Chapter 4 Indices and Surds Chapter 1 Simultaneous Equations, Polynomials and Partial Fractions

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

Simplify surds using
a b =
a b

b =

ab ,

Use conjugate surds to rationalize the surd denominator of a fraction. Solve simple equations involving surds. Apply the rules of indices to simple problems. Solve exponential equations of the form ax = b where b = an Solve exponential equations using substitutions. Solve two simultaneous equations in two variables, where at least one is a non-linear equation Use the Remainder Theorem to find the remainder when an expression is divided by a linear factor Factorise cubic expressions or polynomials of higher degree using the Factor Theorem Solve cubic equations and problems involving cubic equations Use of a 3 + b 3 = (a + b)(a 2 ab + b 2 )

a 3 b 3 = (a b)(a 2 + ab + b 2 )
