More maths related problems :sigh:

If you guys (or others) could lend a hand it would be, again, much appreciated :smile:

For the second one, you've got the wrong expression for the discriminant. You've got the -12p-16 bit right but not the

2p^2

bit. Remember, you are squaring ALL of 2p, not just the p. :smile:

Got them both now I think :smile:

Edit:

Also, is the answer to the other one (if you've seen it) --> x = -k +- (root of k^2 -4)?

Honestly, I do prefer my sixth form to my secondary school. The teaching standard is better, the facilities are better and I have way more freedom here than my secondary school would ever think of giving us. All in all, yeah, selective schools have that edge, but you push yourself harder in non selectives I think

Really? Okay. I've been sleeping on it. I think I wouldn't gain a lot from moving so I think I'll stay. Thanks a lot though bobk!

Personally, I prefer psychology, its far more interesting. But biology is alright. It's definitely the subject I'm struggling the most with and there's A LOT to remember.

I know what you mean. I' think biology is piling on but psychology is very interesting.
Btw what is your other 2 options that you are doing. 😊

That's the thing - there is no problem. There's no point me moving really, I don't see what else I would gain apart from a different social life, which I don't care too much about.
