1. Key Ideas

A systems engineer does not think about resistors, capacitors, and inductors as separate ideas — they combine them into circuits that solve real problems. In this final lesson, you will do the same with Module 1: synthesise functions, inverses, composites, and transformations into one coherent toolkit, and learn the exam techniques that turn knowledge into marks.

The complete scope of Module 1: IQ1, IQ2, IQ3
How domain, range, inverses, and transformations interconnect

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

The complete scope of Module 1: IQ1, IQ2, IQ3
Standard question types and mark allocations
Common traps that appear in exam questions

3. Key Terms

FunctionA relation where each input has exactly one output.

DomainThe set of all possible input values for a function.

RangeThe set of all possible output values for a function.

Inverse FunctionA function that reverses the effect of the original function.

QuadraticA polynomial of degree 2, in the form ax² + bx + c.

DiscriminantThe expression b² - 4ac that determines the nature of quadratic roots.
