    Dont feel bad, I went to school with a kid who graduated 10 days after turning 16. He had started doing uni subjects at...14 1/2?

    Yeah...He also heads up a company that the mob I work for uses, and he just bought the old head office building of the mob I work for...

    It's scary when that happens, I can say that I am jealous of these people, I would do anything to have a brain that good.....

    I enjoy the unique perspective on life that I hold right now, and thus consider myself superior to all humans in a certain regard. Being someone else would rob me of this advantage.

    I wouldn't be too jealous.. I personally would find it a little awkard being 16 with 18 year olds and older only in my classes... theres advantages and disadvantages...

    This stuff (or some of it) is what I did in my physics and mechanics* classes

    *Newtonian mechanics, no oil!

    AP between going to univesrity early and your what is a hook up comment the other day I now get a mental image of sheldon from Big Bang Theory everytime I read your posts...

    I wouldn't envy the brilliant too much how lonely must it be to be 'above' people, might as well be on a deserted island.

    13. C
    14. A
    15. C
    16. D
    Not rally sure what they ask about in 16, but D gives 2 f(X) with different values, usually not good for functions at this math level.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    C, A, C

    13. I assume it means gradient when it says slope and seeing as it increases by $2 for every topping added the gradient is 2/1=2

    14. No idea what the question means (American terminology must be different) but (15.6, 3) is a point on the graph as when the pizza has three toppings it's price is $15.60

    15. You can work out the cost of a blank pizza by taking 3x$2 away from the cost of a three topping pizza, which gives you $9.60. This function will only work when the number of toppings is greater than or equal to 3 though as you can't tell how much a two or one topping pizza will cost.

    And again I have no idea what 16. is asking...

    14 should be B. The equation of the line for pizza price is y = 2x + 9.6

    So if x = 3, y = 15.6, or (3,15.6). Hah, if you don't like this, wait till you get to trigonometry, logarithms, and sigma notation. Although I assume you've already done some trigonometry in the last couple grades?

    16's really simple. It's beginners stuff. Just use the vertical line test to see if it's a function. Literally something you learn on the first day of Functions lessons, guys.

    Correct. That's what you get by not doing maths for years.
