no just accelerated math
i get confused sometimes cus we sometimes talk about 11ext1 stuff (which im doing currently) and i forget u guys doing 11adv (which i did last year) not 12
WHY AM I HERE I GOTTA EAT BREAKFASTTADFAJDFSK

Ohh makes sense now

GO EAT ITS BEEN LIKE 3 HOURS ALREADY

 

[m_avi]

Probably does
Learning a term ahead actually kinda helps bc then when you revisit in school you already have some understanding and it can be easier for you to relearn + apply concepts
Problem for me is the main tutoring near me is wayyy too pricey
Not sure about the smaller ones, and also matrix isn't that good for math apparently

So real I accelerated in year 8 (doing yr 9 math). And once I moved schools, they didn't let me do accel ..but I topped my class in yr 9 math!!!
Funny thing is I've never learned any of year 8 math lol

 

[Study to success]

I remember in my old school I was placed on 5.3 math but then when I moved for some reason they put me in 5.2 in year 9 so I had to make my way up there. So I did good in year 9 and I got put in 5.2/5.3 in year 10 and then eventually they let the people who were gonna do advanced in yr 11 move to the 5.3 class on like term 3. So it was a long journey and I remember having to catch up on a lot of stuff in year 10

Damn, yeah a lot of schools don't let you accelerate if you move there, but my one surprisingly does and even did it last term. So to move you either have to have a. Done well in some test in year 8 or b. Ace the class-decider-thing test ( I don't think they'll take any more since we've already covered quite a bit of content) - they actually took someone in this year (but she did really well on MX1 so I can agree on that one)
Also out of all the people who moved up only one wasn't like a 'new' student (so they all came in year 8 and went to mainstream before moving up)

that's so confusing
But yeah there's a decent amount of revision for most topics in year 11 aside from angle and shape stuff

And what’s even more confusing is that in term 3 the people that picked adv had to be pulled out of our 5.2/3 class occasionally and they got this other teacher to teach us some of the 5.3 stuff that wasn’t covered in our class and then we also had to join one of the 5.3 classes to learn surds. But most of the 5.3 stuff was still covered in the 5.2/3 class. It was only until term 4 where we officially joined the 5.3 class. Like they should have moved us earlier. So i basically had 4 different teachers teaching me different topics last year

@Study to success so like for the resources do you need any simultaneous or function stuff?

I think simultaneous stuff is fine. I don’t need function stuff

@Shavi Masee
got it with the help of AI cus i forget about turning point silly me

AND CHECKING WITH DESMOS DRUMROLL PLEASE

@cheesynooby
can u teach me how to use the element of symbol for domain and range thanks

if anyone is still confused why i used differentiation i found smthing for u

in the working out i replaced f'(x) with 0 for the stationary point (that was the word i was looking for)

@cheesynooby is there a better way to solve it that doesn't include derivatives (for shavi to understand)

Why r u over complicating stuff omg
here ill send my own working

appreciate it
yeah, actually doing the inequalities was better than randomly testing and graphing points
also what is this 'sub in any random number from' u couldve phrased it any other way like 'test... neg number, pos number'

whered u spawn in the desmos graph from
your range; (-infinity, 0.5) does not look right, the graph does not ever touch y=0
i can sub in 0.6 and get still an answer so ur max is wrong too silly

OMG I DIDNT REALISE MY RANGE ABDASDJIASJDAOJDSIA
i meant (-infinity, 0.7) bc according to the graph thats the highest it goes

also dw abt the phrasing lmao as long as it makes sense

 

[NotBamboo]

@jane1820 @Shavi Masee
ill clean up my working first and make a new thread
this is digressing from the purpose of the thread

.7 isnt right either silly
u cant rely on desmos for surds u gotta actually do the math

i wasnt taught the math for figuring out range, my teacher said just look at the graph

 

[cristal]

ok so here's my working
so if you draw up x^2 +2x+3 you can see domain is all real x because it never touches 0 and below due to the square root sign so that's domain

onto the range, so just for the quadratic we can see the minimum value/turning point is -1 (just remembered formula is -b/2a whoops). We use the min value bc the smaller the x value the larger the y value for the function.
Using -1 we sub it into the 1/sqrt of x^2 +2x+3 and our maximum value is 0.7071...
as the quadratic HAS to be greater than 0 (bc you can't do 1/0) and also because when doing square root functions you don't get negative (only outputs positive apparently)
range is : 0 < y </ (less than equal to) 0.7071...

(does this make sense or do I need a diagram?)

 

[cristal]

but yh you'd probably just write it as 1/sqrt 2 instead of 0.7071...

 

[cristal]

@Shavi Masee soo do you understand

 

[cristal]

or do I presume your brain's in overdrive mode?

 

[cristal]

Uhhh can't talk?
(I mean you did message on discord soooo)
