Image
objective: to recognise the general equation of cubic graphs where a is the dilation factor from the x-axis and (h,k) is the point of inflection

6D:solving cubics equations

Image
Objectives: similar to ex 6C, we need to factorise the cubic equation and apply the Null Factor Law learned in chapter 3-Quadratics.  Case 1: factors form. Use Null factor loaw Case 2: groupings- factorise the first two terms, factor out the common factor, and finally null factor law case 3: apply factor theorem, long division, cross method and finally null factor law

6C - factorisation of polynomials

Image
Here, you will learn how to factorise polynomials of degree 3 and above. In chapter 3, you've learned how to factorise quadratic equations using a variety of techniques. These were: cross method, common factors, completing the square, the quadratic equation. However, when it comes to polynomials of higher power, those strategies don't apply to it. In this exercise, we will learn about the Remainder Theorem and the Factor theorem. These two provide the foundation for factorising polynomials. You will also need to be strong in long division in the previous exercise in order to be successful in this section.

6B - dividing polynomials

4D- Circles

Image
Objectives: >Identify the general equation of circles >identify the centre (h,k) and the radius >sketch the circle relation >advanced: applying Complete the square method to factorise the circle relation Task 1: click here explore how the values of (h,k) influences the centre of the circle explore how the value 'r' influences the shape of the circle Task 2: click here What is the centre of this circle? what is the radius of this circle? Can you rewrite the relation into the general circle equation? What method could we use? Notes:

Week 6 learning task

Task 1:  circle patterns click here In this activity, students notice similarities and differences in a set of circles. They use this information to practice writing equations of circles that extend a given pattern or match a given set of conditions. Task 2: domain and range click here This activity will encourage student creativity while also helping them review a) function inequalities, and b) domain and range restrictions.
