    conjugate hyperbola parameters

    I asked this question before, but I was a bit vague in my question and nobody seemed to understand. As proved, the parametric equations for a regular hyperbola are x= asec(theta), y= btan(theta) When referring to an ellipse, to have the major axis being along the x axis, or the y axis just...

    HSC 2012 Timetable (Sorted By Scaling)

    your argument is invalid for one. "complex calculations" as opposed to "basic principals" is very wrong. but scaling is determined by the performance of a certain subject cohorts performance in english so it is indirectly representative of the cohorts relative ability edit: create your own...
