1. Algebraic Expressions and Index Laws | 代数表达式与指数法则
Index laws are the backbone of algebraic manipulation. You must be able to simplify expressions involving powers confidently. The fundamental rules are summarised below.
指数法则是代数运算的支柱。你必须能自信地化简含有幂的表达式。基本规则总结如下。
| Index Law (English) | 中文解释 |
|---|---|
| aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ | 同底数幂相乘，指数相加 |
| aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ | 同底数幂相除，指数相减 |
| (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ | 幂的乘方，指数相乘 |
| a⁰ = 1 (a ≠ 0) | 任何非零数的零次幂等于 1 |
| a⁻ⁿ = 1 / aⁿ | 负指数表示倒数 |
| a^(1/n) = ⁿ√a | 分数指数 1/n 表示 n 次方根 |
| a^(m/n) = ⁿ√(aᵐ) = (ⁿ√a)ᵐ | 分数指数 m/n 可写为根式形式 |
When simplifying algebraic fractions or expanding brackets, always apply these rules first. Look out for common factors and be systematic.
在化简代数分式或展开括号时，务必先应用这些法则。注意寻找公因式，并且要有条理地进行。
2. Quadratics and Functions | 二次函数与函数基础
A quadratic expression has the form ax² + bx + c, where a ≠ 0. You must be able to solve quadratic equations by factorising, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula x = [-b ± √(b² – 4ac)] / 2a.
二次表达式的一般形式为 ax² + bx + c，其中 a ≠ 0。你必须掌握通过因式分解、配方法或求根公式 x = [-b ± √(b² – 4ac)] / 2a 来求解二次方程。
The discriminant Δ = b² – 4ac tells you the nature of the roots: Δ > 0 gives two distinct real roots, Δ = 0 gives one repeated real root, and Δ < 0 gives no real roots. Understanding the discriminant is vital for sketching graphs and solving inequalities.
判别式 Δ = b² – 4ac 揭示了根的性质：Δ > 0 时有两个不等实根，Δ = 0 时有两个相等实根（重根），Δ < 0 时没有实根。理解判别式对于绘制函数图像和解不等式至关重要。
Functions are written as f(x). You need to know domain and range, composite functions fg(x) meaning f(g(x)), and inverse functions f⁻¹(x) which reverse the effect of f. The graph of f⁻¹ is the reflection of y = f(x) in the line y = x.
函数记作 f(x)。你需要了解定义域与值域、复合函数 fg(x) 即 f(g(x))，以及反函数 f⁻¹(x)，它逆转 f 的作用。反函数的图像是 y = f(x) 关于直线 y = x 的反射。
3. Equations and Inequalities | 方程与不等式
Solving linear inequalities follows the same rules as equations, but remember that multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. Quadratic inequalities are best solved by sketching the related quadratic graph and identifying where it is above or below the x-axis.
解一次不等式遵循与方程相同的规则，但要记住：乘以或除以负数时，不等号方向要反转。二次不等式最好通过画出相应二次函数图像，并观察图像在 x 轴上方或下方的区间来求解。
Simultaneous equations can involve one linear and one quadratic equation. Substitute the linear expression into the quadratic to obtain a single equation in one variable, then solve and back-substitute.
联立方程组可能包含一个一次方程和一个二次方程。将一次表达式代入二次方程，得到一个单变量方程，解出后再回代。
You can also express inequalities using set notation, e.g., {x : x > 3} or in interval notation (3, ∞). Always check for strict or non-strict inequalities.
你还可以用集合符号表示不等式，例如 {x : x > 3}，或用区间表示 (3, ∞)。始终要区分严格不等式和非严格不等式。
4. Graphs and Transformations | 函数图像与变换
You should be able to sketch cubic, quartic, and reciprocal graphs, as well as their basic shapes. Transformations of graphs involve translations, stretches, and reflections.
你应能画出三次函数、四次函数和反比例函数的图像及其基本形状。图像变换涉及平移、伸缩和反射。
- y = f(x) + a: vertical translation by a (up if a>0).
中：垂直平移 a 个单位（a>0 向上）。 - y = f(x + a): horizontal translation by -a (left if a>0).
中：水平平移 -a 个单位（a>0 向左）。 - y = af(x): vertical stretch by factor a (multiply y-coordinates).
中：垂直方向拉伸 a 倍（y 坐标乘以 a）。 - y = f(ax): horizontal stretch by factor 1/a (divide x-coordinates).
中：水平方向拉伸 1/a 倍（x 坐标除以 a）。 - y = -f(x): reflection in the x-axis.
中：关于 x 轴对称。 - y = f(-x): reflection in the y-axis.
中：关于 y 轴对称。
Learning these rules helps you transform any given function without recalculating individual points.
掌握这些规则后，你无需逐点计算就能对任何给定函数进行变换。
5. Coordinate Geometry | 坐标几何
The straight line can be expressed in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. An alternative is y – y₁ = m(x – x₁), useful when you know a point and the gradient.
直线可表示为 y = mx + c，其中 m 为斜率，c 为 y 轴截距。另一种形式为 y – y₁ = m(x – x₁)，当你已知一点和斜率时十分有用。
Parallel lines have equal gradients. Perpendicular lines satisfy m₁ × m₂ = -1. The distance between two points is √[(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²], and the midpoint is ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2).
平行线斜率相等。垂直线的斜率满足 m₁ × m₂ = -1。两点之间的距离为 √[(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²]，中点坐标为 ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)。
The equation of a circle with centre (a, b) and radius r is (x – a)² + (y – b)² = r². To find the intersection of a line and a circle, substitute the line equation into the circle equation and solve the resulting quadratic.
圆心为 (a, b)、半径为 r 的圆方程为 (x – a)² + (y – b)² = r²。要求直线与圆的交点，可将直线方程代入圆方程，解所得的二次方程。
6. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d. The nth term is uₙ = a + (n-1)d. The sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d] or Sₙ = n/2 (a + l), where l is the last term.
等差数列有公差 d。第 n 项为 uₙ = a + (n-1)d。前 n 项和为 Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d] 或 Sₙ = n/2 (a + l)，其中 l 为末项。
A geometric sequence has a common ratio r. The nth term is uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹. The sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = a(1 – rⁿ)/(1 – r) for r ≠ 1. If |r| < 1, the infinite sum converges: S∞ = a/(1 - r).
等比数列有公比 r。第 n 项为 uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹。前 n 项和为 Sₙ = a(1 – rⁿ)/(1 – r)，r ≠ 1。如果 |r| < 1，无穷级数收敛：S∞ = a/(1 - r)。
Sigma notation Σ is used to write series compactly. For example, Σ (from r=1 to n) (2r+1) represents the sum of the first n odd numbers after 1.
Σ 符号用于紧凑地表示级数。例如 Σ (从 r=1 到 n) (2r+1) 表示从 1 之后的前 n 个奇数之和。
7. Trigonometry | 三角学
In addition to right-angled triangle trigonometry, you must know the sine and cosine rules for any triangle. Sine rule: a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C. Cosine rule: a² = b² + c² – 2bc cos A. The area of a triangle is ½ab sin C.
除直角三角形三角学外，你还需掌握适用于任意三角形的正弦定理和余弦定理。正弦定理：a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C。余弦定理：a² = b² + c² – 2bc cos A。三角形面积为 ½ab sin C。
Angles can be measured in radians: π rad = 180°. To convert, multiply degrees by π/180. The arc length of a sector is rθ, and the area of a sector is ½r²θ, where θ is in radians.
角度可用弧度表示：π 弧度 = 180°。换算时，度数乘以 π/180。扇形弧长为 rθ，扇形面积为 ½r²θ，其中 θ 以弧度为单位。
Key trigonometric identities include tan θ = sin θ / cos θ and sin² θ + cos² θ = 1. You will use these to solve equations and simplify expressions.
重要的三角恒等式包括 tan θ = sin θ / cos θ 和 sin² θ + cos² θ = 1。你将运用它们来解方程和化简表达式。
8. Exponentials and Logarithms | 指数与对数
An exponential function has the form y = aˣ, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1. The logarithm is the inverse: if aˣ = b, then logₐ b = x. The natural logarithm, ln x, has base e ≈ 2.718.
指数函数的形式为 y = aˣ，其中 a > 0 且 a ≠ 1。对数为其逆运算：若 aˣ = b，则 logₐ b = x。自然对数 ln x 以 e ≈ 2.718 为底。
Logarithm laws mirror index laws:
logₐ (xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y
logₐ (x/y) = logₐ x – logₐ y
logₐ (xⁿ) = n logₐ x
Change of base: logₐ b = log_c b / log_c a
对数定律与指数定律相对应：
logₐ (xy) = logₐ x + logₐ y
logₐ (x/y) = logₐ x – logₐ y
logₐ (xⁿ) = n logₐ x
换底公式：logₐ b = log_c b / log_c a
Solving exponential equations often involves taking logarithms of both sides. For example, 2ˣ = 5 → x = log 5 / log 2.
解指数方程时，常对方程两边取对数。例如，2ˣ = 5 → x = log 5 / log 2。
9. Differentiation | 微分
Differentiation finds the instantaneous rate of change. The derivative of f(x) is f ‘(x) or dy/dx. For a power function: if y = xⁿ, then dy/dx = nxⁿ⁻¹. This rule applies for any real n.
微分用于求瞬时变化率。f(x) 的导数记为 f ‘(x) 或 dy/dx。对于幂函数：若 y = xⁿ，则 dy/dx = nxⁿ⁻¹。这一法则适用于任意实数 n。
The derivative of a constant is 0, and the derivative of a sum is the sum of derivatives. For polynomials, differentiate each term separately.
常数的导数为 0，和的导数为导数的和。对于多项式，逐项求导即可。
The gradient of a curve at a point gives the slope of the tangent. You can then find the equation of the tangent or normal. Second derivatives, f ”(x) or d²y/dx², help determine the nature of stationary points.
曲线上某点的导数给出切线的斜率。由此可求得切线或法线的方程。二阶导数 f ”(x) 或 d²y/dx² 有助于判断驻点的性质。
10. Integration | 积分
Integration is the reverse of differentiation. The indefinite integral of xⁿ is ∫ xⁿ dx = [xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1)] + C, for n ≠ -1. The constant C is essential.
积分是微分的逆运算。xⁿ 的不定积分为 ∫ xⁿ dx = [xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1)] + C，其中 n ≠ -1。常数 C 必不可少。
A definite integral between limits a and b, ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx, gives the net area under the curve. If the function dips below the x-axis, the integral gives a negative contribution, so you must split the interval to find total area.
定积分 ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx 给出曲线下的净面积。若函数部分在 x 轴下方，积分会产生负贡献，因此需要分割区间才能求出总面积。
When the integral cannot be found exactly, you can approximate the area using the trapezium rule: Area ≈ h/2 [y₀ + yₙ + 2(y₁ + y₂ + … + yₙ₋₁)], where h = (b-a)/n.
当积分无法精确求出时，可用梯形法则近似面积：面积 ≈ h/2 [y₀ + yₙ + 2(y₁ + y₂ + … + yₙ₋₁)]，其中 h = (b-a)/n。
11. Vectors | 向量
Vectors have magnitude and direction. In two dimensions, a vector can be written as a column vector or as xi + yj. The magnitude of vector v = xi + yj is |v| = √(x² + y²). A unit vector has magnitude 1.
向量具有大小和方向。在二维情形下，向量可写为列向量或 xi + yj 的形式。向量 v = xi + yj 的模为 |v| = √(x² + y²)。单位向量的模为 1。
Vectors can be added by summing components, and multiplied
