AQA 国际 AS 纯数学单元 P1 是 AS 数学课程的基础模块，涵盖代数、微积分、三角学与坐标几何的核心工具，后续单元将在这些内容上进一步拓展。本复习指南整合了所有关键考点、公式与解题技巧，助你在最终考试中斩获高分。

1. Quadratic Functions and Inequalities | 二次函数与不等式

The general form of a quadratic function is \(f(x) = ax² + bx + c\). You must be fluent in completing the square, solving quadratic equations, and using the discriminant \(b² − 4ac\) to determine the nature of roots.

二次函数的一般形式为 \(f(x) = ax² + bx + c\)。你必须熟练掌握配方法、二次方程的求解，以及利用判别式 \(b² − 4ac\) 判断根的性质。

f(x) = ax² + bx + c = a(x + b/2a)² + (c − b²/4a)

Key facts: if \(b² − 4ac > 0\) there are two distinct real roots; if \(b² − 4ac = 0\) there is one repeated root; if \(b² − 4ac < 0\) there are no real roots. For inequalities such as \(ax² + bx + c > 0\), sketch the parabola and read the solution interval directly from the graph.

关键结论：若 \(b² − 4ac > 0\)，方程有两个不同实根；若 \(b² − 4ac = 0\)，有一个重根；若 \(b² − 4ac < 0\)，无实根。对于像 \(ax² + bx + c > 0\) 这样的不等式，画出抛物线草图，直接从图像读取解区间即可。

Completing the square: always check the sign of \(a\) before factorising the quadratic coefficient.
配方法：先检查 \(a\) 的符号，再提取二次项系数。

2. Coordinate Geometry: Straight Lines | 坐标几何：直线

The equation of a straight line can be written as \(y = mx + c\) (gradient-intercept form) or \(ax + by + c = 0\) (general form). The gradient \(m\) is calculated as \((y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁)\).

直线方程可写成 \(y = mx + c\)（斜截式），或 \(ax + by + c = 0\)（一般式）。斜率 \(m\) 的计算公式为 \((y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁)\)。

Two lines are parallel if their gradients are equal; they are perpendicular if the product of their gradients equals −1. The distance between two points is \(\sqrt{(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²}\), and the midpoint is \(((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)\).

两直线平行当且仅当斜率相等；两直线垂直当且仅当斜率乘积为 −1。两点间距离为 \(\sqrt{(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²}\)，中点为 \(((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)\)。

To find the equation of a line, use the point-gradient formula \(y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)\). This is often the fastest approach in exam questions, especially when the line passes through a known point with a known gradient.

求直线方程时，使用点斜式 \(y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)\)。这是考试中最快捷的方法，尤其当已知直线上一点和斜率时。

3. Coordinate Geometry: Circles | 坐标几何：圆

The equation of a circle with centre \((a, b)\) and radius \(r\) is \((x − a)² + (y − b)² = r²\). You must be able to expand this into the general form \(x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\) and complete the square to read off the centre and radius.

圆心为 \((a, b)\)、半径为 \(r\) 的圆方程为 \((x − a)² + (y − b)² = r²\)。你必须能够将其展开为一般式 \(x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\)，并通过配方法读出圆心和半径。

Centre \((-g, -f)\), radius \(\sqrt{g² + f² − c}\).
圆心为 \((-g, -f)\)，半径为 \(\sqrt{g² + f² − c}\)。

A line and a circle may intersect at two points, one point (tangent), or zero points. Substitute the line equation into the circle equation to obtain a quadratic in \(x\); use the discriminant to determine the number of intersections.

直线与圆可能相交于两点、一点（相切）或零个点。将直线方程代入圆方程，得到关于 \(x\) 的二次方程，利用判别式判断交点个数。

4. Arithmetic Sequences and Series | 等差数列与级数

An arithmetic sequence has a constant common difference \(d\). The \(n\)th term is \(uₙ = a + (n − 1)d\), where \(a\) is the first term. The sum of the first \(n\) terms is given by two equivalent formulae:

等差数列具有常数公差 \(d\)。第 \(n\) 项为 \(uₙ = a + (n − 1)d\)，其中 \(a\) 为首项。前 \(n\) 项和由两个等价公式给出：

Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d] = n/2 (a + l)

where \(l\) is the last term. These are direct consequences of pairing terms in reverse order and are frequently required in mixed-topic questions.

其中 \(l\) 为末项。这两个公式由倒序配对推导而来，在综合性题目中经常使用。

Exam tip: Always verify whether a problem asks for the \(n\)th term or the sum to \(n\) terms — a common careless error. Practice listing the first few terms to confirm your formula before committing to an answer.

考试提示：务必确认题目要求的是第 \(n\) 项还是前 \(n\) 项和——这是常见的粗心错误。先列出前几项验证公式是否正确，再写最终答案。

5. Geometric Sequences and Series | 等比数列与级数

A geometric sequence has a constant common ratio \(r\). The \(n\)th term is \(uₙ = ar^{n−1}\). The sum of the first \(n\) terms is:

等比数列具有常数公比 \(r\)。第 \(n\) 项为 \(uₙ = ar^{n−1}\)。前 \(n\) 项和为：

Sₙ = a(1 − rⁿ)/(1 − r), r ≠ 1

For \(|r| < 1\), the sum to infinity converges to \(S∞ = a/(1 − r)\). A question will often ask you to identify when this condition is satisfied or to state that a geometric series is convergent.

当 \(|r| < 1\) 时，无穷项和收敛于 \(S∞ = a/(1 − r)\)。题目常要求你判断该条件是否满足，或说明等比级数的收敛性。

Remember that \(r\) can be negative — the terms alternate in sign. Check the sign of \(r\) from the given terms, not by forcing a positive value. Also be careful with exponents when \(r\) is a fraction: \((1/2)^{n−1}\) must not be confused with \(1/(2^{n−1})\).

注意 \(r\) 可以为负——此时各项符号交替。根据已知项判断 \(r\) 的符号，不要强行取正。当 \(r\) 是分数时还要注意指数：(1/2)^{n−1} 不能与 1/(2^{n−1}) 混淆。

6. Trigonometry: Radians, Arc Length and Sector Area | 三角学：弧度、弧长与扇形面积

Radians are the natural unit for angles in A-level mathematics. The conversion is: \(π\) radians = 180°. For a circle of radius \(r\) with angle \(\theta\) in radians:

弧度是 A-level 数学中角度的自然单位。换算关系为：\(π\) 弧度 = 180°。对于半径为 \(r\)、圆心角为 \(\theta\)（弧度制）的圆：

Arc length \(s = r\theta\) | Sector area \(A = ½ r²\theta\)

Make sure your calculator is in radian mode when working with these formulae. In problems combining sectors and triangles, split the compound shape and add or subtract component areas carefully.

使用这些公式时，请确保计算器处于弧度模式。在扇形与三角形组合的题目中，将复合图形拆分，分别计算面积后相加或相减。

7. Trigonometry: Identities and Equations | 三角学：恒等式与方程

You must know the two fundamental identities and be able to manipulate them fluently:

你必须熟练掌握以下两个基本恒等式并能灵活变形：

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1 | tanθ = sinθ/cosθ

To solve trigonometric equations, first reduce everything to a single trig ratio using the identities, then find all solutions within the required interval. For example, \(2\sin²θ − 1 = 0\) leads to \(\sinθ = ±1/\sqrt{2}\), giving solutions at \(θ = 45°, 135°, 225°, 315°\) in the range \(0° ≤ θ < 360°\).

解三角方程时，先用恒等式将所有函数化为同一种三角函数，再求出给定区间内的全部解。例如，\(2\sin²θ − 1 = 0\) 可化为 \(\sinθ = ±1/\sqrt{2}\)，在 \(0° ≤ θ < 360°\) 范围内解为 \(θ = 45°, 135°, 225°, 315°\)。

Always sketch the graph of the relevant trig function to check you have not missed extra solutions. The period of \(\sin\) and \(\cos\) is 360° (or \(2π\)), while the period of \(\tan\) is 180° (or \(π\)).

务必画出相应三角函数的图像来检查是否遗漏解。\(\sin\) 与 \(\cos\) 的周期为 360°（即 \(2π\)），而 \(\tan\) 的周期为 180°（即 \(π\)）。

8. Exponentials and Logarithms | 指数函数与对数

The exponential function is \(y = a^x\), and its inverse is the logarithm: \(y = \log_a x\). The two most important laws are:

指数函数为 \(y = a^x\)，其反函数为对数：\(y = \log_a x\)。最重要的两条运算法则是：

\log_a (mn) = \log_a m + \log_a n | \log_a (m/n) = \log_a m − \log_a n

\log_a (m^k) = k \log_a m | \log_a a = 1, \log_a 1 = 0

Changing the base is a key skill: \(\log_a b = \log_c b / \log_c a\). This is used when solving equations where the bases differ, e.g. \(2^x = 7\), where you take logs of both sides and apply the power law.

换底公式是关键技能：\(\log_a b = \log_c b / \log_c a\)。当方程两边底数不同（如 \(2^x = 7\)）时，先对两边取对数再应用幂运算法则即可求解。

Remember that logarithms are only defined for positive arguments: \(\log_a x\) requires \(x > 0\). Reject any candidate solutions that make the argument of a logarithm zero or negative.

记住对数的真数必须为正：\(\log_a x\) 要求 \(x > 0\)。凡使真数为零或负数的候选解都要舍去。

9. Differentiation | 微分

Differentiation measures the instantaneous rate of change. The basic rule for differentiating \(x^n\) is:

微分度量瞬间变化率。对 \(x^n\) 求导的基本法则为：

If \(y = x^n\), then dy/dx = n x^{n−1}

This applies for all real \(n\), including negative and fractional powers. You must also be able to differentiate constants (derivative = 0) and sums of terms term-by-term. The gradient of a curve at a given point is found by substituting the \(x\)-coordinate into dy/dx.

该法则对所有实数 \(n\) 都成立，包括负指数和分数指数。你还须能够对常数求导（导数为 0）以及逐项求导。曲线在某点的斜率，只需将该点的 \(x\) 坐标代入 dy/dx 即可。

Stationary points occur where dy/dx = 0. To determine their nature, compute the second derivative d²y/dx²: if positive, the point is a local minimum; if negative, a local maximum; if zero, the test is inconclusive and you must examine the sign of dy/dx on either side.

驻点出现在 dy/dx = 0 处。判断其性质需计算二阶导数 d²y/dx²：若为正，则为局部极小值；若为负，则为局部极大值；若为零，则该判定法失效，需检查 dy/dx 在两侧的符号。

10. Integration | 积分

Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. The basic rule is:

积分是微分的逆运算。基本法则为：

∫ xⁿ dx = x^{n+1}/(n+1) + C, n ≠ −1

Definite integrals evaluate the area under a curve between two limits: \(\int_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a)\), where \(F(x)\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)\).

定积分用于计算曲线下两点之间的面积：\(\int_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a)\)，其中 \(F(x)\) 是 \(f(x)\) 的原函数。

When finding an antiderivative, always include the constant of integration \(+C\) for indefinite integrals.
求不定积分时，务必加上积分常数 \(+C\)。
For areas below the \(x\)-axis, the integral is negative — take the absolute value or split the interval at the roots.
当面积位于 \(x\) 轴下方时，积分为负——需取绝对值，或在根处拆分区间分别计算。

Common exam questions combine integration with earlier topics: for example, finding the area enclosed by a curve and the \(x\)-axis, or the area between two curves by subtracting one integral from another. Set up the limits by solving the intersection equations first.

常见考题将积分与前面章节结合：例如求曲线与 \(x\) 轴围成的面积，或两条曲线之间的面积（两个积分相减）。先联立交点方程确定积分上下限。
