The further and further I get into medicine; the slower and slower I'm getting at Maths. It took me a good 30 seconds before I spotted the substitution there. T_T


Haha, a medic doesn't really need trig :tongue: :yy:

Did you get any solutions?:wink:

But the A2 version of that is just as easy... All it is is a different set of identities...

1 + tan^2(x) = sec^2(x)
1 + cot^2(x) = cosec^2(x)

Yes, buddy. I'm well aware. I was talking about the basic skill of solving trigonometric equations. :tongue:

I've already forgotten much of AH vectors and matrices. But then again, I don't think I bothered to learn that stuff in the first place. :lol:
Just to say, people who're leaving TSR for a bit because they want to revise - I've found a cool solution!

You can download an extension for Google Chrome called StayFocused, which let's you block websites for certain time periods. This article has more on it.

So yeah, give it a go - it's really clever! :smile:

Vectors and Matrices are absolute buggers :rofl:

Hey! Welcome! :tsr: :party:

I'll subject you to the usual interrogation :tongue:

GCSEs (predicted grades if you really want)

A Level Options (or IB :eviltongue:)

Or generally about yourself :biggrin:

Enjoy your stay ^_^

Edit: On another note, my holidays finish today :sadnod: how about yours? :smile: done any revision?:naughty:

Hi :smile:
I'm doing all the compulsive subjects plus geography and economics :smile:
what's IB? I'm doing Maths, Economics, Physics and Geography next year.

A bit about myself: I like economics :tongue:

Done a lot of revision so far :frown: stuck on a Maths question atm

Compulsive?:tongue:

Aah, those are great! I love those! :biggrin: I wish I could have done economics :frown:

IB is the International Baccalaureate, it's basically an a level equivalent mainly.offered abroad and in public schools :smile:

Brilliant choices! Economics... We have a user here who is an econ fan! Aurorae! (I spelt it wrong oops)

Aah, I can help, what's the question?:smile:

I don't know how to upload so I'll type it out:
x=7*10^m and y=5*10^n, m and n are integers
given that xy=3.5*10^12, show that m+n = 11

You can use latex :smile: I'll type it up for you now:

x=7×10mx = 7 \times 10^{m}
y=5×10ny = 5 \times 10^{n}
xy=72×1012xy = \frac{7}{2} \times 10^{12} (1)

So multiply them ans you get:

xy=35×10m+nxy = 35 \times 10^{m+n} (2)

Now you have xy in another form.

35×10m+n=3.5×101235 \times 10^{m+n} = 3.5 \times 10^{12}

You can see that (2) is 10 times bigger than (1).

So what would m+n have to be?
Does that help?:smile:

yeah that's what I mean .. I forgot which was which sorry :L


Lots of people forget about Northern Ireland, even though there was a big thing about it after Team GB at the Olympics. That's fine, now you should always remember!
