可能需要坐标纸绘制曲线，但精确描点通常不是主要考查点。

Total marks = 100, Time = 120 minutes

总分 = 100 分，时间 = 120 分钟

2. Algebraic Manipulation | 代数化简

Algebraic manipulation is the foundation of nearly every question. You must be confident with expanding brackets, factorising, completing the square, and simplifying rational expressions.

代数化简是几乎所有题目的基础。你必须熟练掌握展开括号、因式分解、配方法以及化简有理式。

For example, simplify (2x + 1)² – (x – 3)(x + 2). First expand each product, then collect like terms.

例如，化简 (2x + 1)² – (x – 3)(x + 2)。首先展开每个乘积，然后合并同类项。

(2x + 1)² = 4x² + 4x + 1

(x – 3)(x + 2) = x² – x – 6

Result = 4x² + 4x + 1 – (x² – x – 6) = 3x² + 5x + 7

结果 = 4x² + 4x + 1 – (x² – x – 6) = 3x² + 5x + 7

Always watch for sign errors when subtracting brackets. Write the subtracted polynomial in brackets before removing them.

减去括号时要注意符号错误。在去掉括号前，先把被减的多项式写在括号里。

3. Quadratic Functions and the Discriminant | 二次函数与判别式

Quadratic equations appear in many forms. For ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by Δ = b² – 4ac. It tells you the nature of the roots.

二次方程以多种形式出现。对于 ax² + bx + c = 0，判别式为 Δ = b² – 4ac。它可以判断根的性质。

Condition	Number of real roots	条件	实根数量
b² – 4ac > 0	2 distinct real roots	b² – 4ac > 0	2 个不同实根
b² – 4ac = 0	1 repeated real root	b² – 4ac = 0	1 个重实根
b² – 4ac < 0	no real roots	b² – 4ac < 0	无实根

A typical question asks you to find the range of k such that the equation x² + kx + 4 = 0 has two distinct real roots. Set the discriminant greater than zero.

典型题目要求你求 k 的取值范围，使方程 x² + kx + 4 = 0 有两个不同实根。令判别式大于零。

Δ = k² – 16 > 0 ⇒ k < -4 or k > 4

Δ = k² – 16 > 0 ⇒ k < -4 或 k > 4

4. Graphs and Transformations | 函数图像与变换

You need to sketch graphs of polynomials, reciprocals, exponentials, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Transformations include translations, stretches, and reflections.

你需要绘制多项式、倒数、指数、对数和三角函数的图像。图像变换包括平移、伸缩和翻折。

Given y = f(x), the transformation y = f(x – a) represents a translation a units to the right. The transformation y = f(ax) is a horizontal stretch by scale factor 1/a.

给定 y = f(x)，变换 y = f(x – a) 表示向右平移 a 个单位。变换 y = f(ax) 表示水平方向按 1/a 的倍数伸缩。

y = f(x) + a: vertical translation upwards by a.
y = f(x) + a：向上垂直平移 a 个单位。
y = -f(x): reflection in the x-axis.
y = -f(x)：关于 x 轴翻折。
y = f(-x): reflection in the y-axis.
y = f(-x)：关于 y 轴翻折。

When sketching reciprocal graphs, identify vertical asymptotes where the denominator equals zero and horizontal asymptotes as x tends to infinity.

绘制倒数函数图像时，要找到分母为零处的垂直渐近线，以及 x 趋向无穷时的水平渐近线。

5. Trigonometry and Identities | 三角学与恒等式

Trigonometric questions often require solving equations in a given interval, using exact values and identities such as sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 and tan θ = sin θ / cos θ.

三角学题目通常要求在给定区间内解方程，使用精确值和恒等式，如 sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 以及 tan θ = sin θ / cos θ。

To solve 2 sin²θ – cos θ – 1 = 0 for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 360°, first replace sin²θ with 1 – cos²θ to form a quadratic in cos θ.

解方程 2 sin²θ – cos θ – 1 = 0，其中 0 ≤ θ ≤ 360°，首先将 sin²θ 替换为 1 – cos²θ，得到关于 cos θ 的二次方程。

2(1 – cos²θ) – cos θ – 1 = 0 ⇒ 2 cos²θ + cos θ – 1 = 0

Factorise to (2 cos θ – 1)(cos θ + 1) = 0, giving cos θ = 1/2 or cos θ = -1. Then find all solutions in the interval using the CAST diagram or graph.

因式分解得 (2 cos θ – 1)(cos θ + 1) = 0，得到 cos θ = 1/2 或 cos θ = -1。然后利用 CAST 图或图像在区间内找到所有解。

6. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions | 指数与对数函数

Exponential growth and decay models use functions of the form y = a e^(kx). The natural logarithm is the inverse operation, so ln(e^x) = x and e^(ln x) = x.

指数增长和衰减模型使用 y = a e^(kx) 形式的函数。自然对数是指数的逆运算，因此 ln(e^x) = x 且 e^(ln x) = x。

To solve e^(2x – 1) = 5, take natural logarithms of both sides: 2x – 1 = ln 5, then rearrange to x = (1 + ln 5)/2.

解方程 e^(2x – 1) = 5，两边取自然对数：2x – 1 = ln 5，然后整理得 x = (1 + ln 5)/2。

When a population doubles every 3 hours, the model is P = P₀ × 2^(t/3). Equivalently, P = P₀ e^(kt) where k = (ln 2)/3.

当种群每 3 小时翻一倍时，模型为 P = P₀ × 2^(t/3)。等价地，P = P₀ e^(kt)，其中 k = (ln 2)/3。

logₐ(x) = ln x / ln a allows change of base.
logₐ(x) = ln x / ln a 可用于换底。
ln(xy) = ln x + ln y; ln(x/y) = ln x – ln y.
ln(xy) = ln x + ln y；ln(x/y) = ln x – ln y。

7. Differentiation | 微分

Differentiation measures the rate of change and gives the gradient of a curve. For y = xⁿ, dy/dx = n xⁿ⁻¹. You must also apply the chain rule, product rule, and quotient rule.

微分度量变化率并给出曲线的斜率。对于 y = xⁿ，dy/dx = n xⁿ⁻¹。你还必须掌握链式法则、乘法法则和除法法则。

Chain rule: if y = f(g(x)), then dy/dx = f'(g(x)) × g'(x). For example, y = (3x² + 2)⁵ gives dy/dx = 5(3x² + 2)⁴ × 6x = 30x(3x² + 2)⁴.

链式法则：若 y = f(g(x))，则 dy/dx = f'(g(x)) × g'(x)。例如，y = (3x² + 2)⁵ 得 dy/dx = 5(3x² + 2)⁴ × 6x = 30x(3x² + 2)⁴。

A stationary point occurs when dy/dx = 0. To classify it, use the second derivative: if d²y/dx² > 0 it is a local minimum; if d²y/dx² < 0 it is a local maximum.

驻点出现在 dy/dx = 0 处。要判断其性质，使用二阶导数：若 d²y/dx² > 0 则为局部极小值；若 d²y/dx² < 0 则为局部极大值。

Given y = x³ – 3x, dy/dx = 3x² – 3 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1

给定 y = x³ – 3x，dy/dx = 3x² – 3 = 0 ⇒ x = ±1

At x = 1, d²y/dx² = 6 > 0, so there is a local minimum. At x = -1, d²y/dx² = -6 < 0, so there is a local maximum.

在 x = 1 处，d²y/dx² = 6 > 0，所以有局部极小值。在 x = -1 处，d²y/dx² = -6 < 0，所以有局部极大值。

8. Integration | 积分

Integration is the reverse of differentiation. The indefinite integral of xⁿ is ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C, provided n ≠ -1. For n = -1, ∫ x⁻¹ dx = ln|x| + C.

积分是微分的逆运算。xⁿ 的不定积分为 ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C，条件是 n ≠ -1。对于 n = -1，∫ x⁻¹ dx = ln|x| + C。

Definite integrals are used to find the area under a curve between two limits. For y = f(x), the area from x = a to x = b is A = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx.

定积分用于求曲线在两点之间的面积。对于 y = f(x)，从 x = a 到 x = b 的面积为 A = ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx。

To find the area enclosed by a curve and a line, calculate the area under the curve and subtract the area under the line, or integrate the difference of the two functions.

求曲线与直线围成的面积时，计算曲线下的面积并减去直线下的面积，或对两个函数之差进行积分。

∫₀² (4x – x²) dx = [2x² – x³/3]₀² = 8 – 8/3 = 16/3

9. Vectors in Pure Mathematics | 纯数学中的向量

Vectors are quantities with both magnitude and direction. In two dimensions, a vector can be written as a column vector or in terms of unit vectors i and j.

向量是具有大小和方向的量。在二维中，向量可以写为列向量或用单位向量 i 和 j 表示。

The magnitude of vector a = xi + yj is |a| = √(x² + y²). The direction angle from the positive x-axis is θ = tan⁻¹(y/x).

向量 a = xi + yj 的模长为 |a| = √(x² + y²)。从 x 轴正方向量起的角度为 θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)。

To find the angle between two vectors a and b, use the scalar product: a · b = |a||b| cos θ. Therefore cos θ = (a · b)/(|a||b|).

求两个向量 a 和 b 之间的夹角，使用数量积：a · b = |a||b| cos θ。因此 cos θ = (a · b)/(|a||b|)。

When a particle moves with constant velocity vector v, its position vector at time t is r = r₀ + vt, where r₀ is the initial position vector.

当质点以恒定速度向量 v 运动时，其在时间 t 的位置向量为 r = r₀ + vt，其中 r₀ 为初始位置向量。

10. Proof and Mathematical Argument | 证明与数学论证

Proof questions require a logical sequence of statements leading to a conclusion. Common methods include direct proof, proof by contradiction, and proof by exhaustion.

证明题要求通过一系列逻辑陈述得出结论。常用方法包括直接证明、反证法和穷举证明。

Proof by contradiction: assume the opposite of what you want to prove, then show this assumption leads to a contradiction. A classic example is proving √2 is irrational.

反证法：假设你想证明的结论的反面成立，然后证明这个假设导致矛盾。经典例子是证明 √2 是无理数。

Direct proof often uses known facts such as odd number = 2n + 1 and even number = 2n. For example, prove that the sum of two odd numbers is always even.

直接证明常使用已知事实，例如奇数 = 2n + 1，偶数 = 2n。例如，证明两个奇数之和总是偶数。

(2m + 1) + (2n + 1) = 2m + 2n + 2 = 2(m + n + 1)

Since 2(m + n + 1) is divisible by 2, the sum is even. Always finish a proof with a clear concluding statement.

由于 2(m + n + 1) 能被 2 整除，所以和为偶数。证明结束后一定要写出明确的结论。

11. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数

Arithmetic sequences have a constant difference between consecutive terms. The nth term is uₙ = a + (n – 1)d, and the sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d].

等差数列相邻两项的差为常数。第 n 项为 uₙ = a + (n – 1)d，前 n 项和为 Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d]。

Geometric sequences have a constant ratio between consecutive terms. The nth term is uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, and the sum to n terms is Sₙ = a(1 – rⁿ)/(1 – r) for r ≠ 1.

等比数列相邻两项的比为常数。第 n 项为 uₙ = arⁿ⁻¹，前 n 项和为 Sₙ = a(1 – rⁿ)/(1 – r)，其中 r ≠ 1。

The sum to infinity of a geometric series exists only when |r| < 1, and is given by S∞ = a/(1 – r).

等比级数的无穷和仅在 |r| < 1 时存在，公式为 S∞ = a/(1 – r)。

A common exam question involves linking two sequence terms using simultaneous equations to find a and r or d.

常见的考试题目会通过两个数列项的联立方程来求 a 和 r 或 d。

12. Exam Strategy and Common Mistakes | 考试策略与常见错误

Before answering, read the question carefully and identify the topic. Underline key information such as exact answer, range of values, or units. Plan your working before writing.

作答前，仔细阅读题目并确定考点。圈出关键信息，如精确答案、取值范围或单位。动笔前先规划解题步骤。

Common mistakes include dropping constants when integrating, forgetting the ± when taking square roots, and not checking whether a stationary point is a maximum or minimum.

常见错误包括积分时遗漏常数、开平方时忘记 ±，以及未判断驻点是极大值还是极小值。

Always check factorisation by expansion.
通过展开来检验因式分解是否正确。
Write the full method, not just the answer.
写出完整步骤，不要只写答案。
For exact value questions, leave answers in surd or π form, not decimal approximations.
对于要求精确值的题目，答案保留根式或 π 形式，不要写成小数近似。

Time management is essential: if you are stuck on a part, move on and return to it later. Aim to leave at least 15 minutes for checking.

时间管理非常重要：如果被某个小问卡住，先跳过，稍后再回来看。目标留出至少 15 分钟检查。
