HW1 Linear and Quadratic Equations Your first Maths homework! It is important to get into good habits right away. Read the
notes you made in class and try to remember what was said about the background to the
topic.
Use lined or squared paper. Write your name, title of homework, date, teacher. Work in
pen or pencil. Show appropriate working then mark your answers with a tick, cross or
? This way you will learn more effectively. If you have any questions or feedback write this
on the homework. This is your chance to make a good first impression – thoughtful work
clearly presented please.
Key words: solve, factors, factorise, equation, linear, quadratic
Now solve these linear equations. They are not hard but you should think very carefully
about the logic of what you are doing. This is also a good opportunity to brush up your
mental arithmetic.

answers below.
Key words: substitute, values, fraction, negative number
It is very important that you become fluent in the use of fractions and negative numbers.
You will ONLY be successful at AS maths if you regularly practice this. Take every
opportunity to work out simple sums in your head. The exercise below is designed to show
you the level of work you should easily be able to do without a calculator.

answers below. Remember to write your Name, Title, Date.
Keywords: Transformation, scale factor, translation, reflection, inequality, less
than or equal, more than. OR AND.
Transformations [typical exam questions]
Read pages 51-59 . Write a short summary to remind you of the key points.
1. This diagram shows a sketch of the curve with
equation y = f(x). The curve crosses the x-axis at
the points (2, 0) and (4, 0). The minimum point on
the curve is P(3, –2).
In separate diagrams sketch the curve with equation
(a) y = –f(x), (3)
(b) y = f(2x). (3)
On each diagram, give the coordinates of the points at which the curve crosses the x-
axis, and the coordinates of the image of P under the given transformation.
2. The figure above shows a sketch of the
curve with equation y = f(x). The curve
passes through the points (0, 3) and (4,
0) and touches the x-axis at the point (1,
0).
On separate diagrams sketch the curve
with equation
(a) y = f(x + 1), (3)
(b) y = 2f(x), (3)
(c)
(3) On each diagram show clearly the coordinates of all the points where the curve meets
the axes.
3. Given that f(x) =x
1, x ≠ 0,
(a) sketch the graph of 3)(f += xy and state the equations of the asymptotes. (3)
(b) find the coordinates of the point where 3)(f += xy crosses a coordinate
