1. For y = (2x² - 1)⁵, what is dy / dx at x = 1?
By the chain rule, dy / dx = 5(2x² - 1)⁴ x 4x. At x = 1, this is 5 x 1⁴ x 4 = 20.

By the chain rule, dy / dx = 5(2x² - 1)⁴ x 4x. At x = 1, this is 5 x 1⁴ x 4 = 20.
Using the product rule, f'(x) = 2xe^x + x^2e^x. At x = 1, f'(1) = 2e + e = 3e.
Factor as (2sin x + 1)(sin x - 1) = 0. Thus sin x = 1 or sin x = -1 / 2. On 0 <= x < 2π, this gives π / 2, 7π / 6, and 11π / 6, so there are 3 solutions.
Choose 2 of the 6 seniors and 2 of the 5 juniors: C(6, 2) x C(5, 2) = 15 x 10 = 150.
Set 320 = 80e^(0.18t), so 4 = e^(0.18t). Hence t = ln 4 / 0.18 = 7.70..., so 7.7 years.
The z-score is (59 - 52) / 7 = 1. Therefore P(X < 59) = Φ(1) = 0.8413.
ACT BSSS Year 11 Specialist Methods practice should make advanced functions, calculus, probability, regression, and inference feel structured rather than guessable. These examples preview that style before the no-login Specialist Methods demo.
Answer questions in a short test-style session.
Test mode keeps answers hidden until you finish the full set.
