HSC vectors appear in both Extension 1 and Extension 2, with increasing depth. Extension 1 introduces 2D vectors and basic applications; Extension 2 extends to 3D geometry, lines and planes, and the cross product.
Extension 1 vs Extension 2 vectors
Extension 1: Vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot product, projections, and geometric applications in 2D.
Extension 2: 3D vectors, cross product, equations of lines and planes, intersections, distances, and angles between lines and planes.
Vectors booklet
HSC Vectors on Vu's Maths Hub covers geometric and algebraic methods with worked solutions for both Extension 1 and Extension 2 level problems.
Vectors in other topics
Vectors are essential for HSC Mechanics (forces and motion) and connect to HSC Complex Numbers (complex numbers as 2D vectors).
Also review HSC Trigonometry for angle calculations and HSC Collections for mixed exam-style vector questions.
