    Do you like maths?

    I'd argue the exact same thing with an english text. I read John Donne's 'The Flea' and the teacher kindly told me "you're missing the point". It wasn't a simple misunderstanding, it was the fact that I could not understand the language due to it's expression.

    Maths is logical, fact-based, methodical, memory-based (sometimes) and there is no fluff *cough* english *cough*. End of discussion. P.S Checks poll. 3/4 of those surveyed like the subject. :)

    Parallel Tangents of Cubic Graph

    Since the equation of the first one is y = 10x+60 the gradient of the parallel tangent will be the same, that is m = 10.

    Extension One Revising Game

    1) Find the point which divides the line joining (4,8) and (12,6) externally in the ratio 4:1. 2) Solve for x: 4/(x+6) > 1. 3) Find the remainder when f(x) is divided by g(x), given f(x) = x2-3x+6 and g(x) = x-2. 4) Find the exact value of cos75o. 5) Find the acute angle between the...
