Well my point is you don't use implicit in 2U...

ok what I did was differentiate everything 3 times (lol).

This left me with no ln(x) and the only 'x' left were in the denominator.

So by subbing in stuff like x=1, I ended up with a few different equations in terms of a, b, and c only. Then just use simultaneous equations.

Not sure if this was actually shorter though lol.
Ah cool, although I prefer the original approach lol

Well my point is you don't use implicit in 2U...
yeah my bad

Keep mixing up 2/3U

Maybe the original way seemed longer because you didn't get it straight away?

I mean it's not really that long......

True, that method isn't actually that long, however we were just looking for faster/alternative ways I guess

Most of them, I guess so? It's an accelerated class and there's quite a number of really smart geniuses.
Like you. BTW, I'm a bit disappointed I didn't really talk to you on Wed- you said hi at the start and then I got distracted and didn't come back sorry :(

haha, not really (compared to everyone else here)

Yeah no worries, so much stuff happened on that day, plus there was heaps of other people and everything.

That's alright, next time then :)
