Examples

Equations B (Path)

MAO-WM-01
develops understanding and fluency in mathematics through exploring and connecting mathematical concepts, choosing and applying mathematical techniques to solve problems, and communicating their thinking and reasoning coherently and clearly
MA5-EQU-P-01
solves monic quadratic equations, linear inequalities and cubic equations of the form ${a x}^{3} = k$ (Path: Adv)

Equations B (Path)

Stn (Standard), Adv (Advanced) and Ext (Extension) have been used to suggest paths for related Stage 6 courses.

Solve monic quadratic equations

Solve quadratic equations of the form $a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ , limited to $a = 1$ , using factors

Solve cubic equations

Determine that for any value of $k$ there is a unique value of $x$ that solves a cubic equation of the form $a x^{3} = k$ where $a \neq 0$
Solve cubic equations of the form $a x^{3} = k$ , leaving answers in exact form and as decimal approximations

Solve linear inequalities and graph their solutions on a number line

Represent Loading on a Loading
Solve linear inequalities, including those with negative numbers, and Loading the solutions
Recognise that an inequality has an infinite number of solutions unless other restrictions are introduced
