Worked examples

Start with worked Grade 12 examples

These original examples introduce selected MCV4U expectations. The full expectation map is not a complete set of published written lessons or a substitute for official course materials and assignments. The strand-prefixed labels below identify the matching Ontario specific expectations; titles are concise study-guide paraphrases.

1. Derivative by the power rule

Differentiate f(x) = 3x⁴ − 2x² + 5.

Worked method: Apply the power rule term by term: f′(x) = 12x³ − 4x.

فارسی · توضیح مثال

مشتق f(x) = 3x⁴ − 2x² + 5 را بیابید. قاعده توان را جمله‌به‌جمله به کار ببرید: f′(x) = 12x³ − 4x.

2. Dot product and angle

For a = (1, 2) and b = (3, 0), find a · b.

Worked method: Multiply corresponding components and add: a · b = 1(3) + 2(0) = 3.

فارسی · توضیح مثال

برای a = (1, 2) و b = (3, 0)، مقدار a · b را بیابید. مؤلفه‌های متناظر را ضرب و جمع کنید: a · b = 1(3) + 2(0) = 3.

Try independently, then check

Write your own solution before opening each answer. If a step is unclear, review the matching expectation or a Grade 11 prerequisite.

Practice 1

Differentiate y = (2x − 1)³.

Show worked answer

By the chain rule, y′ = 3(2x − 1)²(2) = 6(2x − 1)².

فارسی · تمرین و پاسخ

مشتق y = (2x − 1)³ را بیابید. با قاعده زنجیره‌ای y′ = 3(2x − 1)²(2) = 6(2x − 1)².

Practice 2

Find the magnitude of v = (2, −3, 6).

Show worked answer

|v| = √(2² + (−3)² + 6²) = √49 = 7.

فارسی · تمرین و پاسخ

اندازه v = (2, −3, 6) را بیابید. |v| = √(2² + (−3)² + 6²) = √49 = 7.

Mathematical processes across expectations

These processes are practised throughout the course, rather than listed as separate lessons.

  • Problem solving (حل مسئله)
  • Reasoning and proving (استدلال و اثبات)
  • Selecting tools and computational strategies (انتخاب ابزار و راهبردهای محاسباتی)
  • Reflecting (بازاندیشی)
  • Connecting (پیوند دادن مفاهیم)
  • Representing (بازنمایی)
  • Communicating (بیان و انتقال اندیشه)

Source and coverage

Prerequisite: Advanced Functions (MHF4U), taken before or concurrently. Confirm your current school timetable and admission requirements.

The expectation map follows the official Ontario mathematics curriculum. Titles are concise study-guide paraphrases; consult the official source for exact requirements. Compare all six Grade 12 paths.

Sources and editorial process

Curriculum-aligned and reviewed before publication

This independent study guide follows the official course source. It is not an official government, school, or university publication.

Lessons may be AI-assisted or editorially prepared. Published content is checked for structure, notation, calculations, course boundaries, and readability before release. Because corrections can still be necessary, readers can report a problem.
