VCE Methods Question Thread!
PizzaMaster:
Heyyy That makes sense!
Thanks alot!!! Help is greatly appreciated.
I have another question;
what is the best way to approach simultaneous exponential equations
eg. 3000 = a x b^7
6000 = 2a x b^10
I am used to adding or subtracting to solve simultaneous equations.
However, how about here?
Do we add/subtract/multiply/divide
and just in general, what's the best way to approach simultaneous exponential equations
Thank you!
hvo-ade:
Divide 2 equations to eliminate a and apply the index law with b.

Hey guys, this is probably quite a strange scenario I have but I hope I can get some advice :)
I'm currently in year 8 (yes, quite young to even be on ATAR Notes) though I am quite adept in mathematics I'd say. Currently I'm in this extension program at my school (similar to SEAL) and my mathematics teacher still doesn't know what to do with me. It's been a great hassle me having to try and beg him to teach me something besides basic year 8 mathematics and I already knew year 10 advanced stuff so there was very little point in even paying attention to what he was teaching.
Fast forward a few months and I've been told to basically go through the units 1-2 methods textbook and try to complete what I can. It's been quite difficult as I haven't been put in a methods class, I've just had the book thrown at me. Though, I have managed to get through around 6 chapters so far of the methods book and I'm aiming to hopefully finish another 2-3 in the next few weeks.
I've spoken to the mathematics department leaders at my school and they are suggesting that I could potentially start my scored methods studies next year (I would be in year 9). I told them that I would only do this if it wasn't to be scored (basically doing the content without it actually contributing to my ATAR), however I am starting to wonder if maybe it wouldn't be too bad of an idea.
How risky do you think this would be if I did this scored? :o

If your school is suggesting that you complete units 1/2 methods next year then I think it's a great idea. Unit 1/2 does not contribute to ATAR anyways, and if you complete units 1 and 2 well, then proceed to unit 3/4 methods the following year (which contributes to ATAR).
Worst case scenario, you do unit 1/2 methods next year and you don't feel comfortable with proceeding to 3/4 then just repeat it! :)
