Lecture Notes • MAV Revision Lecture Series 2011.doc
EXAMINATION 1 Structure of the paper • Short answer questions – 40 marks • Time limit: 60 minutes writing time 15 minutes reading time
Added Content to Exam 1 • General solutions to trigonometric equations • Average value of a function • Functional Equations • Matrices – transformations, transition matrices and steady state (Further Mathematics), solving simultaneous equations (up to 5 unknowns) • (Compound and Double Angle formulae)
Sample VCAA Questions and Frequently Asked Questions • Solutions to VCAA 2010 Sample Questions.doc • mmcasfaqs2011.pdf
EXAMINATION 2 Structure of the paper Part I • 22 multiple choice questions – 22 marks Part II • Extended answer questions – 58 marks • Time limit: 120 minutes writing time 15 minutes reading time
General Advice • No calculator syntax • Always give exact answers unless the question asks for an approximate answer. • Draw graphs properly: scale axes, give coordinates if asked for…… • For questions worth more than one mark show appropriate working. On Exam 2, this is the rule you are using and the answer. • For “show that”questions show all the steps.
Don’t forget to put the multiplication sign between a and x and the b and x on the calculator. E
There are 4 types of relations (Horizontal line: Vertical Line Test) many:many circle 1:many inverse is a function many:1 parabola function 1:1 line function inverse is a function
If they ask for f give the domain and rule. If they ask for f(x) give the rule.
Solving Equations 2010 Exam 2 • If the calculator does not give a solution, just solve the numerator equal to zero.

Don’t flick your graphs back – show asymptotic behaviour • Domain R\{b} • Range R\{c} • Give the equations of the asymptotes • Scale the axes properly
Domain R\{b} • Range y > c

A Check the a value.
New to Exam 1 2010 Note both curves go through the origin. Solve the determinant equal to zero. By-hand B
D By-hand
B Which one is a many:1 function?
Asymptotes of f Swap x and y and solve for y on the calculator. Asymptotes of inverse E
