ALGEBRA AND GRAPHS

E2.1 Introduction to Algebra

1. Use letters to represent generalised numbers.

2. Substitute numbers into expressions and formulas.

E2.2 Algebraic Manipulation

1. Simplify expressions by collecting like terms.

2. Expand products of algebraic expressions.

Example: 3x(2x - 4y) = 6x^2 - 12xy.

3. Factorise by extracting common factors.

Example: 9x^2 + 15xy = 3x(3x + 5y).

4. Factorise expressions of the forms:

- ax + bx + kay + kby

- a^2x^2 - b^2y^2

- a^2 + 2ab + b^2

- ax^2 + bx + c

- ax^3 + bx^2 + cx

5. Complete the square for expressions in the form ax^2 + bx + c.

E2.3 Algebraic Fractions

1. Manipulate and simplify algebraic fractions.

2. Factorise and simplify rational expressions.

Example: Simplify (x^2 - 2x) / (x^2 - 5x + 6).

E2.4 Indices
1. Understand positive, zero, negative, and fractional indices.

Examples:

- Positive: 3^2 = 9

- Zero: a^0 = 1

- Negative: a^-1 = 1/a

- Fractional: a^(1/2) = sqrt(a)

2. Use rules of indices:

- a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)

- (a^m)^n = a^(mn)

- a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).

E2.5 Equations

1. Construct expressions and formulas.

2. Solve linear equations and fractional equations.

Example: Solve 3x + 4 = 10.

3. Solve simultaneous equations (linear or one linear & one non-linear).

4. Solve quadratic equations using:

- Factorisation.

- Completing the square.

- Quadratic formula: x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a).

5. Change the subject of formulas.

E2.6 Inequalities

1. Represent inequalities on number lines (open/closed circles).

2. Solve and graph linear inequalities in two variables.

E2.7 Sequences
1. Identify patterns and rules in sequences.

2. Find the nth term for linear, quadratic, cubic, and exponential sequences.

E2.8 Proportion

1. Direct proportion: y proportional to x -> y = kx.

2. Inverse proportion: y proportional to 1/x -> y = k/x.

E2.9 Graphs in Practical Situations

1. Interpret graphs (e.g., travel or speed-time).

2. Calculate gradients and areas under graphs.

E2.10 Graphs of Functions

1. Construct and interpret graphs of linear, quadratic, cubic, and reciprocal functions.

2. Solve equations graphically.

E2.11 Sketching Curves

1. Sketch graphs (e.g., linear, quadratic, cubic).

2. Identify turning points, roots, and symmetry.

E2.12 Differentiation

1. Estimate gradients using tangents.

2. Differentiate functions of the form ax^n.

3. Find maxima and minima.

E2.13 Functions

1. Use function notation (e.g., f(x)).

2. Find inverse functions.


3. Form composite functions (e.g., g(f(x))).
