    General discussion of PDHPE

    I'm aiming for a band 6 in PDHPE since I find the content fairly easy and I plan to study a lot :D We have had one assignment so far which was basically this I thought I went fairly well, 3000 words in total. I'm expecting first or second, didn't put heaps of effort in I guess :P I'm not sure...

    I have done Emily Dickinson's poetry this term as well, even the teacher said the choice of poems was strange :P. Not horrible though.

    Haha, my advanced english class has 7 people. Thats the only advanced english class :P. My speaking part was 13/15 too, a girl got 14/15 but for some reason listening was equally weighted to speaking, I got 13 for listening and she got 9 so it turned out to be useful. I hate trying to make eye...

    Subject advice

    That's what I feared about dropping Ancient History. I may as well keep it since some of it is at least a bit interesting, the extra time would probably end up mostly wasted :P.

    Which points on curve are tangents horizontal?

    Which points on curve are tangents horizontal?

    y=2x^3-9x^2-60x+3 I have to find points where tangents are horizontal. If tangents are horizontal that means the gradient is 0? I'm not sure how to go about this. y'=9x^2-18x-60 is the derivative of the line. Not really sure. Do I sub in x=0? y'=0-0-60 y'=-60 lol, no idea.

    New mouse.

    I'm getting Razer DeathAdder 2013 Edition for christmas. Very simple and good, ~80 dollars, not wireless. Razer Mamba is very similar and wireless, 100-120 for price? Probably don't need Razer for 'casual' gaming though. Just get a cheap logitech or something?

    maths textbooks

    I have maths in focus for 2U and atm I really hate it. They will have 2 examples before an exercise, and sometimes the first question adds another thing that the examples didn't have. Like 2(3x+5) or whatever when the examples explained how to do (3x+5). Sometimes I don't know what to do...

    Yeah, I REALLY hate geometry, which is why I went SO bad in the exam as it had so much geometry in it lol I can look at an equation or whatever and its not too hard to know what to do, but a diagram with different symbols and all of that and I get flustered, just need practice. My teacher...

    is this true because ive heard it from alot of people!

    The problem is, they don't have enough teachers, I'm sure some of you know about the shortage of maths and science teachers. That's why ATAR is like in the seventies. They need more teachers, in an ideal world, only the best can teach, but at the moment, they just need everyone they can get.

    is it true

    Yeah, that doesn't really make sense, at least one does not equal two lol. It means 1 or more. I don't see where this misconception came from.
