UNIT OVERVIEW
This revision unit brings together all the major topics from Term 2. You will consolidate your understanding, identify gaps, and build the problem-solving skills needed for your examinations.
In this revision unit, you will:
- Apply trigonometry rules to problems in two and three dimensions
- Use the Factor and Remainder Theorems with polynomial functions
- Work through differential calculus from first principles to optimisation
- Solve analytical geometry problems involving circles and tangent lines
- Practise exam-style questions that combine multiple concepts
Why these topics matter:
- Surveying and construction: Trigonometry in 3D helps calculate heights and distances on building sites.
- Manufacturing: Polynomial functions model curves for product design.
- Business decisions: Calculus helps find maximum profit or minimum cost.
- Navigation systems: Coordinate geometry underpins GPS technology.
