This paper covers
- Unit 3 differentiation of exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions via chain, product and quotient rules
- Applications of differentiation: rates of change, kinematics, stationary points, concavity and optimisation
- Introduction to integration: standard antiderivatives, reverse chain rule, definite integrals and area
- Discrete random variables: Bernoulli sequences, the binomial distribution and expected value
- Unit 4 integration extended to area between curves and the trapezoidal rule for numerical integration
- 2D and 3D trigonometry using the sine rule, cosine rule and bearings
- Continuous random variables and the normal distribution: z-score standardisation, technology probabilities and inverse normal
- Inferential statistics: sampling distribution of the sample proportion, confidence intervals, margin of error and sample size
- Real-world logarithmic modelling of bushfire spread with written contextual conclusions (Complex Unfamiliar)
- Correct QCAA notation, constant of integration, units and evaluative justification across all six assessment objectives
