Yep, know how to solve it. Funny incident: The Rubik's Cube was my first ever toy. I received it when I was... six? Anyway, never solved the goddamn thing at that time, so I hated toys in all forms for something like three years straight XD

Lol, I was retarded and forgot to use the quadratic formula XD So yeah, use the quadratic formula on 4x2 - 18x + 18. You will find that x = 3 and x = 3/2. So (x - 3)(4x2 - 18x + 18) simplifies down to (x - 3)(x - 3)(x - (3/2)), which is (x - (3/2))(x - 3)2. So you would then solve (x - (3/2))(x...

Yeah, and you keep going until you find a value for x that works. Don't forget that the x value could be a fraction. (ie 1/2.) And I forgot to mention this before, but it's possible for the numerator to be the negative value of a factor. So because 54 has [1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54] as factors...

Ok, factors of 54 are: [1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54]. Factirs of 4 are: [1,2,4]. Let x be a fraction with a factor of 54 as its numerator and a factor of 4 as its denominator. So I'll guess 1 for the numerator and 1 for the denominator, making x = 1. Sub x = 1 into the equation. You will see that x = 1...

I'm assuming you just forgot to add the square after the first (x - 3) after differentiating the whole thing, cos your resulting equation is correct. You can try guessing values for x. Roots of the equation come in the form (Factor of constant) / (Factor of coefficient of leading term). In your...

My true friends from the HSC have stuck together. Funnily enough, it's cos of the very fact that all of us go to different unis that made us hang out more often ^.^

I use the cheapass pens: BiC Cristal XDXDXD Yeah, cos Kilometricos leak, or worse, smudge, for me. Felt tips and gel pens won't work cos they don't cough up ink as fast as I write, lol. So yeah, very happy with my cheapo pens XD

Bump.

Funnily enough, my biggest motivation was the fact that my grandad pass away halfway thru my HSC year. I'm gonna photocopy my HSC cert and put a copy next to his urn when I go back next year. Obv, this isn't the best motivation for everyone >.>;

Re: Do I really need a tutor to get good UAI? There is one major prob I find with people having tutors, that being that they generally are not as independent towards their study as people who don't have tutors. By the time you hit uni, it is generally expected that you're independent in your...

Yeah, my school pushed for thirteen units, (Ten from your subjects, one from compulsory SOR (I) and a two unit subject as backup.) but I dropped from fifteen (XD) to ten by the end of the HSC. You should choose subjects you're confident in and use your time wisely to maximise your performance in...

Yeah, I'll agree that there's a lot more work. Six assess' in a week FTW. Tho it was kinda funny when I look back at it XD Now, to get this thing back on track... I dunno why, but there's a minority out there who think that they can't do well in the HSC cos they did bad in the SC. TBH, I...

But uni's fun and the HSC wasn't. Well... Not that the HSC was boring either, but... Do I make sense? XP

I felt relieved when I dropped Engineering Studies, but kinda sad when I dropped Jap Beginners. (Both at the end of prelim.) Engineering Studies... Well... I honestly had no idea I'd be doing an eng bachelor in uni. Add that to the fact that I paid zero attention in class, too many people doing...

Q4E. I've seen so many people cringe at 4U Maths, it's not funny. Worse, they do it for the scaling, then whine about how hard the course is, when they know that they do no work. It is foolish to do 4U Maths and hope that mere scaling will pull you thru. You're much better off doing a lower...

Hi all. My name's Robin and I'm offering tuition for 2U and 3U Maths. I graduated in 2007 with a UAI of 93.2 and just finished the first year of my Mechanical Engineering/Science degree, so I'm doing uni level maths and science right now. HSC Marks: Advanced English: 76 3U Maths: 93 4U Maths...

Lol, yeah. I've played it with my friends at net cafes occasionally, but never figured out what was so fun about it XP Geez, guys, you're doing your body harm, both physically and emotionally, by doing nothing but study :\

To be perfectly honest, none of them IMO >.>; Granted, there are some good teachers. But the bad heavily outweigh the good.

I haven't gone back to my school since my last HSC exam. I'm planning to go back sometime soon, now that holis have started for me. I wonder if the deputy will kick me out for having a ponytail... XD

I know I sacrificed my YR11 holis when I did my HSC, not that I was planning to do anything worthwhile anyway XD And yeah, physical activities do help. You guys shouldn't shove books in your face twenty four, seven XP
