2022 VCAA Mathematical Methods Exam 1 Solutions

This document contains solutions to exam questions on mathematical methods. The key points are: 1) Question 6ci solves the equation 2 sin 2(x - a) = -2 sin 2x for a, finding that a = π/2. 2) Question 7 calculates the area under a function g(x) on the interval [0,20] as 200 cm^2, and notes that joining two tile types A and B forms a continuous curve. 3) Question 8c finds that the average value of a function f(x) has a maximum of 1 when k = π/2, for 0 ≤ k ≤ 2.
