12 Guidelines for Mathematics Grade 12 19
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this guide is to assist grade 12 learners for their 2017 end of year examination
preparation.
The activities in this document are meant to be a guide and not to replace any study material/ text
book.
To assist learners with practice model activities are provided as well as model answers.
The self study guide focuses on selected challenging content topics informed by personal
experience, analysis of 2016 grade 12 results and the examiner’s reports.
At the end of this guide there is an indication of how marks are allocated per topic /theme. This will
guide you on the amount of effort to put on each topic.

This section is always question 2 and 3 in the final paper and is weighting 25 marks.
The sequence of first differences of a quadratic number pattern is linear. Therefore, knowledge of linear patterns
can be tested in the context of quadratic number patterns.
Recursive patterns will not be examined explicitly.
Links must be clearly established between patterns done in earlier grades.

8.6 Write down the values of k for which f(x) = k will have only ONE root.
Understand the difference between nominal and effective interest rates and convert fluently between them for
the following compounding periods: monthly, quarterly and half-yearly or semi-annually.
With the exception of calculating for i in the Fv and Pv formulae, candidates are expected to calculate the value
of any of the other variables.
Pyramid schemes will not be examined in the examination
EXAMPLES:
9.1 After how many years will a vehicle originally valued at R980 000 decreases
to R147 000 if the rate of depreciation is 10 % p.a. on a reducing balance.
9.2 You buy a car for R180 000 and pay a deposit of 15%
The balance is paid using a bank loan.
Interest is charged at 13,9% p.a. compounded monthly over 5 years.
7. PROBABILITY
EXAMPLES:
10.1 Events A and B are mutually exclusive. It is given that:
• P(B) = 2P(A)
• P(A or B) = 0,57
Calculate P(B).
10.2 Two identical bags are filled with balls. Bag A contains 3 pink and 2 yellow balls. Bag B
contains 5 pink and 4 yellow balls. It is equally likely that Bag A or Bag B is chosen. Each
ball has an equal chance of being chosen from the bag. A bag is chosen at random and a ball is
then chosen at random from the bag.
11
10.2.1 Represent the information by means of a tree diagram. Clearly indicate the probability
associated with each branch of the tree diagram and write down all the outcomes.
10.2.2 What is the probability that a yellow ball will be chosen from Bag A?

10. STATISTICS
Candidates should be encouraged to use the calculator to calculate standard deviation, variance and the
equation of the least squares regression line.
The interpretation of standard deviation in terms of normal distribution is not examinable.
Candidates are expected to identify outliers intuitively in both the scatter plot as well as the box and whisker
diagram.
In the case of the box and whisker diagram, observations that lie outside the interval (lower quartile – 1,5 IQR
; upper quartile + 1,5 IQR) are considered to be outliers. However, candidates will not be penalised if they did
not make use of this formula in identifying outliers.

EXAMPLES:
6. A local nursery records the effect of temperature on the growth of a new plant that has
recently been imported into the country. The goal of the study is to determine what
temperature is ideal for maximum flowering for a particular plant.
6.1 Draw a scatter plot on the diagram sheet to represent this data.
6.2 Describe the trends shown by this scatter plot.
6.3 Draw the line of best fit.
7. The distance travelled (in kilometres) by 10 learners to school each day were recorded as follows:
7 8 10 8 26 14 7 5 6 7
7.1 Calculate the standard deviation
7.2 Draw a box and whisker diagram for the data on the diagram sheet.
7.3 How many learners travelled distances that are outside one standard deviation?
7.4 Will the mean or the median be the most appropriate central value to use?
Motivate your answer.
