    creative writing

    As I have found, creative writing is very difficult. So make sure you edit and refine heaps. As for the thread topic, it will specify on the exam paper what text type to write in. Sometimes they have given the students a choice by using 'imaginative response' while at other time being more...

    Mathematics Marathon

    Hmm... Not sure how to prove it. They are both positive definite concave parabolas going off to infinity (and without any points of discontinuity) so it must conclude that they touch/cross at least once. Domain is all real x for each one and range is y > 11.5 for (1) and y > 2 for (2)...

    New question: If there are 100,000 people doing the HSC in the year 2100 and you achieve a UAI of 95 which places you in the top 8% of those completing the HSC, how many people dropped out in year 10? I hope that makes sense and isn't flawed.
