    FORT STREET HIGH - home of the red haired hippie

    It's like the street intellectual way of saying "I concur".

    If you are in year 11, read this first.

    Threatening to contact the BOS worked for me; it took about a four or five week fight to get into 4-Unit (because we were "full"). If there's a will there's a way.

    Whats your dream UAI.. and what do you think you will get?

    I'm pretty sure that all they want is a UAI of 85+... I could be wrong.

    Whats your dream UAI.. and what do you think you will get?

    1. 99+ 2. 94+ 3. - Arts/Medicine (BA/MBBS) at UNSW which needs roughly 98 plus all that UMAT stuff OR - BA adv. (Philosophy & pure math) 98.85 at USyd (into post-grad med ... but that comes later)

    Graph

    Working out frequency first... We're dealing with EMR so: c = f x (wavelength) ----> frequency = c/wavelength If you plot KE versus frequency then what you're graphing is: KE = hf - Wo i.e Kinetic energy as a function of frequency. Where: - KE is the kinetic energy of a photoelectron...

    That's all you need mate. If you've got the mind to do reasonably well at 3U and you have the motivation then you'll be fine :).

    FORT STREET HIGH - home of the red haired hippie

    I think the club is based around going to fshs, frontline is just a common source of misery which unites us.

    FORT STREET HIGH - home of the red haired hippie

    w3rd, go Fort Street. We're all in the same boat for these assessments, noone is prepared (or at least that is what I'm banking on ;)). I've done what I can tonight, now I'm going to work on my chi and get the good vibes happening.

    HSC scandal teacher betrayed by daughter

    Read carefully, it seems they're refering to the mother. Prior activity like that has the potential to make her operation seem quite dodgy indeed.

    Polynomial division help

    Do it by inspection for cubics, polynomial division sucks. You could try out ruffini's method: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini%27s_rule If you know that (x-1) is a factor of x³ - 7x + 6 then: x³ - 7x + 6 = (x-1).G(x) By inspection you know that G(x) = x<sup>2</sup> + ax - 6...

    clueless about my future

    You've done a lot of the sciences (math, phys, chem), which ones do you enjoy most? (and which bits of individual subjects fascinate you?)

    maths questions

    For the first one, they made a typo. For the second: Consider E = mc2 ---hence----> m = E/c2 p= mv p = (E/c2).v from above since the velocity of EMR is always c, v=c so: p = E/c a more convenient way of expressing this may be p = h/wavelength since E = hf =...

    Mechanics Q's help plz.

    In this case retardation is decceleration and the rate of deceleration increases uniformly with the distance moved (from the origin I assume).

    integration question

    Limits definately make a difference...

    A rather annoying polynomial question.

    The second method is quite ingenious.

    integration

    You could also just do it in a single straight substitution: &int; x<sup>3</sup>/&radic;(x<sup>2</sup> + 1) dx let u = x<sup>2</sup> +1 ----> du = 2xdx int = 1/2&int; x<sup>2</sup>2x/&radic;(x<sup>2</sup> + 1) dx = 1/2&int; (u-1)/&radic;u du = 1/2[2/3.u<sup>3/2</sup> - 2&radic;u]...

    Nihilistic and existential are different, am I right?

    Class of 05 - UAI & Course?

    At the moment these are the two main options that I'm looking at: Combined Arts/Medicine (BA MBBS) UNSW which requires roughly 98+ with a good UMAT and interview score. alternatively, B Arts adv. (Philosophy & Pure Math) 98.85 at USyd, after which I would hope for a brief segue into...
