  1. REVISION LECTURE MATHEMATICAL METHODS UNITS 3 AND 4 Exam Preparation

  2. Examinations EXAMINATION 1 - Facts, Skills – Short-answer questions EXAMINATION 2 - Multiple Choice and Analysis Task

  3. Examination Advice General Advice • Answer questions to the required degree of accuracy. • If a question asks for an exact answer then a decimal approximation is not acceptable. • When an exact answer is required, appropriate workingmust be shown.

  4. Examination Advice General Advice • When an instruction to use calculus is stated for a question, an appropriate derivative or antiderivative must be shown. • Label graphs carefully – coordinates for intercepts and stationary points; equations for asymptotes. • Pay attention to detail when sketching graphs.

  5. Examination Advice General Advice • Marks will not be awarded to questions worth more than one mark if appropriate working is not shown.

  6. Examination Advice Notes Pages • Well-prepared and organised into topic areas. • Prepare notes throughout the year. • Include processsteps rather than just specific examples of questions.

  7. Examination Advice Notes Pages • Some worked examples can certainly be of benefit. • Include key steps for using your graphic calculator for specific purposes. • Be sure that you know the syntax to use with your calculator

  8. Examination Advice Strategy - Examination 1 • Use the reading time to plan an approach for the paper. • Make sure that you answer each question. There is no penalty for incorrect answers. • It may be sensible to obtain the “working marks”.

  9. Examination Advice Strategy - Examination 1 • Questions generally require only one or two steps – however, you should still expect to do some calculations.

  10. Examination Advice Strategy - Examination 2 • Use the reading time to carefully plan an approach for the paper. • Momentum can be built early in the exam by completing the questions for which you feel the most confident. • Read each question carefully and look for key words and constraints.

  11. Examination Advice Strategy - Examination 2 • If you find you are spending too much time on a question, leave it and move on to the next. • When a question says to “show” that a certain result is true, you can use this information to progress through to the next stage of the question.

  22. EXAMINATION 1 - FACTS, SKILLS AND APPLICATIONS TASK • Part A • 27 multiple-choice questions (27 marks) • Part B • short-answer questions (23 marks) • Time limit: • 15 minutes reading time • 90 minutes writing time

  23. EXAMINATION 2 - ANALYSIS TASK • Extended response questions • 4 questions (55 marks) • Time limit: • 15 minutes reading time • 90 minutes writing time

  24. The linear factors of the polynomial are Question 1 ANSWER: B

  25. Question 4 fully a) Expand

  26. b) is exactly divisible by Find the value of a.

  27. Question 5 a)

  28. b)

  29. Coefficient of Question 6 ANSWER: B

  30. Coefficient of Question 7 ANSWER: D

  31. Functions and Their Graphs Vertical line test - to determine whether a relation is a function A represents the DOMAIN

  32. Interval Notation Square brackets [ ] – included Round brackets ( ) – excluded

  33. a) b) c) d) e) Question 9 The range of the function with graph as shown is ANSWER: D

  34. Maximal (or implied) Domain The largest possible domain for which the function is defined A function is undefined when: a) The denominator is equal to zero b) The square root of a negative number is present.

  35. So the maximal domain is: Consider the function

  36. Question 10 This question requires EVERY option to be checked carefully. a) b) c) d) e)

  37. ANSWER: E

  38. a) b) c) d) e) Question 11 The graph shown could be that of the function f whose rule is ANSWER: A

  39. Using Transformations When identifying the type of transformation that has been applied to a function it is essential to state each of the following: NATURE- Translation, Dilation, Reflection MAGNITUDE(or size) DIRECTION

  40. 1. Translations a) Parallel to the x-axis – horizontal translation. b) Parallel to the y-axis – vertical translation. To avoid mistakes, let the bracket containing x equal zero and then solve for x. If the solution for x is positive – move the graph x units to the RIGHT. If the solution for x is negative – move the graph x units to the LEFT.

  41. Note: A dilation of a parallel to the y-axis is the same as a dilation of parallel to the x-axis. • 2. Dilations • a) Parallel to the y-axis – the dilation factor is the number outside the brackets. This can also be described as a dilation from the x-axis. • Parallel to the x-axis – the dilation factor is the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. This can also be described as a dilation from the y-axis.

  42. a) Reflection about the x-axis b) Reflection about the y-axis c) Reflection about both axes d) Reflection about the line 3. Reflections

  43. Reflection about the x-axis

  44. Reflection about the y-axis

  45. Reflection about both axes

  46. Determine the graph of Question 13

  47. Reflection about the x-axis

  48. ANSWER: A Translation of 1 unit parallel to the y-axis

  49. The graph of the function f is obtained from the graph of the function with equation by a reflection in the y-axis followed by a dilation of 2 units from the x-axis. The rule for f is: a) b) c) d) e) Reflection: Dilation: EXTRA QUESTION ANSWER: E
