I thought trig would be up there
I missed so many lessons when we were doing trig so I'm struggling to catch up haha

I can help, but we haven't finished the whole topic. Shoot me a message if you want, I'm more than happy to give you some notes but I gotta say that there is a lot of memorising in the topic lol.

Also, how frequently and how long are your extension 1 lessons?

thanks, if i'm really struggling I will
well we have 4 lessons a fortnight and they are 50 mins long

how long does it take to finish 1mxt1 topic in class? My teacher taught 2 topics in 4 days gg brain ded by the end of it

Np

My classes are exactly the same, but ours runs I'm the afternoon when school finishes

trigs and functions(thankfully)

Speed6 · Jun 30, 2015

Ooo I forgot to mention.

Permutations and Combinations is a killer.

Sien · Jun 30, 2015

It was literally 3 days of study for test which i screwed up big time

as long as you know where you went wrong it doesn't matter

Do these type of questions longer than other types. Take your time!

What is the easiest way to remember all the trig equation formulas?

Speed6 · Jun 30, 2015

Atm repetition and highlighting. Do it atleast 4 times in the morning, afternoon and night before you go to bed or something. And like in 2-3 days you will learn them off by heart.

Also write the formulas down on a separate sheet dedicated for Trig

do heaps of questions and eventually you will remember them

$cos2\theta= cos^2\theta -sin^2\theta$

$sin2\theta= 2sin\theta cos\theta$

If you memorise these youre all good since for equation 1 sin^2x +cos^x =1 therefore you can rearrange.

$sin\theta= \frac{2t}{1+t^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}$
For tan you can divide sin over cos... Both have the denominator at 1+t^2. Sin is nice so he has 2t

Cos is evil so hes 1-t^2

Drsoccerball · Jun 30, 2015

Wait do you mean the ones equal to one ? :
This is how i "remembered" them...
$sin^2x +cos^2x =1$ Obvious...

$1+cot^2x = cosec^2x$ Divide equation one by sin^2x

$tan^2x +1=sec^2x$ Divide equation one by cos^2x

ive never actually memorised them

Speed6 · Jun 30, 2015

Double angle results:

$sin2\theta =2sin\thetacos\theta$

$cos2\theta=sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta$

$cos2\theta=2cos^2\theta-1$

$cos2\theta=1-2sin^2\theta$

$\therefore tan2\theta=\frac{2tan\theta}{1-tan^2\theta}$

Sien · Jun 30, 2015

I just draw the triangle for the t formula, it's so much easier

$cos2\theta=sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta$

$[B]cos2\theta=2cos^2\theta-1 [/B]$

$cos2\theta=1-2sin^2\theta [/B]$

$\therefore tan2\theta=\frac{2tan\theta}{1-tan^2\theta}$

For extension 1 integration you need these most people again memorise that:

$\frac{1}{2}(cos2\theta +1) = cos^2 \theta$

But then youre memorising another formula... Keep memorising to a min

Speed6 · Jun 30, 2015

Even though I don't have much integration knowledge, could you please show me how to derive it?
