Mathematics Advanced 11–12 (2024): Minor amendment – content point updated

Updated

Content point updated to remove a typographical error.
Found in: Year 11, Working with functions (Algebraic techniques): Content ‘Identify a conjugate of $\sqrt{a} \pm \sqrt{b}$ , and rationalise the denominators of expressions of the form $\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} \pm \sqrt{c}}$ and $\frac{\sqrt{a} \pm \sqrt{d}}{\sqrt{b} \pm \sqrt{c}}$ , where $a$ , $b$ , $c$ and $d$ are positive rational numbers'.

Updated

Content point updated to include ‘differentiable’ in relation to the functions for consistency.
Found in: Year 11, Introduction to differentiation (Calculations with the derivative): Content ‘Apply the quotient rule: if $y = \frac{u}{v}$ , where $u$ and $v$ are both differentiable functions of $x,$ then $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^{2}}$ or if $h (x) = \frac{f (x)}{g (x)}$ then $h' (x) = \frac{g (x) f^{'} (x) - f (x) g^{'} (x)}{[{g (x)]}^{2}}$

Updated

Content group heading updated to replace ‘curve sketching’ with ‘graphing’ to align with syllabus content.

Updated

Content point updated to remove a typographical error.
Found in: Year 11, Polynomials (Sums and products of zeroes of polynomials): Content ‘Prove that if a quartic $P (x) = a x^{4} + b x^{3} + c x^{2} + d x + e$ has four zeroes $α$ , $β$ , $γ$ , $δ$ then $α + β + γ + δ = - \frac{b}{a}$ , $αβ + αγ + αδ + βγ + βδ + γδ = \frac{c}{a}$ , $αβγ + βγδ + γδα + δαβ = - \frac{d}{a}$ and $α β γ δ = \frac{e}{a}$

Mathematics Extension 2 11–12 (2024): Minor amendment – content point updated

Updated

Content point updated to add a restricted value of z.
Found in: Year 12, Introduction to complex numbers (Arithmetic of complex numbers): Content ‘Establish relationships $Re (z) = \frac{z + \overset{̅}{z}}{2}$ and $Im (z) = \frac{z - \overset{̅}{z}}{2 i}$ and $\frac{1}{z} = \frac{\bar{z}}{{(z|}^{2}}$ , $z \neq 0$ , and use them to solve problems'.

Updated

Content point updated to amend the description of displacement.
Found in: Year 12, Applications of calculus to mechanics (Simple harmonic motion): Content ‘Define simple harmonic motion as motion in which acceleration is proportional to, and in the opposite direction to, displacement, that is $\ddot{x} = - n^{2} (x - c)$ , where $x - c$ is the displacement of a particle from the centre of motion at $c$ and $\ddot{x}$ is the acceleration’.

Updated

Content point updated to clarify solutions for simple harmonic motion.
Found in: Year 12, Applications of calculus to mechanics (Simple harmonic motion): Content ‘Verify that $x = A \sin (n t + α) + c$ is a solution to the differential equation for simple harmonic motion, equivalently expressed as $x = A \cos (n t + β) + c$ , or $x = C \sin (nt) + D \cos (n t) + c$ '.

Updated

Content point updated for clarity.

Mathematics Extension 2 11–12 (2024): Minor amendment – glossary definition

Updated

Glossary definition ‘implication’ updated for accuracy.
Found in: Stage 6 glossary: Implication: A relationship between two propositions where the second is a direct consequence of the first. A statement in the form ‘If $P$ then $Q$ ', or ' $P$ implies $Q$ ', represented as $P \Rightarrow Q$ or $P \to Q$ .

Updated

Glossary definition ‘converse’ updated for accuracy.
Found in: Stage 6 glossary: Converse: The converse of a statement ‘If $P$ then $Q$ ' is 'If $Q$ then $P$ '. Extended in Mathematics Extension 2: The converse of $P \to Q$ is $Q \to P$ or $P \leftarrow Q$ . For example, the converse of Pythagoras’ theorem is that if the sum of the squares of 2 sides of a triangle is equal to the square of the third side, then the triangle is right-angled.
