Suggested Solutions MaA4NVCO09 Graphs and Functions WARNING: THERE ARE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE TEST
Instructions Test period Resources The test 105 minutes: 8:05-9:50 Monday December 7, 2009 Formula sheet, your personalised formula booklet, ruler, protractor, a graphic calculator, and a lexicon. A single answer is not enough. It is also expected that you write down what you do that you explain/motivate your reasoning that you draw any necessary illustrations. Try all of the problems. It can be relatively easy, even towards the end of the test, to receive some points for partial solutions. A positive evaluation can be given even for unfinished solutions. Score and mark levels The maximum number of points you can receive for each solution is indicated after each problem. If a problem can give 2 Pass-points and 1 Pass with distinction-point this is written [2/1]. Some problems are marked with , which means that they more than other problems offer opportunities to show knowledge that can be related to the criteria for Pass with Special Distinction in Assessment Criteria 2000. Lower limit for the mark on the test G: Pass: At least 20 points VG: At least 40 points 11 of which are VG-points MVG: At least 45 points 22 of which are VG-points. High quality of calculations and deep level of understanding must be illustrated through out the test, especially in problems marked by .
