In 2013 alevel, factorisation of the difference of two cubes can be used in one of the questions
Here are the formulas students should remember:
Students can use the mnemonic “SOAP” to help them remember the formula.
S: Same sign
O: Opposite sign
A: Always
P: Positive
Juggling is a shortcut to long division, especially in the case where the degree of the numerator is the same as the denominator. In H2 math, juggling is a useful technique in finding the asymptote of graphs and integration.
Many students, including JC H2 math students, have difficulty doing long division when it comes to complex problems.
Try this problem to test or sharpen your long division skills.
Question
If 
is a factor of 
, prove by long division that 
Solution
Synthetic division can be used to divide a polynomial by a linear divisor, which is commonly required in H2 math and Amath.
It is faster than the traditional long division.
Partial fraction is commonly used in binomial expansion, method of difference and integration.
When the divisor consists only of linear factors, cover up rule can be used to find the constants in the partial fraction quickly.
Example
Express 
in partial fraction.
By cover up rule,
Therefore
0 = A+C
Therefore,
