It was much much quicker doing this one! I think I like this new format. Congratulations on smashing Flow! Here’s hoping the next exam is a nice one too.

Thanks for this! i know you don’t know for certain but do you reckon exam 2 will focus on things that weren’t in the exam today as much like leslie matrices, crashing, EST and LST and amortisation and things like that?

[@MaffsGuru]

To be honest I don’t know. One year they assessed exactly the same things on both papers. Which was crazy. There hasn’t been crashing yet. The Leslie matrix question was very easy. There wasn’t much challenge in the Finance questions. So I imagine you would be more likely to see these things in Paper 2. I also think they need to make Paper 2 a little harder.

Hi! Thanks for your comment and kind words. The Hungarian Software can be downloaded by teachers and put onto your CAS using the Teacher Software. So it might be best to ask your teacher to put it on. I know there is a student software package too but don't have any experience in using it.

For question 7 do the points we pick have to be on the line, or is it two random dots, or is it two points on the regression line

[@MaffsGuru]

The two points you choose must be on the line as you are looking to get the equation of the line from those two points. My suggestion is always choose two point which are on the line AND which cross through two points which are really easy to read from the graph. They don't have to be dots on the line. I hope this helps :)

[@laocha333]

Hi, thank you for the solutions. But I think you might have made one mistake. For question 33, as it is an undirected graph, edges go both ways. So in that case, there should be a cycle, or multiple cycles in that graph.

[@MaffsGuru]

I don’t really agree and all the teachers and students I have checked with agree with my answer to question 33. a cycle is basically a loop but which passes through more than one point. There is not a way to pass through the points and return to one without repeating.

[@krishsingh3741]

for question 13 it said the time series is smoothed using seven median smoothing. doesn't that mean that graph is already been smoothed and we just have to read it.

This was discussed on Facebook and I think the consensus was that the graph was raw data and was ready to be smoothed.

[@joeloakley7609]

Thanks for this great work! With qu 22 , just for the process (as the answer is correct- to add $2.47 to $2611.65) don't you need to add the interest on? If the amount was larger it might have made a difference to your answer. But because it was a tiny amount, the 3.9% interest only added altered it from 2.465 to 2.473 so they both round to 2.47. As it was, both the pre and post interest answers were the same when rounded. But the process should include adding the interest to the final payment as just adding it won't usually work. So you set n=1 and include FV as 0, I as 3.9 and find the Pmt?

[@MaffsGuru]

I will certainly take a look. I’m fairly sure the approach I used was correct. As the 300th payment still has something left to pay and hence I need to add this to my final payment.

[@joeloakley7609]

Ah, yes. So you make the 300th payment not a 301st payment. That makes sense. @@MaffsGuru

[@MaffsGuru]

@@joeloakley7609 yes. I hate the way the textbooks explain it. If the loan is due to be paid out at 300 payments, then just look at the over payment or underpayment and adjust accordingly.

For question 40, I used the minimum cuts for maximum flows method...and adjusted accordingly with each change. I still got E, but for the change to A, I got an increase of 6 as the maximum flow would become 29 (the new minimum cut). (cutting through DE, DC, AC, GF, GH-total of 29). Is this right? You got an increase of 1. Thanks!

[@MaffsGuru]

Hi. That's a really good question. One day, I will have a look at what you are asking and see if I can work it out. I don't really understand what you mean by "minimum cuts for maximum flow method" ... sorry. But if you got the same answer, then your method obviously works :)

[@joeloakley7609]

For qu 23, I found it easier to sub Po and Pn+1 with a, as it's a perpetuity and these amounts stay constant. Then you get a=R x a-d Solve and R = (a+d)/a Is this method right?

[@MaffsGuru]

This is certainly another way of doing it. A great approach which will certainly help others.

[@ArshdeepSingh-m3p5v]

Just a Quick one I also answered A for Question 25 at 34:49 but I did have to eliminate all other options first due to the fact it said "the temperature was" and not "the [Maximum] temperature was" I really thought VCAA was trying to trick me but I guess not haha

Q37 is much easier done using eulers with edges being 12 as there are 24 values in the matrix representing connections, then just use eulers formula

Agreed! But at least I've shown there is another way to do it too :)

It is easier that way but as the matrix elements add to 20 there are actually 10 edges not 12. v-e+f = 2 5-10+f=2 so f=7

When you reverse the flow you add a new route for 10 more people. If we look at the paths which go through the new route, we see can can squeeze another 7 people through. As this was more than any other by providing more people it was the correct answer. I hope this helps.

If you learnt min cut=max flow...you make the adjustment and then it creates a new min cut of 30, which then increases the max flow to 30, which is an increase of 7 on the original 23.

[@jademackenzie-s4m]

Our school uses you as a resource!

[@MaffsGuru]

[@OliverWeir-z3s]

[@MaffsGuru]

I am going to say sorry as it sounds like you weren’t expecting that. There is always Monday. Let me know if there is anything more I can do to help.

[@Charlieedwards1222]

Is 37/38 out of 40 a A+?

[@MaffsGuru]

We really won’t know until the exams are marked and the boundaries are set. It’s just a waiting game now.

[@oliverwebster4538]

35/40 was A+ last year

[@vics046]

is 35/40 an a+

[@EverythingHP]

depends on the year. you won’t really know until results are released

[@MaffsGuru]

Here here!

[@zanejames5557]

U might be a little off my guess is 36 (don’t take my word for it). Only because it wasn’t a hard exam, but there were questions on there that would trick some people so I don’t think it would be 37+

[@neelgera9135]

I got 39/40, absolutely gutted You think I can still get a 50 if I full mark Exam 2?

[@MaffsGuru]

I really don’t know to be honest. We can’t tell with this crazy VCE system. Just smash Paper 2 and see what happens.

May as well repeat year 12

[@rexwindmill]

What do you reckon is the best way to revise for part 2?

[@MaffsGuru]

Exactly the same way you did for Paper 1. The chances are there will be repeated content. But as there wasn't crashing, I imagine that will be on there. The Leslie Matrix question on Paper 1 wasn't too challenging and there was no matrix algebra. So perhaps make sure you know how to do this. And consolidate anything you feel you didn't get right on Paper 1. Wishing you the very best of luck though.

[@rexwindmill]

@@MaffsGuru I left revision quite late for part 1 as I had to study for PE as well. But I can say your 2022 exam walkthrough helped get around an additional 5 more marks which is huge. I'm gonna do the same for part 2.

[@MaffsGuru]

@@rexwindmill that's really good to hear! At least someone is watching my content lol. Spend the weekend binging all the rest of the videos and I hope you'll smash Paper 2 :)

[@rexwindmill]

@@MaffsGuru No doubt

[@ch4rwx]

[@MaffsGuru]

Congratulations!!! Wishing you the very best of luck for Monday!!

[@emanyoussef9977]

[@MaffsGuru]

I am really sorry to read this. But please don't give up. There is still Monday for you to smash it. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do. Wishing you the very best of luck.
