Exam Prep
The point of reading time
The first recorded maths mistake happened this long ago
Mr Ellem's specialty
What is Physics
The gradient of a function
What is, the derivative of the function
The best subject that everyone should take
What is Physics
The time and date of the first Methods Exam
The following is true in this situation:
loge(a+b+c) = loge(a)+loge(b)+loge(c)
a=1, b=2, c=3
The number of different coloured shirts Mr Ellem wears
What is four (Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Purple)
The area under the standard normal distribution
The most important emotion
What is Love (baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more *reference*) (or curiosity, that's my personal favourite since it leads to great things)
The time it should take for you to find anything in your summary book
What is 5 seconds
If this was done every second since the beginning of the universe (13.8 billion years), the expected number of the same specific outcome occurring in that time is 5.4 x 10-51
What is, shuffling a deck of cards
The greatest enemy of Mr Ellem
what is, everyone (or willful ignorance, but that's boring)
A binomial distribution's two unique requirements
What is, a sequence of Bernoulli Trials, and the probability for success for all trials is the same.
This is not an opinion, it is fact
The recommended study loop for practicing exams
What is, attempt exam in comparable conditions, check answers, read examiner's comments, check with teacher for clarity, repeat
The volume of Australian currency notes can be plotted using this function (values of constants and coefficients not needed)
what is, Volume = alog2(value)+b, where 'a' and 'b' are real numbers (for those interested, a = 89.99, and b=856.09 and the volume is in mm3)
Mr Ellem's greatest weakness
What is, remembering important things
The conditions needed for two functions, f(x) and g(x) to join smoothly.
What is, f(a) = g(a), where 'a' is the x-value they join at, and f'(a) = g'(a)
The most boring sport in the world
What is, test cricket
The mathematically best strategy for attempting exam questions
What is, complete short answer from easiest to hardest, then multiple choice at the end.
The reason the year 2000 had 366 days
what is, the year was a multiple of 400 (exact rules: a leap year occurs every 4 years, except every 100 years unless it is a multiple of 400, so, the year 1900 had 365 days, not 366 according to the Gregorian Calendar)
Mr Ellem's favourite author that no one ever asks about (I mean seriously, all you ask about are movies, anime, tv, or sports)
What is the Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson (seriously, it's part of the greatest fantasy/sci-fi serious of the modern age, and the best exploration of characters with mental health issues that I've ever read (coming from someone with mental health issues, that's seriously high praise), you should all read it)
The derivative of the integral of the integral of the derivative of f(x)
