VCE Mathematical MethodsPractice Examination 12

This paper covers

• Exponential and logarithmic models for compound growth (index/log laws, e^x, solving exponential and log equations technology-free)
• Calculus of growth models: differentiation of exponential/product forms, rates of change, antidifferentiation and definite integrals
• Financial modelling with first-order recurrence relations (reducing-balance loans, annuities) and continuous vs periodic compounding using CAS
• Probability and statistics in a finance context: the normal distribution (z-scores, percentiles) and the binomial distribution

Students are permitted to bring into the examination the materials normally allowed for this subject. Answer all questions in the spaces provided.
