    Another priest molestation scandal...

    Does God exist?

    Well, as far as I am concerned the evidence for the existence of a christian god is as strong as the evidence for the existence of Odin. With that said I plan to live my life as an Athiest because the "godless" universe is the one that I have experienced and until I experience anything else that...

    Another priest molestation scandal...

    So what I am curious about is whether Priests ever molest adults, or attempt to seduce them. This could shed some light on whether the desire stems from a repressed sexuality or something else. If adults aren't molested or abused then I really think that the religious institutions are...

    Re: 2012 HSC MX2 Marathon Okay. Question 1: The ellipse (x^2)/2 +y^2 = 1 is intercepted at two distinct points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) by the line y=mx+3. Show that points x1 and x2 are the solutions to the equation (1+2m^2)x^2 +12mx +16 =0 Question 2: Find the values of m for which x1 and x2...

    Q, help

    Im not sure, the typical way is seemingly drawn out. I think there must be a easier way but i cant quite think of it, other than finding the equations of RS and QS' and subbing in the given x value of k to see you if get the given y value.

    Conics question help please ?

    By the way you phrased the question, i think it sounds like R and M are the same point. Is the Question right?

    Question on Prime Numbers

    Prime numbers have to be greater than 1. So i think the answer is n=-1 and -3. The sign on n is not important to determine whether q(n) is prime. Just as P(x)=3+x is prime for x=-1 even though -1 is negative.
