InstructionsThe midterm examination is based on Modules 1 to 4 of the Grade 11 Applied Mathematics course. It is worth 20% of your final mark in this course.

TimeYou will have a maximum of 2.5 hours to complete the midterm examination.

Notes You are allowed to bring the following to the examination: pens/pencils (2 or 3 of each), metric and imperial rulers, a graphing and/or scientific calculator, and your Midterm Exam Resource Sheet. Your Midterm Exam Resource Sheet must be handed in with the examination. Graphing technology (either computer software or a graphing calculator) is required to complete this examination.

Show all calculations and formulas used. Use all decimal places in your calculations and round the final answers to the correct number of decimal places. Include units where appropriate. Clearly state your final answer. Final answers without supporting calculations or explanations will not be awarded full marks. Indicate equations and/or keystrokes used in calculations.

When using graphing technology, include a screenshot or printout of graphs or sketch the image and indicate the window settings (maximum and minimum x- and y-values), increments, and axis labels, including units.
