@® Expanding brackets
To find the product of two expressions you multiply each term in one expression by each term in the
other expression.
Multiplying each of the 2 terms in the first expression by each of the

IF is an integer that is not a square number, then
Examples of surds are V2, y19 and 5y2.
Surds are examples of irrational numbers.
The decimal expansion of a surd is never-ending
and never repeats, for example v2 = 1414213562.
any multiple of V7 is called a surd.
{rrational numbers cannot be written
in the form 5 where a and bare integers.
Surds are examples of irrational numbers.
You can use surds to write exact answers to calculations.

@ Modelling with quadratics
A mathematical model is a mathematical description of a real-life situation. Mathematical
models use the language and tools of mathematics to represent and explore real-life patterns and
relationships, and to predict what is going to happen next.
Models can be simple or complicated, and their results can be approximate or exact. Sometimes a model
is only valid under certain circumstances, or fora limited range of inputs. You will lean more about how
‘models involve simplifications and assumptions in Statistics and Mechanics.
Quadratic functions can be used to model and explore a range of practical contexts, including
projectile motion.

@ Quartic graphs
A quartic function has the form f(x) = ax! + by? + cx? + dv +e, where a,b,c, dand e are real
numbers and ais non-zero.
The graph of a quartic function can take several different forms, depending on the exact nature of the
function.
