interpret the derivative as the slope or gradient of a tangent line of the graph of \(y=f(x)\)

establish the formulas \(\frac d{dx}\left(\sin x\right)=\cos x,\;\text{ and }\frac d{dx}\left(\cos x\right)=-\sin x\) by numerical estimations of the limits and informal proofs based on geometric constructions

establish and use the formula \(\int e^xdx=e^x+c\)

ACMMM127

interpret \(\int_a^bf\left(x\right)dx\;\) as a sum of signed areas

establish and use the formula \(\int\frac1xdx=\ln\;x\;+c\) for \(x>0\)

ACMSM067

define the imaginary number i as a root of the equation \(x^2=-1\)

ACMMM077

interpret the difference quotient \(\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f(x)}h\) as the average rate of change of a function \(f\)

ACMMM081

examine the behaviour of the difference quotient \(\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f(x)}h\) as \(h\rightarrow0\) as an informal introduction to the concept of a limit

ACMMM095

sketch curves associated with simple polynomials; find stationary points, and local and global maxima and minima; and examine behaviour as \(x\rightarrow\infty\) and \(x\rightarrow-\infty\)

ACMSM048

convert sums \(\mathrm a\cos\mathrm x+\mathrm b\;\sin\mathrm x\) to \(\mathrm R\;\cos{(\mathrm x\pm\mathrm\alpha)}\) or \(\mathrm R\sin{(\mathrm x\pm\mathrm\alpha)}\) and apply these to sketch graphs, solve equations of the form \(\mathrm a\cos\mathrm …

ACMMM020

recognise features of the graphs of \(x^2+y^2=r^2\) and \(\left(x-a\right)^2+\left(y-b\right)^2=r^2\), including their circular shapes, their centres and their radii

ACMMM107

use the increments formula: \(\delta y\cong\frac{dy}{dx}\times\delta x\) to estimate the change in the dependent variable \(y\) resulting from changes in the independent variable \(x\)

ACMMM130

understand and use the theorem \(F'\left(x\right)=\frac d{dx}\left(\int_a^xf\left(t\right)dt\right)=f\left(x\right)\), and illustrate its proof geometrically

ACMSM049

prove and apply other trigonometric identities such as \(\cos3\mathrm x=4\;\mathrm c\mathrm o\mathrm s^{3\;}\mathrm x-3\cos\mathrm x\)

ACMSM137

examine the concept of the sample mean X as a random variable whose value varies between samples where X is a random variable with mean μ and the standard deviation σ

ACSCH021

Isotopes are atoms of an element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons; different isotopes of elements are represented using atomic symbols (for example, \({}_6^{12}C\), \({}_6^{13}C\)

ACSCH024

The relative atomic mass of an element is the ratio of the weighted average mass per atom of the naturally occurring form of the element to \(\frac1{12}\) the mass of an atom of carbon-12; relative atomic masses reflect the isotopic composition of the …
