    P1 Unit 1 :: Equations

    Adapted from the slides by Dr


    Frost
    Equations : Overview
    There is little new content in this unit since GCSE.

    1:: Simultaneous Equations 2:: Simultaneous Equations using Graphs


    Solve: Find the points of intersection of
    and
    NEW! (since GCSE)
    You may have to use the discriminant to show that
    the two graphs have no points of intersection.

    3:: Solving Inequalities 4:: Sketching Inequalities


    Find the set of values of for Sketch the region that
    which: satisfies the inequalities:

    NEW! (since GCSE, and new to A Level 2017+)


    Use set notation to represent solutions to
    inequalities.
    Solutions sets

    The solution(s) to an equation may be:

    A single value: 2 𝑥+1=5


    2
    Multiple values: 𝑥 + 3 𝑥 +2=0
    An infinitely large
    set of values: 𝑥> 3
    2
    No (real) values! 𝑥 =− 1
    2
    Every value! 𝑥 + 𝑥=𝑥 ( 𝑥 +1 )
    The point is that you shouldn’t think of the solution to an equation/inequality as
    an ‘answer’, but a set of values, which might just be a set of 1 value (known as a
    singleton set), a set of no values (i.e. the empty set ), or an infinite set (in the last
    example above, this was )

    ! The solutions to an equation are known as the solution set.


    Solutions sets
    For simultaneous equations, the same is true, except each ‘solution’ in the
    solution set is an assignment to multiple variables.
    All equations have to be satisfied at the same time, i.e. ‘simultaneously’.

    Scenario Example Solution Set

    𝑥+ 𝑦=9
    Solution 1:
    A single solution:
    ? ?
    To be precise here, the solution set is of
    size 1, but this solution is an assignment
    to multiple variables, i.e. a pair of values.

    Solution 1:
    2 2
    Two solutions:
    𝑥 + 𝑦? =10 Solution 2:
    ?
    This time we have two solutions,
    each an pair.

    𝑥+ 𝑦=1
    The solution set is empty,
    No solutions: ? ?
    i.e. , as both equation can’t
    be satisfied at the same time.

    𝑥+ 𝑦=1
    Solution 1:
    Infinitely large set Solution 2:
    of solutions: ? Solution 3:
    Solution 4:
    ?
    … Infinite possibilities!
    1 :: Simultaneous Equations
    Recap!

    Solve the simultaneous equations: Solve the simultaneous equations:

    We can’t use elimination this time as nothing


    We can either use substitution (i.e. would cancel.
    making or the subject of one equation, We instead:
    and substituting it into the other) or (1) Rearrange linear equation to make or the
    elimination, but the latter is easier for subject.
    linear equations. (2) Substitute into quadratic equation and solve.

    Adding the two equations to Substitute into other equation:


    ‘eliminate’ :
    ? ?
    Substituting into first equation:
