thats one i havent heard for awhile... (2n-4)*90 (sum of interior angles or an n sided shape)
Hey DeanM the rule for interior angles is (n-2) * 180!!!

Should memorise that one as easier i believe :p

word. said:
remember:-

1. "ratio of intercepts on transversals passing parallel lines are equal"

2. volume of cone = 1/3 pi r2 h

3. add interest before subtracting the monthly/yearly payment in loan repayments

4. similar triangles are your friends

5. know your graphs of secx cotx and cosecx or how to work them out at least

this was really important in the 99 and 00 paper...thought it was wierd...i had no idea wat transversals were...but i know the better now :D

Ive studied like a bitch and tried to completely understand loan repyayments but i just cant get them. Ill prob get it if its a straight forward one but a really hard loan repayment one will get past me (eg the 2000 one) i wouldnt get that for my life. A hard probability one also scares me. I hate it wen u get marked on ur tree or whatever diagram coz thats not how i work it out.

does anyone know if we are allowed to use pencil ?? cause on all the tests it tell us to use 'black or blue pen' .. but teachers at my school have always stressed to use pencil when drawing a diagram.. does anyone know ?

you can draw diagrams in pen. No biggie. just that if you make a mistake somewhere towards the end it gets messy.

I find Geometry + Trig combo-ed questions are tough...
Probability is ok, some of the series questions are sketchy, but the worst one is:
The quadratic polynomial + the parabola!

y² = 4ax
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² etc etc *shudders at the word latus rectum*

i have been

its just the basic stuff is fine with me, but when it gets complicated i get scared.

oh and the whole compound interest questions and all that? *shudder*

im horrifically bad at math though, if i get higher than a 60 for the whole course i will be ecstatic

I'm confused between the stuff I have to know for 2U and what I have to know for 3U...

anyone willing to list the major difference in formulas....



as for logs its easy

abc - bac
loga b=c
b=ac

change of base

logold base x = ln x/ln oldbase
