I could have (not to sound arrogant). The ATAR I got was pretty much exactly what I needed and I didn't put in nearly as much effort as I could have. In hindsight, I really only studied the day before the HSC exams for English, Physics and Engineering and they were my worst marks.

I don't care about the glory of a high mark haha, just about getting into uni and I've done that.

N/A
For

As x->infinity 4/x^2->0, So y-> +/- (1/2)x

This basically means that for large values of x, the curve tends to go near the curve/line y=+/-(1/2)x. Of course it would also approach infinity, but it will do so by staying close to y=+/-(1/2)x.
