look i understand this but personally my atar requirement isn't an issue in the slightest and i couldn't care less about maximizing my atar, if i did i would have at least prepared a related text for english. i care more about doing well in the subjects i enjoy the most, which happens to be 4U...
this happened to me for a while. in the end i used a totally different method.
since a<c, a^2 < c^2
therefore 5a^2 + 3b^2 + c^2
< 3a^2 + 3b^2 + 3c^2
< 3((a+b+c)^2 - 2(ab+bc+ca)
< 3(a+b+c)^2 (since a, b, c > 0)
< 3
< 1
is this valid?
don't think i really need them now, just curious about his soln. to circle geo.
i'm down to 94/100 :/ so many silly mistakes. and a 2 mark reading error
