VCE Further Maths Exam 1 - 01/11/19 - Discussion/Questions/Solutions

[Adapt]

Ugh I didn’t see the September point for Q15 so I chose 111, if I only lose that mark, but get 100% in exam 2, is 50 still possible? I’m rank 1 in my cohort with 100% sac scores

For Graphs and relations isn't the last question D , cause they meet when the t=4.78 when you sub that into Alan's equation you get 517.6 which means that he would have walked 518m to the nearest mere.

For Alan’s equation, his distance is how far he is from his home, so at that point, he walked 900-518 m

My answers:

Core: BBDDC DBBEA ABEED CDCAC CECB
Matrices: CDEEB AAA
Networks: ECCAB BAD

Judging from others' responses it seems like I missed Matrices Q8 and Networks Q6 & 7

I got 35/40 in exam 1, whats the most i can drop in exam 2, and can i still get a 40 as my study score?

[spencerrachel]

Here are the answers to core, matrices and graphs and relations. I've cross checked them with a bunch of friends, so we think it's 100%, pls let know if any wrong ones in it.

Core:
BBDDCDBBEAABEEDCDCACCECB

Matrices:
CDEEBAAE

Graphs and Relations:
BDEDBCEC

How did you do Question 8 in Graphs and Relations? I got D but it might be wrong

Definitely possible. But also depends on how other people go in your cohort

Since getting around 36/40 and 54/60 gets you a 40, and exam 1 marks are worth 1.5x as much as exam 2 marks (due to each exam giving 33% contribution to SS but exam 2 having 1.5x the marks), I'd say 55.5/60 would do it - so aim for 56/60.

However, it depends on your ranking, your cohort, and the difficulty of this year's exam, so take that prediction with a grain of salt.

i got 25/40.
if get 50/60 in exam 2 will i get 35+ plus?

[Sherlock.Holmes]

If you get 34/40 and are in top 3 ranking, what's the highest studying score possible?

Im not seeing enough people discuss the answer to question 7 of the Matrices Module. I feel the ambiguous wording of the question would make it this years multiple correct answer question. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I got A, and that is because I interpreted the phrase "directly to one other person" as any other person that isn't Y. so in my opinion it is zero, anyone care to discuss it with me? I have the full exam sitting right in front of me.

I chose A as well, after switching between A and B 3 times. I hope they allow both A and B to be correct, I'll be annoyed if they don't

It has to be A, the question's asking how many ways Y can send a message to W by sending it directly to one other person, so it has to be with a two-way matrix, right?

I don't get the other interpretation

I don't get the other interpretation

how i interpreted it was

"In how many ways can Y get a message to W by sending it directly to one other person"

How many ways can Y get a message to W by sending it to any one person that is not Y (including W)

so i picked B because i interpreted like that, as Y can directly send a message to W

Yeah, our cohort was divided exact 50/50 on that question. Interesting to see what they gonna do with this question
