对一个多项式方程,根(roots)与系数(coefficients)联系。对于有根 $\alpha, \beta$ 的 $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$:
例题。 方程 $x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0$ 有根 $\alpha, \beta$。求以 $\alpha + 1, \beta + 1$ 为根的方程。
这里 $\alpha + \beta = 5$ 且 $\alpha\beta = 6$。新的和是 $(\alpha + 1) + (\beta + 1) = 7$,而新的积是 $(\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1) = \alpha\beta + \alpha + \beta + 1 = 6 + 5 + 1 = 12$。所以新方程是
Roots of a polynomial
y = ax³ + bx² + cx + d
The roots are where the curve meets the x-axis — their sum and product link to the coefficients.

| • sketch graphs of simple rational functions, including the determination of oblique asymptotes, in cases where the degree of the numerator and the denominator are at most 2 | Including determination of the set of values taken by the function, e.g. by the use of a discriminant. Detailed plotting of curves will not be required, but sketches will generally be expected to show significant features, such as turning points, asymptotes and intersections with the axes. |
| • understand and use relationships between the graphs of $y = f(x)$, $y^2 = f(x)$, $y = \frac{1}{f(x)}$, $y = |f(x)|$ and $y = f(|x|)$ | Including use of such sketch graphs in the course of solving equations or inequalities. |

一个有理函数(rational function)是两个多项式的一个分数。当上面的次数恰好比下面的高一次时,图形有一条斜渐近线(oblique asymptote,曲线逼近的一条斜线);通过除出来找到它。你也应当能够把 $y = f(x)$ 的图形与 $y^2 = f(x)$、$y = \dfrac{1}{f(x)}$、$y = |f(x)|$ 和 $y = f(|x|)$ 的联系起来。用判别式(discriminant)求函数能取的值的集合,并定位它的驻点(turning points)。

例题。 求 $y = \dfrac{x^2 + x + 1}{x + 1}$ 的斜渐近线。
除出这个分数:$\dfrac{x^2 + x + 1}{x + 1} = x + \dfrac{1}{x + 1}$。当 $x \to \pm\infty$ 时余数 $\dfrac{1}{x+1} \to 0$,所以曲线逼近直线 $y = x$——斜渐近线。
Rational functions
y = a/(x − b) + c
A rational function has asymptotes the curve approaches but never touches.

| Candidates should be able to: | Notes and examples |

| carry out operations of matrix addition, subtraction and multiplication, and recognise the terms zero matrix and identity (or unit) matrix | Including non-square matrices. Matrices will have at most 3 rows and columns. |
| recall the meaning of the terms singular and non-singular as applied to square matrices and, for $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 3$ matrices, evaluate determinants and find inverses of non-singular matrices | The notations $\det \mathbf{M}$ for the determinant of a matrix $\mathbf{M}$, and $\mathbf{I}$ for the identity matrix, will be used. |
| understand and use the result, for non-singular matrices, $(\mathbf{AB})^{-1} = \mathbf{B}^{-1}\mathbf{A}^{-1}$ | Extension to the product of more than two matrices may be required. |
| understand the use of $2 \times 2$ matrices to represent certain geometric transformations in the $x$-$y$ plane, in particular: – understand the relationship between the transformations represented by $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{A}^{-1}$ – recognise that the matrix product $\mathbf{AB}$ represents the transformation that results from the transformation represented by $\mathbf{B}$ followed by the transformation represented by $\mathbf{A}$ – recall how the area scale factor of a transformation is related to the determinant of the corresponding matrix – find the matrix that represents a given transformation or sequence of transformations | Understanding of the terms rotation, reflection, enlargement, stretch and shear for 2D transformations will be required. Other 2D transformations may be included, but no particular knowledge of them is expected. |
| understand the meaning of invariant as applied to points and lines in the context of transformations represented by matrices, and solve simple problems involving invariant points and invariant lines. | e.g. to locate the invariant points of the transformation represented by $\begin{pmatrix} 6 & 5 \\ 2 & 3 \end{pmatrix}$, or to find the invariant lines through the origin for $\begin{pmatrix} 4 & -1 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$, or to show that any line with gradient 1 is invariant for $\begin{pmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{pmatrix}$. |

一个矩阵(matrix)是一个矩形的数块。矩阵加法把匹配位置的元素相加;你也能减和乘矩阵(乘法是行 $\times$ 列)。零矩阵(zero matrix)每个元素都是 $0$,而单位矩阵(identity matrix,或 unit matrix)$I$ 在乘法下使任何矩阵不变。
对一个 $2\times 2$ 矩阵 $A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}$,行列式(determinant)是 $\det A = ad - bc$。若 $\det A \neq 0$ 矩阵是非奇异的(否则它是一个奇异矩阵(singular matrix)),而逆矩阵(inverse matrix)是

例题。 求 $A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 4 \end{pmatrix}$ 的逆。
$\det A = 3\times 4 - 1\times 2 = 10$,所以

| understand the relations between Cartesian and polar coordinates, and convert equations of curves from Cartesian to polar form and vice versa | The convention $r \geqslant 0$ will be used. |
| sketch simple polar curves, for $0 \leqslant \theta < 2\pi$ or $-\pi < \theta \leqslant \pi$ or a subset of either of these intervals | Detailed plotting of curves will not be required, but sketches will generally be expected to show significant features, such as symmetry, coordinates of intersections with the initial line, the form of the curve at the pole and least/greatest values of $r$. |
| recall the formula $\frac{1}{2} \int r^2 \mathrm{d}\theta$ for the area of a sector, and use this formula in simple cases. |

极坐标(polar coordinates)用一个点从原点的距离 $r$ 和它的角 $\theta$ 给出它。它们通过以下与直角坐标(Cartesian coordinates)联系

你应当作简单的极坐标曲线(polar curves)的草图,并用以下求一个扇形的面积

例题。 把极坐标方程 $r = 4\cos\theta$ 转换成直角坐标形式。
两边乘以 $r$:$r^2 = 4r\cos\theta$,所以 $x^2 + y^2 = 4x$。配方给出 $(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 4$,一个以 $(2, 0)$ 为圆心、半径 $2$ 的圆。

Pick a curve and change a. In polar form a point is set by its distance r and angle θ — that draws roses, cardioids and spirals.

| use the equation of a plane in any of the forms $ax + by + cz = d$ or $\mathbf{r.n} = p$ or $\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{a} + \lambda\mathbf{b} + \mu\mathbf{c}$ and convert equations of planes from one form to another as necessary in solving problems | |
| recall that the vector product $\mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b}$ of two vectors can be expressed either as $|\mathbf{a}||\mathbf{b}|\sin\theta\hat{\mathbf{n}}$, where $\hat{\mathbf{n}}$ is a unit vector, or in component form as $(a_2b_3 - a_3b_2)\mathbf{i} + (a_3b_1 - a_1b_3)\mathbf{j} + (a_1b_2 - a_2b_1)\mathbf{k}$ | |
| use equations of lines and planes, together with scalar and vector products where appropriate, to solve problems concerning distances, angles and intersections, including: – determining whether a line lies in a plane, is parallel to a plane or intersects a plane, and finding the point of intersection of a line and a plane when it exists – finding the foot of the perpendicular from a point to a plane – finding the angle between a line and a plane, and the angle between two planes – finding an equation for the line of intersection of two planes – calculating the shortest distance between two skew lines – finding an equation for the common perpendicular to two skew lines. |

数学归纳法证明
大纲
| Candidates should be able to: | Notes and examples |
|---|---|
| use the method of mathematical induction to establish a given result | e.g. $\sum_{r=1}^{n} r^4 = \frac{1}{4}n^2(n+1)^2$, $u_n = \frac{1}{2}(1 + 3^{n-1})$ for the sequence given by $u_{n+1} = 3u_n - 1$ and $u_1 = 1$, $\begin{pmatrix} 4 & -1 \\ 6 & -1 \end{pmatrix}^n = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \times 2^n - 2 & 1 - 2^n \\ 3 \times 2^{n+1} - 6 & 3 - 2^{n+1} \end{pmatrix}$, $3^{2n} + 2 \times 5^n - 3$ is divisible by 8. |
| recognise situations where conjecture based on a limited trial followed by inductive proof is a useful strategy, and carry this out in simple cases. | e.g. find the $n$th derivative of $x e^x$, find $\sum_{r=1}^{n} r \times r!$. |

数学归纳法(mathematical induction)分两步对每个正整数 $n$ 证明一个结果:
- 基本情形:证明结果对 $n = 1$ 为真。
- 归纳步骤:假设它对 $n = k$ 为真,然后对 $n = k + 1$ 证明它。
若两步都有效,结果对所有 $n$ 为真。往往你先从几个情形做一个猜想(conjecture,一个合理的猜),然后用归纳证明(inductive proof)确认它。

例题。 证明 $\displaystyle\sum_{r=1}^{n} r = \tfrac12 n(n+1)$。
基本情形 $n = 1$:左边是 $1$,右边是 $\tfrac12(1)(2) = 1$。为真。 归纳步骤:假设 $\displaystyle\sum_{r=1}^{k} r = \tfrac12 k(k+1)$。那么

- 用根和系数之间的关系(和、成对的和、积)而不是解多项式。

- 作有理函数图形的草图,带它们的渐近线和驻点;对一个求和用差分法。
- 对于矩阵,知道行列式、逆和不变直线,并从几何上解释每个变换。
