    Integration Question

    Well, you can split the integral to f(x-3) and 2. We know that the integral from 3 to 7 of f(x-3) equals the integral of f(x) from 0 to which equals 6. The integral of 2 from 3 to 7 is 2(7)-2(3)=8. Sum the two and you get 14. This might be hard to visualise- I can latex it later if no one does...

    Integration help againn

    Integration finds the 'positive' area under a curve- essentially the area above the x axis minus the area below the x axis. This is why when you integrated from -1 to 1, you got 0 because the two areas exactly cancelled out. Between -1 and 0, the curve is below the x axis so the integral will...

    The Effects of Rankings

    NO. I'll try and explain something about school ranks. Currently I go to Sydney Tech. If I was to top chem at tech, chances are I'd end up with a HSC mark of around 96. Someone topping chem at a school in the 200's might not even get a B6 (though they could, we never know). The point is, the...

    What are the benefits of going to a selective school

    Just a potential disadvantage of selectives for a sense of balance- a lot of people that are actually quite smart (like would come close to topping their local schools) get smashed at selective schools in terms of rank. Now this depends on what sort of person you are but some people get...
