What students need to learn:

Laws of indices for all rational exponents. The equivalence of am/n and n—am
should be known.

Use and manipulation of surds. Students should be able to


rationalise denominators.

Quadratic functions and their graphs.

The discriminant of a quadratic function.

Completing the square. Solution of quadratic Solution of quadratic equations by


equations. factorisation, use of the formula
and completing the square.

Simultaneous equations: analytical solution by For example, where one equation


substitution. is linear and one equation is
quadratic.

Solution of linear and quadratic inequalities. For example, ax + b > cx + d,


px2 + qx + r t 0, px2 + qx + r < ax + b.
