6. The Test contents are originated course expectations on the basis of


the Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12
7. The Overall Expectations Covered in this test:

A1. demonstrate an understanding of rate of change by making connections be-


tween average rate of change over an interval and instantaneous rate of change at a
point, using the slopes of secants and tangents and the concept of the limit;

A2. graph the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, and exponential functions, and
make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of
a function and its derivative;

A3. verify graphically and algebraically the rules for determining derivatives; ap-
ply these rules to determine the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential,
rational, and radical functions, and simple combinations of functions; and solve re-
lated problems.
