Exam-style practice (harder): Maths Advanced multiple choice quiz

14 questions. Pick an answer and you'll see why right away. Options are shuffled each attempt, and the review at the end links each missed question to the dot point to revise.

  1. The point (4, 5) lies on the graph of y=f(x)y = f(x). The graph is transformed to y=2f(x−3)+1y = 2f(x - 3) + 1.

    What are the coordinates of the image of (4, 5)?

  2. Let f(x)=x2e3xf(x) = x^2 e^{3x}.

    What is the value of f′(1)f'(1)?

  3. What is the total area enclosed between the curve y=x2−4y = x^2 - 4, the x-axis and the lines x=0x = 0 and x=3x = 3?

  4. A function has derivative f′(x)=(x−1)2(x+2)f'(x) = (x - 1)^2(x + 2).

    Which statement correctly describes the stationary points of y=f(x)y = f(x)?

  5. How many solutions does the equation 2sin⁡(2x)=12\sin(2x) = 1 have in the domain 0≤x≤2π0 \le x \le 2\pi?

  6. Which expression gives the exact solution of 3x+1=5x3^{x+1} = 5^x?

    Which expression gives the balance at the end of the 24th month?

  9. For 40 students, x is hours of gaming per week (from 0 to 12) and y is a test score out of 60. The correlation coefficient is r=−0.92r = -0.92 and the least-squares regression line is y=58.4−3.1xy = 58.4 - 3.1x.

    Which statement is correct?
