It sounds like you can't cope with more than one. Maths is how a gay guy with a lisp says math. I never understood why we called it maths in school. Its a British thing. I'd hear on tv and movies Americans saying math and I would wonder where the 's' went, but soon realized it was a better term to refer to it as.

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. You are one of the snarkiest around here and your response proves this.
So you are insecure about being inferior, because you can't see the conspiracies that the superiors can?
Keep on insulting people, Toasty. This tactic is working wonders. :)

Hey Monkeys, was this really meant to be a pleasant conversation?

Was supposed to be about maths but yanks can't go more than 2 minutes without things tuning into conspiracy theory talk. We are just "sheeple" for not seeing what their special (at least to their moms) minds can see.

The conspiracy theory came from Australia while Americans appear to think a speech impediment which hinders the ability to pronounce ‘s’ turns ‘math’ into ‘maths’. I might not know much but I know my speech impediments. :)

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
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)Excellent

And I joked about the "gay lisp" because I'm gay and I can do that. The infamous "gay lisp" is more affection, not an impediment.
Seriously, you're the one who came on this thread with the snarky insults. But now it's all mine and Toasty's transgression.

Uh, you insulted him first. You inferred he's a conspiracy theorist and he's wacko for not being vaccinated. I'm pro-vax. But unlike you I don't make ad hominem attacks on the matter.
But you do this shit all the time and then play victim when others defend themselves.

I'm sorry that he felt the need to keep on insulting those who don't believe in The Plandemic.

I'd say it was necessary coercion. He opposes it on libertarian grounds. Dude, look in the mirror. You attacked him. He said not one negative word about you or anybody until you started the holier-than-thou act.

Uh, kinda homophobic if you think effeminate gay men have a speech impediment. I assure you they don't. Dude, you're the one who ruined this thread with the ad hominem attacks. But it's never you. It's always everybody else.

Only the brainwashed lemmings think it’s ok. Conspiracy theory detected!
