Omg do people got a valentine this valentines day?

no but my friends are doing galentines

 

[f7eeting]

I literally don't have the mental bandwidth to care

agreed, im more worried about the study i get done on saturday than valentines

 

[f7eeting]

@f7eeting the answer to your question (for acids and bases in exams will it be mostly theory/calculations or a mix?) is:

" Mix but theres potential for some hard calculations. Theres also a decent amount of theory."

thank youuu

 

[f7eeting]

This guy says math adv is avg and the bare minimum that should be taught and that math ext 1 and 2 are easy.

i agree tbh, but i know for many math isnt their strong suit so
also that sounds like it'll be a fun test!

 

[f7eeting]

Yeah..... but for physics. Adv math was the assumed knowledge so people who are not so strong at math should know by then(With physics you surely have to know math is inevitable. The only thing we used from adv math were quadratic equations which I'm pretty sure standard have done.

standard does quadratic equations? i didnt know that lol all i ever see people from standard doing is finance or networks now that im thinking about it

yeah lol. Quadratic equations are easy. We do basically non linear graphing too

damnn what else do you guys do?

i tried helping a friend with their standard hw today and i couldnt do it financial math is filled with so many funny words i dont understand

i tried helping a friend with their standard hw today and i couldnt do it financial math is filled with so many funny words i dont understand

was it like shares and brokerage and stuff. I was also very confused at first and everyone else seemed to get it. But after doing the homework I'm kinda getting it now

We also do simultaneous equations, trig (like sine rule, cosine rule, area of triangle, bearing stuff with word equations, etc), stuff like energy consumption, etc.

I saw someone doing network questions its so cooked I couldn't even understand what you are supposed to do

Even when I showed the critical path question that we’re doing in business studies. My friend thought it was math and she was like wth is that

 

[Study to success]

You already know all of that luckily. How is your cohort in standard? Do you think that you can get into top 2?

Idk. I really hope so. But my cohort is quite competitive and tons of peopl from adv also dropped to std so idk

 

[Study to success]

Best way is next holidays finish off all content and go straight to past trial papers for the next 2 terms. It'll get you a really good head start

Hmm yeah I might consider it. Hopefully I don’t fall behind in my other subjects so that I can dedicate some time to getting ahead with math

 

[f7eeting]

Idk. I really hope so. But my cohort is quite competitive and tons of peopl from adv also dropped to std so idk

the person whos ranked 1st is my friend who never did adv which is kinda crazy
but i think you can still get top 2 for sure

 

[ottowatta]

can someone quickly explain to me proof in simple terms cos i got a question about proving an expression is irrational, and i can't solve it algebraically because it keeps assuming all the terms are rational, nvm dw guys i bootlegged it

you're already learning proofs by contradiction?

 

[ottowatta]

you're already learning proofs by contradiction?

my teacher mentioned it in class that it would have to be used for one of the questions and he was like, 'yeah just try figure it out,' but quite obviously i have not a clue of what proof is so i tried algebra but that didn't work so i just tried a bunch of random stuff in hope of figuring it out and i ended up miraculously getting the answer

 

[f7eeting]

what even is that, should I be knowing it????

nahh its an ext 2 thing. i mean its pretty fun to learn, if you’re curious try learning the proof that sqrt 2 is irrational, its a classic

if its possible can i see your solution to this? or how you went about it?

ts was 1 hour of work and a full page wasted btw

I’m pretty sure she did like 5.3 in yr 10 tho
