VCE Further Mathematics 2 (NHT) 2017

I have a question about drawing the graph in module 4
Question 1c ii.

I also attached the answer for the value of value of k from the previous question

Thanks

Hey, so when a questions asks " use RECURIONS to show value after x years" - do i use the recurance realtion or the rule for the nth term formula?

Pen or pencil for the exam?

Core: Financial Recursions

I just had a quick question about financial stuff.
If they don't give you much information in the question for amortisation tables, what are various ways to find out the different columns in the table? Like the interest, payment, principal reduction ,etc,etc

I can't help so much here, but I have a couple of links that might help (try the given Further formula sheet and this amortisation table site). Hope that helps.

Calculator Help

So, I was wondering for Geometry whether VCAA can use angles in degrees, minutes and seconds and if so how would you convert on the CAS...
Because it was on a TSSM practice exam I did and I had never come across it before

This video should help. Hopefully you have the same calculator. If you have the ClassPad, try this site instead.

Graphs and Relations (??)

When we are using an objective function and are trying to find the maximum or minimum, is it a given that the maximum or minimum point will always be a corner point of the feasible region?

Not sure what you mean here.
If you're talking about the Graphs and Relations module and you have a bunch of linear inequalities while looking for maxima or minima, they don't necessarily have to be in corners of the feasible region. VCAA tries to find equations that make the maxima/ maxima near them though, if they aren't, due to the fact that they'll likely make the questions about the same difficulty as the other modules.

NHT 2017 E2 Graphs and Relations Question 1cii

VCE Further Mathematics 2 (NHT) 2017

I have a question about drawing the graph in module 4
Question 1c ii.

I also attached the answer for the value of value of k from the previous question

Not sure what your question was, but my understanding of the question is that they want you to graph it when under the 1/x transformation, so you're essentially going 60 / (1/x) = 60x. Thus the answer.

Technical Questions

Pen or pencil for the exam?

Either is fine as long as you don't write lightly in pencil and don't use anything lighter than HB. Pen is generally preferred due to its legibility.

Hey, so when a questions asks " use RECURIONS to show value after x years" - do i use the recurance realtion or the rule for the nth term formula?

In the case of "using recurrsions", use the recurrence relation to work out the answer (nth term formula should give the same answer though), they're asking you to "show", so show your calculations for the years leading up to the xth year.

Only when a question asks you to "write down a recurrence relation" or "rule" it will matter which formula you write/use.

Can you lose marks for not including units for residuals? (this was a two mark question) - attached is 2017 nht exam solutions

Can someone please help me with 2009 exam 2 VCAA question 4.c
Reducing balance method by $11 046.83 . answer is $11 046.83 as the 'greater depreciation amount' but i don't get what it means by this & how they worked it out??
Thanks heaps1!! !
someone please?!?!

[Joseph41]

Congratulations, everybody.

For all exam discussion, please head over to this thread.

[Kendog]

Where can i get the answers for exam 1

Where can i get the answers for exam 1

Right here.

P.S. Welcome to ATAR Notes!

If I got a mid A in sacs, mid b on exam one but a low c on exam two what study score would I be looking at

[winged dragon 151]

Does any one have answers for linear graphs and relations exam 2 2017? I think I might have dropped 3 marks tops in that exam (rest I did terribly)

[idontknow__]

I don't see why the Further kids have to miss out on their own question thread! Post anything you're stuck with here and we'll try our best to help you out.

It might be a good idea to sticky this thread, just like the Methods and Specialist ones.

Can you estimate my SS ? 37/40 exam 1 and 54 or 53/60 for exam 2

[BaileyG14]

Does anyone happen to have the worked solutions to 2017 exam 2? Cant find them anywhere.

SS Enquiry (Further)

Mid B+ (maybe scaled to low A?) in a weak cohort
Mid B-low B+ Exam 1
High A+- Exam 2

35 scaled possible?
