    Subject help

    But you should also consider that generally, students in standard didn't perform as well as students that chose advanced in the first place, hence the lower percent of band 6 students. Even after scaling, the difference is marginal. The workload between the two doesn't change very much either...

    Swapping Subjects?

    My school didn't want people swapping subjects on a whim so they made a 3 week trial period and you could swap after that within a span of 2 weeks.

    Learning to Math with LaTeX

    How can I do dy/dx or integral signs for BOS LaTeX? Is it dy/dx ? How do i make it look "normal"?

    Learning to Math with LaTeX

    I'm learning to use LaTeX through MiKTeX and TeXMaker and can type most of the things I need but I want to be able to type on here using LaTeX for math stuff, it makes things easier to see and recommended by the forum. The text appears fine on the pdf preview but how can I copy and paste it over...

    integration help

    Also "has a stationary point at (2,6)" implies that at x=2, y'=0 and at x=2, y=6

    integration help

    For b) f''(x)=x f'(x)=x^2/2+c1 Since f'(2)=1 1=(2)^2/2+c1 c1=-1 f'(x)=x^2/2-1 f(x)=x^3/6-x+c2 Since f(3)=0 0=(3)^3/6-(3)+c2 c2=-3/2 Therefore f(x)=x^3/6-x-3/2

    integration help

    For a) d^2y/d^2x = 6x+4 dy/dx = 3x^2+4x+c1 Since dy/dx=8 when x=1 8 = 3(1)^2+4(1)+c1 c1 = -5 dy/dx = 3x^2+4x-5 y = x^3+2x^2-5x+c2 Since y=2 when x=1 2 = (1)^3+2(1)^2-5(1)+c2 c2 = 4 Therefore y = x^3+2x^2-5x+4

    What the f is Crossroads?

    The same thing happened with my school as Frostguard, both choosing to go camp or not go resulted in the "mandatory" completion of the booklet. The camp mostly aims to bring the grade "closer" together so those who didn't go had their booklets checked more rigorously while those who went just...

    4U Math, Tutoring and Stress

    How feasible is it to do 4U math without tutoring? In addition, how high will I have to score in order for me to scale higher than a 100 in 2U? I'm debating between dropping it or keeping it, I could continue with 4U and drop at the very last second because our school requires us to do all the...

    Economics vs Biology???

    Economics has WAY better scaling and its probably more interesting to learn about how money flows around the world than dissect a frog liver. I'm probably biased because I puked after our class had to dissect a frog. You should also consider than economics has a few problems that require a...

    Studying or "Winging" an Essay

    Where can I find the rubric, I've only been able to find the syllabus and overview, if possible could I get a link?

    Studying or "Winging" an Essay

    I've come to notice that there are two main methods to prepare for an essay exam; Pre-prepared essays and "winging" it In most of our lives, teachers have encouraged us to make notes, remember quotes, techniques and main ideas then answering a question in the form of an essay. This method of...

    Physics or Eco

    I do both Economics and Physics. Both Economics and Physics and high scaling and both teach interesting concepts in their own regard. When I started Physics in Year 11, I was stuck with doing these basic distance, displacement and vector stuff and was really boring and basic, especially since...

    Is NGO and Sons good?

    I've been to Ngo and Sons a few years back and the teachers are very good but they have a somewhat strict etiquette where you need to bow at the reception and classroom before and after you leave. To be honest the test was pretty easy, I'm not sure what the success rate was but after the test...

    Could someone define all the types of discovery for me?

    Also, these kinds of questions are answered in your rubric and you should really make an effort to go over your rubric again and again, I cannot emphasise how imperative it is to do so, you could have looked over it in previous high school years but even more so now. Key words and ideas are...

    Could someone define all the types of discovery for me?

    There's pretty much no real end to what kinds of discoveries one can have but a few others are personal discovery (a big one, kinda a sub category) or self-discovery, there's also social discovery and familial discovery to name a few. The definitions of these discoveries really are just self...

    Ext 1 and Ext 2 Math tips

    If you haven't already been doing so, past papers are pretty much the only thing you can do to improve after doing textbook work and skimming over concepts and formulas. Even if you really do have teachers who don't teach well, most of math relies on you alone to work through a textbook and...

    Physics Help

    Sorry, can't help, spent good 10 minutes and can't wrap my head around this either. Btw, we have the EXACT same subjects, good luck.

    Physics Help

    You use Kepler's constant, the information about Uranus is unnecessary. R3/T2=GM/4pi2 You are given the radius, time and you already know the Universal Gravitational constant (6.67x10-11), sub in these values and rearrange the equation to get the mass. I hope this helps
