    2 questions: poly, then other

    Ok; 1) (not gonna show working) Method: expansion, equating like terms, simultaneous eqn Answer: A= 28/15 B= 17/15 C= -22/15 Thats wat i got newaz... 2)hmm... I cant read the subscripts but this certainly looks like induction starting with n=1 works...

    The Bible

    ok, to be honest I didnt read the last 15 pages, so please dont get mad if these contradictions have already been mentioned, however, first I have a few questions? 1) Should Christians ignore the Old Testament? because it seems to me like that most of them just pick convenient bits to follow...

    English Ext 1 - Worth Doing?

    YES! Do it~ because in prelim, 1) marks dont matter- and it is a fun course 2) You will get overlap with 2 unit- ESPECIALLY in yr 12 (hello values) 3) If you do ee1 you can do ee2- and then you dont NEED advanced as such

    Critical Essay Help.

    Hey, I'm a little confused by 'critical essay', it's a bit broad, does the teacher want a critical essay analysing a text or just a literary critical essay? Anyways here are a few of my favourites: After the Lost Generation; a critical study of the writers of two wars- John Aldridge Reading...

    THE RELATIVITY OF SIMULTANEITY:- Help me physics nerds

    That does make sense, thanks :). My reference to the doors as observers makes sense too, because they observe a stimulus. I think my problem was that I wasn't distinguishing between the door's role as observers/reactors (if that makes sense?)

    THE RELATIVITY OF SIMULTANEITY:- Help me physics nerds

    hmmm, I can see what your saying and I aggree, it seems that the doors are observers yes. But, einstein reckoned they did, I'm really just assuming that part about the difference in observation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity And this leads me to the conclusion that...

    THE RELATIVITY OF SIMULTANEITY:- Help me physics nerds

    Q: "why would the doors be opening?" A: "according to that observer (the one on the inside) the light flashes will reach the front and back of the train at precisely the same instant of time — simultaneously." " My Question: If the doors ONLY open if the light strikes them...

    THE RELATIVITY OF SIMULTANEITY:- Help me physics nerds

    ok, this is a question i posed in class and my teacher, didnt know. This is a standard model: A flash of light is given off at the center of the train just when the two observers pass each other. The observer on the train sees the front and back of the train at fixed distances away from the...

    Proposal: "Annotated Bibliography" vs "Resources"?

    I've read the post by jhakka and glitterfairy (*THANKYOU-so very much*) but I have a few questions to anyone about this section: 1. Should I be incorporating quotes from my research into my proposal? (as to have footnotes)- I mean in my current draft I havent but I could go out of my way to...

    Should eng. be a manditory subject?

    Ok, here's my 2 cents: I'm a 4u Student, and I think one problem pointed out earlier is that when you do ext. 1, especially value analysis and genre theory type things it tends to invalidate a lot of what you do in eng. advanced and makes you feel like what your saying is complete crap unless...

    The Stress is Overrated

    I think, generally, if you looked at average hours spent studying and the intensity of study programs:- alternativley at almost ANY of the international students at my school (korean, chinese etc...) you would see that these people arent all some kind of geniuses. their education system just, as...

    The Stress is Overrated

    Ok, firstly, I'm just trying to say that humanities tend to be more based on work, so I'm saying that more people could get a 90+ with humanities. I accept that people cannot all get the same results with the same ammount of work. I suppose that we have reached an impasse because basically I'm...

    The Road Not Taken:- Good Related Material

    Ok, i was just wondering what some good related texts are for The Road Not Taken; I'm doing physical journeys and so far i dont really have very much- i am thinking of doing the matrix (as per the old thread by this name:- yes i found it on search) any new imput on an old topic? Thanks in advance.

    The Stress is Overrated

    Ok, I'm sorry if I upset you. But let me say this: while it is true that I dont know your situation, you dont know that because you dont my situation either. All either of us can do is relate each other's apparent situations to people we have seen/known. The syllabus is based more on "academic...
