1. Algebraic Fractions and Simplification | 代数分式与化简
Question: Simplify the expression fully: (x² − 4) / (x² − x − 6).
题目：化简下列表达式的完全形式：(x² − 4) / (x² − x − 6)。
Step 1: Factorise both the numerator and the denominator. The numerator is a difference of two squares: x² − 4 = (x − 2)(x + 2). The denominator is a quadratic trinomial: look for two numbers that multiply to −6 and add to −1; these are −3 and +2, giving x² − x − 6 = (x − 3)(x + 2).
步骤1：分别对分子和分母进行因式分解。分子为平方差形式：x² − 4 = (x − 2)(x + 2)。分母为二次三项式：寻找两个数，其积为 −6 且和为 −1，这两个数分别是 −3 和 +2，因此 x² − x − 6 = (x − 3)(x + 2)。
⇒ (x² − 4) / (x² − x − 6) = (x − 2)(x + 2) / [(x − 3)(x + 2)]
Step 2: Cancel the common factor (x + 2) in the numerator and denominator, noting the restriction that x ≠ −2 (otherwise the original denominator would be zero). Also, the denominator x − 3 cannot be zero, so x ≠ 3. The simplified expression is (x − 2) / (x − 3).
步骤2：约去分子与分母的公因式 (x + 2)，同时注意定义域限制：x ≠ −2（否则原分母为零）。此外分母中 x − 3 ≠ 0，因此 x ≠ 3。化简后的表达式为 (x − 2) / (x − 3)。
Key point: Always state restrictions on the variable when cancelling factors to avoid losing marks.
要点：约分时务必写出变量的取值范围，以免失分。
2. Quadratic Equations and the Discriminant | 二次方程与判别式
Question: The equation x² + kx + 9 = 0 has equal roots. Find the value(s) of k.
题目：已知方程 x² + kx + 9 = 0 有等根，求 k 的值。
For a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 to have equal roots, the discriminant Δ = b² − 4ac must be zero. Here a = 1, b = k, c = 9. Therefore Δ = k² − 4 × 1 × 9 = k² − 36.
要使二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0 有等根，判别式 Δ = b² − 4ac 必须为零。此处 a = 1，b = k，c = 9，因此 Δ = k² − 4 × 1 × 9 = k² − 36。
Set Δ = 0 ⇒ k² − 36 = 0 ⇒ k² = 36 ⇒ k = ±6
Hence the equation has equal roots when k = 6 or k = −6. Both values yield the perfect square trinomial x² ± 6x + 9 = (x ± 3)² = 0, giving a repeated root of ∓3.
因此当 k = 6 或 k = −6 时方程有等根。两个取值分别给出完全平方三项式 x² ± 6x + 9 = (x ± 3)² = 0，重复根为 ∓3。
3. Solving Simultaneous Equations (Linear and Quadratic) | 联立方程组（一次与二次）
Question: Solve the simultaneous equations: y = x² − 3x + 1 and y = 2x − 5.
题目：解联立方程组：y = x² − 3x + 1 与 y = 2x − 5。
Since both right-hand sides equal y, set them equal: x² − 3x + 1 = 2x − 5. Rearrange into standard quadratic form: x² − 3x − 2x + 1 + 5 = 0 ⇒ x² − 5x + 6 = 0.
由于两式右端均等于 y，可令它们相等：x² − 3x + 1 = 2x − 5。移项化为标准二次形式：x² − 3x − 2x + 1 + 5 = 0 ⇒ x² − 5x + 6 = 0。
Factorise: (x − 2)(x − 3) = 0 ⇒ x = 2 or x = 3
Substitute each x-value into the linear equation y = 2x − 5 to find the corresponding y-values: when x = 2, y = 2×2 − 5 = −1; when x = 3, y = 2×3 − 5 = 1. The solutions are (2, −1) and (3, 1).
将每个 x 值代入直线方程 y = 2x − 5 求对应的 y 值：当 x = 2 时，y = 2×2 − 5 = −1；当 x = 3 时，y = 2×3 − 5 = 1。解为 (2, −1) 和 (3, 1)。
Note: Always check your solutions in both original equations, especially the quadratic one.
注意：务必将解代入两个原方程中进行检验，尤其是二次方程。
4. Function Notation and Graph Transformations | 函数记号与图像变换
Question: The graph of y = f(x) is given, where f(x) = x². Describe and sketch the graph of y = 2f(x − 1) + 3. Hence state the coordinates of the new vertex.
题目：已知 y = f(x) 的图像，其中 f(x) = x²。描述并草绘 y = 2f(x − 1) + 3 的图像，并写出新顶点的坐标。
Transformations are applied in order. Starting with f(x) = x², vertex at (0,0): f(x − 1) shifts the graph 1 unit to the right; the vertex moves to (1,0). Multiplying by 2 gives 2f(x − 1), a vertical stretch with scale factor 2; the vertex stays at (1,0) but the shape becomes narrower. Finally, adding 3 gives 2f(x − 1) + 3, a vertical translation 3 units up; the new vertex is at (1,3).
图像变换按顺序进行。从 f(x) = x² 开始，顶点位于 (0,0)：f(x − 1) 将图像向右平移 1 个单位，顶点移至 (1,0)。乘以 2 得到 2f(x − 1)，是以 2 为比例因子的竖直拉伸，顶点仍在 (1,0) 但形状变窄。最后加 3 得到 2f(x − 1) + 3，即向上平移 3 个单位，新顶点坐标为 (1,3)。
Equation of the new curve: y = 2(x − 1)² + 3, vertex (1, 3)
The parabola opens upwards, is narrower than y = x², and has its minimum point at (1,3).
该抛物线开口向上，比 y = x² 更窄，最小值点位于 (1,3)。
5. Coordinate Geometry: Straight Line and Circle Intersection | 坐标几何：直线与圆的交点
Question: Line L passes through points A(2, 3) and B(6, 7). Circle C has equation x² + y² = 50. Find the equation of L and determine the intersection points of L with C.
题目：直线 L 经过点 A(2, 3) 和 B(6, 7)。圆 C 的方程为 x² + y² = 50。求 L 的方程并确定 L 与 C 的交点。
Gradient m of L: (7 − 3) / (6 − 2) = 4/4 = 1. Using point A(2,3): y − 3 = 1(x − 2) ⇒ y = x + 1. So L is y = x + 1.
L 的斜率 m：(7 − 3) / (6 − 2) = 4/4 = 1。利用点 A(2,3)：y − 3 = 1(x − 2) ⇒ y = x + 1。因此 L 为 y = x + 1。
To find intersections, substitute y = x + 1 into x² + y² = 50: x² + (x + 1)² = 50. Expand: x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 50 ⇒ 2x² + 2x − 49 = 0 ⇒ x² + x − 24.5 = 0.
求交点需将 y = x + 1 代入 x² + y² = 50：x² + (x + 1)² = 50。展开得 x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 50 ⇒ 2x² + 2x − 49 = 0 ⇒ x² + x − 24.5 = 0。
Using the quadratic formula: x = [−1 ± √(1 + 98)] / 2 = [−1 ± √99] / 2 = [−1 ± 3√11] / 2
Corresponding y-values are found from y = x + 1. Thus the two intersection points are: ((−1 + 3√11)/2, (1 + 3√11)/2) and ((−1 − 3√11)/2, (1 − 3√11)/2).
对应的 y 值由 y = x + 1 求得。因此两个交点坐标为：((−1 + 3√11)/2, (1 + 3√11)/2) 和 ((−1 − 3√11)/2, (1 − 3√11)/2)。
6. Trigonometry: Sine and Cosine Rules in a Triangle | 三角学：三角形中的正弦与余弦定理
Question: In triangle ABC, side c = AB = 8 cm, side b = AC = 6 cm, and angle A = 60°. Calculate the length of side a = BC, and then find angle B.
题目：在三角形 ABC 中，边 c = AB = 8 cm，边 b = AC = 6 cm，角 A = 60°。计算边 a = BC 的长度，然后求角 B。
Apply the cosine rule to find a: a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A. Substitute values: a² = 6² + 8² − 2 × 6 × 8 × cos 60°. cos 60° = 1/2, so a² = 36 + 64 − 96 × (1/2) = 100 − 48 = 52. Hence a = √52 = 2√13 cm.
应用余弦定理求 a：a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A。代入数值：a² = 6² + 8² − 2 × 6 × 8 × cos 60°。cos 60° = 1/2，因此 a² = 36 + 64 − 96 × (1/2) = 100 − 48 = 52。所以 a = √52 = 2√13 cm。
Now use the sine rule to find angle B: sin B / b = sin A / a. Thus sin B = b sin A / a = 6 × sin 60° / (2√13). sin 60° = √3/2, so sin B = 6 × (√3/2) / (2√13) = (3√3) / (2√13) = (3√39) / 26 after rationalising.
现在用正弦定理求角 B：sin B / b = sin A / a。因此 sin B = b sin A / a = 6 × sin 60° / (2√13)。sin 60° = √3/2，所以 sin B = 6 × (√3/2) / (2√13) = (3√3) / (2√13) = 有理化后得 (3√39) / 26。
Then B = arcsin( (3√39)/26 ). Using a calculator, B ≈ arcsin(0.866) ≈ 60.0°, but we must check whether B is acute or obtuse. Since side c (8) > b (6), angle C > B and A = 60°, so angle B is acute. B ≈ 60° or more precisely B = 60° because the triangle is actually equilateral? Wait, if a = √52 ≈7.21, not all sides equal, so B is approximately 60° but not exactly. In fact, B ≈ 60° indicates this is a near-equilateral case; the exact value is B = arcsin (3√39 / 26). The calculation confirms the rule.
然后 B = arcsin( (3√39)/26 )。用计算器得 B ≈ arcsin(0.866) ≈ 60°，但须判断角 B 是锐角还是钝角。因为边 c (8) > b (6)，故角 C > B，而 A = 60°，因此角 B 为锐角。最终 B ≈ 60°，精确值为 B = arcsin (3√39 / 26)。
7. Differentiation from First Principles | 从第一原理求导
Question: Given f(x) = x² + 3x, find f ‘(x) using the limit definition of the derivative (first principles).
题目：已知 f(x) = x² + 3x，试用导数极限定义（第一原理）求 f ‘(x)。
The derivative from first principles is: f ‘(x) = lim(h→0) [f(x+h) − f(x)] / h. Compute f(x+h) = (x+h)² + 3(x+h) = x² + 2xh + h² + 3x + 3h.
导数的第一原理定义为：f ‘(x) = lim(h→0) [f(x+h) − f(x)] / h。计算 f(x+h) = (x+h)² + 3(x+h) = x² + 2xh + h² + 3x + 3h。
f(x+h) − f(x) = (x² + 2xh + h² + 3x + 3h) − (x² + 3x) = 2xh + h² + 3h
Divide by h: (2xh + h² + 3h)/h = 2x + h + 3. Then take the limit as h → 0: f ‘(x) = lim(h→0) (2x + h + 3) = 2x + 3.
除以 h：(2xh + h² + 3h)/h = 2x + h + 3。之后取 h → 0 的极限：f ‘(x) = lim(h→0) (2x + h + 3) = 2x + 3。
Thus the derivative of x² + 3x is 2x + 3. This matches the standard power rule.
因此 x² + 3x 的导数为 2x + 3，这与常规幂函数的求导法则结果一致。
8. Applications of Differentiation: Related Rates of Change | 微分应用：相关变化率
Question: A spherical balloon is being inflated so that its volume increases at a constant rate of 100 cm³/s. Find the rate at which the radius is increasing when the radius is 5 cm. (Volume of a sphere: V = (4/3)πr³)
题目：一个球形气球充气，其体积以恒定速率 100 cm³/s 增加。求当半径为 5 cm 时，半径的增加速率。（球体积公式：V = (4/3)πr³）
Step 1: Write down the given rate: dV/dt = 100 cm³/s. We need to find dr/dt at r = 5 cm.
步骤1：写出已知速率：dV/dt = 100 cm³/s。需求 r = 5 cm 时的 dr/dt。
Step 2: Differentiate the volume formula with respect to r: dV/dr = 4πr². Since V is a function of r, we use the chain rule: dV/dt = dV/dr × dr/dt.
步骤2：对半径 r 求体积公式的导数：dV/dr = 4πr²。由于 V 是 r 的函数，应用链式法则：dV/dt = dV/dr × dr/dt。
dr/dt = (dV/dt) / (dV/dr) = 100 / (4πr²)
Step 3: Substitute r = 5 cm: dr/dt = 100 / (4π × 5²) = 100 / (4π × 25) = 100 / (100π) = 1/π cm/s.
步骤3：代入 r = 5 cm：dr/dt = 100 / (4π × 5²) = 100 / (4π × 25) = 100 / (100π) = 1/π cm/s。
Thus, when the radius is 5 cm, the radius is increasing at a rate of 1/π cm/s (approximately 0.318 cm/s).
因此当半径为 5 cm 时，半径正以 1/π cm/s（约 0.318 cm/s）的速率增长。
Common mistake: Forgetting to differentiate before substituting the r-value. Always find the general derivative expression, then plug in the specific radius.
常见错误：在代入 r 值之前忘记求导。务必先求导得到一般表达式，再代入特定半径值。
