Well, it doesn't have to be there I guess. It just makes them all line up better, and makes it more systematic for me? I tried it without but I got confused :confused: If you can do it without the 0x then maybe that's better?

It depends on what you value more. If it's personal mastery, then marks are more important. If it's getting a good UAI, ranks are more important...

Well, of course the graph was meant to be slightly curvy...it's based on a parabola, not straight lines! The actual "corner" looks pretty sharp to me, anyway. I would have given you the mark (although if I'd been feeling mean I might have taken it away again for not having the other bit of...

Well, he said he believed in karma. I was just making sure it came back to him :shy:

oh, thanks Boxxxhead and Without Wings...

Slightly random, but when they're calculating your UAI/whatever, do they take into account how much you beat everyone by? As in, is it better UAI-wise to come first by 10 marks instead of 1?

okay...I had no idea there was even such a thing as division of polynomials, but I just taught myself the basics so I could help a very helpful BOS member...sorry if this is wrong! :D okay. these are the steps (I'll do it with an example): dammit, I have no idea how to format this, pen...

bored of sc - now *that* was dedication...:rolleyes:

The most interesting subject is Chocolate Studies. grr...mum is organising my sister's hockey team's chocolate drive...the dining room is piled with chocolate...AND I CAN'T EAT ANY OF IT!! dammit.

Wow, that's really cool. We just have a whole load of "Prefects"...no cool titles :( What does Captain of the Boats do? It sounds awfully ceremonial, but cool :D good luck in your prefect quest, anyway :o

Oh! Chemistry! It's just so...well...fundamental, it's the study of stuff at the most basic level, and it explains so much, and you can make so many links between an area of chemistry and other areas and other subjects and everything, and it's got the whole history thing going too, and also you...

:D Go Queensland.

Adding to this - I did this once to memorise an essay in year 8 and still remember it to this very day - try doing this: 1. go to the front door/gate of your house with a copy of your essay 2. walk through your house, and for each new room/significant decoration/piece of furniture/whatever...

Yes - it's way too hard to memorise the whole thing. Too much effort for a subject you hate. Memorise most of the intro and conclusion, and the topic and closing sentences of the body paragraph. Memorise really cool sounding sentences. That'll make what you actually have to memorise a...

yes, although I'd imagine you'd have to also explain how they link together, what authority they have, who has "access" to them so-to-speak (by which I mean, any random off the street can't just chat up the pope)... Also, explain how decisions etc get made...would they have some sort of...

I wish my school gave ranks :burn: all we get are grades...

Oh, my school's prefects must be weird then. You know, giving detentions, being able to yell at annoying kids, head teachers/principals/etc listening to you...it is power I tell you! power!! :lol: Also we have Event Committees to organise most of the events and fundraisers, so prefects...

Well, if it doesn't give you any information about them, maybe you could list some general information (ie for the average/general population) eg eating habits, exercising, etc... and then tailor it for a year 11 high school student (ie they spend most of weekdays sitting in school, so need to...

Good luck :karate:

You mean like this? 22x - 5(2x) + 4 < 0 (2x)2 - 5(2x) + 4 < 0 Let m = 2x m2 - 5m + 4 < 0 and solve? Because my teacher told me to do something like that, but I didn't really understand what she meant...
