Facebook message with a high performance student

 
This is how a great student interact on face book with  a tutor :)
Difference between sulfur,sulphide,sulphite and sulfate
 
 
8:39pm
Hey
8:41pm
ya?
???
8:42pm
Started matrix ?
U took geo or history ?
8:43pm
no leh my teacher super slow sia just finish all the laws of indices today
8:43pm
Haha
8:43pm
combined humans=SS + History
let me test u a chem qn :D:D
8:44pm
whats the name of ion SO3
8:45pm
Sulphide ions
8:45pm
no la the name
dont check the internet arh
8:58pm
Dunno
No meh ?
8:59pm
ion of SO3 is sulfite
If SO3 is a compound its sulfur trioxide
8:59pm
I dunno how to spell ..... S2- then sulphide
Shit
Haha
9:00pm
I knew u would get wrong
:D:D
9:00pm
My spelling not so good
Lousy in English
Think must wack jarrette English soon
Haha
9:01pm
So weird sia must have sulfur,sulphide,sulphite and sulfate
agreed :):)
9:02pm
Ya I also mixed up some times

Quadratic expansion

(a + b) 2 = a 2 + b2 + 2ab 
(a - b) 2 = a 2 + b2 -2ab
(a+b)(a-b) = a2 - b2

Example 
(3a-4)(3a+4) 
=32a2 -42
=9a2 - 16

Chapter 1.2 Solving Non linear Equations


Solving Non linear Equations

Example1

2y-3x=1  ------ (1)
y+9x2=8 ------ (2)

from (1)       y=(4x+1)/2 ----(3)
                  
sub(1) into (3): (4x+1)/2 + 9x2   - 8 =0

x 2                 3x+1+18x2 -16=0
                     18x2-15+3x=0
                      (18x-15)(x+1)=0

                      18x-15=0 or      x+1=0
                      18x=15               x=-1
                       x=15/18


find y

Example 2


                   3x/y-2y/x=1 --------- (1)
                   5x-3y=12     --------- (2)

(2):              x=(12+3y)/5 ----------(3)

multiply (1) by xy

                   3x-2y2=xy ------------(4)

sub (3) into (4)

                   3(12+3y) 2/5 -2y2=y(12+3y)/5

multiply by 25
                                3(12+3y) 2 -50 y2=5y(12+3y)
                   3(144+72y+9y2)-50 y2=60y+15y2
432+216y+27y2 -50y2 -60y-15y2 =0

                   -38y2-60y+432=0
                   19y2 +30y-216=0
                   (19y+36)(y-6)=0
                   y=-36/19 or y=6

find x
