    First Year Subject Advice for 2018

    Thank you so much! That was very helpful. I'll definitely keep in mind all that you've said. A final question: Would you think the best course of action is to overload 6 units of OLE over with in semester 2 and then overload the final 6 in semester 1 of year 2 because it seems hard to overload...

    Higher Level Integration Marathon & Questions

    Really hope I'm right coz this took me forever. Also sorry for bad LaTeX. I=\int_0^{\pi} \mathrm{ln}(1+2a\mathrm{cos}(x)+a^2)\mathrm{d}x \frac{\mathrm{d}I}{\mathrm{d}a} =\int_0^{\pi} \frac{2\mathrm{cos}(x)+2a}{1+2a\mathrm{cos}(x)+a^2}\mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{a}\int_0^{\pi}...

    When are you deciding on which University?

    Uhh, my school was weird. I did well in math in year 9 so they were like "yeah screw it you and these other three kids can do accelerated 3U" and then me and my other friend decided to do accelerated 4U.

    2017 HSC Mathematics Extension 2 paper thoughts?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I get: Yeah 8 is B which is just by subbing in (-x) into the equation. Then 9 is C. So dy/dt = dy/dt * dt/dx = -x/y * 1/y = -x. Then, consider that in the first quadrant, y is positive so dx/dt is positive, and hence x is increasing. So it seems like it...

    Yeah, that was my logic as well, hence why I did negative. But, yeah as you said, I don't see any real reason to deduct marks for neglecting the negatives.

    I'm guessing, either I'm wrong in doing the negative, or even if you can technically do a negative they won't care about it. Like, I won't pretend to know all the definitions in conics, so you could totally be right. And in that case doing the negative is wrong.

    I'm not sure if they'd require that honestly, a and b are usually assumed to be positive anyway. I just did that for completeness.

    Vertices on the y axis don't exist though. Sub in x = 0 and you get y^2 = -b^2 which unless y = b = 0, is impossible, and b=0 can't be the case either. I did forget the other case though which I've fixed up now.
