1. Overview of Edexcel Maths Paper 2 | 试卷概览
Paper 2 is a 1 hour 30 minute written paper worth 80 marks. It covers pure mathematics content only, with no statistics or mechanics. Questions range from short structured items to multi-step proof and modelling tasks.
Paper 2 为 1 小时 30 分钟的笔试，满分 80 分。它只考查纯数学内容，不涉及统计或力学。题型包括短结构题以及多步骤证明和建模题。
The paper usually contains 10 to 12 questions, and the final questions often involve extended problem solving, proof or unfamiliar contexts. Marks are awarded for method, accuracy and clarity of reasoning, so always show your working.
试卷通常包含 10 到 12 道题，最后几题往往涉及扩展问题求解、证明或陌生情境。分数按方法、准确性和推理清晰度给分，因此务必展示解题过程。
2. Algebra and Functions | 代数与函数
Expect to use the factor theorem and remainder theorem to factorise cubic or quartic expressions. For example, if f(2) = 0 for f(x) = 2x³ − 5x² + x + 2, then (x − 2) is a factor of f(x).
你需要运用因式定理和余式定理来对三次或四次多项式进行因式分解。例如，若 f(x) = 2x³ − 5x² + x + 2 且 f(2) = 0，则 (x − 2) 是 f(x) 的一个因式。
Partial fractions also appear regularly. You must be able to split a rational expression into simpler fractions, such as expressing 5x + 1 over (x − 1)(x + 3) in the form A over (x − 1) plus B over (x + 3).
部分分式也经常出现。你必须能把一个有理式拆成更简单的分式，例如将 (5x + 1) ÷ [(x − 1)(x + 3)] 写成 A ÷ (x − 1) 加 B ÷ (x + 3) 的形式。
Functions questions test domain, range, inverse functions and the modulus function. Remember that the domain of an inverse function is the range of the original function, and graphs of y = |f(x)| never go below the x-axis.
函数题考查定义域、值域、反函数和绝对值函数。请记住：反函数的定义域是原函数的值域，且 y = |f(x)| 的图像不会落在 x 轴下方。
3. Trigonometry | 三角学
Radians are essential in Paper 2. Know that π radians = 180°, and be confident using sine, cosine and tangent graphs in radian mode. Arc length is given by s = rθ and sector area by A = ½ r²θ.
弧度制在 Paper 2 中至关重要。要记住 π 弧度 = 180°，并能熟练使用弧度模式下的正弦、余弦和正切图像。弧长公式为 s = rθ，扇形面积公式为 A = ½ r²θ。
You must solve trigonometric equations over a given interval, such as sin 2θ = 0.6 for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Use identities like tan θ = sin θ ÷ cos θ and sin² θ + cos² θ = 1 to reduce the equation to a single ratio.
你必须能在给定区间上解三角方程，例如在 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π 上解 sin 2θ = 0.6。利用恒等式如 tan θ = sin θ ÷ cos θ 以及 sin² θ + cos² θ = 1，将方程化为单一三角函数比。
Sine and cosine rules are common in triangle problems. For a triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C, use the cosine rule a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A when you know two sides and the included angle.
正弦定理和余弦定理常见于三角形问题。对于边为 a、b、c，对角为 A、B、C 的三角形，当已知两边及夹角时，使用余弦定理 a² = b² + c² − 2bc cos A。
4. Exponentials and Logarithms | 指数与对数
The natural exponential eˣ and natural logarithm ln x are central to Paper 2. Remember ln x is the inverse of eˣ, so ln eᵃ = a and eˡⁿ ˣ = x for x > 0.
自然指数 eˣ 和自然对数 ln x 是 Paper 2 的核心。记住 ln x 是 eˣ 的反函数，因此 ln eᵃ = a，且当 x > 0 时 eˡⁿ ˣ = x。
Laws of logarithms let you simplify expressions: ln ab = ln a + ln b, ln (a ÷ b) = ln a − ln b, and ln aⁿ = n ln a. Use these to solve equations like e³ˣ⁺¹ = 7 by taking ln of both sides.
对数运算法则可以帮助化简表达式：ln ab = ln a + ln b，ln (a ÷ b) = ln a − ln b，ln aⁿ = n ln a。利用这些法则解方程，如 e³ˣ⁺¹ = 7，可两边同时取自然对数。
Exponential growth and decay models are often assessed. The general form is P = P₀eᵏᵗ, where k > 0 gives growth and k < 0 gives decay. You may have to find k from given data and then predict future values.
指数增长与衰减模型也经常考查。一般形式为 P = P₀eᵏᵗ，其中 k > 0 表示增长，k < 0 表示衰减。你可能需要根据给定数据求出 k，再预测未来值。
5. Differentiation | 微分
Core derivative rules must be fluent: the product rule, quotient rule and chain rule. For y = u·v, dy/dx = u·v’ + v·u’. For y = u ÷ v, dy/dx = (v·u’ − u·v’) ÷ v².
核心求导法则必须熟练：乘法法则、除法法则和链式法则。对于 y = u·v，dy/dx = u·v’ + v·u’。对于 y = u ÷ v，dy/dx = (v·u’ − u·v’) ÷ v²。
Second derivatives tell you about concavity and help classify stationary points. If dy/dx = 0 and d²y/dx² > 0, the point is a local minimum; if d²y/dx² < 0, it is a local maximum.
二阶导数可以判断凹凸性并帮助对驻点进行分类。若 dy/dx = 0 且 d²y/dx² > 0，该点为局部极小值点；若 d²y/dx² < 0，则为局部极大值点。
Optimisation and rates of change are common applied problems. For example, express the volume of an open box in terms of a single variable, differentiate to find the maximum, and confirm it is a maximum using the second derivative.
最优化和变化率是常见的应用题。例如，将无盖盒子的体积表示成单一变量的函数，求导以找到最大值，并用二阶导数确认其为最大值。
6. Integration | 微分逆运算与积分
Integration reverses differentiation. Standard results include ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ ÷ (n + 1) + C for n ≠ −1, and ∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + C, ∫ 1/x dx = ln |x| + C.
积分是微分的逆运算。标准结果包括：当 n ≠ −1 时，∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ ÷ (n + 1) + C；另有 ∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + C，∫ 1/x dx = ln |x| + C。
Definite integrals give the exact area under a curve between two limits. The area between y = f(x), the x-axis, x = a and x = b is ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx. Be careful when the curve crosses the x-axis.
定积分可求出曲线与 x 轴在两条竖直线之间的精确面积。y = f(x)、x 轴、x = a 和 x = b 围成的面积为 ∫ₐᵇ f(x) dx。当曲线穿过 x 轴时要特别小心。
Substitution and integration by parts are expected in Paper 2. The by-parts formula is ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du. Choose u using the LIATE order: logarithmic, inverse trig, algebraic, trig, exponential.
换元积分和分部积分是 Paper 2 的必考内容。分部积分公式为 ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du。选择 u 时可参考 LIATE 顺序：对数、反三角、代数、三角、指数函数。
7. Sequences and Series | 数列与级数
Arithmetic sequences have a common difference d. The nth term is aₙ = a + (n − 1)d, and the sum of the first n terms is Sₙ = n ÷ 2 × (2a + (n − 1)d).
等差数列具有公差 d。第 n 项为 aₙ = a + (n − 1)d，前 n 项和为 Sₙ = n ÷ 2 × (2a + (n − 1)d)。
Geometric sequences have a common ratio r. The nth term is aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹, and the sum Sₙ = a(1 − rⁿ) ÷ (1 − r) for r ≠ 1. A geometric series converges if |r| < 1, with infinite sum S∞ = a ÷ (1 − r).
等比数列具有公比 r。第 n 项为 aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹，前 n 项和 Sₙ = a(1 − rⁿ) ÷ (1 − r)，其中 r ≠ 1。若 |r| < 1，等比级数收敛，无穷和为 S∞ = a ÷ (1 − r)。
Sigma notation Σ is used to write sums compactly. You may need to split the sum, identify arithmetic or geometric parts, and apply the appropriate formula.
求和符号 Σ 用来紧凑地表示求和。你可能需要拆开求和式，识别其中的等差或等比部分，再套用相应公式。
8. Binomial Expansion | 二项式展开
The expansion of (1 + x)ⁿ is valid for |x| < 1 when n is not a positive integer. The general binomial formula gives 1 + nx + n(n − 1)x² ÷ 2! + n(n − 1)(n − 2)x³ ÷ 3! + ...
当 n 不是正整数时，(1 + x)ⁿ 的展开在 |x| < 1 时成立。一般二项式公式为 1 + nx + n(n − 1)x² ÷ 2! + n(n − 1)(n − 2)x³ ÷ 3! + ...
You must be able to expand expressions like (2 + kx)⁻¹ or (1 − 3x)^½ and state the range of x for which the expansion is valid. Factor out the constant first to write it in the form (1 + … )ⁿ.
你必须能展开形如 (2 + kx)⁻¹ 或 (1 − 3x)^½ 的表达式，并说明展开有效的 x 范围。先把常数因子提出来，写成 (1 + … )ⁿ 的形式。
Binomial expansions are often used for approximations. For example, replacing x by a small value gives an approximate value for a square root or reciprocal.
二项式展开常用于近似计算。例如，将 x 替换成一个小数值，可得到平方根或倒数的近似值。
9. Numerical Methods | 数值方法
Locating roots often begins with a sign change. If f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs and f is continuous, then a root lies between a and b. Always quote the interval and the sign change clearly.
找根通常从符号变化开始。如果 f(a) 与 f(b) 异号且 f 连续，则在 a 与 b 之间存在一个根。请清楚写出区间和符号变化。
Iteration rearranges an equation into the form x = g(x). Starting with x₀, repeatedly calculate xₙ₊₁ = g(xₙ) until the values converge. Show each step to the required degree of accuracy.
迭代法将方程改写为 x = g(x)。从 x₀ 出发，反复计算 xₙ₊₁ = g(xₙ)，直到数值收敛。按要求的精度展示每一步。
The Newton-Raphson method uses the tangent formula xₙ₊₁ = xₙ − f(xₙ) ÷ f'(xₙ). It converges quickly but can fail if the starting value is close to a stationary point.
牛顿-拉弗森法使用切线迭代公式 xₙ₊₁ = xₙ − f(xₙ) ÷ f'(xₙ)。它收敛很快，但当初始值接近驻点时可能失败。
10. Vectors and Parametric Equations | 向量与参数方程
Vector questions ask for magnitudes, unit vectors and the angle between vectors. For vector a = xi + yj, the magnitude is |a| = √(x² + y²), and the scalar product satisfies a · b = |a||b| cos θ.
向量题考查模长、单位向量和两向量夹角。对于向量 a = xi + yj，模长为 |a| = √(x² + y²)，数量积满足 a · b = |a||b| cos θ。
Parametric equations define x and y in terms of a third variable, often t. To find the Cartesian equation, eliminate t. To differentiate, use dy/dx = (dy/dt) ÷ (dx/dt).
参数方程用第三个变量（通常为 t）来表示 x 和 y。要求直角坐标方程，就消去 t；要求导，使用 dy/dx = (dy/dt) ÷ (dx/dt)。
You may also meet integration or differentiation of parametric curves, such as finding the equation of a tangent at a given value of t.
你还会遇到参数曲线的微分或积分，例如求某个 t 值处的切线方程。
11. Proof and Modelling | 证明与建模
Proof questions require a logical sequence of statements. Common methods include direct proof, proof by exhaustion for small sets, proof by contradiction, and disproof by counterexample.
证明题要求有逻辑地书写推理步骤。常见方法包括直接证明、对有限集合的穷举证明、反证法以及用反例进行反驳。
Modelling tasks connect pure mathematics to real contexts. You must interpret the model, state assumptions such as smooth motion or constant rate, and discuss whether the model is valid at extreme values.
建模题将纯数学与现实情境联系起来。你必须解释模型、说明假设（如运动平滑或速率恒定），并讨论模型在极端值处是否有效。
Always finish a modelling or proof question by returning to the original context. A final sentence such as ‘therefore the claim holds for all n’ or ‘the model predicts 25.4 m’ gains communication marks.
完成建模或证明题时，务必回到原情境。最后一句如“因此该命题对所有 n 成立”或“模型预测为 25.4 m”能拿到表达分。
12. Exam Technique and Common Pitfalls | 应试技巧与常见错误
Manage your time: Paper 2 gives about 1 minute 8 seconds per mark. Do not spend too long on early questions; the last questions are worth many marks and are designed to differentiate strong candidates.
合理安排时间：Paper 2 大约每 1 分对应 1 分 8 秒。不要在早期题目上耗时过多；最后几题分值高，是用来区分优秀考生的。
Common pitfalls include forgetting to convert degrees to radians, losing the constant of integration +C, mixing up the quotient rule, and not checking the validity interval in binomial expansions.
常见错误包括：忘记将角度制转换成弧度制、漏掉积分常数 +C、混淆除法求导法则、以及未检查二项式展开的有效区间。
When reading the question, underline command words and numerical accuracy instructions. Round only at the final answer, and always check that your solution matches the requested form, such as exact form or 3 significant figures.
审题时，划出指令词和数值精度要求。只在最后一步四舍五入，并始终检查你的答案是否符合题目要求的形式，如精确值或保留 3 位有效数字。
