1. Parametric Differentiation and Tangents | 参数方程求导与切线问题
l questions then ask for the gradient at a point, or the equation of the tangent or normal.
参数方程将 x 和 y 用第三个变量 t 表示。你需要运用链式法则求导：dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)。典型题目会要求计算某一点的梯度，或求切线、法线方程。
dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
Example: A curve is defined by x = t2 + 1, y = 2t − 3. Find the equation of the tangent at t = 2.
示例： 曲线由 x = t2 + 1，y = 2t − 3 定义，求 t = 2 处的切线方程。
Step 1: dx/dt = 2t, dy/dt = 2, so dy/dx = 2 / (2t) = 1/t. At t=2, gradient = 1/2.
Step 2: Point coordinates: x = (2)2+1 = 5, y = 2(2)−3 = 1. Thus tangent is y − 1 = (1/2)(x − 5).
第一步：dx/dt = 2t，dy/dt = 2，因此 dy/dx = 2 / (2t) = 1/t。当 t=2 时，斜率为 1/2。
第二步：点坐标：x = 5，y = 1。因此切线为 y − 1 = (1/2)(x − 5)。
2. Binomial Expansion with Rational Powers | 有理数次幂的二项式展开
P4 tests the binomial expansion for (1 + x)n where n is a rational number. You must know the expansion valid for |x| < 1 and be able to find specific term coefficients or use the expansion to approximate a function value.
P4 考查 (1 + x)n 的二项式展开，其中 n 为有理数。你必须掌握在 |x| < 1 时有效的展开式，并能求出特定项的系数或利用展开式近似计算函数值。
(1 + x)n = 1 + nx + [n(n−1)/2!] x2 + [n(n−1)(n−2)/3!] x3 + … for |x| < 1
Questions may require partial fractions first to rewrite the expression in the form (1 + ax)n before expanding. Watch out for the range of validity combined from multiple expansions.
题目可能先要求用部分分式将表达式化为 (1 + ax)n 的形式再展开。注意多个展开式合成后的收敛范围。
3. Implicit Differentiation and Connected Rates | 隐函数求导与相关变化率
When y is not explicitly given as a function of x, differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as an implicit function. Remember to multiply by dy/dx every time you differentiate a term in y.
当 y 不是显式地表示为 x 的函数时，对方程两边同时关于 x 求导，将 y 视为隐函数。每次对含 y 的项求导时，记得乘上 dy/dx。
d/dx (y2) = 2y (dy/dx)
× (dr/dt). Set up the geometric relationship, differentiate, and substitute known values.
相关变化率问题利用链式法则将两个变化率联系起来，如 dV/dt = (dV/dr) × (dr/dt)。建立几何关系式，求导后代入已知数据即可。
4. Integration by Substitution | 换元积分法
nvert the integral entirely into u, change the dx, and adjust the limits if it is a definite integral.
换元法是 P4 的核心积分技巧。题目通常会给出换元式，例如 u = 2x + 1，或提示换元。先将整个积分转换为关于 u 的积分，替换 dx，若为定积分还需转换积分限。
Example: Evaluate ∫01 2x √x2+1 dx using u = x2+1.
示例： 利用 u = x2+1 计算 ∫01 2x √x2+1 dx。
du/dx = 2x ⇒ dx = du/(2x). When x=0, u=1; x=1, u=2. Integral becomes ∫12 √u du = [ (2/3) u3/2 ]12 = (2/3)(2√2 − 1).
du/dx = 2x ⇒ dx = du/(2x)。当 x=0 时 u=1；x=1 时 u=2。积分变为 ∫12 √u du = [ (2/3) u3/2 ]12 = (2/3)(2√2 − 1)。
5. Integration by Parts | 分部积分法
exponential, trigonometric, or logarithmic function. The formula is ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du.
当被积函数为两个函数的乘积时使用分部积分法，通常是一个多项式与指数函数、三角函数或对数函数的乘积。分部积分公式为 ∫ u dv = uv − ∫ v du。
∫ u (dv/dx) dx = uv − ∫ v (du/dx) dx
For definite integrals, apply the limits after the uv term. The LIATE rule helps choose u: Logarithmic, Inverse trig, Algebraic, Trigonometric, Exponential. Be ready for repeated integration by parts.
对于定积分，在 uv 项之后代入上下限。借助 LIATE 法则选择 u：对数函数、反三角函数、代数函数、三角函数、指数函数。有时需要连续分部积分两次。
6. Volumes of Revolution | 旋转体体积
estions revolve a region around the x-axis or y-axis. The formula for rotation about the x‑axis is V = π ∫ y2 dx, and about the y‑axis V = π ∫ x2 dy, with appropriate limits.
P4 体积题要求将区域绕 x 轴或 y 轴旋转。绕 x 轴旋转的体积公式为 V = π ∫ y2 dx，绕 y 轴为 V = π ∫ x2 dy，并配上正确的积分限。
Vx-axis = π ∫ab y2 dx
You often need to express x2 or y2 from the curve equation. Parametric volumes use V = π ∫ y2 (dx/dt) dt for rotation about the x‑axis. Be careful with square terms and limits defined by t.
常需从曲线方程解出 x2 或 y2。参数方程下绕 x 轴旋转体积为 V = π ∫ y2 (dx/dt) dt。注意平方项及由 t 确定的积分限。
7. Vector Equations of Lines and Distances | 空间直线方程与距离
d b is the direction vector. The paper tests finding the angle between two lines, intersection points, and the shortest distance from a point to a line.
在三维向量中，直线表示为 r = a + λ b，其中 a 是直线上一点，b 为方向向量。试卷考查两直线的夹角、交点以及点到直线的最短距离。
cos θ = | (b1 · b2) | / (|b1| |b2|)
To find if two lines intersect, set the vectors equal and solve the three component equations for λ and μ. If consistent, substitute back for the point. The shortest distance from a point to a line uses the modulus of the cross product divided by the magnitude of the direction vector.
判断两直线是否相交，令向量相等并求解关于 λ 和 μ 的三个分量方程，若一致则代入求点。点到直线的最短距离使用叉积的模除以方向向量的模。
8. Proof by Contradiction | 反证法证明
Proof by contradiction is a standard P4 question. You assume the opposite of what you need to prove and derive an impossibility. Common topics include proving the irrationality of √2, or that a certain function cannot have two distinct real roots.
反证法是 P4 的常考题。假设要证明结论的反面成立，然后推导出矛盾。常见命题包括证明根号2是无理数，或证明某函数不可能有两个相异实根等。
Outline for √2 irrational: assume √2 = p/q in lowest terms. Squaring gives p2 = 2q2, so p is even, p = 2k. Then 4k2 = 2q2 ⇒ q2 = 2k2, so q is even, contradicting that p/q is in lowest terms.
√2 为无理数的证明框架： 假设 √2 = p/q 为最简分数。平方得 p2 = 2q2，故 p 为偶数，设 p = 2k。代入得 4k2 = 2q2 ⇒ q2 = 2k2，因此 q 也是偶数，与最简分数矛盾。
9. First-Order Differential Equations | 一阶微分方程
The MA04 paper includes solving first-order differential equations by separation of variables. You need to separate the variables, integrate both sides, and use an initial condition to find the constant of integration.
MA04 试卷包含利用分离变量法求解一阶微分方程。你需要分离变量，两边积分，并利用初始条件求出积分常数。
dy/dx = f(x) g(y) ⇒ ∫ (1/g(y)) dy = ∫ f(x) dx
Context may involve rate of change of temperature, population growth, or concentration. Always present the final particular solution clearly and interpret it in the given model.
情境题可能涉及温度变化率、人口增长或浓度模型。务必清晰写出最终特解，并在给定模型中解释其含义。
10. Trigonometry Modelling and Harmonic Form | 三角函数建模与辅助角形式
α) or R sin(t ± α) is essential for finding maximum/minimum values and solving equations.
题目常要求用形如 a cos t + b sin t 的函数为周期现象建模。利用辅助角形式 R cos(t ± α) 或 R sin(t ± α) 是求最值和解方程的关键。
a cos θ + b sin θ = R cos(θ − α) where R = √a2+b2, tan α = b/a
In modelling, relate R to amplitude, use α to find the time of first maximum, and solve for times when a quantity reaches a given value within a specified interval.
在建模中，R 对应振幅，利用 α 可求出第一次达到最大值的时间，并能在指定区间内解出达到某一给定值的时刻。
