2. Question 1: Remainder Theorem and Factorisation | 第 1 题：余数定理与因式分解
Question. Given that f(x) = x³ − 3x² − 6x + 8, find the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x + 2), and hence factorise f(x) completely.
题目。已知 f(x) = x³ − 3x² − 6x + 8，求 f(x) 除以 (x + 2) 的余数，并由此将 f(x) 完全因式分解。
By the Remainder Theorem, f(−2) = (−2)³ − 3(−2)² − 6(−2) + 8 = −8 − 12 + 12 + 8 = 0. Therefore (x + 2) is a factor, and the remainder is 0.
根据余数定理，f(−2) = (−2)³ − 3(−2)² − 6(−2) + 8 = −8 − 12 + 12 + 8 = 0。因此 (x + 2) 是因式，余数为 0。
f(x) = (x + 2)(x² − 5x + 4) = (x + 2)(x − 1)(x − 4)
Key exam point: always substitute the negative root directly into the cubic, then carry out polynomial division or inspection to obtain the quadratic factor. Never leave the quotient unfactorised if the question says ‘completely’.
考点提示：务必直接将根的相反数代入三次式求值，再用多项式除法或观察法得到二次因式。若题目要求“完全分解”，切不可停留在二次式阶段。
3. Question 2: Binomial Expansion and Coefficient of x² | 第 2 题：二项式展开与 x² 项系数
Question. Expand (2 + 3x)⁵ up to the term in x², and hence find the coefficient of x² in (1 − x)(2 + 3x)⁵.
题目。展开 (2 + 3x)⁵ 至含 x² 的项，并由此求 (1 − x)(2 + 3x)⁵ 中 x² 项的系数。
Using the binomial theorem:
由二项式定理：
(2 + 3x)⁵ = 2⁵ + 5(2⁴)(3x) + 10(2³)(3x)² = 32 + 240x + 720x²
Now multiply by (1 − x): the x² coefficient equals 720(from expansion) − 240(from 240x × −x) = 480.
再乘以 (1 − x)：x² 的系数为 720（来自展开式）− 240（来自 240x × −x）= 480。
Common trap: candidates multiply the constants correctly but forget the sign from the −x factor, producing 960 instead of 480.
常见误区：考生能正确展开，却容易忽略 −x 带来的符号，从而得出 960 而非 480。
4. Question 3: Composite Functions and Inverse Functions | 第 3 题：复合函数与反函数
Question. Given f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x², find f⁻¹(x) and fg(x). Determine the value of x such that fg(x) = f(x).
题目。已知 f(x) = 2x + 1，g(x) = x²，求 f⁻¹(x) 与 fg(x)，并解方程 fg(x) = f(x)。
Since f(x) = 2x + 1, we set y = 2x + 1 and rearrange to x = (y − 1)/2. Therefore f⁻¹(x) = (x − 1)/2. The composite fg(x) = f(g(x)) = 2x² + 1.
因为 f(x) = 2x + 1，令 y = 2x + 1，解得 x = (y − 1)/2，因此 f⁻¹(x) = (x − 1)/2。复合函数 fg(x) = f(g(x)) = 2x² + 1。
2x² + 1 = 2x + 1 → 2x² − 2x = 0 → 2x(x − 1) = 0 → x = 0 或 x = 1
Remember the domain of f⁻¹ equals the range of f. Since f is linear with gradient 2, its range is all real numbers, so no domain restriction is needed.
注意 f⁻¹ 的定义域等于 f 的值域。由于 f 是斜率为 2 的线性函数，其值域为全体实数，因此无需限制定义域。
Examiners particularly penalise the omission of domains on inverse functions. Always write the domain explicitly where the original function is not one-to-one.
考官尤其会扣去反函数定义域遗漏的分数。当原函数非一一对应时，务必写出定义域说明。
5. Question 4: Exponential and Logarithmic Equations | 第 4 题：指数方程与对数方程
Question. Solve the equation 5²ˣ = 3 × 5ˣ + 10.
题目。解方程 5²ˣ = 3 × 5ˣ + 10。
Introduce the substitution u = 5ˣ. Then u² = 5²ˣ, and the equation becomes u² = 3u + 10, i.e. u² − 3u − 10 = 0.
令 u = 5ˣ，则 u² = 5²ˣ，原方程化为 u² = 3u + 10，即 u² − 3u − 10 = 0。
(u − 5)(u + 2) = 0 → u = 5 或 u = −2
Now u = 5 gives 5ˣ = 5, so x = 1. The negative root u = −2 is inadmissible because 5ˣ > 0 for all real x.
当 u = 5 时，5ˣ = 5，得 x = 1。负根 u = −2 不可接受，因为对一切实数 x，5ˣ > 0。
Always test for extraneous roots after squaring or substituting. In this syllabus, rejecting the negative root is worth a method mark.
在平方或代入换元后，务必检验增根。本考纲中，排除负根本身就是一个方法分点。
6. Question 5: Vector Geometry — Collinearity | 第 5 题：向量几何——共线问题
Question. Points A, B, C have position vectors a = 2i − j, b = 5i + 2j, c = 8i + 5j. Prove that A, B, C are collinear.
题目。已知点 A、B、C 的位置向量为 a = 2i − j，b = 5i + 2j，c = 8i + 5j，证明 A、B、C 三点共线。
We compute the displacement vectors AB = 3i + 3j and BC = 3i + 3j. Since AB = BC, the points are collinear; in fact B is the midpoint of AC.
计算位移向量 AB = 3i + 3j，BC = 3i + 3j。由于 AB = BC，三点共线；事实上 B 是 AC 的中点。
For full marks, show that one vector is a scalar multiple of the other. Write AB = k·BC with k = 1 and state that both vectors share point B, hence collinear.
要拿满分，需要说明一个向量是另一个向量的标量倍：写出 AB = k·BC 且 k = 1，并指明两向量均过点 B，因此共线。
7. Question 6: Trigonometric Identities and Equations | 第 6 题：三角恒等式与三角方程
Question. Solve 2cos²θ − sinθ − 1 = 0 for 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°.
题目。在 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360° 范围内解方程 2cos²θ − sinθ − 1 = 0。
Use the identity cos²θ = 1 − sin²θ to rewrite the equation:
利用恒等式 cos²θ = 1 − sin²θ 改写方程：
2(1 − sin²θ) − sinθ − 1 = 0 → 2sin²θ + sinθ − 1 = 0 → (2sinθ − 1)(sinθ + 1) = 0
Therefore sinθ = ½ or sinθ = −1. On the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°, the solutions are θ = 30°, θ = 150°, and θ = 270°.
因此 sinθ = ½ 或 sinθ = −1。在区间 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360° 内，解为 θ = 30°、θ = 150°、θ = 270°。
Candidates often lose the third solution by forgetting that sinθ = −1 has one solution, not zero. Draw a quick sine graph to check the count of solutions.
考生经常忘记 sinθ = −1 有一个解而非零个解，从而漏掉第三个解。建议快速画出正弦曲线核对解的个数。
8. Question 7: Equation of a Circle | 第 7 题：圆的方程
Question. A circle passes through P(5, 0) and Q(−1, 0), and its centre lies on the line y = 2x − 4. Find the equation of the circle.
题目。圆经过 P(5, 0) 与 Q(−1, 0)，且圆心在直线 y = 2x − 4 上，求该圆的方程。
Let centre C be (a, b). Since P and Q lie on the circle, the distances CP and CQ are equal. Using the perpendicular bisector, the centre must lie on the vertical line x = 2, because P and Q have the same y-coordinate.
设圆心 C 为 (a, b)。由于 P、Q 在圆上，CP = CQ。利用垂直平分线可知，圆心必在竖直直线 x = 2 上，因为 P、Q 的 y 坐标相同。
a = 2，代入 y = 2x − 4 得 b = 0 → 半径 r = CP = 3
(x − 2)² + y² = 9
An alternative algebraic method: square both distance formulas, cancel the b² terms, and solve simultaneously with y = 2x − 4.
另一种代数方法是：将两个距离公式平方后消去 b² 项，再与 y = 2x − 4 联立求解。
9. Question 8: Differentiation — Tangent and Normal | 第 8 题：微分法——切线与法线
Question. For y = x³ − 6x² + 9x, find the equation of the tangent at the point where x = 2.
题目。已知 y = x³ − 6x² + 9x，求该曲线在 x = 2 处的切线方程。
Compute dy/dx = 3x² − 12x + 9. At x = 2, the gradient is m = 3(4) − 24 + 9 = −3. The y-coordinate is y(2) = 8 − 24 + 18 = 2.
求导得 dy/dx = 3x² − 12x + 9。当 x = 2 时，斜率 m = 3(4) − 24 + 9 = −3。代入原函数得 y(2) = 8 − 24 + 18 = 2。
y − 2 = −3(x − 2) → y = −3x + 8
If the question asks for the normal, take the negative reciprocal of the gradient: mₙ = ⅓.
若题目要求法线，则取斜率的负倒数：mₙ = ⅓。
Note that non-calculator papers require exact arithmetic. Do not leave answers like −9/3; simplify fully to −3.
注意非计算器试卷要求精确运算。不要保留如 −9/3 的形式，要化简为 −3。
10. Question 9: Integration — Area under a Curve | 第 10 题：积分法——曲线下面积
Question. Find the exact area enclosed by the curve y = x² − 4x, the x-axis, and the lines x = 1 and x = 3.
题目。求曲线 y = x² − 4x 与 x 轴及直线 x = 1、x = 3 所围成的精确面积。
The curve crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and x = 4, so on the interval [1, 3] the function is negative. We integrate the absolute value:
曲线在 x = 0 与 x = 4 处穿过 x 轴，因此在区间 [1, 3] 上函数值为负。我们要对绝对值积分：
Area = ∫₁³ −(x² − 4x) dx = ∫₁³ (4x − x²) dx
= [2x² − x³⁄3]₁³ = (18 − 9) − (2 − ⅓) = 9 − ⁵⁄₃ = ²²⁄₃
Examiners deduct marks if you integrate without recognising that the curve lies below the x-axis. Look at the sign of y before choosing the sign of the integrand.
如果未判断曲线在 x 轴下方就直接积分，考官会扣分。先判断 y 的符号，再决定被积函数的正负。
11. Common Errors and Examiner Feedback | 第 11 题：常见错误与考官反馈
From recent CAIE examiner reports, the following errors recur across all sessions:
根据近年 CAIE 考官报告，以下错误在历次考试中反复出现：
- Misapplying the remainder theorem by substituting +2 instead of −2 for (x + 2). | 使用余数定理时，将 (x + 2) 误代入 +2 而非 −2。
- Dropping a solution in trigonometric equations, especially solutions in the third quadrant. | 解三角方程时遗漏解，尤其是第三象限的解。
- Using decimal approximations instead of exact surds on non-calculator papers. | 非计算器试卷中使用小数近似值而非精确根式。
- Failing to state the domain of an inverse function. | 未写出反函数的定义域。
- Integrating a negative area without flipping the sign. | 积分时未将负面积取正。
To avoid these, always write out the substitution step, sketch the relevant graph, and leave answers as exact fractions or surds unless directed otherwise.
要避免此类错误，建议写出代入过程、画出相关图形，并在未特别说明时将答案保留为精确分数或根式。
12. Revision Strategy and Timed Practice Plan | 复习策略与限时训练计划
Two hours of focused practice per topic per week is far more effective than six hours of passive reading. Prioritise the topics that carry the highest mark weight: algebra and calculus.
每周针对某一主题进行两小时专注训练，远比六小时被动阅读更有效。优先复习分值比重最高的主题：代数与微积分。
A suggested four-week revision plan:
建议四周复习计划如下：
- Week 1: Functions, surds, and indices. | 第 1 周：函数、根式与指数。
- Week 2: Trigonometry and circular measure. | 第 2 周：三角学与弧度制。
- Week 3: Differentiation and its applications. | 第 3 周：微分法及其应用。
- Week 4: Integration, vectors, and full mock papers. | 第 4 周：积分、向量与完整模拟卷。
When marking your own mock paper, be strict. Award yourself only the marks that a CAIE examiner would award, then analyse every dropped mark and write down the reason.
批改自己的模拟卷时要严格。只给自己 CAIE 考官会给的分数，然后分析每一处失分并写下原因。
By combining regular timed practice with careful error analysis, you can systematically close the gap between your current score and an A*.
将定期限时训练与细致的错因分析相结合，你可以系统性地缩小当前分数与 A* 之间的距离。
