Mathematical Methods (CAS) Exam VCE Units 1 & 2 is written to precisely match the 2006-2012 Mathematical Methods Computer Algebra System (CAS) Study Design and is completely CAS-enabled.

This workbook contains a series of practice tests of graduated difficulty for students studying Units 1 & 2 VCE Mathematical Methods Computer Algebra System (CAS). It comes with a separate Solutions CD so teachers can control access to answers.

Test 1 Polynomial functions, factorisation, remainder and factor theorems, polynomial equations, y f (x) notation, power functions, graphs of polynomial and power functions, transformations including matrix applications and simultaneous linear equations

Test 2 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, symbolic notation, co-ordinate geometry, inverse relations, square root and circle relations

Test 3 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, matrix algebra, rates of change, average and instantaneous rates of change, motion graphs, displacement-time and velocity-time graphs

Test 4 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, rates of change, introductory probability, simple and compound events, probability diagrams, addition and multiplication rules of probability, conditional probability and independence

Test 5 Probability, polynomial and power functions, functions and relative rates of change, counting principles, Pascal’s triangle and transition matrices

Test 6 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, matrix algebra, exponential and logarithmic functions and their graphs

Test 7 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, exponential and logarithmic functions, circular functions and their graphs

Test 8 Polynomial and power functions, functions and relations, rates of change, differential and integral calculus of polynomial and power functions, applications of differential and integral calculus

Test 9 Unit 1 bonus detachable examinations

Test 10 Units 1 and 2 bonus detachable examination – with emphasis on Unit 2
Two exams:
Exam 1: Technology-free examination
Exam 2: Technology assumed examination
This examination mirrors the Mathematical Methods (CAS) Units 3 & 4 end-of-year examination.
