1. Exam Structure and Command Words | 考试结构与指令词
Edexcel Paper 1 contains short multi-mark questions and longer problem-solving questions. You must read the command word carefully before answering: ‘state’ means write down the answer without working, ‘show that’ means give a complete logical proof, and ‘hence’ means you must use the previous result, not an alternative method.
Edexcel 试卷一包含短小的多分题和较长的解决问题类题目。作答前必须仔细阅读指令词：’state’ 表示直接写下答案，无需过程；’show that’ 表示需要给出完整的逻辑证明；’hence’ 表示必须使用上一问的结果，而不能使用其他方法。
- Common command words: prove, show that, solve, sketch, find, hence, deduce, evaluate, explain.
- 常见指令词：prove、show that、solve、sketch、find、hence、deduce、evaluate、explain。
Plan your time: roughly 1.2 minutes per mark, so an 8-mark question should take about 10 minutes. Leave time at the end to check numerical answers and sign errors in differentiation.
合理规划时间：大约每分钟 1.2 分，因此一道 8 分的题目应花费约 10 分钟。最后留出时间检查数值答案和微分中的符号错误。
2. Algebraic Manipulation and Laws of Indices | 代数运算与指数定律
Pure Paper 1 frequently tests simplification of surds, rationalising denominators, negative and fractional powers, and factorising. Remember the core laws: aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ, aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ, (aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ, a⁰ = 1, and a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ.
纯数学试卷一经常考查根式化简、分母有理化、负指数和分数指数以及因式分解。记住核心定律：aᵐ × aⁿ = aᵐ⁺ⁿ，aᵐ ÷ aⁿ = aᵐ⁻ⁿ，(aᵐ)ⁿ = aᵐⁿ，a⁰ = 1，a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ。
A common mistake is writing (x + y)² as x² + y². The correct expansion is x² + 2xy + y². Similarly, √(x² + y²) is not equal to x + y.
一个常见错误是把 (x + y)² 写成 x² + y²。正确的展开是 x² + 2xy + y²。同样地，√(x² + y²) 不等于 x + y。
Exam-style question: Simplify fully 3√8 + √50 – 2√18. First rewrite each surd: 3√8 = 6√2, √50 = 5√2, 2√18 = 6√2, giving 6√2 + 5√2 – 6√2 = 5√2.
考试风格题： 化简 3√8 + √50 – 2√18。先将每个根式改写：3√8 = 6√2，√50 = 5√2，2√18 = 6√2，得到 6√2 + 5√2 – 6√2 = 5√2。
3. Quadratics, Inequalities, and the Discriminant | 二次函数、不等式与判别式
For a quadratic ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant Δ = b² – 4ac determines the nature of the roots: Δ > 0 gives two distinct real roots, Δ = 0 gives one repeated real root, and Δ < 0 gives no real roots.
对于二次方程 ax² + bx + c = 0，判别式 Δ = b² – 4ac 决定根的性质：Δ > 0 有两个不相等的实根，Δ = 0 有一个重根，Δ < 0 没有实根。
Quadratic inequalities should be solved by sketching the graph, not by treating the inequality as an equation. For x² – 5x + 6 < 0, factorise to (x - 2)(x - 3) < 0, then test intervals: the solution is 2 < x < 3.
二次不等式应通过绘制草图来求解，而不是把不等式当作方程来处理。对于 x² – 5x + 6 < 0，因式分解为 (x - 2)(x - 3) < 0，然后检验区间：解集为 2 < x < 3。
Completing the square is also essential for finding the vertex of a parabola and for proving that a quadratic is always positive or negative. Write ax² + bx + c as a(x + b/2a)² + (c – b²/4a).
配方法对于求抛物线的顶点以及证明二次函数恒为正或恒为负也非常重要。将 ax² + bx + c 写成 a(x + b/2a)² + (c – b²/4a)。
4. Polynomials, Factor Theorem, and Remainder Theorem | 多项式、因式定理与余数定理
The factor theorem states that for a polynomial f(x), if f(p) = 0, then (x – p) is a factor of f(x). The remainder theorem states that when f(x) is divided by (x – a), the remainder is f(a).
因式定理指出，对于多项式 f(x)，如果 f(p) = 0，那么 (x – p) 是 f(x) 的一个因式。余数定理指出，当 f(x) 除以 (x – a) 时，余数为 f(a)。
Typical exam questions ask you to find an unknown coefficient, factorise a cubic completely, or sketch a cubic after identifying all roots. Always divide using algebraic long division or compare coefficients after writing f(x) = (x – a)(bx² + cx + d).
典型的考试题会要求你求未知系数、完全分解一个三次多项式，或在确定所有根后绘制三次函数图像。写出 f(x) = (x – a)(bx² + cx + d) 后用代数长除法或比较系数法解题。
Example: f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² – 11x – 6. Try f(2) = 16 + 12 – 22 – 6 = 0, so (x – 2) is a factor. Dividing gives 2x² + 7x + 3 = (2x + 1)(x + 3), so f(x) = (x – 2)(2x + 1)(x + 3).
示例： f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² – 11x – 6。代入 f(2) = 16 + 12 – 22 – 6 = 0，所以 (x – 2) 是一个因式。相除得 2x² + 7x + 3 = (2x + 1)(x + 3)，因此 f(x) = (x – 2)(2x + 1)(x + 3)。
5. Binomial Expansion | 二项式展开
For a positive integer n, the binomial expansion is (a + b)ⁿ = Σ from r = 0 to n of (ⁿCᵣ) aⁿ⁻ʳ bʳ, where ⁿCᵣ = n! / [r!(n – r)!].
对于正整数 n，二项式展开为 (a + b)ⁿ = 从 r = 0 到 n 对 (ⁿCᵣ) aⁿ⁻ʳ bʳ 求和，其中 ⁿCᵣ = n! / [r!(n – r)!]。
Questions often ask for a specific coefficient or for terms independent of x. Write out the general term, simplify powers of x, and set the exponent equal to zero if needed. Also be careful with negative signs when b is negative.
题目经常要求求某一特定系数或与 x 无关的项。写出通项，化简 x 的幂，必要时令其指数为零。当 b 为负数时还要注意符号。
Exam-style question: Find the term independent of x in (2x – 1/x²)⁹. The general term is ⁹Cᵣ (2x)⁹⁻ʳ (-1/x²)ʳ = ⁹Cᵣ 2⁹⁻ʳ (-1)ʳ x⁹⁻ʳ⁻²ʳ. Set 9 – 3r = 0, so r = 3. The term is ⁹C₃ 2⁶ (-1)³ = 84 × 64 × (-1) = -5376.
考试风格题： 求 (2x – 1/x²)⁹ 中与 x 无关的项。通项为 ⁹Cᵣ (2x)⁹⁻ʳ (-1/x²)ʳ = ⁹Cᵣ 2⁹⁻ʳ (-1)ʳ x⁹⁻ʳ⁻²ʳ。令 9 – 3r = 0，得 r = 3。该项为 ⁹C₃ 2⁶ (-1)³ = 84 × 64 × (-1) = -5376。
6. Trigonometry and Trigonometric Identities | 三角学与三角恒等式
Know the exact values for sin, cos, and tan at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. Know the identities tanθ = sinθ / cosθ and sin²θ + cos²θ = 1, and how to solve equations in a given interval by using CAST or the unit circle.
熟记 0°、30°、45°、60° 和 90° 时 sin、cos、tan 的精确值。熟记恒等式 tanθ = sinθ / cosθ 和 sin²θ + cos²θ = 1，并会使用 CAST 图或单位圆在给定区间内解方程。
Quadratic trigonometric equations often appear, such as 2sin²θ + 3sinθ – 2 = 0. Substitute u = sinθ, solve the quadratic, then find all solutions in the interval. Do not divide through by sinθ or cosθ unless you have verified it is non-zero.
二次三角方程经常出现，例如 2sin²θ + 3sinθ – 2 = 0。令 u = sinθ，解出二次方程，然后在区间内求出所有解。除非已验证 sinθ 或 cosθ 不为零，否则不要直接约去。
For solving equations of the form a sinθ ± b cosθ, use the harmonic form R sin(θ ± α) or R cos(θ ± α), where R = √(a² + b²) and α is chosen from the appropriate ratio.
对于形如 a sinθ ± b cosθ 的方程，使用辅助角形式 R sin(θ ± α) 或 R cos(θ ± α)，其中 R = √(a² + b²)，α 根据相应的三角比确定。
7. Exponentials and Logarithms | 指数与对数
The natural logarithm ln x is the inverse of eˣ, so ln(eˣ) = x and e^(ln x) = x. Key laws: logₐ(xy) = logₐx + logₐy, logₐ(x/y) = logₐx – logₐy, and logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐx.
自然对数 ln x 是 eˣ 的反函数，因此 ln(eˣ) = x 且 e^(ln x) = x。关键法则：logₐ(xy) = logₐx + logₐy，logₐ(x/y) = logₐx – logₐy，logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐx。
To solve equations like 3 × 2ˣ = 5ˣ⁺¹, take logs of both sides and use the power rule. For exponential growth and decay models, use the form N = N₀e^(kt) and remember that k > 0 means growth, while k < 0 means decay.
解 3 × 2ˣ = 5ˣ⁺¹ 这类方程时，对方程两边取对数并使用幂法则。对于指数增长和衰减模型，使用 N = N₀e^(kt)，并记住 k > 0 表示增长，k < 0 表示衰减。
Example: Solve ln x + ln(x – 3) = ln 4. Combine logs: ln[x(x – 3)] = ln 4, so x(x – 3) = 4. This gives x² – 3x – 4 = 0, so x = 4 or x = -1. Reject x = -1 because ln x is undefined for negative x, leaving x = 4.
示例： 解 ln x + ln(x – 3) = ln 4。合并对数：ln[x(x – 3)] = ln 4，所以 x(x – 3) = 4。得到 x² – 3x – 4 = 0，因此 x = 4 或 x = -1。由于负数不能取对数，舍去 x = -1，最终 x = 4。
8. Differentiation: Techniques and Applications | 微分：技巧与应用
For y = xⁿ, the derivative is dy/dx = n xⁿ⁻¹. For rational or root functions, rewrite them as powers first, for example y = √x = x^½, so dy/dx = ½ x^-½ = 1/(2√x).
对于 y = xⁿ，导数为 dy/dx = n xⁿ⁻¹。对于有理式或根式函数，先改写为幂的形式，例如 y = √x = x^½，因此 dy/dx = ½ x^-½ = 1/(2√x)。
The chain rule, product rule, and quotient rule are all assessed. Chain rule: if y = [f(x)]ⁿ, then dy/dx = n[f(x)]ⁿ⁻¹ f'(x). Product rule: if y = uv, then dy/dx = u dv/dx + v du/dx. Quotient rule: if y = u/v, then dy/dx = (v du/dx – u dv/dx) / v².
链式法则、乘积法则和商法则都会考查。链式法则：如果 y = [f(x)]ⁿ，则 dy/dx = n[f(x)]ⁿ⁻¹ f'(x)。乘积法则：如果 y = uv，则 dy/dx = u dv/dx + v du/dx。商法则：如果 y = u/v，则 dy/dx = (v du/dx – u dv/dx) / v²。
Tangents and normals require the derivative. At a point x = a, the tangent gradient is f'(a), so the normal gradient is -1/f'(a). Stationary points occur when dy/dx = 0; use the second derivative d²y/dx² to classify them: positive means a minimum, negative means a maximum.
切线和法线问题需要用到导数。在 x = a 处，切线斜率为 f'(a)，因此法线斜率为 -1/f'(a)。驻点出现在 dy/dx = 0 时；使用二阶导数 d²y/dx² 进行判断：正值表示极小值点，负值表示极大值点。
9. Integration: Indefinite and Definite | 积分：不定积分与定积分
Integration is the reverse of differentiation. For n ≠ -1, ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ / (n + 1) + c. Always include the constant c for indefinite integrals, but omit it for definite integrals after using limits.
积分是微分的逆运算。对于 n ≠ -1，∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ / (n + 1) + c。不定积分一定要加上常数 c，而定积分代入上下限后不需要写出 c。
The definite integral ∫ from a to b f(x) dx gives the signed area between the curve and the x-axis. For areas above and below the axis, split the integral at the points where f(x) = 0 and add absolute values to avoid cancellation.
定积分 ∫ 从 a 到 b f(x) dx 表示曲线与 x 轴之间的带符号面积。当面积在 x 轴上方和下方都有时，应在 f(x) = 0 处拆分积分，并取绝对值相加，避免正负抵消。
Transformations of standard functions also appear: ∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + c, ∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + c, ∫ cos x dx = sin x + c, and ∫ sin x dx = -cos x + c. For composite functions, use the reverse chain rule.
标准函数的积分也会出现：∫ eˣ dx = eˣ + c，∫ 1/x dx = ln|x| + c，∫ cos x dx = sin x + c，∫ sin x dx = -cos x + c。对于复合函数，使用逆链式法则。
10. Vectors in Pure Mathematics | 纯数学中的向量
Vectors questions in Paper 1 focus on magnitude, direction, position vectors, and solving geometric problems. For a vector v = ai + bj, the magnitude is |v| = √(a² + b²), and the unit vector in the same direction is v / |v|.
试卷一的向量题侧重于大小、方向、位置向量以及解决几何问题。对于向量 v = ai + bj，其大小为 |v| = √(a² + b²)，同方向的单位向量为 v / |v|。
To prove two vectors are parallel, show that one is a scalar multiple of the other. To find the angle between vectors a and b, use the dot product: a · b = |a||b| cosθ, so cosθ = (a · b) / (|a||b|).
证明两个向量平行时，要说明其中一个向量是另一个向量的倍数。求向量 a 和 b 的夹角时使用数量积：a · b = |a||b| cosθ，因此 cosθ = (a · b) / (|a||b|)。
Exam-style question: Given a = 3i + 4j and b = i – 2j, find the exact magnitude of a + 2b. Compute a + 2b = (3 + 2)i + (4 – 4)j = 5i + 0j, so the magnitude is √(5² + 0²) = 5.
考试风格题： 已知 a = 3i + 4j 和 b = i – 2j，求 a + 2b 的精确大小。计算 a + 2b = (3 + 2)i + (4 – 4)j = 5i + 0j，因此大小为 √(5² + 0²) = 5。
11. Functions and Graphs: Transformations and Inverses | 函数与图像：变换与反函数
Graph transformations are assessed through sketching and finding equations. For y = f(x), the graph of y = f(x – a) is a translation a units to the right, y = f(x) + a is a translation a units up, y = f(-x) is a reflection in the y-axis, and y = -f(x) is a reflection in the x-axis.
图像变换通过作图和求方程来考查。对于 y = f(x)，y = f(x – a) 表示向右平移 a 个单位，y = f(x) + a 表示向上平移 a 个单位，y = f(-x) 表示关于 y 轴反射，y = -f(x) 表示关于 x 轴反射。
Stretches are also common: y = a f(x) is a vertical stretch by scale factor a, and y = f(ax) is a horizontal stretch by scale factor 1/a. Always apply transformations in the correct order when asked.
伸缩变换也很常见：y = a f(x) 是纵向伸缩，倍数为 a；y = f(ax) 是横向伸缩，倍数为 1/a。遇到复合变换时一定要按正确顺序进行。
The inverse function f⁻¹(x) reverses the effect of f(x). To find it, write y = f(x), rearrange to make x the subject, then swap x and y. The domain of f⁻¹ is the range of f.
反函数 f⁻¹(x) 逆转 f(x) 的作用。求反函数时，先写 y = f(x)，整理出 x，然后交换 x 和 y。f⁻¹ 的定义域就是 f 的值域。
12. Proof, Problem Solving, and Modelling | 证明、解决问题与建模
Pure Paper 1 includes proof questions, often using exhaustion, contradiction, or direct deduction. A common proof is that √2 is irrational: assume √2 = p/q in lowest terms, square to get p² = 2q², then show p and q must both be even, contradicting the assumption.
纯数学试卷一包含证明题，常用穷举法、反证法或直接演绎法。一个常见证明是证明 √2 是无理数：假设 √2 = p/q 为最简分数，平方得 p² = 2q²，然后证明 p 和 q 都必须是偶数，与假设矛盾。
Modelling questions usually give a real-life context such as population growth, cooling, or geometry. Identify the given function, relate its derivative or integral to the context, and interpret your answers in the original units.
建模题通常给出实际背景，如人口增长、冷却或几何问题。识别给定函数，将函数的导数或积分与背景联系起来，并用原始单位解释答案。
Always check for hidden restrictions: lengths must be positive, time cannot be negative, and probability-like proportions must stay between 0 and 1. A complete answer includes both the numerical result and its interpretation in context.
务必检查隐藏限制：长度必须为正，时间不能为负，类似概率的比例必须保持在 0 到 1 之间。完整答案既包含数值结果，也包含其在背景中的解释。
