ignore how i wrote the same line twice... i thought i could factorise the quadratic but i checked the determinant and theres no real roots
also unfortunately figuring out the quadratic that gets multiplied by (x+1) requires polynomial division

tbh tho id say to not worry about it i dont think you'll run into questions that ask u to do this in adv like ever

Can someone please tell me how to find the x intercepts of this without ext math? Am I just stupid and forgetting some easy method or what

use rational root theorem and then sub in those values until u get a root out, and then just use sums and products to find the other two roots, u can check if other two roots exist by taking the discriminant of the quadratic factor u get after the linear factor u found using the rational root theorem

yeah but this is in math adv apparently

oh what my bad then? how could he does this without math ext techniques?

I finally started integration, is it really difficult? Like..... the most difficult thing in the advanced syllabus?

i mean it is one of the challenging topics but i wouldn't say its too difficult. i would often just get confused between the integration and differentiation formulas cuz they are really similar but after a lot of practice i'd say you kinda get the hang of it

my math teacher says that integration is like 🤏 this in comparison to other topics (especially in adv)
its just rules, like differentiation, so if you like differentiation you'll like integration. imo stats and probability are the most difficult things in adv

yeaa i agree i hated random variables and all that stuff compared to anything else

I've had 2 people tell me that integration was the hardest topic in adv

integrations pretty fun once you get the hang of it. but i havent encountered ext 1/2 integration yet, so ill probably take this back later

 

[Burnt_Out]

I think optimisation problems are the hardest it ever gets.

It's all just rules though. I am finding integration though one of the very slightly more difficult topics.

Half of Statistical Analysis for Year 12 seems like Standard 2 Mathematics to be honest.

for me its 3d trig and maybe financial maths.

its literally the same thing in me2

U think that’s the hardest? That’s literally the easiest imo. Stuff like logs, the other trig stuff, etc are the worst. Probability isn’t even that bad tbh. I swear my struggles are the opposite to everyone else’s

financial math makes me want to sob. why is it so boring?

financial math makes me want to sob. why is it so boring?

Yea that’s true but it’s better than destroying my brain with harder stuff

 

[ALolly]

I'm so cooked. I spent so long doing first and second derivatives, applications of the derivative and curve sketching with the derivative. I talked to one of my friends and now realise that I've been doing next terms content. I thought I was done the entire terms worth of content Now I need to speedrun integration and try learning trapezoidal rule before tmr

i mean ig it'll be easier next term then

 

[TheEliteTitan]

hey guys
I’m new here and a year 12 student at Epping boys high
I recently transferred to aus from Singapore and I’m confused af as to wth I’m supposed to study
I need an altar of like 95 and take physics chemistry English std math adv and enterprise computing(basically ipt)

any suggestions appreciated

 

[TheEliteTitan]

Were you here last term?

Yup

 

[TheEliteTitan]

Were you here last term?

Yea tho I got the most eye opening results. 60-70% even though the syllabus was easy af

 

[TheEliteTitan]

so that means you've probably done term 1 work
Just focus on learning the term 2 topics (ask your teachers for a scope and sequence if you haven't gotten one to see what you should be practicing and when

Oh so I just go along with schl?

 

[TheEliteTitan]

I didn't get amazing last term so im practicing las terms and this terms content together

Omg thanks sooo muchhhh
Btw I’m Tarik and gonna be here quite a lot so nice to meet you mr dragon
