As someone who did the e1 hsc last year, don't place too much emphasis on the previous years testing - everyone was weary of another large sample proportion question but we got hit with a nasty vector proof - also look at areas which NESA hasn't tested as much since theres a high likelihood their pop up this year - gud luck :)

So do you know of any areas that nesa hasn't tested a lot?

im predicting theres gonna be a pidgeon hole q cause its being removed from the new ex 1 syllabus and they may want to test us on it before it leaves. same with t formula but theyd be the easier questions.

How do you find domain and range of inverse trig graphs within a trig graph e.g. cos inverse (tanx) or sin(tan inverse x)

Find the range of the inner function and then apply it to the domain of the outer function

Firstly know the range of the 'outside' function. for your first example the range of cos^-1 is 0<y<pi. the overall function cos^-1(tanx) can only be defined in this range.

Secondly look at the domain of the 'outside' function, which is -1<x<1. Compare this to the range of the 'inside' function, in this case tanx which is defined for all real y. Now know that cos^-1 will only take in numbers between -1 and 1 as input, so the overall function will only be defined where tanx (the 'input') is between -1 and 1 which we know is between the multiples of pi/4

Just to do your second example, sin is defined for all real x, and y between -1 and 1. tan^-1 all real x and y between -pi/2 and pi/2.
the overall function will have the same range as sin (-1<y<1), and the domain will be defined where x is real (bc numbers between -pi/2 and pi/2 are real)

Check out this vid from Hok's Tutoring on youtube:

NSB 2022 should be illegal
I did it today its not that bad besides part 3 of that one question with the circle and t , t1, t2 stuff. and I didn't spot the sine rule on part 2 of the final proj mot rest of it is pretty standard stuff

nesa hasnt really tested on forces or binomial proofs yet right?
They have done a few pulley questions and an 8 mark combinatorics question in 2020 (with like 3 shows) so I wouldn't count them out this year. Perhaps they will do a big thing on vector forces this year (just a thought cuz they havent put much emphasis on it in previous years)

Yo, I know it may be too late but if anyone wants to check this out just incase there is some binomial identity proofs tomorrow. This channel has a 4 part tutorial/lesson on them.
