MFM2P1 – Foundations of Mathematics 10
Grade 10 Applied Mathematics - Final Exam Preparation 2015
Riverdale Collegiate Institute
Exam Date _________________________________________
Notes:
1. The final exam is worth 30% of the final course as mandated by the Ministry of Education.
2. The final exam is one and a half hours (1.5 hours) in duration and will cover topics from the entire year
as outlined in the course outline for MFM2P1.
3. Students will have the use of an aid sheet during the final exam.
4. Students are responsible for bringing a scientific calculator, pen, pencil, ruler, and eraser to the final
examination.
Examination preparation suggestions:
1. Your notes
 Make sure that through your notebook is organized and that you have complete all of the assigned
homework questions.
 Highlight any key terms/ideas or formulas in your notebook to record on your aid sheet to help you
during the examination.
2. Your Tests, Quizzes and Assignments
 Organize your quizzes, tests, and assignments by unit and topic.
 Go through your quizzes, tests, and assignments. Pick out the questions that you didn’t get correct
and redo the questions to get the correct answers. If you are having difficulty with any of the
questions, please make an appointment with your teacher for extra help.
3. Practice! Practice! Practice!
 Complete the following questions from the McGraw-Hill Ryerson textbook, Foundations of
Mathematics 10.
p. 94 to p. 95, Chapters 1 to 2 Review:
o Chapter 1 – Measurement Systems and Similar Triangles: Q1, Q2, Q5, Q7
o Chapter 2 – Right Triangle Trigonometry: Q8, Q9, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13
p. 232 to p. 233, Chapters 3 to 5 Review:

CHECKLIST FOR EXAM 2015
As you study for your exam, which is on _______________________________, check off the topics you know:
A.
LINEAR RELATIONS
 Solve linear equations
 Make a table of values for any relation
 Graph relations from the information in your table of values
 Determine the equation of a linear function from a table of values or graph in the form y = mx + b
 Identify the slope (first differences) and y-intercept (the y-value that occurs when x is 0)
 Determine the point of intersection of two linear relations by substitution or graphing (that is, solve a
system of equations)
B.
TRIGONOMETRY
 Make ratios of sides of similar triangles
 SOHCAHTOA!
 Solve for unknown sides or angles using SOHCAHTOA, occasionally in the context of word problems
(think angle of elevation/depression)
 Pythagorean Theorem
C.
QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS
 Expanding/simplifying and factoring polynomials
 y-intercept – identify on a graph and determine algebraically (it occurs when
x = 0)
 x-intercepts - identify on a graph and determine algebraically (they occur when
y = 0)
 factoring to solve for x-intercepts
 vertex – identify on a graph and determine algebraically
 axis of symmetry – identify on a graph and determine its equation
