    like passionxmusic said, join as many as you like! Just make sure you get an access card first before joining and you can join any club/society at any time during the year:) there's no limit to how many people there should be in a society, and from personal experience, for some societies I...

    Veterinary Science USYD

    You don't have to get the cut off atar if you are considered for rural entry scheme (or maybe flexible entry), my friend who is doing vet science told me that there was someone who got 86ish or something and still got into vet science since they were considered for rural entry scheme. If you...

    What is B Science like? Should I do B Science?

    In B.Science, you can either choose fundamental or regular or advanced mathematics subjects. So if you want to choose advanced mathematics just like students in B.Science(Advanced Mathematics) then go for it! You're just required to have done 4 U Maths for your HSC. If you plan to stay in...

    What is B Science like? Should I do B Science?

    hi there:) Doing B Science and majoring in mathematics is a good idea if you don't think you can reach the ATAR required for B Science (Advanced Mathematics). So basically do the same subjects as the people in B. Science(Advanced Mathematics) if you want to major in mathematics, the only...

    Distinctively Visual Related Texts

    haha i did that text for my HSC, my related text was The Arrival by Shaun Tan (you could kill 2 birds with one stone and use it for belonging as well if you want) but anything visual like pictures or maybe even written text (such as poems) which help visualise certain images.

    Intergration help!

    $I looked up the paper online and looked at the question and solution. The reason why they made $\frac{lnx}{x^2}=-\left(\frac{1-lnx-1}{x^2}\right) $is that they are using a little manipulation so we can make the integral contain the answer from (i). Now we can replace the expression inside the...

    Maths Help Polynomials

    I actually do it similar to your method (personally i think it is much faster), but i'm assuming that he does it like maths in focus way for school so yeh :/ choose the way which is most suitable for you :)

    Maths Help Polynomials

    $So for part (i), can you see that we can factorise $-x^2 $ out for each of terms? Hence:$\\\\P(x)=-x^4+2x^3+3x^2\\\\=-x^2(x^2-2x-3)\\\\$Factorise even further and we get:$\\\\P(x)=-x^2(x-3)(x+1)\\\\$Now for part (ii), we know what the x-intercepts are if we let $P(x)=0$ so the x-intercepts are...

    Glee

    don't like blaine's gel hair, i would prefer him to let out those natural curls, but I guess that's just part of his character :/ in terms of cockiness, i don't think he's that cocky but he does pass off as confident (especially in season 2) but that's because he uses that to cover up all his...

    Science without maths </3

    as long as you know how to do calculations in chem (especially) then it is fine to drop maths if you truly hate it and not good at it. However, if you're planning to do med/dietetics you can't escape doing maths in 1st year just so you know (but i guess you can get away with doing a bridging...

    Find the equation of the curve...

    {f}''(x)=12x+18\\\\$Integrate both sides$:\\\\f'(x)=\frac{12x^2}{2}+18x+c_1\\\\= 6x^2 +18x+c_1\\\\$We know that $(2, -8)$ is a stationary point and stationary points occur at $f'(x)=0 $ so:$\\\\0 = 6(2)^2+18(2)+c_1\\\\c_1=-60\\\\\therefore f'(x)=6x^2+18x-60\\\\$Integrate both sides...
