Calculating devices MUST meet the requirements of the Calculator Use Policy. Before an
examination begins, devices must be removed from their cases and placed on the students’ desks
for inspection by a mathematics or science teacher. Cases must be placed on the floor and left
there for the duration of the examination. Students using a standard scientific or graphing
calculator must clear all information stored in its memory before the examination begins.
Devices such as cell phones, tablets, and iPods may be used as a calculating device if they meet
the requirements of the Calculator Use Policy. The school or writing center must be able to
lock and control the device using a feature such as Guided Access, or a management software that
limits its functionality to permissible graphing and financial applications (apps) with similar
functionality to an approved graphing calculator. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure
their device complies with the Calculator Use Policy in advance of the departmental examination
session.
Do not spend too much time on any one question. Read each question carefully.
The examination consists of 38 multiple-choice questions followed by 7 numeric response questions

of equal value which will be machine scored. Record your answers on the Student Examination
Form which is provided. Each multiple-choice question has four suggested answers, one of which
is better than the others. Select the best answer and record it on the Student Examination Form
as shown in the example below:

Use an ordinary HB pencil to mark your answers on the Student Examination Form. If you
change your mind about an answer, be sure to erase the first mark completely. There should be
only one answer marked for each question. Be sure there are no stray pencil marks on your
answer sheet. If you need space for rough work, use the space in the examination booklet beside
each question.
Do not fold either the Student Examination Form or the examination booklet. Check
that your personal information on the Student Examination Form is correct and
complete. Make any necessary changes, and fill in any missing information. Be sure to
complete the Month and Day of Your Birth section.

1. D.
The parameters a, b, h, and k in the function y  a  f (b( x  h))  k correspond

to the following transformations:
 a corresponds to a vertical stretch about the x-axis.

 b corresponds to a horizontal stretch about the y-axis.
 h corresponds to a horizontal translation.
 k corresponds to a vertical translation.
Thus, when parameter h is changed, the graph translates to the left or right,
thus undergoing a horizontal translation.

To translate a function 1 unit to the right, each individual x must have

a value of 1 subtracted from it. This means that y  f ( x ) will become
y  f ( x  1).
To translate a function 2 units down, the entire equation must have a

value of 2 subtracted from it. This means that y  f ( x  1) will become
y  f ( x  1)  2 or g( x )  f ( x  1)  2

A relation is a function only if there is only one value of y in the range for
each value of x in the domain. A graph of a relation will be a function if it
passes the vertical line test. Options A and B both pass the vertical line test
and these relations are, therefore, functions.
A relation will have an inverse that is a function if there is only one value of x
in the domain for each value of y in the range. The graph of the original
function will pass the horizontal line test if the inverse is also a function.
Options B and D both pass the horizontal line test and the inverses of these
relations are, therefore, functions.
The only option that passes both the vertical and the horizontal line tests is
B.

Each graph has a y-intercept of 1, a horizontal asymptote of y  0, and

depending on the value of a, the function may be increasing, decreasing, or
constant (if a  1). Thus the only statement that is always true is B.

The function f ( x )  x 3  3x  2 is a cubic function (an odd degree) with a

positive leading coefficient, and therefore will extend down into quadrant III
and up into quadrant I.
Factoring the function completely results in f ( x )  ( x  1)2 ( x  2). The roots of

this equation are x  1, which has a multiplicity of 2, and x  2, which has
a multiplicity of 1. Therefore, the graph will touch, but not cross, the x-axis
at x  1, and will cross the x-axis at x  2.
15. D.
There is a value (3) being added to each individual x so the graph will shift 3

Graphing y  x   4 gives the graph shown below. The graph crosses

Functions will have vertical asymptotes along lines where they are

The phase shift (horizontal translation) is represented by the value of c in

y  a cos b( x  c)  d.
 If c  0, the phase shift will be to the right.

 If c  0, the phase shift will be to the left.

For y  2 cos 3      2, the value of c is  . Therefore, the phase shift

The equation in question must have the following characteristics:

 An amplitude of 4 means the possible values of a in
y  a cos b( x  c)  d are 4 and  4. Options C and D meet this criteria.
 A phase shift (horizontal translation) that moves the graph of y  cos 

 A vertical displacement of 2 units down. This means that the value of

 Andrew has a correct derivation using the Pythagorean Theorem.
 Becky’s derivation is not correct as she attempted to use the distance

formula but made incorrect substitutions for the second point. To be
fully correct, the derivation is:
d ( x 2  x1 )2  ( y2  y1 )2
1 ( x  0)2  (  y  0)2
1 ( x )2  (  y ) 2
1 x 2  y2
12  x 2  y2
1  x 2  y2
 Colin’s derivation is not fully correct as his circle has a radius of 2 and
is not a unit circle. Thus, his substitution for r is incorrect.
 Darla has a correct derivation using the distance formula.
Andrew and Darla are the 2 students with the correct derivations.
