HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION (D)

T13 Trig Calculus has contributed 7.0% to the HSC exam, on average, over the last 10
years. 3. Trig Calculus, 2UA 2012 HSC 12aii
This topic has been split into three sub-categories for this analysis which are: 1-Trig
Differentiate with respect to .
Calculus (3.7%), 2-Circular Measure (1.9%), and 3-Trig Graphs (1.4%).

2017 HSC ANALYSIS - What to expect and common pitfalls
Circular Measure (1.9%) has been examined within questions testing sector calculations
every year since 2003, except 2015. A very reliable testing area to study. 4. Geometry and Calculus, 2UA 2006 HSC 2c
This sub-topic has been well answered by students with the exception of 2010/11 when it Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at the point whose -coordinate is
was examined through more difficult cross-topic questions.
. (3 marks)
Trig Graphs (1.4%) are a minor area but are specifically mentioned here as they have been
important features of some higher-mark (and poorly answered) questions in recent times.
Note that more than half of students answered the 2016 multiple choice question on a trig 5. Trig Calculus, 2UA 2004 HSC 3aii
