HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION (C)

T11 Integration is the second largest topic in the Mathematics course, contributing 13.1% to (D)
the HSC exam per year, on average, over the last 10 years.
This topic has been split into four sub-categories: 1-Areas Under Curves (4.5%), 2-Solids of
Revolution (3.0%), 3-Simpson's and Trapezoidal Rules (2.6%), and 4-Integrals (3.0%).

Evaluate (2 marks)
Integrals (2.1%) make up the smallest contribution within T11 Integration and deals with the
more "vanilla" integration problems. Note that the 2.1% does not include Trig Integrals or
Log & Exponential Integrals whose contribution to the HSC is attributed to their specific topic
area. 4. Integration, 2UA 2017 HSC 11b

MARKER'S COMMENT: Many
students incorrectly
differentiated in part (i). The 1

answer will not require an
involved multi-step process.

MARKER'S COMMENT: Few
students were able to answer
this part. Remember, the
previous parts of any question
should be front and centre of
your thinking when working
out strategies.
