yeah i asked my math teacher and her response was
and i quote "looks like stuff from the advanced course"
like ok??? clearly people are doing it in year 10 so ????
if it's of any comfort, we're not studying that either and i'm in a private school, but it does look familiar (i learned it a while ago at tuition, have forgotten most of everything)

wouldn't this be differentiation? use the power rule which should give y=2x+5 then sub in your x value which is 1 which gives you the gradient of the tangent (7)
then substitute x=1 into the original equation to find the y intercept at x=1 which should be y=12 which gives you the point where the tangent touches the parabola (1,12)
then use point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) and sub in your values
y-12=7(x-1)
y-12=7x-7
y=12+7x-7
y=7x+5
which is the equation of the tangent to the curve
and the normal is just perpendicular to that which should be y=-1/7x+5
sorry if my explanation is unclear but i checked in desmos and it looks right :lol:
ohhh ok got it got it tysm!!

how do i do this?
Thats what im meant to be studying rn too 😭
I have an exam in week 9 n i havent even started
Guys i have like 5 assignments n 2 tests all due in the same week n im so stressed idk what to do

History: idk how to analyse shit

English: dont understand the assignment, my teacher doesnt know how to explain the assignment n i havent finished the book yet

STEM: its group so i have to rely on other ppl

PE: its a dance assignment n my group is still deciding on verse 1 MAN WE HAVE MORE THAN JUST VERSE 1 TO MAKW A DANCE FOR

Commerce: its group n my group didnt do shit uk that i have to make a 24 slide by myself bc my team isnt doing anything n i cant tell the teacher bc she’ll mark us down for not disturbing the work equally

Math: im so behind on my hw i need to do my hw before i revise for my test

Science: got it today but its a physics test n i need to do everything else before

ik im ranting but guys i rlly need help im so stressed n dont know what to do (note i have started history n eng)

why u so sassy bruv
your teacher is correct in saying that it's from the advanced course since as far as I can tell, you'd need differentiation for this question
differentiation is only taught in the yr11 advanced course
people doing it in yr10 are doing yr11 work early, it is NOT in the yr10 course

fuck i'm so cooked i've got no clue and i'm in 5.3...
i guess that's what happens when you go to a public high :newburn: :newburn::eek:
nothin to do with public school, same reasoning as above

nah apparently our teacher intertwines a lot of advanced math topics for us to do in our studies like rn we studying non-linear relationships
