm, then does that mean someone capable of doing well in Advanced English (like say they're capable 85 in Advanced), could do Standard and get 90+? Because I know that in Maths at least, a person capable of doing Ext 2 Maths would be somewhat disadvantaged by doing General, as it is capped...

    What happens to ur 2 unit mark when u do ext 2?

    Haha, It'd suck to do English Ext 2. It doesn't even scale as well as Maths Ext 1 :P

    Inverse trig functions

    I see... Is there a list of these results that would be good to remember? And what relevance does that result have to the question? Please excuse my ignorance :) EDIT: I see the relevance, but please let me know if there are a list of results to remember. Thanks
