    Are my rankings crap?

    at james ruse is there even 1 kid of anglo-saxon descent attending [not including fat ugly nerds]? i don't mean to offend, just a north coast surfy bonger smart arse kid asking some questions. and hijacking threads.

    finding X intercepts

    oh ok. so ill just sub in 4[1^3] - 30[1^2] + 72[1] - 54 = -8 so 1 isn't right then ill sub in 2 4[2^3] - 30[2^2] + 72[2] - 54 = 2 is this method right? and if so? where's the quadratic left?

    finding X intercepts

    cool. last question. y = (x-1)(x-3)^3 sketch after finding dy/dx, x intercepts, y intercept, stationary points. i found the x intercepts, 1 and 3 obviously. y intercept is 27. im just having trouble find the stationary points, another cubic question. stationary points occur for...

    finding X intercepts

    and im left with the answers +- 2, +- 5. thank you very much. what about x^3 + x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0 ? id assume id have to factorize. wait dont worry, end up with complex roots or sumin. what about x^4 - 2x^3 = 0 i would factorise and get x^3(x-2) = 0...

    finding X intercepts

    how would i find the x intercepts on something like this.. f(x) = x^4 - 29x^2 + 100 let f(x) = 0 x^4 - 29x^2 + 100 = 0 x^4 - 29x^2 = -100 x^2(x^2 - 29) = -100 ?

    finding X intercepts

    it goes.. quadratic then cubic then quartic right?

    finding X intercepts

    in regards to geometric application of the derivative. i have no problem finding the x intercepts of a quadratic like x^2 - 4x + 3 = y i just factorise or use the general quadratic solution. but how do i find the x intercepts or a cubic or even to the power of 4?

    Belonging-related questions, help!

    in regards to question 2. you could talk about Pip from great expectations [and south park] and how his attitiudes of belonging change as he grows from a child to a man, think the term for a story where in the boy becomes a man is "Bildungsroman"
