if you guys are interested, I'm going to have a hsc interactive answer/ discussion thing

Probably just for discovery. We can collectively analyse texts and attempt at responding to the questions (I got some sample paper 1s)
Also, there could be a sharing of random stuff we find and then relating them to discovery (whether this is from past AOS papers or something you've come across online)

Why am I doing this?
Well just answering questions after questions is boring and having group interaction makes you actually do stuff. There's no marking criteria/ sample answers set for these practice discovery papers so it's best to hear answers from other people. It'll be good to have discussion on how we can answer the questions which is giving feedback to whoever wrote that response. I would make a marathon thread but that isn't going to be flexible as this idea. More importantly, you can be anonymous since it doesn't state the contributor unless you specify yourself

so interested?
contact this email for more info and I'll give you an invite: mythologicalsnow@gmail.com (note this is a random spare email, not my real details)
How is this discussion thing going to work? You give us a sample question and we email you back the answers, or will there be a google document and everyone puts up their answers and we can edit one another's?

I was wondering if anybody could help with this questions, specifically the y axis part. "Find the equation of the parabola with vertex at the origin, axis y=0 & passing through (1 1/4, 5). Thanks.

It's so fascinating that years before Year 12 I loved the holidays because I can rest and finally play games non-stop, but now in Year 12 I love the holidays because it gives me more time to study.

The y axis basically means that the parabola crosses the y axis (meaning when x=0) at y=0, which is just a re-iteration of the information about the vertex being at the origin (meaning the x and y intercepts are at 0,0). So you automatically use the standard form of y=ax^2, where you find out that a=80/121. So your final answer is:

but it says axis is y=0 meaning its an inverted parabola
