1. Chapter 1 – Quadratics The Questions in this revision are taken from the book so you will be able to find the answers in there.

2. This should be used in conjunction with your formula booklet! Chapter 1 Quadratics Part A A quadratic is of the form y = ax 2 +bx + c When solving a quadratic you are trying to find – the roots, a solution, the x-intercepts. These are the terms that you may come across. Each time y = 0. e.g. Solve for x: 9x 2 – 12x + 4 = 0 Solve for x: (x + 1) 2 = 2x 2 -5x + 11 Hint: get the equation in the form as above. You need to be able to solve a quadratic by been able to complete the square which means the quadratic is in the form a(x - h) 2 + k = 0. A quadratic in the completed square form can be solved by getting x by itself. e.g. 3x 2 = 6x + 4 You need to be able to solve a quadratic using the quadratic formula which is e.g. Hint: get the equation in the form ax 2 +bx + c = 0.

3. Chapter 1 Quadratics Part B The Discriminant Δ = b 2 – 4ac If Δ > 0 then there are two real roots i.e. the graph crosses the x-axis at two points. If Δ = 0 then there is only one real root, i.e. the graph touches the x-axis only once. If Δ < 0 then there are no roots, i.e. the graph does not cross or touch the x-axis.

6. Chapter 1 Quadratics Part D Finding the Quadratic Equation From the Graph. If you know the the x & y intercepts you can use this to find the equation of the graph. Or if you know the vertex with or without the x or y intercepts you can use these to find the equation of the graph. I can do or understand this v vv v vv v

11. This should be used in conjunction with your formula booklet! Chapter 2 Functions Part A Relations & Functions A Relation is any set of points that connect two variables. The variables are often generated by an equation connecting the variables x & y. In this case the relation is a set of points (x,y) in the Cartesian Plane A Function, is sometimes called a Mapping, is a relation in which every x-value only has one y-value. Function Test – If a vertical line only goes through the graph once then it is a function I can do or understand this v v

16. I can do or understand this Chapter 2 Functions Part E Sign Diagrams. Sign Diagrams show us what the graph does i.e. is does it above your below the x-axis. You have to find from the equation the x-intercepts and anywhere where the graph is undefined. Then on either side of these points choose a value for x and find the y value for that point. If positive place a “+” at that point on the sign diagram; if y is negative place a “-” on the sign diagram. v v v v Dashed line means the graph is undefined at this point

18. I can do or understand this Chapter 2 Functions Part F Rational Functions. Dividing a linear function by a linear function gives a Rational Function. e.g. Rational Functions are characterised by vertical and horizontal asymptotes that the graph gets closer and closer to but never reaches. Vertical Asymptote – Using the above general equation, this is found when the denominator = 0. So for the above cx + d = 0 so x = -d/c, is the equation of the vertical asymptote. Horizontal asymptote – Using the above general equation, the equation of this asymptote is y = a/c. To find the x-intercepts, use y = 0. To find the y-intercepts, let x = 0. Understand how the asymptotes and the intercepts were found for the graph to the right. v v v

19. I can do or understand this Chapter 2 Functions Part F Note: for the vertical and horizontal asymptotes are the y & x-axis respectively. For the vertical asymptote is x = c and the horizontal asymptote is y = d. (These ideas are also in Chp 5 Transformations. v v v
