How to practise this subject
These practice suggestions are editorial guidance from Australian Study Resources.
- Open the 2024 Exam 1, Q1a. Task focus — Differentiate a product of an exponential and a cosine function using the product rule. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Open the 2024 Exam 1, Q2. Task focus — Find the parameter value that makes a pair of simultaneous linear equations with a parameter have no real solution. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Open the 2024 Exam 1, Q3a. Task focus — Sketch a transformed reciprocal-square function labelling its asymptotes and intercepts. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.
Plan your next practice session
Choose one calculation from your practice sequence. Write the quantities and units, show the relationship you used and check the result by substitution or an independent estimate.
How to check calculation working before submitting an answer — includes an original example and a downloadable worksheet.
