1. Polynomials and Algebraic Division | 多项式与代数除法
Polynomial manipulation appears frequently in AQA Pure past papers. A typical question asks you to simplify a rational expression using algebraic long division, or to express an improper fraction as a quotient plus a remainder term.
多项式操作在 AQA 纯数真题中出现频繁。典型题目要求使用代数长除法化简有理式，或将假分式表示为商与余项之和。
Example: Divide 2x³ – 3x² + 4x – 5 by (x – 2). Express the result in the form Q(x) + R/(x – 2).
示例：用 (x – 2) 除 2x³ – 3x² + 4x – 5，将结果表示为 Q(x) + R/(x – 2) 的形式。
Solve: First, 2x³ ÷ x = 2x². Multiply (x – 2) by 2x² to get 2x³ – 4x². Subtract from the first two terms: (2x³ – 3x²) – (2x³ – 4x²) = x². Bring down +4x to obtain x² + 4x. Next, x² ÷ x = x. Multiply (x – 2) by x → x² – 2x, subtract: (x² + 4x) – (x² – 2x) = 6x. Bring down –5 → 6x – 5. Divide 6x ÷ x = 6. Multiply (x – 2) by 6 → 6x – 12. Subtract: (6x – 5) – (6x – 12) = 7. Quotient is 2x² + x + 6, remainder is 7. Thus, 2x³ – 3x² + 4x – 5 = (x – 2)(2x² + x + 6) + 7, so the final form is 2x² + x + 6 + 7/(x – 2).
解：首先，2x³ ÷ x = 2x²。将 (x – 2) 乘以 2x² 得 2x³ – 4x²。从首两项相减：(2x³ – 3x²) – (2x³ – 4x²) = x²。移下 +4x 得到 x² + 4x。然后，x² ÷ x = x。乘以 (x – 2) 得 x² – 2x，相减得 6x。移下 –5 得 6x – 5。6x ÷ x = 6。乘以 (x – 2) 得 6x – 12，相减得 7。商为 2x² + x + 6，余数为 7。因此最终形式为 2x² + x + 6 + 7/(x – 2)。
2. Trigonometric Equations and Identities | 三角方程与恒等式
Trigonometric equations that require you to apply double-angle formulas are very popular. Recognising when to use sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ is essential to simplify and solve within a given interval.
需要应用倍角公式的三角方程十分常见。能够识别何时使用 sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ 是化简并在给定区间内求解的关键。
Example: Solve sin 2θ = cos θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.
示例：在 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π 内求解 sin 2θ = cos θ。
Rewrite as 2 sin θ cos θ = cos θ. Bring all terms to one side: 2 sin θ cos θ – cos θ = 0 ⇒ cos θ (2 sin θ – 1) = 0. This gives cos θ = 0 or sin θ = 1/2. For cos θ = 0, θ = π/2, 3π/2. For sin θ = 1/2, θ = π/6, 5π/6. All solutions within [0, 2π] are θ = π/6, π/2, 5π/6, 3π/2.
化为 2 sin θ cos θ = cos θ。移项得 2 sin θ cos θ – cos θ = 0 ⇒ cos θ (2 sin θ – 1) = 0。得 cos θ = 0 或 sin θ = 1/2。cos θ = 0 时，θ = π/2, 3π/2；sin θ = 1/2 时，θ = π/6, 5π/6。所有在 [0, 2π] 内的解为 θ = π/6, π/2, 5π/6, 3π/2。
3. Differentiation Techniques and Tangents | 微分技巧与切线
Questions on differentiation frequently ask for equations of tangents or normals, stationary points, and their classification. A strong grasp of the chain rule, product rule, and quotient rule is needed, though polynomial derivatives can often be tackled with simple power rules.
微分题目常要求求出切线或法线方程、驻点及其分类。虽然多项式的导数通常用简单的幂法则即可，但熟练掌握链式法则、乘法和除法法则仍然必要。
Example: Find the stationary points of f(x) = x⁴ – 4x³ + 4x² + 1 and determine their nature.
示例：求 f(x) = x⁴ – 4x³ + 4x² + 1 的驻点并判定其性质。
Differentiate: f'(x) = 4x³ – 12x² + 8x = 4x(x² – 3x + 2) = 4x(x – 1)(x – 2). Set f'(x) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, 1, 2. Second derivative: f”(x) = 12x² – 24x + 8. At x = 0, f”(0) = 8 > 0 ⇒ local minimum. At x = 1, f”(1) = 12 – 24 + 8 = –4 < 0 ⇒ local maximum. At x = 2, f''(2) = 48 – 48 + 8 = 8 > 0 ⇒ local minimum. Corresponding y-values: f(0)=1, f(1)=1–4+4+1=2, f(2)=16–32+16+1=1. So min at (0,1) and (2,1); max at (1,2).
求导：f'(x) = 4x³ – 12x² + 8x = 4x(x² – 3x + 2) = 4x(x – 1)(x – 2)。令 f'(x)=0 得 x = 0, 1, 2。二阶导数：f”(x) = 12x² – 24x + 8。x=0 时 f”(0)=8>0 ⇒ 局部极小；x=1 时 f”(1)=12–24+8=–4<0 ⇒ 局部极大；x=2 时 f''(2)=48–48+8=8>0 ⇒ 局部极小。对应 y 值：f(0)=1, f(1)=2, f(2)=1。故极小点 (0,1) 和 (2,1)；极大点 (1,2)。
4. Integration and Area under Curves | 积分与曲线下方面积
Integration by substitution and by parts are the two core techniques examined. Areas between curves and volumes of revolution also appear, but the foundation is always solid indefinite integration using these methods.
换元积分法与分部积分法是考查的两大核心技术。曲线间面积及旋转体体积也会出现，但基础始终是运用这些方法求出不定积分。
Example: Evaluate ∫ x e^(2x) dx using integration by parts.
示例：用分部积分法求 ∫ x e^(2x) dx。
Let u = x ⇒ du = dx. Let dv = e^(2x) dx ⇒ v = ½ e^(2x). Using ∫ u dv = uv – ∫ v du, we get: ∫ x e^(2x) dx = x·½ e^(2x) – ∫ ½ e^(2x) dx = ½ x e^(2x) – ¼ e^(2x) + C.
令 u = x ⇒ du = dx；设 dv = e^(2x) dx ⇒ v = ½ e^(2x)。由 ∫ u dv = uv – ∫ v du 得：∫ x e^(2x) dx = ½ x e^(2x) – ∫ ½ e^(2x) dx = ½ x e^(2x) – ¼ e^(2x) + C。
5. Numerical Methods – Iteration | 数值方法 – 迭代法
Numerical methods questions typically involve showing that a root lies between two values, then using an iterative formula such as Newton-Raphson to approximate the root to a required accuracy.
数值方法题通常要求学生证明根存在于某两个值之间，然后使用诸如牛顿-拉弗森迭代公式逼近根至所需精度。
Example: Show that the equation x³ – 2x – 5 = 0 has a root between x = 2 and x = 3. Use Newton-Raphson with x₀ = 2.5 to find this root correct to 3 decimal places.
示例：证明方程 x³ – 2x – 5 = 0 在 x=2 与 x=3 之间有一个根。用牛顿-拉弗森法，取 x₀ = 2.5，求该根精确至小数点后三位。
f(2) = 8 – 4 – 5 = –1 < 0; f(3) = 27 – 6 – 5 = 16 > 0, so a root lies in (2, 3). Newton-Raphson: xₙ₊₁ = xₙ – f(xₙ)/f'(xₙ), where f'(x) = 3x² – 2. First iteration: x₁ = 2.5 – (2.5³ – 2×2.5 – 5)/(3×2.5² – 2) = 2.5 – (15.625 – 5 – 5)/(18.75 – 2) = 2.5 – (5.625)/(16.75) ≈ 2.5 – 0.3358 = 2.1642. Second iteration: x₂ = 2.1642 – (2.1642³ – 2×2.1642 – 5)/(3×2.1642² – 2) ≈ 2.1642 – (10.139 – 4.3284 – 5)/(14.049 – 2) = 2.1642 – (0.8106)/(12.049) ≈ 2.1642 – 0.0673 = 2.0969. Third iteration: x₃ ≈ 2.0969 – (2.0969³ – 4.1938 – 5)/(3×2.0969² – 2) ≈ 2.0969 – (9.217 – 9.1938)/(13.191 – 2) = 2.0969 – (0.0232)/(11.191) ≈ 2.0969 – 0.00207 = 2.0948. Fourth iteration: x₄ ≈ 2.0948 – tiny correction ≈ 2.0946. Root is 2.095 to 3 d.p.
f(2)= –1<0, f(3)=16>0，故根在 (2,3)。牛顿法：xₙ₊₁ = xₙ – (xₙ³ – 2xₙ –5)/(3xₙ² – 2)。第一次迭代：x₁ ≈ 2.1642；第二次：x₂ ≈ 2.0969；第三次：x₃ ≈ 2.0948；第四次得 2.0946。精确到三位小数为 2.095。
6. Vectors and Scalar Product | 向量与数量积
AQA vectors questions test both geometrical understanding and algebraic manipulation. Typical problems involve finding the angle between two vectors, proving perpendicularity, or working with lines in 3D.
AQA 向量题考查几何理解与代数运算。典型问题包括求两向量之间的夹角、证明垂直关系，或处理三维空间中的直线。
Example: Points A(1, 2, 3) and B(3, 1, 4) are given relative to origin O. Find the angle AOB.
示例：给定相对于原点 O 的点 A(1,2,3) 与 B(3,1,4)，求 ∠AOB。
Vectors OA = (1, 2, 3), OB = (3, 1, 4). Scalar product: OA·OB = 1×3 + 2×1 + 3×4 = 3 + 2 + 12 = 17. Lengths: |OA| = √(1² + 2² + 3²) = √14, |OB| = √(3² + 1² + 4²) = √26. Then cos θ = (OA·OB) / (|OA||OB|) = 17 / (√14·√26). So θ = arccos(17 / √364) ≈ arccos(0.8909) ≈ 27.1° (to 1 d.p.).
向量 OA=(1,2,3)，OB=(3,1,4)。数量积 OA
