Do you know that roots of a quadratic equation can also mean the solutions, the x intercepts or simply put it the answers to the equation?
It is something we have learnt since lower secondary.
In 2019, GCE O Level Additional Maths Paper 2 Q10 tested candidates on their basic understanding of roots.
11 marks! Wow!
If you have been simply surface learning, you won't get past part (i) of the question.

Hi, I'm Ai Ling Ong. I enjoy coaching students who have challenges with understanding and scoring in 'O' Level A-Maths and E-Maths. I develop Math strategies, sometimes ridiculous ideas to help students in understanding abstract concepts the fast and memorable way. I write this blog to share with you the stuff I teach in my class, the common mistakes my students made, the 'way' to think, analyze... If you have found this blog post useful, please share it with your friends. I will really appreciate it! :)
