What is a practice skill?

A practice skill is a focused topic or question type designed to help students practise one curriculum-aligned concept with instant feedback and explanations. Skill Align uses practice skills to organise questions by year level, subject, strand, and curriculum focus.

Sample HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 questions

These sample questions are visible on the page before login. They show HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 functions, trigonometry, calculus, binomial, vectors, and proof explanations before opening the demo.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Functions and transformations hard transformation graph

1. The graph of y = f(x) has stationary point A(1, -2). For g(x) = -3f(x + 2) + 4, which point is the corresponding stationary point on y = g(x)?

Extension transformation of a stationary point A A' g
Choices
  • (-1, 10)
  • (3, 10)
  • (-1, -2)
  • (1, 10)
Explanation:

The input x + 2 must equal 1, so x = -1. The output becomes -3(-2) + 4 = 10, so the corresponding stationary point is (-1, 10).

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Trigonometric equations hard unit circle

2. For 0 ≤ x < 2π, how many solutions does 2sin2 x - sin x - 1 = 0 have?

Unit-circle solutions for sine 1 -1/2 θ
Choices
  • 3
  • 2
  • 4
  • 5
Explanation:

Factor the equation as (2sin x + 1)(sin x - 1) = 0. Thus sin x = -1/2 or sin x = 1. On 0 ≤ x < 2π, these occur at 7π/6, 11π/6 and π/2, giving three solutions.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Calculus hard tangent graph

3. For f(x) = x2 ln x, x > 0, the tangent T is drawn at P where x = e. What is the gradient of T?

Tangent to x squared log x P x = e T
Choices
  • 3e
  • 2e
  • e
  • 3
Explanation:

Differentiate using the product rule: f'(x) = 2x ln x + x. At x = e, ln e = 1, so f'(e) = 2e + e = 3e.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Binomial theorem hard weighted score chart

4. In the expansion of (1 + 2x)6, what is the coefficient of x3?

Highlighted binomial coefficient 160
Choices
  • 160
  • 120
  • 80
  • 20
Explanation:

The x3 term is C(6, 3)(2x)3 = 20 x 8x3 = 160x3, so the coefficient is 160.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Vectors hard vector diagram

5. In the vector diagram, a = (2, 1), b = (5, 4), and p denotes the component of b perpendicular to a. What is |p|?

Perpendicular component of a vector a b p
Choices
  • 3√5/5
  • 14/5
  • √5
  • 3/5
Explanation:

Since b . a = 14 and a . a = 5, proj_a b = (14/5)a. Hence p = b - proj_a b = (-3/5, 6/5), with magnitude √(45)/5 = 3√5/5.

HSC Year 11 Mathematics Extension 1 Proof and sequences hard sequence graph

6. In an induction proof for 12 + 22 + ... + n2 = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)/6, what term is added to the k-case to begin the (k + 1)-case?

Induction step for a square-sum proof Pₖ₊₁ n S
Choices
  • (k + 1)2
  • k2
  • 2k + 1
  • (k + 1)(k + 2)
Explanation:

The k-case sums from 12 to k2. The next case sums from 12 to k2 plus the next square, so the added term is (k + 1)2.

What this practice and exercise page covers

Mathematics Extension 1 practice sits inside NSW Year 11 Preliminary Mathematics coverage across Standard, Advanced, Extension 1, functions, algebra, statistics, probability, finance, networks, and proof, with Skill Align keeping the route focused on the selected maths pathway.

Senior practice is organised by pathway, unit, topic, and mode so students can revise targeted areas rather than sitting a full-paper workflow every time. Skill Align treats practice questions and exercise questions as the same learning workflow: students answer curriculum-aligned questions, review explanations, and move between exercise mode and test mode.

Start with the public sample questions to check the question style, then use the curriculum coverage page to choose a topic that matches the student's current classwork.

Preview question styles
  • Advanced functions and proof: Students practise advanced functions and proof through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
  • Calculus and applications: Students practise calculus and applications through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
  • Vectors and complex numbers: Students practise vectors and complex numbers through short targeted questions, explanations, and mode-specific feedback.
Suggested first practice steps
  • Preview the public sample practice and exercise questions before creating a saved student session.
  • Choose one focus area that has already been introduced at school.
  • Use exercise mode for immediate explanations, then test mode when the student is ready for delayed feedback.

These examples are not the full topic list. Use the curriculum coverage page for the complete mapped pathway.

  • Advanced functions and proof
  • Calculus and applications
