Higher Maths

Here are your Banker Questions

Make sure you can do them thoroughly.

That's about all there is time for.

I suggest you also make sure you are familiar with the following topics:

Nested Division and factorising polynomials.

Using the discriminant to determine the nature of roots
Using the discriminant to determine the condition for equal roots.
Using the discriminant and quadratic inequality graphs to determine conditions for real roots.

Sketching graphs of derived functions.

Recurrence Relations and working with them as algebraic equations.
Forming recurrence relations and finding the limits.

Standard Integral - Reverse of the chain rule.
Integrating sine and cosine - including where the chain rule has been used.

Differentiation - Using the chain rule for algebraic and trigonometric functions.
Velocity and acceleration calculations - both differentiation and integration.

Graphs of related functions.
Recognising trigonometric graphs e.g. y = a sin bx + c

Finding equation of a tangent to a circle.
Using discriminant to show a line is a tangent to a circle.

Compound angles, exact values and right angled triangles e.g. show cos(x + y) = 63/65 etc.

It appears that some of you cannot access the Macromedia Flash Paper files for the banker questions, the Higher tutorials on Indices, Surds; and the Credit revision topics. I have now included pdf versions of these which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader. These are underneath the relevant links.

The PowerPoint PPT and PPS files should be downloaded first.
Choose SAVE and then when downloaded, run them locally.
