Off that motivational vid on utube.

But its so good.

Re: The Nonsense Thread

Yeah I already know how to divide for polynomials - that's easy but like I don't know how to use long division for ordinary numbers that's all. Do you know both the sub and elim method?

Yeah of course lol- depending on the question I'll do either.

2x + 2389562378562375623y = 5
7x - 2389562378562375623y = 4

substitution method that

?????

Re: The Nonsense Thread

Never had to deal with any international students before although I do know my cousin who came to Australia a few years ago totally destroyed 3/4u maths since she learnt it ages ago in Vietnam haha.

HAHA I KNOW RIGHT. The girl in my class is from Vietnam and she's like beating everyone. Seriously her rank is 1 of out the whole cohort... Although she be the annoying slut lol

In my school they call extension 2 Maths ESL maths. Mainly the ESL people usually get the top half ranks for the subject.

shoot i don't even know the elim method.

no




can't tell if srs...

long division with normal numbers is the same imo. just give it a try and you'll see what i mean lol

also, you should know 3 methods of solving simultaneous equations: substitution, elimination and graphing (this is sometimes tested and is useful for some questions)

Yes. You know what your class are probably doing right now? Gaming, partying. All you need to do is some work.

Implying that's hard.

that was four lines.

elimination would take two.

No- his point is its not a proper simultaneous equation. x=1 and then y can be whatever the hell it wants instead of having a unique value.

Re: The Nonsense Thread

International students are a bit overrated. The reason for success is because of their mindset in my opinion. They were brought up in an environment where education means everything to them and they have the mentality of taking advantage of every opportunity. (Asians is particular)

 

[deswa1]

Re: The Nonsense Thread

And that was elimination BTW

Re: The Nonsense Thread

Fawn hard work can beat talent promise.

But talent always has the advantage over hard work with equal amount of effort, no?

the truth hurts.

teach me

Implying that's hard.

That is hard. I'm sorry but i'm not a genius like you master realise.

Yes. You know what your class are probably doing right now? Gaming, partying. All you need to do is some work.

The question is, how much work?

long division with normal numbers is the same imo. just give it a try and you'll see what i mean lol

also, you should know 3 methods of solving simultaneous equations: substitution, elimination and graphing (this is sometimes tested and is useful for some questions)

Nope. Have no clue on what to do. Should I even bother learning them since I (might) not be needing it next year? maybe??

If a person has talent and does not utilising it. What good is it?

This is well said.

My Physics teacher always stresses about this kind of stuff

Yeah unfortunately. But ultimately there's nothing you can do about that. So yeah with equal effort talent wins out so just put more effort
