4: Further algebra and functions

#4.1

Roots and coefficients of polynomials

Understand and use the relationship between roots and coefficients of polynomial equations up to quartic equations.

#4.2

Linear transformation of roots of polynomials

Form a polynomial equation whose roots are a linear transformation of the roots of a given polynomial equation (of at least cubic degree).

#4.3

Sums of integers, squares and cubes

Understand and use formulae for the sums of integers, squares and cubes and use these to sum other series.

#4.4

Method of differences for summation of series

Understand and use the method of differences for summation of series including use of partial fractions.

#4.5

Maclaurin series

Find the Maclaurin series of a function including the general term.

#4.6

Maclaurin series for specific functions

Recognise and use the Maclaurin series for exe^x, ln(1+x)\ln{(1 + x)}, sinx\sin{x}, cosx\cos{x} and (1+x)n(1 + x)^n, and be aware of the range of values of xx for which they are valid (proof not required).
