1. Roots and Complex Numbers: Verifying Conjugate Pairs and Factoring | 多项式与复数：共轭根验证与因式分解
Problem: The equation z³ – 2z² + z – 2 = 0 has a complex root z = 1 + i. Find all three roots, express the cubic as a product of a linear factor and an irreducible quadratic factor, and sketch the roots on an Argand diagram.
问题：方程 z³ – 2z² + z – 2 = 0 有一个复根 z = 1 + i。求所有三个根，将三次多项式表达为一个一次因式和一个不可约二次因式的乘积，并在阿干特图上勾勒出根的位置。
Since the polynomial has real coefficients, complex roots occur in conjugate pairs. Thus z = 1 – i is also a root.
由于多项式系数为实数，复根成对出现。因此 z = 1 – i 也是一个根。
The sum of these two roots is (1 + i) + (1 – i) = 2, and their product is (1 + i)(1 – i) = 1² – i² = 2. Hence the corresponding quadratic factor is z² – 2z + 2.
这两个根的和为 (1 + i) + (1 – i) = 2，积为 (1 + i)(1 – i) = 1² – i² = 2。因此对应的二次因式为 z² – 2z + 2。
Polynomial division of z³ – 2z² + z – 2 by z² – 2z + 2 gives a linear factor of (z – 1). Thus the roots are z = 1, z = 1 + i, z = 1 – i, and the factorization is (z – 1)(z² – 2z + 2).
用 z² – 2z + 2 除 z³ – 2z² + z – 2，得到一次因式 (z – 1)。因此全部根为 z = 1，z = 1 + i，z = 1 – i，因式分解为 (z – 1)(z² – 2z + 2)。
The Argand diagram shows the real root on the real axis, and the complex conjugate pair symmetrically above and below the real axis, demonstrating the fundamental link between polynomial theory and complex numbers.
阿干特图显示实根在实轴上，而复共轭对对称分布于实轴上下，这体现了多项式理论与复数之间的深层联系。
2. Matrices and Geometry: Composite Transformations and Invariant Lines | 矩阵与几何：复合变换与不变直线
Consider the matrices A = [[0, -1], [1, 0]] (rotation by 90° anticlockwise) and B = [[2, 0], [0, 1]] (stretch parallel to the x-axis). Find the matrix representing the transformation ‘B followed by A’, and determine any lines that are invariant under this composite transformation.
给定矩阵 A = [[0, -1], [1, 0]] (逆时针旋转90°) 和 B = [[2, 0], [0, 1]] (沿 x 轴拉伸)。求表示“先实施 B 再实施 A”的复合变换的矩阵，并找出该复合变换的所有不变直线。
The composite transformation matrix is AB = [[0, -1], [1, 0]] * [[2, 0], [0, 1]] = [[0, -1], [2, 0]].
复合变换矩阵为 AB = [[0, -1], [1, 0]] × [[2, 0], [0, 1]] = [[0, -1], [2, 0]]。
To find invariant lines of the form y = mx, we solve [[0, -1], [2, 0]] [x, mx]ᵀ = [x’, mx’]ᵀ, requiring the image point to lie on the same line. This leads to the equation 2x = m(-mx) and -x = m(2x), which yields m² = -2. No real solutions exist, so no invariant lines through the origin. For lines of the form y = mx + c, a similar substitution shows no invariant lines either. Instead, the geometry can be interpreted as a rotation-stretch combination that maps most lines to new positions.
要寻找形如 y = mx 的不变直线，我们需要解 [[0, -1], [2, 0]] [x, mx]ᵀ = [x’, mx’]ᵀ，要求像点落在同一直线上。这导出方程 2x = m(-mx) 且 -x = m(2x)，可得 m² = -2。无实数解，所以不存在过原点的不变直线。对于 y = mx + c 的直线，类似代入也显示不存在不变直线。反之，这种旋转-拉伸复合变换将几乎所有直线映射到新位置，这需要通过矩阵的几何意义来理解。
This exercise links matrix algebra with coordinate geometry, reinforcing the need to check both homogeneous and non-homogeneous invariant lines.
此题将矩阵代数与坐标几何联系起来，强化了检验齐次与非齐次不变直线的必要。
3. Vectors and Calculus: Particle Motion Along a Parametric Path | 向量与微积分：参数路径上的粒子运动
A particle’s position vector at time t is given by r(t) = (t²)i + (t³)j. Find its velocity and acceleration vectors. Determine the equation of the tangent to the path at t = 1, and calculate the angle between the velocity and acceleration at that instant.
一质点在时刻 t 的位置向量为 r(t) = (t²)i + (t³)j。求其速度和加速度向量。求在 t = 1 时路径的切线方程，并计算该时刻速度与加速度之间的夹角。
Differentiating, v(t) = dr/dt = (2t)i + (3t²)j; a(t) = d²r/dt² = 2i + (6t)j. At t = 1, v = 2i + 3j, a = 2i + 6j.
微分得 v(t) = dr/dt = (2t)i + (3t²)j；a(t) = d²r/dt² = 2i + (6t)j。在 t = 1 时，v = 2i + 3j，a = 2i + 6j。
The tangent line passes through the point (1, 1) and has direction vector v. Its cartesian equation is (x – 1)/2 = (y – 1)/3, giving 3x – 2y = 1.
切线经过点 (1, 1) 且方向向量为 v。其笛卡尔方程为 (x – 1)/2 = (y – 1)/3，整理得 3x – 2y = 1。
The angle θ between v and a satisfies cos θ = (v · a) / (|v||a|) = (4 + 18) / (√13 × √40) = 22 / (2√130) = 11/√130. Thus θ ≈ 15.3°.
v 与 a 的夹角 θ 满足 cos θ = (v · a) / (|v||a|) = (4 + 18) / (√13 × √40) = 22 / (2√130) = 11/√130。故 θ ≈ 15.3°。
This problem integrates vector kinematics with basic calculus and geometry, showing how differentiation links the components of motion.
该题融合了向量运动学、基础微积分和几何，展现了微分如何连接运动的各个分量。
4. Polar Coordinates and Integration: Area of a Cardioid | 极坐标与积分：心形线的面积
The polar curve C has equation r = 2(1 + cos θ). Sketch the curve and find the total area enclosed by C using a single polar integration. Also, verify that the area is 6π.
极坐标曲线 C 的方程为 r = 2(1 + cos θ)。勾勒曲线并利用一次极坐标积分求出 C 所围总面积。同时验证面积为 6π。
The curve is symmetric about the initial line θ = 0. The total area A = ½ ∫₀²π r² dθ = ½ ∫₀²π 4(1 + cos θ)² dθ = 2 ∫₀²π (1 + 2cos θ + cos²θ) dθ.
曲线关于极轴 θ = 0 对称。总面积 A = ½ ∫₀²π r² dθ = ½ ∫₀²π 4(1 + cos θ)² dθ = 2 ∫₀²π (1 + 2cos θ + cos²θ) dθ。
Using the identity cos²θ = ½(1 + cos 2θ), we get A = 2 ∫₀²π [1 + 2cos θ + ½ + ½cos 2θ] dθ = 2 ∫₀²π (3/2 + 2cos θ + ½cos 2θ) dθ = 2 [ (3/2)θ + 2sin θ + (1/4) sin 2θ ]₀²π = 2 × (3π + 0 + 0) = 6π.
利用恒等式 cos²θ = ½(1 + cos 2θ)，得 A = 2 ∫₀²π [1 + 2cos θ + ½ + ½cos 2θ] dθ = 2 ∫₀²π (3/2 + 2cos θ + ½cos 2θ) dθ = 2 [ (3/2)θ + 2sin θ + (1/4) sin 2θ ]₀²π = 2 × (3π + 0 + 0) = 6π。
These steps illustrate how polar integration often combines with trigonometric identities, a typical cross-topic linkage in Further Mathematics.
这些步骤说明了极坐标积分常常需要结合三角恒等式，这是进阶数学中典型的跨主题联系。
5. Hyperbolic Functions and Differentiation: Equation Solving and Rates | 双曲函数与微分：解方程与变化率
Given that sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 and cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2, solve the equation sinh x + cosh x = 5. Hence find the values of tanh x at the solution, and determine dy/dx if y = arsinh(x/2).
已知 sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 且 cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2，解方程 sinh x + cosh x = 5。由此求出在该解处 tanh x 的值，并求 y = arsinh(x/2) 的导数。
Using the definitions, sinh x + cosh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ + eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 = eˣ. So eˣ = 5, giving x = ln 5.
利用定义，sinh x + cosh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ + eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 = eˣ。故 eˣ = 5，得 x = ln 5。
Then tanh x = sinh x / cosh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/(eˣ + e⁻ˣ) = (5 – 1/5)/(5 + 1/5) = (24/5)/(26/5) = 12/13.
那么 tanh x = sinh x / cosh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/(eˣ + e⁻ˣ) = (5 – 1/5)/(5 + 1/5) = (24/5)/(26/5) = 12/13。
For y = arsinh(x/2), differentiate: dy/dx = 1/√(1 + (x/2)²) * (1/2) = 1/√(4 + x²). This derivative links hyperbolic inverses to standard algebraic expressions.
对 y = arsinh(x/2) 求导：dy/dx = 1/√(1 + (x/2)²) × (1/2) = 1/√(4 + x²)。这个导数将反双曲函数与代数表达式联系起来。
These manipulations demand fluency with exponential reformulations and chain rule – a skill that crosses pure mathematics topics seamlessly.
这类操作要求熟练运用指数形式重写和链式法则——这是一项可无缝穿梭于纯数学各主题间的技能。
6. Series and Induction: Sum of r(r+1) with Divisibility Proof | 级数与归纳法：Σ r(r+1) 求和及整除性证明
Prove by induction that Σ (from r=1 to n) r(r+1) = n(n+1)(n+2)/3 for all positive integers n. Then, using this result, evaluate Σ (from r=5 to 20) r(r+1).
用数学归纳法证明对一切正整数 n，Σ (r=1 到 n) r(r+1) = n(n+1)(n+2)/3。然后利用此结果计算 Σ (r=5 到 20) r(r+1)。
Base case n=1: LHS = 1×2 = 2; RHS = 1×2×3/3 = 2. Assume true for n=k: Σ_{r=1}^{k} r(r+1) = k(k+1)(k+2)/3.
奠基步 n=1：左边 = 1×2 = 2；右边 = 1×2×3/3 = 2。假设 n=k 时成立：Σ_{r=1}^{k} r(r+1) = k(k+1)(k+2)/3。
For n=k+1, sum = k(k+1)(k+2)/3 + (k+1)(k+2) = (k+1)(k+2)(k/3 + 1) = (k+1)(k+2)(k+3)/3, completing the induction.
对于 n=k+1，总和 = k(k+1)(k+2)/3 + (k+1)(k+2) = (k+1)(k+2)(k/3 + 1) = (k+1)(k+2)(k+3)/3，完成归纳。
Required sum = Σ_{1}^{20} – Σ_{1}^{4} = (20×21×22)/3 – (4×5×6)/3 = 3080 – 40 = 3040. This combines series work with induction, linking two fundamental Pure topics.
所求求和 = Σ_{1}^{20} – Σ_{1}^{4} = (20×21×22)/3 – (4×5×6)/3 = 3080 – 40 = 3040。这结合了级数与归纳法，连接了两个纯数学的基础主题。
7. Matrices and Simultaneous Equations: Geometric Interpretation of Inconsistency | 矩阵与线性方程组：不相容系统的几何解释
Consider the system: x + 2y = 5, 2x – y = 3, 3x + y = 8. Express it in matrix form Ax = b. Determine whether a solution exists. If not, find the least-squares solution (if covered) or describe the geometric meaning of the inconsistency.
考虑方程组：x + 2y = 5，2x – y = 3，3x + y = 8。用矩阵形式 Ax = b 表示。判断解是否存在。如果不存在，求出最小二乘解（如果课程涉及）或描述不相容的几何意义。
Matrix A is 3×2, b is 3×1. The augmented matrix [A|b] row reduces to show that the third row becomes 0 = -1 after elimination, so the system is inconsistent.
矩阵 A 为 3×2，b 为 3×1。增广矩阵 [A|b] 经行化简后可显示第三行化为 0 = -1，因此方程组不相容。
Geometrically, three lines in the plane do not intersect at a common point; they form a triangle. The first two lines intersect at (1.6, 1.2) (solving first two), but the third line does not pass through this point. This highlights how matrices can capture geometric configurations beyond simple two-equation systems.
几何上，平面上三条直线没有公共交点，它们构成一个三角形。前两条直线的交点为 (1.6, 1.2)（解前两个方程），但第三条直线不经过该点。这凸显了矩阵如何表达超出简单两方程体系的几何构型。
If we pursued a least-squares solution, we would solve AᵀA x = Aᵀb, but this is often part of Further statistics options. Here, pure geometry suffices.
如果我们寻求最小二乘解，需求解 AᵀA x = Aᵀb，但这常属于进阶统计部分。这里纯几何解释就足够了。
8. Complex Numbers and Loci: Intersection of Two Argand Curves | 复数与轨迹：阿干特图中两曲线的交点
Given the locus |z – 3| = 2|z + i|, show that it represents a circle. Find its centre and radius. Then find the points of intersection of this circle with the line |z| = |z – 4|.
给定轨迹 |z – 3| = 2|z + i|，证明它表示一个圆。求其圆心和半径。然后求出该圆与直线 |z| = |z – 4| 的交点。
Let z = x + iy. Then |x + iy – 3|² = 4|x + iy + i|². Expand: (x-3)² + y² = 4[x² + (y+1)²
