Functions (Ext1), F2 Polynomials (Y11)

Remainder and Factor Theorems (Ext1)

Teacher: Gary Macaulay

Exam Equivalent Time: 61 minutes (based on allocation of 1 minutes per mark)

HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTION

Polynomials has contributed a solid 7%, on average, to new syllabus Ext1 exams since being introduced

in 2020.

This topic has been split into two categories for analysis purposes which are: 1-Remainder and Factor

Theorems (2%) and 2-Sum, Products and Multiplicity of Roots (4%).

This analysis looks at Remainder and Factor Theorems.

HSC ANALYSIS - What to expect and common pitfalls

Remainder and Factor Theorems (2%) has been examined in every new syllabus Ext1 exam to date, twice

in the longer answer section (2023 and 2020) and twice in the multiple choice (2022 and 2021).

2022 Ext1 3 MC represents the upper difficulty level of this topic area, producing a 51% mean mark.

Review carefully.

Notwithstanding the above point, this topic area is typically examined around a band 3-4 level of difficulty

and represents a great opportunity to score highly. Revise this area carefully to eliminate silly errors and

get ahead of the exam clock, in that order.
