"Given 3x³+2x²+x+2= (x²+2x-1)(3x-4)+Ax+B for all values of x, find the value of A and of B."

Chey.

"Find the coordinates of the two points on the curve y= 4-x² whose tangent pass through the point (-1,7)."

Err... so-so, la.

"A rectangle ABCD has sides AB= a and BC= 2a. ABP and CDQ are isoceles triangles with angle BAP= Θ. PQ is therefore parallel to AD and midway between BC and AD.
Given that S= AP+BP+CQ+PQ+DQ , show that S= 2a/cos Θ + 2a - a tan Θ
Given that d/d Θ (1/cos Θ) = sin Θ/cos² Θ, find an expression for dS/dΘ.
Hence, deduce the value of Θ at which S has a stationary value. Find this value of S. "

... Har?! Simi lai eh? Tia buay jit, la! Wa um hiu! Siam, siam!

The mid-years are here, with Additional Mathematics being one of the first subjects tested.

Donovan being an Andersonian student, has to succumb to a certain vice-principal's whims. How so?

Monday, English and Additional Mathematics tested.
Tuesday, Social Studies and Biology.
Wednesday, Chemistry and Geography.
Thursday, Humanities Elective (Literature for Don) and Physics.
Friday, Higher Mother Tongue.

Oh, that and Elementary Mathematics tested on the following Tuesday.

Who in the right mind would place geography, a memory-hungry subject, with chemistry?!

Has it EVER occured to that witless (insert vulgarity here) that there's only Higher Mother Tongue on Friday, and that she could allocate something insane like Geography or perhaps Literature for that day, should all else fail?
(Do note that the syllabus for HMT has been changed drastically- There can no longer be any preparation for it. That means that there are no "cheng yu", "zao qu" or whatever bloody phrase that we could memorise. That means we CANNOT study for it.)

Bah, there's nothing much for Don to say, anyway. He's off to practise maths (not that he'll pass, heh).

Dear Potassium Hydroxide,
Your nickname is likened to yourself. Impossible. There would be much to write about your incompetency, but Blogspot has a certain limit of bandwidth that one should adhere to. Gigabytes of text could not contain a fraction of what 'feats of stupidity' you have achieved. Alas, you are but an idiot.
Someone ought to permutate your differentiations, you integrate of a binomial approximate.

Mathematics is fun!
