By this time in the year, you should know what the graph of

is it possible to get a band 5/6 if you fail everything but do well in trials and the hsc?

Absolutely! You can read the specifics here, but the HSC exam is really the thing you want to do well in. A super strong performance there can largely make up for less than ideal results earlier in the year.

Like, to go from failing your exams to getting a Band 5/6 is a big jump, and you'd need to put in an insane amount of work. But it is definitely possible :)

Hello! Trials is going to get me k i l l e d. I'm absolutely stuck when it comes to Simpson's and Trapezoidal rule for more than one application. I just cannot get my head around it. Can someone give me a thorough answer for Q12 d) i. 2012 HSC please? Thank you!

well h = 3 as the interval lengths are 3.
then you have 1(0.5) + 4(2.3) + 2(2.9) + 4(3.8) + 1(2.1)

so
A ~ 3/3 [1(0.5) + 4(2.3) + 2(2.9) + 4(3.8) + 1(2.1)]
= 32.8m2

Hello!
Could I have help with this probability question please and show me how it would be done?

Two musicians are selected at random to lead their band. One person is chosen from Band A, which has 8 females and 7 males, and the other is chosen from band B, which has 6 females and 9 males. Find the probability of choosing 1 female and 1 male?

thx

is there any other information from that question?
I don't think you can solve that without other information

oh wait i just realised how stupid i am
*smacks face*
so R is the rate of change, or dy/dx
d/dx(e^4x) = 4e^4x
you notice that e^4x is equal to y, as given in y=e^4x
you substitute that back into the derivative of the function
giving R=4y

Well from what you have given, I'd say it was using antiderivative?

Hey! Like this:



This is just using the rule on your reference sheet for integrating exponentials! :)
