Mathematics 8300/2H November 2020

The exam paper emphasizes higher-tier mathematics with calculator use, covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability, and real-world applications. Arithmetic includes percentages, ratios, bounds, unit conversions, and financial calculations. Algebra focuses on solving equations, quadratic functions, graph transformations, simultaneous equations, and algebraic proofs. Geometry involves circle theorems, transformations, trigonometry, volumes, areas, and gradients. Probability tasks address tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, iterative probabilities, and expected outcomes. Real-world applications include proportional reasoning, optimization, speed-distance-time calculations, and cumulative frequency analysis. Additional topics cover constructing tangents, vector operations, inequalities, and interpreting statistical data. Keywords: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, probability, transformations, real-world applications, quadratic functions, circle theorems.
