6 of 6 topics shown · 0 selected for your plan

Unit 3 — Topic 3.1: Further differentiation and applications

Differentiate exponential and trigonometric functions using product, quotient and chain rules. Use first and second derivatives to analyse rates, concavity, stationary points and optimisation.

Unit 3 — Topic 3.2: Integrals

Find antiderivatives, use initial conditions, and connect definite integrals with signed area and the fundamental theorem. Apply integration to areas, accumulated change and linear motion.

Unit 3 — Topic 3.3: Discrete random variables

Represent discrete probability distributions and calculate expected value, variance and standard deviation. Model Bernoulli trials and binomial counts and examine linear transformations.

Unit 4 — Topic 4.1: The logarithmic function

Use logarithms as indices, apply logarithm laws and interpret transformed graphs and scales. Differentiate natural logarithmic functions and recognise integrals of the form f′/f.

Unit 4 — Topic 4.2: Continuous random variables and the normal distribution

Use densities and cumulative distribution functions to calculate probabilities and moments. Apply continuous and normal models, standardisation and inverse-normal calculations.

Unit 4 — Topic 4.3: Interval estimates for proportions

Examine random sampling, bias and variation in sample proportions. Construct approximate confidence intervals, interpret coverage and compare confidence, sample size and margin of error.
