I'm just kinda annoyed like because he was saying about how he was so screwed and doing no study etc and me there thinking 'great I'm not alone' but then this comes out! Like fair play in doing 12 hours, but sweet mother WHY lie about it? I wish he had of told me rather than stringing along with it /rant

People seem to think it's horrendously embarrassing to actually be studying. :rolleyes: Yeah totes morto I'm working really hard and I'm going to get my course - cringe or what!! It's a joke. :cool:

It was find the turning points of the graph when dy/dx = -2/(x+2)^2. That can never equal 0, so you've proved by contradiction that there cant possibly be turning points (the contradiction is -2 = 0, which clearly isnt the case :P)

It's unlikely but I cant write it off, I'll start swallowing my pride now rather than in August. Everyone's expecting me to do really well so I'm trying to get rid of that image Might happen, might not like! :P It doesnt have to be done by geometry does it?

Mysteriouschic wrote: » Just do your best and see what happens then and if you do feel really not confident with maths maybe you could drop to ordinary and just get like a C/B in it unless you really need the points. You could have a look at the ordinary just incase you on the day you decide not to go ahead with the honours. You've been working hard at the honours you might as well stick with it with all the effort you've put in.

Patchy~ wrote: » I cant imagine why we'd need two I do feel confident in it if its a nice exam, but if its like last year I'd be terrified The 4% fail rate makes me feel better anyway and I got a C3 in the mock, I think its more the idea of failing when I know I could easily pass OL thats worrying me haha. I dont need the points is the thing, but I dont wanna count history Could never drop on the day though or even now tbh, its too close :P Yeah I have been, I guess you're right Come what may :P Oh god that root 2 one's awful! The differentiation one I posted is actually lovely, but the other calculus one I learned is more detailed. I know it now but I wouldnt advise learning it anyway :pac: My book actually just says "x > 10. x > 15. we cannot directly disprove this but we can show that x > 11 creates a contradiction", seems very basic
