    BCS theory

    Meh, quite a bit of what we've learnt in this course is just simplified versions of the real thing. BUt are you really that suprised, just look back at the atomic model they were teaching is in Year 7 science. Just refer to tommykins first post and accept it for tomorrow's exam. Then, if you...

    Not to be an ass or anything, but isn't that assumed with monthly repayments?

    Logarithms...

    Hmmm, I'm just trying to figure out what you're reffering to. So you're making a complete box from zero to ln4 across to x=4, then removing the unneeded parts?

    Haha, yeah that makes sense. I guess just seeing it as something different freaked me out. Thankyou once again =D

    Loan repayments!

    Haha, seems they're right... I'll try it without terminating the decimal. Yeah, that was the problem, use the repeating decimal and it comes out fine. It's a bitch to put into a calculator though... grrr!

    Logarithms...

    Oh, so I just had to sub the x-values into the equations? Gawd... I feel so stupid now. Haha, and to think, my friend doing 4-Unit Mathematics couldn't even figure it out...

    Loan repayments!

    Yeah... how do you get that? As the loan will be repayed after 25 years. 0 = 50 000(1.016^300) - M(1.0116^299 + 1.0116^288 + ... + 1.0116^1 +1) Thus, 50 000(1.016^300) = M(1.0116^299 + 1.0116^288 + ... + 1.0116^1 +1) Thus, M = 50 000(1.016^300) / (1.016^299 + 1.0116^288 + ... + 1.016^1 +1)...

    Logarithms...

    NEW QUESTION! This question is taken from Maths in Focus 2. a) Use Simpson's Rule with three function values to find the area bounded by the curve y = ln x, the x-axis and the lines x = 2 and x = 4. b) Change the sucject of y = ln x to x. c) Hence find the exact area in part (a) Okay, so I'm...

    Describing the Structure of Cellulose?

    Yeah, that's pretty much all I could find on it, and it is pretty basic at that (no offence). I was just thinking it could be shown in a drawing of a diagram just as easily as describing in words. But your initial response makes sense, since it does require us to describe the structure, it's...

    Describing the Structure of Cellulose?

    With a drawing of it suffice? Or must I go into writing? Specifically looking at dot point 2.2.4 I think, where part of it asks to describe the structure of cellulose.

    essay on xerxes

    Hmmm, but you must also question whether the second Persio-Greek wars were indeed a failure for Xerxes? You could argue that one of the main reasons behind the attack were the burning of the temples of Sardis where Xerxes vowed to raze Athens to the ground, and he was succesful at that...

    Xerxes AFTER the greek wars?

    My studies of Xerxes after the Greek Wars revolve around how the archaeological evidence blatantly contradicts what Greek Writers would have us believe that after Plataea the Persians were a crushed empire. His building program in Persepolis, religious reforms, as well as the harem intrigues...

    CSSA Ancient History Trial

    Currently writing an essay on the development of the Athenian Empire, and there are a few things that I'm getting confused about. The main thing is finding the difference between the Hellenic and Delian leagues, as I really can;t see how they differ. Also and info regarding the contributions of...

    Strong/Weak acid

    Hmmm, my understanding is that both weak and strong acids ionise in solution, it's just that strong acids ionise more completely. As for the hydrogen and hydronium ions. Acids ionise to make hydrogen ions (or protons) which can then bond with water molecules to make hydronium ions.

    Archaeological sources for Views of Sparta???

    My current assignment calls for me to research the Greek writers' views on Sparta, and produce a 6 minute speech on it. Oddly it requires me to also include a variety of sources, some of them been archaeological. Anyone have any suggestions as I'm really stuck for ideas...
