1. Expanding and Factorising Algebraic Expressions | 代数表达式的展开与因式分解
Beginner mistakes often arise when expanding brackets, especially with negative signs. Always apply the distributive law systematically: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For factorising, look for common factors first, then recognise patterns like difference of squares a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b).
初学者在去括号时常常因负号而出错。务必系统运用分配律:a(b + c) = ab + ac。因式分解时,先寻找公因子,再识别平方差公式 a² – b² = (a – b)(a + b) 等模式。
Example: Expand and simplify (2x – 3)(x + 5). Multiply each term: 2x×x = 2x², 2x×5 = 10x, –3×x = –3x, –3×5 = –15. Combine like terms: 2x² + 7x – 15. Practice similar problems to avoid sign errors.
例题:展开并化简 (2x – 3)(x + 5)。逐项相乘:2x×x = 2x²,2x×5 = 10x,–3×x = –3x,–3×5 = –15。合并同类项得 2x² + 7x – 15。练习类似题目以避免符号错误。
2. Solving Quadratic Equations | 求解二次方程
Quadratics can be solved by factorising, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. The formula x = [–b ± √(b² – 4ac)] / (2a) works for any quadratic ax² + bx + c = 0. Always check the discriminant Δ = b² – 4ac first to determine the nature of roots.
二次方程可通过因式分解、配方法或求根公式求解。求根公式 x = [–b ± √(b² – 4ac)] / (2a) 适用于任何二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0。务必先计算判别式 Δ = b² – 4ac 以判断根的性质。
When factorising, find two numbers that multiply to ac and add to b. For x² + 5x + 6, the numbers are 2 and 3, giving (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0, so x = –2 or –3. If the quadratic is not monic, use grouping or the cross method.
因式分解时,寻找两个数使其乘积为 ac 且和为 b。对于 x² + 5x + 6,这两个数是 2 和 3,得到 (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0,因此 x = –2 或 –3。若二次项系数不为1,可用分组法或十字相乘法。
Example using formula: Solve 2x² – 4x – 1 = 0. Here a=2, b=–4, c=–1. Discriminant = (–4)² – 4×2×(–1) = 16 + 8 = 24. So x = [4 ± √24] / 4 = [4
