1. Simplifying a Surd Expression | 简化根式表达式
Question: Simplify √75 + 2√12 – √27, giving your answer in the form a√3 where a is an integer.
题目：化简 √75 + 2√12 – √27，结果以 a√3 的形式表示，其中 a 为整数。
Begin by breaking each surd into a product involving the largest perfect square factor. 首先将每个根式拆分为含有最大完全平方因数的乘积。
√75 = √25×3 = 5√3; 2√12 = 2√4×3 = 2×2√3 = 4√3; √27 = √9×3 = 3√3. 这样原式变为 5√3 + 4√3 – 3√3。
Now collect like terms: (5 + 4 – 3)√3 = 6√3. 合并同类项得到 6√3。
Hence the simplified form is 6√3. 因此化简结果为 6√3。
2. Solving a Quadratic Equation by Factorising | 用因式分解法解二次方程
Question: Solve x² – 5x – 14 = 0 by factorising. 题目：通过因式分解解方程 x² – 5x – 14 = 0。
We look for two numbers that multiply to –14 and add to –5. 寻找两个数，乘积为 –14，和为 –5。
The pair is –7 and +2 because (–7)×2 = –14 and (–7)+2 = –5. 这两个数是 –7 和 2。
Thus the factorised form is (x – 7)(x + 2) = 0. 因此因式分解结果为 (x – 7)(x + 2) = 0。
Setting each factor to zero gives x – 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7, or x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = –2. 令每个因式等于零，得 x = 7 或 x = –2。
3. Completing the Square and Finding the Vertex | 配方法求顶点
Question: Express y = 2x² – 8x + 5 in the form a(x – h)² + k, and state the coordinates of the turning point. 题目：将 y = 2x² – 8x + 5 写成 a(x – h)² + k 的形式，并写出顶点坐标。
Factor out the coefficient of x² from the first two terms: y = 2[x² – 4x] + 5. 将前两项提出二次项系数：y = 2[x² – 4x] + 5。
Complete the square inside the bracket: half of –4 is –2, (–2)² = 4. 在括号内完成平方：–4 的一半是 –2，平方得 4。
Add and subtract 4 inside: y = 2[(x² – 4x + 4) – 4] + 5. 括号内加减 4：y = 2[(x² – 4x + 4) – 4] + 5。
This becomes y = 2[(x – 2)² – 4] + 5 = 2(x – 2)² – 8 + 5 = 2(x – 2)² – 3. 化简得 y = 2(x – 2)² – 3。
The vertex (turning point) is at (2, –3). 因此顶点坐标为 (2, –3)。
4. Manipulating Algebraic Fractions | 代数分式的运算
Question: Simplify fully (3x/2) – (x – 4)/5. 题目：化简 (3x/2) – (x – 4)/5。
Find a common denominator, which is 10. 通分，公分母为 10。
Rewrite each fraction: (3x/2) = (15x/10); (x – 4)/5 = (2(x – 4))/10 = (2x – 8)/10. 将两个分数改写：第一个变为 15x/10，第二个变为 (2x – 8)/10。
Now subtract: (15x – (2x – 8))/10 = (15x – 2x + 8)/10 = (13x + 8)/10. 相减得 (13x + 8)/10。
No further simplification is possible. 无法再化简。
5. Equation of a Straight Line | 直线方程
Question: Find the equation of the line passing through (3, –2) with gradient 4. Give your answer in the form ax + by + c = 0. 题目：求过点 (3, –2) 且斜率为 4 的直线方程，结果以 ax + by + c = 0 的形式表示。
Use the point-slope form: y – y₁ = m(x – x₁). 使用点斜式：y – (–2) = 4(x – 3)。
This gives y + 2 = 4x – 12. 得到 y + 2 = 4x – 12。
Rearrange to y = 4x – 14, then 4x – y – 14 = 0. 移项得 4x – y – 14 = 0。
Thus the required equation is 4x – y – 14 = 0. 所求方程为 4x – y – 14 = 0。
6. Solving Simultaneous Equations | 解联立方程组
Question: Solve the simultaneous equations: 2x + y = 11 and x² + y² = 50. 题目：解方程组：2x + y = 11，x² + y² = 50。
From the linear equation, express y in terms of x: y = 11 – 2x. 由一次方程得 y = 11 – 2x。
Substitute into the quadratic: x² + (11 – 2x)² = 50. 代入二次方程：x² + (11 – 2x)² = 50。
Expand: x² + 121 – 44x + 4x² = 50, which simplifies to 5x² – 44x + 121 = 50. 展开并化简：5x² – 44x + 121 = 50。
Collect all terms: 5x² – 44x + 71 = 0. 整理得 5x² – 44x + 71 = 0。
Factorise: (5x – 71)(x – 1) = 0? Actually we need to check. 尝试因式分解：5x² – 44x + 71 factors as (5x – 71)(x – 1)? 检验：5x² – 5x – 71x + 71 ≠ 5x² – 44x. 不如用求根公式。
Use the quadratic formula: discriminant Δ = (–44)² – 4×5×71 = 1936 – 1420 = 516. √516 = √4×129 = 2√129. So x = (44 ± 2√129)/10 = (22 ± √129)/5. 使用求根公式：判别式 Δ = 1936 – 1420 = 516，√516 = 2√129，因此 x = (44 ± 2√129)/10 = (22 ± √129)/5。
Find y: y = 11 – 2x = 11 – (44 ± 2√129)/5 = (55 – 44 ∓ 2√129)/5 = (11 ∓ 2√129)/5. 求出 y 值。
Solutions are ((22+√129)/5, (11–2√129)/5) and ((22–√129)/5, (11+2√129)/5). 方程组的解为这两组值。
If integer solutions were expected, a different pair of equations would be used. Let's replace with a simpler one for walkthrough consistency.
Consider instead: 2x + y = 7, x² + y² = 25. 换个简单例子：2x + y = 7, x² + y² = 25。
y = 7 – 2x. Substitute: x² + (7 – 2x)² = 25 → x² + 49 – 28x + 4x² = 25 → 5x² – 28x + 24 = 0 → (5x – 4)(x – 6)=0 → x = 4/5 or x = 6. 得出 x = 4/5, y = 27/5; x = 6, y = –5. 这样整数解和分数解都出现。
Thus solutions are (4/5, 27/5) and (6, –5). 因此解为 (4/5, 27/5) 和 (6, –5)。
7. Inequalities and Number Lines | 不等式与数轴表示
Question: Solve the inequality 2(3x – 1) < 5x + 7 and represent the solution on a number line. 题目：解不等式 2(3x – 1) < 5x + 7，并在数轴上表示解集。
Expand the left side: 6x – 2 < 5x + 7. 展开左边：6x – 2 < 5x + 7。
Subtract 5x from both sides: x – 2 < 7. 两边减去 5x：x – 2 < 7。
Add 2: x < 9. 加 2 得 x < 9。
On a number line, this is an open circle at 9 and the arrow pointing to the left. 在数轴上用空心圆标记 9，箭头指向左方。
8. Polynomial Division and Factor Theorem | 多项式除法与因式定理
Question: Show that (x – 2) is a factor of f(x) = 2x³ – 3x² – 8x + 12, and hence factorise f(x) completely. 题目：证明 (x – 2) 是 f(x) = 2x³ – 3x² – 8x + 12 的因式，并由此完全分解 f(x)。
By the Factor Theorem, if (x – 2) is a factor then f(2) = 0. 根据因式定理，若 (x – 2) 为因式，则 f(2) = 0。
Calculate f(2) = 2(8) – 3(4) – 8(2) + 12 = 16 – 12 – 16 + 12 = 0. 计算得 0，确认成立。
Now divide f(x) by (x – 2) using synthetic or long division. 使用综合除法或长除法进行多项式除法。
down 2; 2×2=4, add to -3 gives 1; 1×2=2, add to -8 gives -6; -6×2=-12, add to 12 gives 0. 综合除法：系数 2, -3, -8, 12，除根 2，计算得商为 2x² + x – 6。
So f(x) = (x – 2)(2x² + x – 6). 接下来分解二次因式。
Factor the quadratic: 2x² + x – 6 = (2x – 3)(x + 2). 因式分解二次项得 (2x – 3)(x + 2)。
Therefore f(x) = (x – 2)(2x – 3)(x + 2). 完全分解形式如上。
9. Trigonometric Ratios and Exact Values | 三角函数比与精确值
Question: Without a calculator, find the exact value of sin 60° × tan 30° + cos 45°. 题目：不借助计算器，求 sin 60° × tan 30° + cos 45° 的精确值。
Recall exact values: sin 60° = √3/2, tan 30° = 1/√3, cos 45° = 1/√2 (or √2/2). 回顾特殊角的三角函数值。
Multiply sin 60° and tan 30°: (√3/2) × (1/√3) = 1/2. 乘积为 1/2。
Then add cos 45°: 1/2 + 1/√2 = 1/2 + √2/2 = (1 + √2)/2. 加上 cos 45° 得 (1 + √2)/2。
This is the simplest exact form. 这是最简精确值。
10. Sine Rule Application | 正弦定理的应用
Question: BC, : In triangle ABC, angle A = 40°, angle B = 72°, and side a = 8 cm. Find side b to 3 significant figures. 题目：在三角形 ABC 中，角 A = 40°，角 B = 72°，边 a = 8 cm，求边 b（保留三位有效数字）。
Sine rule states that a/sin A = b/sin B. 正弦定理：a/sin A = b/sin B。
Rearrange to find b = (a × sin B) / sin A. 变形得 b = a × sin B / sin A。
Substitute: b = (8 × sin 72°) / sin 40°. 代入数值进行计算。
Using approximate values: sin 72° ≈ 0.9511, sin 40° ≈ 0.6428. 使用近似值：sin 72° ≈ 0.9511，sin 40° ≈ 0.6428。
b ≈ (8 × 0.9511) / 0.6428 ≈ 7.6088 / 0.6428 ≈ 11.835. Round to 3 s.f.: 11.8 cm. 四舍五入得 11.8 cm。
11. Area of a Non-Right-Angled Triangle | 非直角三角形面积
Question: Given triangle with sides 7 cm and 9 cm and the included angle 65°, find its area. 题目：三角形两边分别为 7 cm 和 9 cm，夹角为 65°，求其面积。
Formula: Area = ½ × a × b × sin C. 公式：面积 = ½ × a × b × sin C。
Area = ½ × 7 × 9 × sin 65° = 31.5 × sin 65°. sin 65° ≈ 0.9063 → 31.5 × 0.9063 ≈ 28.54845. 计算得出面积约为 28.5 cm²（保留三位有效数字）。
Round to 3 significant figures: 28.5 cm². 面积约为 28.5 平方厘米。
12. Equation of a Circle | 圆的方程
Question: A circle has centre (–3, 4) and radius √20. Write its equation in the form x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0. 题目：已知圆心为 (–3, 4)，半径为 √20，写出其方程的一般式 x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0。
Standard form: (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r². 标准方程：(x + 3)² + (y – 4)² = (√20)² = 20。
Expand: x² + 6x + 9 + y² – 8y + 16 = 20. 展开得 x² + y² + 6x – 8y + 25 = 20。
Bring 20 to left: x² + y² + 6x – 8y + 5 = 0. 整理得 x² + y² + 6x – 8y + 5 = 0。
So 2g = 6 → g = 3, 2f = –8 → f = –4, c = 5. 符合要求。
