Well I typed in 93 for eco, and 92 for phys, and my phys subject was counted whereas eco wasn't. Many of my school teachers say that the trial mark for their students wasn't far off than the actual HSC marks that they got, so that was the assumption that I based it on. Can you explain to...

You're right about the 85 idea, in terms of figuring UAI, Morgues. The best way would be to type in the trial scaled marks and have a look at the UAI there. However, my point was only to see how the subjects were scaled. I was surprised, for example, that a 85 for Jap was scaled down to...

no worries On a different note, I think people should be more worried about how things are scaled...but not obsessively worried. Because you (unfortunately) can sometimes get a better UAI by concentrating on a subject that you hate, instead of concentrating on a subject you like. An...

i can't agree more... if you haven't managed to calculate your UAI by now, you might be better off sticking with english...

Well, if no one realised, that's exactly what I did, but i wrote it all out first thing, because you'd eventually need to anyway... And besides, it's easier to understand. please, if there's a better method, illustrate it here instead of saying that you think it works...because i dun...

oh i goto ruse, and I take the standard subject mix there: 4u maths phys chem eco and 2u adv english

a certain boy at our skool went around pretending to be a girl at this forum. Bob exposed him is that evil?

Why can't people just goto Lazseeker and screw around with the wonderful system they have there, instead of asking stupid questions about their UAI. I mean, just put in your real trial marks in, have a look, and then each time, just raise (or lower) one particular subject by one mark at a...

What is school for, if you're meant to sleep at night?

For some physics graphs, yes. For AAS calibration curves, you're not meant to plot (0,0) as a point. This is because the instrument usually doesn't read 0 absorption at 0 concentration (i.e. a blank).

Bob is the real name of Mordenkainen, fyi

In theory it would pass through 0,0, but in reality, even if you have a substance-free sample, the instrument won't measure 0. 0,0 is not a point on the line of best fit, i'm afraid. Usually graphs for instruments such as AAS are only linear for a small range of values, that's why there's a...

Oh yes, and i forgot, water and other liquids boil at lower temperatures when they're subjected to lower pressures. Imagine your blood boiling...

Well there is no missing dollar The 3 men paid $27 in total. The hotel receives $25, the bellboy receives $2. No missing anything. Even the hotel guy recognised using the number $30 was wrong. The hotel guy's obviously smarter than the guy who invented this question. Besides, this...

An argument's only fun when it never gets anywhere. That's why english is a lot more "fun" than maths...

it would definitely look simpler if i din have to use the ^ every time i wanted to raise by a power, and if i din need to do full working for that poor guy, i would just put this + this + ... + last term... that might look simpler? yeh dumbarse...show me your way...

what do you mean by "put the power equal to 1"? the formula you stated is the binomial formula, it's the most basic formula and I have used it to expand each bracket. this problem's a bit complicated because it involves 2 brackets, but all you have to do is to find all the coefficients and...
