Technique: Problem-solving and modelling task
Unit 3: Mathematical induction, and further vectors, matrices and complex numbers
Topic: Vectors and matrices
Task
By using the data published on the ABS website, develop a mathematical model that will enable you to 'predict' the population change for your chosen Australian city, state or a territory.
This task poses the challenge - can a mathematics student, using their knowledge of matrix application and the available historical data, predict the population trends in line with the experts' population projections?
To complete the task, you must:
- present your findings as an investigative report which can be read and interpreted independently of the instrument task sheet.
- develop a unique response.Instrument-specific marking guide (IA1): Problem-solving and modelling task
