    another prediction please :S

    my careers adviser's prediction was assuring, but I don't trust him. About 10/110 in my school get over 90 every year, highest last year was 97.05, and the year before was 99.60. subject, assessment rank, trials rank, trial mark Eng(adv) (13/22) (7/22) 54% (think the class ranged from 10...

    but I thought you only need to find the correct answer for integrals

    and as the good postmodernist we all are, we take a mixture of them all, or alternatively see them just as good as each other

    Quickest way to integrate

    it's just like how you do a x=sin(t) substitution to integrate something like 1/sqrt(1-x^2) with hyperbolic substitutions you do a x=cosh(t)=[e^(t) + e^(-t)]/2 subsitution sinh(t)=[e^(t) - e^(-t)]/2 other hyperbolic functions such as tanh could be defined accordingly some...

    weird.. that's defying the laws of probability.. we're assuming that people don't think when they vote, so the number of votes for each option should be approximately equal

    random tips/hints

    What new question could they possibly conjure out of the riemann zeta? Fosweb: gamma(x) = integral {0-> infinity} t^(x-1)*e^(-t) dt it turns out that gamma(x) = (x-1)!

    random tips/hints

    oh don't think so.. maybe ln(2) this time? or did that appear before? the Gamma function? so harder polynomial question? I would love a geometry Q 8 though

    4u maths VERSUS 3u maths

    That's not an issue To be a good calculatorist, you should not know which keys to punch before the calculation and not remember what you've press afterwards.

    Quickest way to integrate

    Hmm probably repeating what you know, I don't know better methods :( I sqrt(x^2 - 8x) dx = I sqrt[ (x-4)^2 - 16 ] dx since you don't want to do it by parts we have hyperbolic substitution, definitions cosh(t)= [e^x + e^(-x)]/2 , sinh(t)= [e^x - e^(-x)]/2 let (x-4) = 4cosh(t), dx =...
