This thread is so much funnier when you know the person(s) involved... that being said, chemistry smells. Btw, how'd you do in chem? you aced everything else.

You could just sub P(acosA, bsinA) into the equation and do some fancy algebra. Alternatively you could show that the equation is that which describes the chord PQ (which it is). For the latter method the biggest hurdle is finding the gradient in a suitable form then it kinda falls into place...

In the above spirit of quotes: "Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself." - Satre The fact that satre said it doesn't make it right, but I still think it's worth thinking about.

I really don't think that was their point. It seemed to me that 'who_loves_maths' was insinuating that hayleekate doesn't put in any effort and hence that she doesn't understand the concept of hard work. From her reply it would appear that this is not the case. 'who_loves_maths' did say that...

I did it last year (our school sent a strangely large number of students... close to 20?) and it was fun and relatively interesting but it's nothing particularly special. I did the nerdy rubik's cube one (crash course in combinatorics I geuss) and the CSI (cool science investigators...) one. The...

Just an alternative I'd like to offer. e^lna = a so it follows that: log_e3^2x+5=1 3^2x+5= e e^ln3(2x+5)= e¹ ln3(2x+5) = 1 2x +5 = 1/ln3 x = 1/2.ln3 - 5/2

You should starting by letting the number you're trying to find be represented by the letter 'n'. Using the statement you gave me: When you add n and 5 ------> n+5 and divide that by 4 ------> (n + 5)/4 then that equals 3 ------> (n+5)/4 = 3 then you just manipulate it...

It's a crucial factor but experience will make all the difference. Imagine a situation where you get to Q8 but it's really familiar because you've done a hard question like that before. Your life suddenly becomes a whole lot easier. Here, a lot of it comes down to luck but your chances are...

A lot of existentialists are misinterpreted as being nihilistic when, in fact, that is one of the things that they actually stand against. This comes back to the idea of readings of a text and you can certainly do a nihilistic reading of an existentialist text. While this may be the case I think...

Newton's law of cooling. T = P + Ae^-kt where T is the temperature of the object, P is the temperature of the surroundings and A is the difference (T - P) Since T = P + Ae^-kt then dT/dt = -kAe^-kt [ where Ae^-kt = T - P] hence dT/dt = -k(T -...

If you really wanted to use them and you had a graph where the motion had uniform acceleration then they aren't too hard to derrive. If you've got initial velocity u and a later velocity v ( where v > u ---> or v < u ) then you can use the fact that the area under a velocity vs. time curve is...

If the BOS values it then it must be important...

I'm sorry you thought it was arrogant but I was illustrating my argument with a very real example. My point hinges around the fact that I'm not particularly amazing at the questions but the fact that I have experienced certain question types before makes them much easier the next time I come...

Pure, but some areas of applied appeal to me. I havn't really been exposed to enough to make a decent decision though.

And now I feel ignorant. Where was I arrogant? Coach me. (honest request)

I'm missing your point. Either you have dry sarcasm or we're on a different page.

Using simpsons and integrating a parabola in the form y= -4x(x-a)/a i got the area of such a parabola as being 2a²/3 Since x² + y² = 4 the base length of a cross section of any given x coordinate is a=2&radic;(4 - x²) using the area of the...
