VCE Maths Methods Exam 1 - 06/11/19 - Discussion/Questions/Solutions

Does anyone know what could be the number of solutions for f(g(x)) + g(f(x)) = 0?

CAS comes up with 1 sol. I didn't have time and guessed 2

Will there be a copy of the exam? I did methods last year and curious to see what this year's exam is like compared to last years

ohh i guessed it as 0  . Thanks for the solution

literally, it was bad. i was expecting 35/40 above but it is impossible now. even i feel like papers from 2017,2018 and the 2019nht are easier than this. this paper is so much different than the previous. when i read through i thought it's quite easy but when actually doing it, it feels different. the questions are just strange.(((
does anyone have the same feeling?
btw, what would be the A+ cutoff line?34/35?or lower?

I literally feel the exact same way!!!! I felt confident during reading time and then stuffed up big time. I dont think I did any of the domian and range questions right, stuffed up the quartic (I paniced) and did do the diff right for the area question (paniced again)

[KiNSKi01]

Yo what was the answer for the domain in the quartic function question

[SIN0042]

What was the answer for the probability question about pegs?

was x^2(x^2-1) the equation of the quartic function ?

[ProfitBirb]

Yo what was the answer for the domain in the quartic function question

negative infinity to negative 1 all in round brackets, according to cas. exact opposite of what I wrote. rip

for the area i just got half way right. for the quartic question, i got all wrong:((( thats 4 marks!!!i feel so bad now. i feel like im getting around 32-33/40. and I thought it was gonna be easy so I didn't rush through but when I realised the questions at the back were quite hard, there was only 25mins left.

What did everyone get for the probability question 3 with the bias coin question.

I got 4/9 for3a but I’m not sure if this is correct

[xdmemeguy]

yeah i got 4/9 for 3a 3/4 for 3b

[Robespierre]

For the quartic, would f(x)=x^2(x-1)(x+1) still be acceptable for one mark or does it need to be simplified to x^2(x^2-1)?
