The process of solving an equation typically involves several steps, including rearranging the equation, isolating or revealing the unknowns, performing operations on the equations, and determining the final value.
Dynamic tasks on solving and checking systems, determining the number of solutions and modelling word problems.
Dynamic incomplete and complete quadratic equations, discriminants, root counts and word modelling.
Dynamic line-parabola systems, intersections, substitution and contextual modelling.
This test focuses on solving rational equations and determining permitted variable values. Students clear denominators, check possible solutions and apply rational equations to word problems and practical situations.
This test covers systems containing linear, quadratic and rational equations. Students use substitution or elimination, verify ordered pairs and interpret the meaning of a solution both algebraically and graphically.
This test covers graphs, periods, ranges and signs of sine, cosine and tangent functions. Tasks also develop solution of elementary trigonometric equations and selection of solutions within a stated interval.
This test focuses on cubic, biquadratic and other higher-degree equations. Students factor expressions, use substitution and verify which candidate values satisfy the original equation.
This test develops methods for equations containing square and cube roots. Tasks require students to determine the domain, raise both sides to a power and check for extraneous solutions introduced during transformation.
This test covers exponential equations and their use in growth and decay models. Students rewrite expressions with a common base, solve equations and interpret percentage, compound and periodic change.
This test focuses on solving several types of logarithmic equations. Tasks apply logarithm properties and the fundamental identity, establish domain restrictions and reject invalid solutions.
This test applies fundamental trigonometric identities and methods for solving equations. Students write general solutions, use periodicity and select the values that belong to a specified angular interval.
