We break down the May/June 2020 CAIE 9709/11 Pure Mathematics 1 paper — 75 marks, 1h50m, covering algebra, functions, sequences, and calculus.

🔢 知识点一：等差数列（Arithmetic Progression）求和

已知前9项和 S₉ = 117，且第10至13项之和 = 91。求首项 a 和公差 d。

解法：S₉ = (9/2)(2a + 8d) = 117 → 2a + 8d = 26。S₁₃ − S₉ = 91 → (13/2)(2a+12d) − 117 = 91 → 联立求解得 a = 5, d = 2。这是AP问题的经典二级拆分，核心在”部分和相减”技巧。

Given S₉ = 117 and sum of terms 10-13 = 91. Solve: S₉ = (9/2)(2a+8d) = 117 → 2a+8d = 26. S₁₃ − S₉ = 91 → simultaneous equations yield a = 5, d = 2. The key insight: partial sum subtraction.

📈 知识点二：函数变换与图像分析 | Function Transformations & Graph Analysis

9709/11 卷中函数题常考察：平移（translation）、拉伸（stretch）、反射（reflection）对函数图像的影响，以及复合函数 f(g(x)) 的定义域与值域判断。

Paper 1 function questions test transformations (translation, stretch, reflection), and domain/range analysis of composite functions f(g(x)).

📐 知识点三：坐标几何与圆方程 | Coordinate Geometry & Circle Equations

圆的方程 (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r²，圆心 (h,k)，半径 r。常结合切线条件（垂直半径）和弦长公式出题。配方法（completing the square）是化一般式为标准式的核心技巧。

Circle equation: (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r². Combined with tangent conditions (perpendicular to radius) and chord length formulas. Completing the square converts general to standard form.

🔺 知识点四：三角恒等式与弧度制 | Trig Identities & Radian Measure

必考恒等式：sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, tanθ = sinθ/cosθ。弧度制下弧长 s = rθ，扇形面积 A = ½r²θ。注意角度制与弧度制的切换是常见失分点。

Key identities: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, tanθ = sinθ/cosθ. Radian formulas: arc length s = rθ, sector area A = ½r²θ. Switching between degrees and radians is a common pitfall.

📊 知识点五：微分与积分基础 | Basic Differentiation & Integration

幂函数求导：d/dx(xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹。不定积分：∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C。定积分求面积需注意曲线与x轴的相对位置，必要时分段计算。链式法则（chain rule）是复合函数求导的核心。

Power rule: d/dx(xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹. Integration: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C. Definite integrals for area require attention to curve position relative to x-axis — split when necessary. Chain rule is essential for composite functions.
