    imo 2006

    Actually, as a matter of fact, no. Too scared. :p Not that I could picture the possibility anyway :rolleyes:

    Anything that you would like?

    Woohoo! Thank you! :D ... But is this done for all subjects? Doesn't look like it for chem or physics yet. Or will all of them have a prelim section added eventually? :D

    any advise would be appreciated so much...

    Do you want to do well? You do. Tell that to yourself every so often and strive for it. :) Make sure you understand everything being taught in lessons and ask the teacher or classmates if you don't, get the theory right but perhaps don't rely on them too much on problem solving, as you'll be on...

    Factorial Notation

    o.0 ... It was done above, the LHS. Maybe my explanation of "combos" wasn't clear? :p

    imo 2006

    Ooh the results are out already? They're fast. =P Congrats to the Australian team! :) PS. Teeheehee China came out first again :D

    I don't get INDUCTION!!

    Basically, IF the fact that "conditions are true for k" would imply "the conditions are true for k+1" (Note: not saying that the conditions would definitely be true for k), AND you've proven "the conditions are true for 1", Then by the first statement, the fact that "the conditions are...

    what is integral coefficient?

    Yeah I think that's what he meant. :p (x-1)2 would be the standard parabola shifted 1 unit to the right.

    Factorial Notation

    For LHS, basically you make all the possible "combos" for a term of xn+1. From sasquatch's working, and from the question, a term of xn+1 may be obtained by x.xn, or x2.xn-1, x3.xn-2 etc, where the coefficient of x from the first bracket in (1+x)n.(1+x)n, ie. (1+x)n is nC1, and that...

    what is integral coefficient?

    Yeah, that's what I meant :o Not very specific diction there :p But some would have 'bumps' for x values near its axis of symmetry, making a W or M shape - like the x4-x2+4 mentioned above :p

    Mnemonics

    What are you gonna do when you come to cathode and anode? :p

    what is integral coefficient?

    If it's just a single term kx4+c (where k and c are constants) then yes, just a parabola, except it's flatter in the interval [-1, 1] and steeper when x<-1 and x>1. But it can also make an M or W shape (depends on the sign of k) when the polynomial is, say, x4-x2+4, where there are more than...

    What is your motivation?

    All my maths book for the past few years have fallen apart - and without a reason x.x But! This year it's looking good - I've got contact on it - unless it bursts from all those sheets stacked in it. Heh. ... Really can't be bothered and don't think a folder would help.

    the SAT exam

    Ooh really? No wonder. Well then, the next time you can attempt it would be in October this year then :D
  14. airie

    the SAT exam

    SAT scores are required by most universities in the US. I heard that it's on in October every year, and you can attempt it for unlimited number of times until you think you've achieved the scores you want. There are also SAT II, ACT, and other tests. The SAT is not like the HSC or IB as you...

    Laptops at school

    We actually had laptops for every bench in physics since the last two weeks of last term. Apparently it's supposed to be used for entering our experiment data straight after doing the experiment...We didn't use it much though. And it was rather startling for me to walk into the lab one day to...

    Anything that you would like?

    ^Mentioned that in a News/Announcements thread a few weeks ago, and here's their reply: http://community.boredofstudies.org/51/news-announcements/92255/what-would-you-like-see-bos-2006-a/12.html#post2405857

    How was your school day?

    To be honest I wish that they don't. That's cos I never want them back, and I have a thing for knowing exactly what I did wrong right after a test :p

    Year 11 Advanced English - Area of Study

    Franz needs to check on his common sense. Anyways we did "Change" for AoS, so maybe Macbeth was sorta relevant. Transformation of an ambitious man into a ruthless murderer...hum. I need to get my speech outta my head. :p

    How should i plan my studying

    Just...grab whatever you can see and start making notes on them, and don't get distracted by other things :p Talking about making notes, haven't looked at my physics textbook for aaaaaaaages...I should start studying. Maybe it helps that my computer at home doesn't work now. (But that's not what...

    What DOES Franz wanna know, SoulSearcher? What is there to be known? What were we talking about anyway? o.0
