HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION
F1 Working with Functions is a Year 11 topic whose content represents the lowest of low hanging (A)
fruit in the new Advanced course.
(B)
F1 Working with Functions includes new and a significant re-categorisation of old syllabus content.
(C)
This analysis has split the topic into 5 categories: 1-Algebraic Techniques, 2-Linear Functions, 3-
(D)
Quadratics and Cubic Functions, 4-Composite Functions and 5-Further Functions and Relations.
This analysis looks at Absolute Value, Reflections and Inequalities (2.0%).

This new content could be regularly examined in our view and the database examples deserve
attention.
Circle functions were regularly examined in the old course (often within Plane Geometry which has 4. Functions, 2ADV F1 2007 HSC 1b
been removed from the syllabus). We recommend a careful review of questions that look at this area
and remain examinable. Solve and graph the solution on a number line. (2 marks)
