Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon Really? I derived it myself.

Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon $The ellipse$ \ \ \ \frac{x^2}{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 $Has 2 points$ \ \ P(a\cos \theta, b\sin \theta) \ \ $and$ \ \ Q(a\cos \alpha, b\sin \alpha) $The tangents at the points P and Q intersect at R at a right angle$ $i) Prove that the locus of R is a circle with...

Re: The p00n thread My english teacher is a HSC marker and knows what bullshit is and what isn't. He will dock you marks for not making sense, so don't try and bullshit stuff in English, it may work internally due to teachers not knowing how to mark, but in the HSC it won't work...
