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?

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?

Sorry for the double posting... But the answer in my book gives 2.16... Eeep.

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

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!

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...

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)...

Thanks everyone, new question now though.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

I found the exam rather enjoyable. Although I'm quite sure I didn't do enough study which resulted in me recieving only a 78%. I can't be bothered pulling up my marks for each section right now...
