These can usually be found on Amazon or in various other online stores.The questions listed below are the minimum amount of work required for you to complete. As you will see there are more questions on the worksheets which we encourage you to try if you are struggling with a particular topic.You will need to complete the questions on these topics and to show us the work on the second lesson of the first full week of lessons. You will be given a test in your second full week in college on these topics – if you do not achieve the required pass mark you will not be allowed to continue with this icResources and QuestionsAlgebraKnow how to rearrange various formulae to make ‘x’ the subject E.g make x the subject for:p = 3(y + 2x)?, etcCorbett MathsVideo 8Rearranging Equations, Topic 8Complete questions 2 a-h and use the laws of indices for all rational exponentsam×an=am+nam÷an=am-namn=amnThe equivalence of amn and nam should be knownCorbett mathsVideos 172, 173, 174, 175Questions to Complete: Fractional Indices, Topic 173Complete questions 7,8 and 9’s of Indices, Topic 174Complete Questions 4 and 5: Indices, Topic 175Complete Question 8 and manipulate surds, including rationalising the denominatorYou should be able to simplify algebraic surds using the resultsx2=x, xy=x×yxy=xyx+yx-y=x-yCorbett mathsVideos 305, 306, 307, 308Simplifying Surds, Topics Topics 305-308Complete Questions 10,11,12,13,14,15 -Rationalising the Denominator, Topics 305-308Complete Questions 16 and 17: with quadratic functions and their graphsThe notation f(x) may be usedCorbett mathsVideo 267aSketching Graphs, Topic 265Complete Questions 6 and 10 of quadratic equationsSolutions of quadratic equations by FactorisationUse of the formulaCompleting the squareCorbett mathsVideos 266, 267, 267b, 267c, 267dFactorising Quadratics, Topic 118 Textbook Questions Complete Question 5 a-h the Quadratic Formula to Solve, Topic 267 Complete Question 2 the Square, Topic 267aComplete Questions 4,5,6 EquationsSolve simultaneous equations in two variables by elimination and by substitution, including one linear and one quadratic equationThe quadratic may involve powers of 2 in one unknown or in both unknowns.Corbett mathsVideos 295, 296, 297, 298Elimination, Topic 295 Complete Questions 1 a-f Simultaneous Equations, Topic 298Complete Question 2 able to solve linear and quadratic inequalities and interpret graphs of them.
