2. Trigonometry, EXT1 T2 SM-Bank 9 MC

If and , then is equal to

A.

B.

HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION C.

Trigonometry looks at trigonometric algebra, graphs and identities. This is an D.

important area that is examined both in its own right and used within calculus
applications that are covered in later topics.
This topic has been split into three sub-categories for analysis purposes which are: 1- 3. Trigonometry, EXT1 T2 2019 HSC 6 MC
Inverse Trig Functions (1.8%), 2-Compound Angles (0.7%) and 3-Trig Equations (1.8%).
It is given that , where .
This analysis looks at Compound Angles.
What is the value of ?
HSC ANALYSIS - What to expect and common pitfalls
A.
Compound Angles (0.7%) is a small content area that establishes gateway knowledge
for other more challenging topics like solving trig identities (found within Y12 content
T3 Trig Equations). B.

Best practice involves drawing right-angled triangles to solve. 2013 Ext1 8 MC caused
significant problems for students and we recommend close revision here. C.

NESA exemplar questions require students to construct compound angles and use
D.
exact trig ratios to solve. This question style should be reviewed. Numerous EQ-Bank
and SM-Bank examples appear in the database to cover this area.
