Creating a comprehensive exam for Moroccan secondary education level in mathematics

(MAYH) involves covering key topics typically taught in this curriculum. Below is a sample exam
with a variety of question types:

### Moroccan Secondary Education Mathematics Exam (MAYH)

#### Section 1: Algebra and Functions


1. **Polynomials and Rational Functions:**
- Simplify the expression: \(\frac{3x^2 - 12}{6x^2 - 24x}\).
- Find the roots of the polynomial: \(2x^3 - 3x^2 - 8x + 3 = 0\).

2. **Exponential and Logarithmic Functions:**


- Solve for \(x\): \(2e^{2x} - 5e^x + 3 = 0\).
- Simplify the expression: \(\log_2(8x) - \log_2(4) + \log_2(16)\).

3. **Sequences and Series:**


- Find the sum of the first 10 terms of the arithmetic sequence where the first term is 5 and the
common difference is 3.
- Determine the sum of the infinite geometric series: \(3 + 1.5 + 0.75 + \ldots\).

#### Section 2: Geometry and Trigonometry


4. **Euclidean Geometry:**
- Prove that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
- Given a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4, find the length of the hypotenuse.

5. **Analytic Geometry:**
- Find the equation of the circle with center at \((2, -3)\) and radius 5.
- Determine the coordinates of the intersection points of the lines \(y = 2x + 1\) and \(y = -x +
4\).

6. **Trigonometry:**
- Solve for \(x\) in the interval \([0, 2\pi]\): \(\sin(2x) = \sqrt{3}/2\).
- Verify the identity: \(\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1\).

#### Section 3: Calculus


7. **Limits and Continuity:**
- Evaluate the limit: \(\lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{x^2 - 4}{x - 2}\).
- Determine if the function \(f(x) = \frac{1}{x-3}\) is continuous at \(x = 3\).

8. **Differentiation:**
- Find the derivative of \(f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x^2 + 2x - 1\).
- Use the first derivative test to find the local maxima and minima of \(f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2\).

9. **Integration:**
- Evaluate the definite integral: \(\int_0^2 (3x^2 - 2x + 1) \, dx\).
- Find the area between the curves \(y = x^2\) and \(y = 4x - x^2\).

#### Section 4: Probability and Statistics


10. **Probability:**
- A box contains 3 red balls, 2 blue balls, and 5 green balls. If a ball is chosen at random,
what is the probability that it is red or blue?
- If two dice are rolled, what is the probability that the sum is 7?

11. **Statistics:**
- Given the data set: 5, 7, 8, 4, 6, find the mean, median, and mode.
- Calculate the standard deviation for the data set: 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9.

#### Instructions:
- Answer all questions.
- Show all workings clearly for full credit.
- Use appropriate mathematical notation and methods.

#### Time: 3 Hours


#### Total Marks: 100

This sample exam aims to cover a broad range of topics that are typically included in the
Moroccan mathematics curriculum for secondary education. Adjustments may be needed based
on specific curriculum requirements or recent changes.
