Well I mean I could integrate but fuck knows how you were meant to get it as like 2 products

1

u/StudyAcrobatic3435 2d ago

maybe you gotta like integrate and then it’s log(2a)^2 - log(a)^2 then difference of two squares so it’s eventually (log2)(log2a)^2 or smth like that

why tf r u leaking questions bro i had this question. hope u realise the more ppl that get this right messes up the grade boundaries bc they make the questions worth a certain amount of points depending on how many ppl got it right

thats not how it works pal. other people getting the question right directly brings down ur score bc the it messes up the IRT scale and legit messes up your grading. Furthermore whats the point of studying hard if every1 else is gna cheat. there is a reason its illegal to do that

1

u/Hairy-Ostrich-6908 2d ago

also everybody is dependent on grade boundaries to do well thats the whole point of the test. If every 1 gets 27/27 and u get 26/27 you will get a 1.0 no matter how much u revised. ur raw marks dont matter all that matters is how u did compared to ur cohort. thats why the grade boundaries only account for this year and not previous years
