VCE Mathematical MethodsPractice Examination 4

This paper covers

• Circular (trig) functions: modelling periodic tidal motion with sinusoids — amplitude, period, mean, range, and solving trig equations over a domain
• Calculus applied to trig models: derivatives, rates of change, slack water (stationary points), fastest rise/fall (points of inflection), average value via definite integrals
• Probability & statistics in context: binomial distribution (mean/variance), the normal distribution (z-scores), and approximate 95% confidence intervals for a population proportion
• Technology-free fluency: exact-value trig, by-hand product/quotient/chain differentiation, and exact definite integration

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