Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =. … If the statement is true the number is a solution to the equation or inequality.
In this topic, we cover the revision of the following: Linear equations, algebraic function, differentiation and integration.
At the end of this topic, students should understand the following among other things
- Recall previous knowledge of algebraic functions and calculus
- How to solve quadratic equations using factorization, completing the square, the quadratic formula, and graphical methods,
- Transform word problems into quadratic and linear equations that may be solved algebraically,
- Find the gradient function of a simple quadratic curve and hence find the gradient of the curve at a given point,
- Apply different calculus to determine: rates of change including gradients, velocity and acceleration; turning points on a curve and curve sketching,
