Sketching Graphs – A Level Maths Revision
Sketching graphs is a useful skill when you need to check the overall shape of a graph, but don’t need to plot it perfectly. This blog describes sketching graphs of cubic, quartic and reciprocal curves (you should have already learnt … Continue reading Sketching Graphs – A Level Maths Revision
The Factor Theorem – A Level Maths Revision
The factor theorem is a quick way to find linear factors of a polynomial. It can be used alongside your preferred method of polynomial division to fully factorise polynomials (we also have a full blog on how to factorise cubics). … Continue reading The Factor Theorem – A Level Maths Revision
Algebraic Division – A Level Maths Revision
Algebraic division, or polynomial division, allows you to divide one polynomial expression by another. There are a number of different ways of carrying out algebraic division: Below are some examples using all three of these methods – chose the method … Continue reading Algebraic Division – A Level Maths Revision
Representing Inequalities Graphically – A Level Maths Revision
It is possible to solve linear and quadratic inequalities graphically, using graphs to show the regions that satisfy single or multiple inequalities, as well as algebraically. Consider the two shaded regions below: When drawing inequalities graphically, you can either shade … Continue reading Representing Inequalities Graphically – A Level Maths Revision
