What this AA HL trigonometric proof and equation strategies worksheet covers

HL strategies for trigonometric proofs and harder equations: compound angles, factorising, and choosing the right identity. The questions follow the order of the AA HL syllabus for Topic 3 (Geometry & Trigonometry) and are graded in three bands — routine practice, exam-standard, and the harder multi-step questions that separate a 6 from a 7.

Compound-angle formulas
Proving identities with multiple steps
Equations requiring factorisation or substitution
Choosing an identity based on the target form
Exam tip for this topic. Decide which side is more complicated and work only on that side.

How to use it

  1. Do the first band without the AA HL formula booklet, then check which formulas you had to look up — those are the ones to memorise.
  2. Time the second band at roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, the pace of Paper 1 and Paper 2.
  3. Mark the third band against the solutions and rewrite every question you lost marks on from a blank page.
