    should i drop?

    i cant think of how PD would help in business at uni. then again BIO wouldn't help in business at uni also. so from that i'd gather that whatever one of the two you choose will simply be a subject to get as big a UAI from as possible. and id say BIO would be the one which delivers more so...

    should i drop?

    PD gets hammered in the scaling (according to my dad who's a teacher, but he is a history teacher therefore biased). it really all depends on what you want post HSC, i know personally i'm gonna keep 12 units through yr12 incase i bomb out on a course.

    Infinite Geometric Series Help!

    oh ok. my brain just clicked. the sum of the terms 5 to 8 = r^4 x S4 I'VE GOT IT!!! thank you very much for your patience and help. if you need any help with music or economics gimme a buzz [the only 2 subjects i consider myself worthy of giving internet advice on]

    Infinite Geometric Series Help!

    dam, im still not getting it. i've got to... (r^4)(S4)=16(S4) r^4 = 16 r = +-2 but what im having trouble with is how i/you got (r^4)(S4)=16(S4) more precisely - the (r^4)(S4) part. perhaps if you wrote it out as you would in an exam?

    Infinite Geometric Series Help!

    S8 - S4 = 17S4 - S4 = 16S4 = 16[a(1-r^4)/(1-r)] am i on the right track?

    Infinite Geometric Series Help!

    how did you arrive at "terms 5-8 are 16 times larger than terms 1-4, and also r^4 times larger"

    Infinite Geometric Series Help!

    ah ok. thanks for the help. much appreciated. last question then im on to breeze through probability. the sum of the first 8 terms is 17 times the sum of its first 4 terms. find r. S8 = 17(S4)=17 [a(1-r^4)/(1-r)]

    allegory

    i like the child's playground idea. make george bush that "nelson munts" character, but more popular and seemingly good from his peers perspective. make sadam hussain and co. the kids who play in the sand pit. then they find, i dunno, old footy cards in the sandbox or sumin, so george...
