And an entirely new slant on all boys loving their mums.
I never took a lot of notice of his politics, which seemed to change by the week Farnham’s Freehold come to mind here. I never recovered from reading that one. :| Probably his last incest free book

"if x-1 is a factor, then ax3 + 10x2− 3ax − 4 = 0" Hmmm, that not how I remember it. x-1 being a factor means that the long expression is divisible by x-1, if I remember correctly. It does indeed and as such ax3 + 10x2− 3ax − 4 = 0 No. A being divisible by B does not mean A = 0. Far from it. I think you are making this up through your hat.

Ok, we will have another go.
This is Q2 on the first paper of the new A level syllabus, which is something we will go into later. So if you know the answer then fine and if you don't, well that is fine as well, just don't make excuses. That is not only undignified, it doesn't carry any marks either.
Given that f (x) = x2 − 4x + 5
(a) express f (x) in the form (x + a)2 + b where a and b are integers to be found.
2 Marks
The curve with equation y = f (x)
• meets the y-axis at the point P
• has a minimum turning point at the point Q
(b) Write down
(i) the coordinates of P
(ii) the coordinates of Q

It needs to be banged, as a reminder what the mendacious establishment put the world through. Only the brainwashed lemmings think it’s ok. And this is why most people don’t take any notice of conspiracy theorists. :) Then ask, who are the "real" conspiracy theorists, that many of you seem to be in denial of?

I like conspiracies, I just don't take them seriously Conspiracies can never be proven, as they are just that, conspiracies. Government are the biggest harbingers of conspiracy. There is always truth behind them, especially when it comes to control for power and those whose sole agenda is to maintain the status quo of hoarding wealth.

2 Marks
(a) (x + a)^2 + b = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + b If x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + b = x^2 − 4x + 5 Then 2ax = -4x And a^2 + b = 5 > a = -2 And b = 5 - a^2 = 5 - 4 = 1 > f(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 1
(b) (i) P meets y-axis, i.e. P is where x = 0 > Co-ords of P are (0, 5)
(ii) Q is turning point, i.e. where gradient of curve = 0 d f(x)/d(x) = 2 (x - 2) Which = 0 when x = 2 > Coords of Q are (2, 1)

Maths. Lol. Americans never say it like that. We just say "math". Math is a singular concept. Do the math. I know, it sounds like they're lisping.

I’m not an expert which is why I don’t go around insulting people who don’t share my views so much. ButI guess some people like these theories because it makes them feel superior to the masses who they so clearly despise. Oh well. :)

So you are insecure about being inferior, because you can't see the conspiracies that the superiors can?
