for the wine glass question with the related rates, it says 6cm from the top of the wine glass.
doesnt that make it 14 cm for y? (the total height of the glass is 20 cm)
because you cant have negative values for y as the glass is being filled?
Does not matter about negative or positive values of y. All you need to do is find the respective x value for when the depth of the wine is 6 cm from the top. That occurs when y = 4.

Hey Q13, it says 'concentration'. Your answer holds for amount, does it hold for concentration?
This is one I think I got wrong, I put C, but /0 and a few others at my school put A and they had a reasonable explanation for it. I'll get /0 to explain soon...

Uh i think if you do Q is the amount of salt in kg then

for 2d, since its the complex plane and it asks for points ("in cartesian form"), not coordinates, it might be asking for the actual complex numbers?

just a thought idk, i put both ways in my answer
biology [38], specialist [39], methods [43], english [38], physics [42], philosophy [33]
