ACSPH087

Models and theories are contested and refined or replaced when new evidence challenges them, or when a new model or theory has greater explanatory power

ACSPH123

Models and theories are contested and refined or replaced when new evidence challenges them, or when a new model or theory has greater explanatory power

The historical context of the interpretations and representations and why these have changed over time, including romantic representations, the model of generalship, and changing ideas about violence and imperialism

ACMMM014

recognise features of the graphs of \(y=x^n\) for \(n\in\boldsymbol N,\) \(n=-1\) and \(n=½\), including shape, and behaviour as \(x\rightarrow\infty\) and \(x\rightarrow-\infty\)

ACMMM156

recognise the qualitative features of the graph of \(y=\log_ax\) \((a>1)\) including asymptotes, and of its translations \(y=\log_ax+b\) and \(y=\log_a{(x+c)}\)

ACMMM179

define the approximate margin of error \(E=z\sqrt[{}]{(\widehat p(1-\widehat p)/n}\) and understand the trade-off between margin of error and level of confidence

ACMGM043

construct and analyse a straight-line graph to model a given linear relationship; for example, modelling the cost of filling a fuel tank of a car against the number of litres of petrol required.

ACMGM094

use a recurrence relation to model a compound interest loan or investment, and investigate (numerically or graphically) the effect of the interest rate and the number of compounding periods on the future value of the loan or investment

ACSBL110

Homeostasis involves a stimulus-response model in which change in external or internal environmental conditions is detected and appropriate responses occur via negative feedback; in vertebrates, receptors and effectors are linked via a control centre …

ACSPH026

The nuclear model of the atom describes the atom as consisting of an extremely small nucleus, which contains most of the atom’s mass and is made up of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons surrounded by negatively charged electrons

ACSPH141

The Standard Model is based on the premise that all matter in the universe is made up from elementary matter particles called quarks and leptons; quarks experience the strong force, leptons do not

ACSPH142

The Standard Model explains three of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak and electromagnetic forces) in terms of an exchange of force-carrying particles called gauge bosons; each force is mediated by a different type of gauge boson

ACMMM176

simulate repeated random sampling, for a variety of values of \(p\) and a range of sample sizes, to illustrate the distribution of \(\widehat p\) and the approximate standard normality of \(\frac{\widehat p\;-p}{\sqrt[{}]{(\widehat p(1-\widehat p)/n}}\) …

ACMSM055

define and use basic linear transformations: dilations of the form \((\mathrm x,\mathrm y)\longrightarrow({\mathrm\lambda}_1\mathrm x,{\mathrm\lambda}_2\mathrm y)\) , rotations about the origin and reflection in a line which passes through the origin, …

ACMGM016

use matrices, including matrix products and powers of matrices, to model and solve problems; for example, costing or pricing problems, squaring a matrix to determine the number of ways pairs of people in a communication network can communicate with each …

ACMGM047

interpret piece-wise linear and step graphs used to model practical situations; for example, the tax paid as income increases, the change in the level of water in a tank over time when water is drawn off at different intervals and for different periods …

ACMGM077

use first-order linear recurrence relations to model and analyse (numerically or graphically only) practical problems; for example, investigating the growth of a trout population in a lake recorded at the end of each year and where limited recreational …

ACMSM127

use numerical integration using technology \(f\left(t\right)=\lambda e^{-\lambda t}\) for \(t\geq0\) of the exponential random variable with parameter \(\lambda>0,\), and use the exponential random variables and associated probabilities and quantiles …

ACSBL029

Models of ecosystem interactions (for example, food webs, successional models) can be used to predict the impact of change and are based on interpretation of and extrapolation from sample data (for example, data derived from ecosystem surveying techniques); …

ACSPH140

On the atomic level, energy and matter exhibit the characteristics of both waves and particles (for example, Young’s double slit experiment is explained with a wave model but produces the same interference pattern when one photon at a time is passed through …
