Hi Everyone,
I have a test coming up regarding the syllabus topics of:
- ✔Functions
✔Trigonometric Functions
I was just wondering whether anyone would have any tips for tests regarding these topics
Thanks in advance,
Coolmate
Hi Coolmate!
Not too familiar with the new maths advanced syllabus, but I had a look at my 2U notes for the same topics and have some (but definitely not exhaustive) general things that could help:
Trigonometric Functions
Take note of whether the question is asking for the answer in degrees or radians (and double check your calculator is in this mode) easy marks can be lost there.
On a similar note: know how to convert radians to degrees and vice versa.
Know well and be able to draw your basic y= sin x, cos & tan graphs (and their inverse).
Functions:
Know the difference between domain & range
With a region question, check you have drawn it correctly by plugging a set of coordinates inside the region and making sure the inequality is true for this.
Be familiar with the format/wording of locus questions so that you can easily work out what its meant to look like (e.g. a circle or a straight line).
Im sure there are plenty more tips that others could add as well!
