In the first image how is it 4 root 3 +12+1 isn’t it 3+4 root 3 +4+1 which equals 8+4 root 3

It should be 4root3 + 7 +1 = 4root3 +8

I get that fr!! You're DEF better at maths than me...i just happen to have done this yesterday so it's fresh on my brain cells

Guys my math teacher keeps on attacking me about how i look so tired during class- EVERY SINGLE LESSON HE ALWAYS ASKS ME WHAT TIME I WENT TO BED AND IF I HAD E1 THAT MORNING- LIKE SIR PLEASE STOP DRAWING ATTENTION TO ME

@Shavi Masee ?? hoping u know

rationalise the 1/x and then add. Don't overcomplicate it. In yr12 you need to know how to do this without even being given it as a subpart.

thanks @jane1820 @Study to success @Shavi Masee

Wheres my thanks?

just so you know!

... so its not x+1/x = x^2+1/x
its actually x^2/x+1/x

 

[Shavi Masee]

... so its not x+1/x = x^2+1/x
its actually x^2/x+1/x

yes it's just that the simplified version would be
(x^2 +1)/x

 

[Socialism]

yes it's just that the simplified version would be
(x^2 +1)/x

OHHHHHH OMFG
i thought y'all were saying x+1/x = (x^2) + 1/x
so it was actually x^2+1 all over the same denominator riiiight

guys my principlal is picking top students who answer the following question for an excursion on womens day so any ideas would be great:
You have 45 seconds in an elevator with Andrew Tate, what will you say to him?

hey guys!! so basically, im in year 11 right now and currently i am doing a total of 15 units. 13 in school, and an external language outside of school.

Here are my subjects:

English Adv
English Ext
Math Adv
Biology
Chemistry
Visual Arts
SOR2
Accelerated Itallian Continuers (meaning i will be taking the HSC for this at the end of this year)

15 units is kind of a lot for me and i was thinking that i definetly needed to drop one subject so i could spend time focusing on my other subjects- and also since im doing my language for hsc this year i would need to spend more time on that too. we have classes almost 8 hours every week and a plus of dropping a subject would mean i would have some sstudy periods. for me, i was considering between biology, chemistry and visual arts.

here are my thoughts:
- right now,visual arts is my "fun subject". its like a subject i can kind of relax in because im ive done it as an elective in both years 9 and 10 and im pretty good with writing and waffling on, but i am aware of how poorly art scales for your ATAR unless you achieve the top top in it, and how for the hsc i would have to submit a major work- something a lot of time would go into.

- biology on the other hand as ive seen has ALOT OF CONTENT (which is expected bc its a "content heavy subject". its crazy to me how little lessons we had but theres so much to catch up on already. i'm not really a fan of it right now.. but i feel like i would maybe enjoy it as time goes on?? its just the amount of content we have to learn is insane ive also heard that in terms of scaling, chemistry scales better, but as expceted, it would be harder too.

-right now, im enjoying chemistry and the fact that we have less content is making me more comfortable because i feel like i can grasp the content, but i definetly feel like it will get harder in year 12 (as expected) but im not too sure, if i would want to drop bio and then eventually ending up hating chem.. i wouldn't say im AMAZING at math since im not doing ext1 rn id say im pretty "okay" with it, but ive heard you need math for chem...

when i drop a subject (2 units this year), that would leave me with 13 units for my preliminary course this year - 2 of those i already completed last year bc i did my language accelerated. so next year, if i drop another 2 units (idk what subject that would be), i would still have 11 units for my hsc.

im just a bit unsure because once you drop a subject, you cant really pick it up again so that is whats holding me back..

can someone that maybe did bio and chem or even visual arts for their hsc pls help me out?? maybe give me some advice too? + if you have any study tips/ techniques as well as any websites that you find/have found useful??

it would really help me out!!! thank you so muchhh!!!!

i can't help you w any of this but welcome to BOS and the 2026 hsc chat!!!!

not advice, but as a person doing 14 units currently im almost definitely dropping bio by the end of y11 at the very least, ideally by next term. i already am struggling with keeping up, but im mostly staying just to see what the exams are like, which is what i'd ideally recommend, but you are doing a goddamn 15 units. if you do feel like you need to drop by this term (which is probably for the best), you might wanna make a separate thread asking for help from the 24s or 25s? you could probably just copypaste this and it's reach more people than in here bc i dont think too many older people frequent here

Hi! I'm in year 12 and I only do bio out of the 3 subjects you've mentioned, but I wanted to stress that bio isn't really as heavy as it's touted to be. There is a fair amount of content, but a lot of it is less conceptual than many other subjects. The main skills you need are scientific skills which hold for both bio and chem (I feel like bio + chem is a good combo). You also don't need to know everything in too much depth, you just need to know the keywords to use in responses.

Comparing my workload to my friends who do VA, I definitely think that a major work will take more time than studying bio. However, if you're disinterested in the content, it won't be worth keeping it.

I gotta say that year 11 marks don't really matter that much (I know it might not seem that way right now but it's true), so it would be best to keep all your subjects for at least a term to see how they are. That way you'll have fewer regrets.
