    Intergration

    Thanks Iruka. It just that I am worried, that using a sharp calculator will give me a slight disadvantage or something. I know such novelties shouldnt even be considered at my level but...

    Desperatly Worried - Should I change schools now?

    This year truly really dosent count at all. If you want a higher UAI, get all 90s in your subjects next year. Without doubt, you will certainly get your wanted UAI.

    Trail Examinations

    I did say theres a fair few on the resource section of BOS, but not as numerous as the math ones etc. But i did do alot of them. I just want to know if there were any present on say other sites.

    Intergration

    Do you know why that happens? Is the casio calculators better?

    Intergration

    It does seem you can take the cube root of a negative... But my calculator somehow, when I entered the -8^(5/3) gave me an error... Any1 have any ideas about that? Is it because im using a sharp?

    \int_{-8}^{8} x^(2/3) dx How is the value of -8^(5/3)/5 found?

    Trail Examinations

    I have been searching through the resource sections of BOS, and have found very little trail examinations for the AOS of journeys, since as i am doing the prelim course. Can someone inform me where I can get such resources (free) from?

    dispersions forces =S

    Yep. Dipole - Dipole is completely different from dispersion forces. A polar molecule is formed when there is an PERMANENT uneven distribution of charges within a molecule. When this polar molecule forms a bond with another polar molecule, by definition, a dipole-dipole bond is formed. I.e...

    standard scaling is higher than advanced?

    I thought it was because the band 6 cut off for Standard was way higher than the mark achievable by the students? Can I also just ask, what is actually a band 6?

    STAT - Extra ATAR POints

    I have recently heard a rumour that doing the STAT test and getting a extremely well mark will earn one some extra atar points. Is that true?

    Does God exist?

    Whilst we're on the topic of the Big Bang. I just want to point out that this theory, is not solid. I.e. the expansion of the universe 500 light years at t=1 second when nothing can travel past the speed of light.

    Does God exist?

    Can I just ask Cookie, why is it assumed that all humans begun in the state of non-belief? I am curious of how you intepreted this? As this definition of belief vs non-belief, is biased. It is not physical, for example the colour of one's skin, but taught. This concept of belief vs non-belief is...

    Absolute Graphing

    I see. Thanks very much. EDIT: When testing, i had used the second derivate method. When derived, the absolute x became a zero. This still allowed the point to be a maxima. When I used the table however, it showed that indeed x=-1 was indeed not a turning point. Any comments?

    Absolute Graphing

    The Graphing of an absolute function has made me extremely curious. y= |x| + 1/x When finding the turning points, dy/dx = 0 gives x = 1 or -1 Using the second derivative, at x=1, a min t.p exist. At x=-1, a max exist. However, when graphing, and observing the graph, the max at x=-1 does...

    is there anyone else who took year 11 too seriously??

    Well, Id guess we all have to learn to change someday. One's adolescence is a period of exponential persoanl growth, in both mind body and soul. It is a great sign, to recognise one's foibles. It's symbolic for the personal becoming, of change going to occur. I belive for you, that God...

    Cadbury goes fairtrade

    Id think youd be farily suprised about the amount of people out there that just dosent give a dam. However that being said, this is certainly a triumph in human rights.

    is there anyone else who took year 11 too seriously??

    Well I trying hard in year 11 perhaps isnt that much of a bad thing. It is rather a experience, of pre-HSC expansion and growth of the mind. I mean, obviously we'll all go the extra mile in year 12, but going to university will require hardwork. So will getting a job etc etc... Anywaz, who...

    How do you go to the GP and pay without parents finding out?

    Much like the above has said. If a Bulk-billing GP is avaliable, and they certainly are across the wide spectrum that is Sydney, then walk in with "the" medicare card and wait for 3 hours to see the doctor. Otherwise, if one vists emergency at a hospital, you can also see a doctor. If the...
