asymptote

[Collin Li]

thats kinda like coblin actually

which means you should do well

lol

Nah I turned 16 halfway through year 12, not before

Of course, he could still do well though!

You will not find the types of graphs that polky talked about in Methods (and rarely in Specialist), but it is possible. Asymptotes only describe behaviour at the extremes. In between there needn't necessarily be nice conforming behaviour to the asymptotes.

There are some graphs where there is asymptotic behaviour at one region of the graph but the graph actually crosses the asymptote at other regions.

Example:

This question screwed over quite a lot of students on the MHS SAC. My advice is to not be too dependent on using a calculator. It is definitely going to give you a wrong answer. Think about the behaviour of the graph as it approaches positive infinity using algebraic estimation techniques.

EDIT: Crap, I just realised this was the MM board. This is a spesh question so MM people don't freak out. Although with a calc and differentiation, you could probably still do it.

what? did collin do year 12 when he was only 16 or younger?

so are you 18 in uni ?

what is the age requirement to go to uni in UoM?

[shinny]

I don't think there is an age requirement, and I remember reading there was a guy who was like 12 going there. It seems to be based on merit, so I guess that says something about collin ;]
