Hardest 3 unit topic? (1 Viewer)

[Managore]

For me it's SHM and Projectiles.. I hate that stuff

 

[sub]

projectiles isnt hard...cos they usually give the answer that u want...shm shits me tho...
and managore...y'd u leave ur religious debate? also turn on pm's...thru user cp: options.

 

[Bi0mic]

id prefer projectiles and shm hands down to a harder progression and/or geometric problems ... i also tend to miss the loan repayment ones by 5 or 6 dollars every time :s

 

[sub]

hahaha, loan repayments...hope they skip that topic this year in the hsc...or give u the stuff ur looking for...im hoping for too much aren't i?

 

[Bi0mic]

lol yeh .. unlikely .. i can see it now - q7 loan repayments just my luck

im actually really hopin q7 is like last years ... that naga sea one i tihnk it was and that projectile question was perfect .. besides part (iii) .. but id be willing to sacrifice the 2-3 marks to get a decent result in q7

 

[sub]

hopefully its a q1, stupid little shit like a 1 marker...not much to lose...i suk at them too

 

[smallcattle]

SHM is quite simple i rekon

the hardest for is binomial and probablity, and also application to the physical world

i can never get these...

 

[Bi0mic]

actually yeah harder probability can get _really_ painful

 

[sub]

well all i can say is probability is random....some of it is impossible, the others are a walk in the park....binomials arent too bad...but i HATE binomial probabilty anyways, goodluck tomoro

 

[Managore]

Heh... loan repayments and probability are my favorites, I hate things that don't really make sense, like the equations for SHM and some of the switching between a, v and x.

 

[Managore]

and sub, the religious debate kind of finished itself off anyway

 

[Bi0mic]

i think i find shm easier because you have a definite set of forumlas to use, its really just a matter of application and logical conclusions, where as the trickier probability questions require alot more thinking

 

[mojako]

probability
the name itself implies that theres no certainty in the answer

I dont mind 3U algebra mess

 

[Managore]

mojako: Yeah, there's no certainty, that's why you're finding how probable it is. A topic called certainty would be easy, answer would be 1 every time

 

[smallcattle]

i dont get the logic behind probablity, and also the wording they use confuses the hell out of me

 

[Managore]

Random Fact: The probability of a phone number (8 digits) repeating a number at least once (eg 99871234 has 2 nines) is 0.982

 

[Bi0mic]

*writes answer down and prays Q7b will be this exact problem *

 

[superbird]

how about mathmatical induction of the weird kind :O

 

[Bi0mic]

actually ya ... i did one thismorning involving multiplying top and bottom by (x+1) and then shifting numbers between a "2^n[1x2x3...(n-1)] sort of thing

 

[gerardk]

probability is by far the hardest..binomial prob is easy, SHM are mostly easy. The question 7 i want is the 2002 one, so good
