PREFACE
This book covers the Preliminary syllabus for Mathematics. The syllabus is available through the NSW Board of Studies website on www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au. You can also access resources, study techniques, examination technique, sample and past examination papers through other websites such as www.math.nsw.edu.au and www.csu.edu.au. Searching the Internet generally will pick up many websites supporting the work in this course. Each chapter has comprehensive fully worked examples and explanations as well as ample sets of graded exercises. The theory follows a logical order, although some topics may be learned in any order. Each chapter contains Test Yourself and Challenge exercises, and there are several practice assessment tasks throughout the book. If you have trouble doing the Test Yourself exercises at the end of a chapter, you will need to go back into the chapter and revise it before trying them again. Dont attempt to do the Challenge exercises until you are condent that you can do the Test Yourself exercises, as these are more difcult and are designed to test the more able students who understand the topic really well.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks go to my family, especially my husband Geoff, for supporting me in writing this book.

A syllabus matrix is included to show where each syllabus topic ts into the book. Topics are generally arranged in a logical order. For example, arithmetic and algebra are needed in most, if not all other topics, so these are treated at the beginning of the book. Some teachers like to introduce particular topics before others, e.g. linear functions before more general functions. However, part of the work on gradient requires some knowledge of trigonometry and the topic of angles of any magnitude in trigonometry needs some knowledge of functions. So the order of most chapters in the book have been carefully thought out. Some chapters, however, could be covered in a different order, such as geometry which is covered in Chapter 4, and quadratic functions and locus, which are near the end of the book.

STUDY SKILLS
You may have coasted through previous stages without needing to rely on regular study, but in this course many of the topics are new and you will need to systematically revise in order to build up your skills and to remember them. The Preliminary course introduces the basics of topics such as calculus that are then applied in the HSC course. You will struggle in the HSC if you dont set yourself up to revise the preliminary topics as you learn new HSC topics. Your teachers will be able to help you build up and manage good study habits. Here are a few hints to get you started.
There is no right or wrong way to learn. Different styles of learning suit different people. There is also no magical number of hours a week that you should study, as this will be different for every student. But just listening in class and taking notes is not enough, especially when learning material that is totally new. You wouldnt go for your drivers licence after just one trip in the car, or enter a dance competition after learning a dance routine once. These skills take a lot of practice. Studying mathematics is just the same. If a skill is not practised within the rst 24 hours, up to 50% can be forgotten. If it is not practised within 72 hours, up to 8590% can be forgotten! So it is really important that whatever your study timetable, new work must be looked at soon after it is presented to you. With a continual succession of new work to learn and retain, this is a challenge. But the good news is that you dont have to study for hours on end!
In the classroom
In order to remember, rst you need to focus on what is being said and done. According to an ancient proverb:
If you chat to friends and just take notes without really paying attention, you arent giving yourself a chance to remember anything and will have to study harder at home. If you have just had a ght with a friend, have been chatting about weekend activities or myriad other conversations outside the classroom, it helps if you can check these at the door and dont keep chatting about them once the lesson starts. If you are unsure of something that the teacher has said, the chances are that others are also not sure. Asking questions and clarifying things will ultimately help you gain better results, especially in a subject like mathematics where much of the knowledge and skills depends on being able to understand the basics. Learning is all about knowing what you know and what you dont know. Many students feel like they dont know anything, but its surprising just how much they know already. Picking up the main concepts in class and not worrying too much about other less important parts can really help. The teacher can guide you on this. Here are some pointers to get the best out of classroom learning: Take control and be responsible for your own learning Clear your head of other issues in the classroom Active, not passive, learning is more memorable Ask questions if you dont understand something Listen for cues from the teacher Look out for what are the main concepts
xi
Note taking varies from class to class, but there are some general guidelines that will help when you come to read over your notes later on at home: Write legibly Use different colours to highlight important points or formulae Make notes in textbooks (using pencil if you dont own the textbook) Use highlighter pens to point out important points Summarise the main points If notes are scribbled, rewrite them at home
At home
You are responsible for your own learning and nobody else can tell you how best to study. Some people need more revision time than others, some study better in the mornings while others do better at night, and some can work at home while others prefer a library. There are some general guidelines for studying at home: Revise both new and older topics regularly Have a realistic timetable and be exible Summarise the main points Revise when you are fresh and energetic Divide study time into smaller rather than longer chunks Study in a quiet environment Have a balanced life and dont forget to have fun! If you are given exercises out of a textbook to do for homework, consider asking the teacher if you can leave some of them till later and use these for revision. It is not necessary to do every exercise at one sitting, and you learn better if you can spread these over time. People use different learning styles to help them study. The more variety the better, and you will nd some that help you more than others. Some people (around 35%) learn best visually, some (25%) learn best by hearing and others (40%) learn by doing. Here are some ideas to give you a variety of ways to study: Summarise on cue cards or in a small notebook Use colourful posters Use mindmaps and diagrams Discuss work with a group of friends Read notes out aloud Make up songs and rhymes Do exercises regularly Role play teaching someone else
xii
And nally
Study involves knowing what you dont know, and putting in a lot of time into concentrating on these areas. This is a positive way to learn. Rather than just saying, I cant do this, say instead, I cant do this yet, and use your teachers, friends, textbooks and other ways of nding out. With the parts of the course that you do know, make sure you can remember these easily under exam pressure by putting in lots of practice. Remember to look at new work today tomorrow in a week in a month Some people hardly ever nd time to study while others give up their outside lives to devote their time to study. The ideal situation is to balance study with other aspects of your life, including going out with friends, working and keeping up with sport and other activities that you enjoy.

Basic Arithmetic
TERMINOLOGY
Absolute value: The distance of a number from zero on the number line. Hence it is the magnitude or value of a number without the sign Directed numbers: The set of integers or whole numbers f -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, f Exponent: Power or index of a number. For example 23 has a base number of 2 and an exponent of 3 Index: The power of a base number showing how many times this number is multiplied by itself e.g. 2 3 = 2 # 2 # 2. The index is 3 Indices: More than one index (plural) Recurring decimal: A repeating decimal that does not terminate e.g. 0.777777 is a recurring decimal that can be written as a fraction. More than one digit can recur e.g. 0.14141414 ... Scientic notation: Sometimes called standard notation. A standard form to write very large or very small numbers as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10 e.g. 765 000 000 is 7.65 # 10 8 in scientific notation
INTRODUCTION
THIS CHAPTER GIVES A review of basic arithmetic skills, including knowing the
correct order of operations, rounding off, and working with fractions, decimals and percentages. Work on significant figures, scientific notation and indices is also included, as are the concepts of absolute values. Basic calculator skills are also covered in this chapter.
Real Numbers
Types of numbers
Unreal or imaginary numbers Real numbers
Rational numbers
Irrational numbers
Integers
Integers are whole numbers that may be positive, negative or zero. e.g. - 4, 7, 0, -11 a Rational numbers can be written in the form of a fraction b 3 where a and b are integers, b ! 0. e.g. 1 , 3.7, 0. 5, - 5 4 a Irrational numbers cannot be written in the form of a fraction (that b is, they are not rational) e.g. 2 , r
EXAMPLE
Which of these numbers are rational and which are irrational? 3 r 3 , 1. 3, , 9 , , - 2.65 4 5
Solution
r are irrational as they cannot be written as fractions (r is irrational). 4 3 13 1 1. 3 = 1 , 9 = and - 2.65 = - 2 so they are all rational. 3 1 20 3 and
Order of operations
1. Brackets: do calculations inside grouping symbols rst. (For example, a fraction line, square root sign or absolute value sign can act as a grouping symbol.) 2. Multiply or divide from left to right. 3. Add or subtract from left to right.
EXAMPLE
Evaluate 40 - 3 ] 5 + 4 g .
Solution
40 - 3 (5 + 4) = 40 - 3# 9 = 40 - 27 = 13
BRACKETS KEYS
Use ( and ) to open and close brackets. Always use them in pairs. For example, to evaluate 40 - 3 ] 5 + 4 g press 40 - 3 # ( 5 + 4 ) = = 13 5.67 - 3.49 correct to 1 decimal place To evaluate 1.69 + 2.77 press : ( ( 5.67 - 3.49 ) ' ( 1.69 + 2.77 ) ) = = 0.7 correct to 1 decimal place
PROBLEM
What is wrong with this calculation? Evaluate 19 - 4 1+2 Press 19 - 4 ' 1 + 2 = 19 - 4 '1 + 2
17
MEMORY KEYS
Use STO to store a number in memory. There are several memories that you can use at the same timeany letter from A to F, or X, Y and M on the keypad. To store the number 50 in, say, A press 50 STO A To recall this number, press ALPHA A = To clear all memories press SHIFT CLR
Different calculators use different keys so check the instructions for your calculator.
X -1 KEY
Use this key to find the reciprocal of x. For example, to evaluate 1 - 7.6 # 2.1 -1 = press ( (-) 7.6 # 2.1 ) x = - 0.063 (correct to 3 decimal places)
Rounding off
Rounding off is often done in everyday life. A quick look at a newspaper will give plenty of examples. For example in the sports section, a newspaper may report that 50 000 fans attended a football match. An accurate number is not always necessary. There may have been exactly 49 976 people at the football game, but 50 000 gives an idea of the size of the crowd.
EXAMPLES
1. Round off 24 629 to the nearest thousand.
Solution
This number is between 24 000 and 25 000, but it is closer to 25 000.
CONTINUED
Solution
This number is exactly halfway between 800 and 900. When a number is halfway, we round it off to the larger number. ` 850 = 900 to the nearest hundred
In this course you will need to round off decimals, especially when using trigonometry or logarithms. To round a number off to a certain number of decimal places, look at the next digit to the right. If this digit is 5 or more, add 1 to the digit before it and drop all the other digits after it. If the digit to the right is less than 5, leave the digit before it and drop all the digits to the right.
EXAMPLES
1. Round off 0.6825371 correct to 1 decimal place.
Add 1 to the 6 as the 8 is greater than 5.
Solution
0.6825371 # ` 0.6825371 = 0.7 correct to 1 decimal place 2. Round off 0.6825371 correct to 2 decimal places.
Drop off the 2 and all digits to the right as 2 is smaller than 5.
Solution
0.6825371 # ` 0.6825371 = 0.68 correct to 2 decimal places 3. Evaluate 3.56 ' 2.1 correct to 2 decimal places.
Check this on your calculator. Add 1 to the 69 as 5 is too large to just drop off.
Solution
3.56 ' 2.1 = 1.69 # 5238095 = 1.70 correct to 2 decimal places
FIX KEY
Use MODE or SET UP to fix the number of decimal places (see the instructions for your calculator). This will cause all answers to have a fixed number of decimal places until the calculator is turned off or switched back to normal.
While using a fixed number of decimal places on the display, the calculator still keeps track internally of the full number of decimal places.
EXAMPLE
Calculate 3.25 ' 1.72 # 5.97 + 7.32 correct to 2 decimal places.
Solution
3.25 ' 1.72 # 5.97 + 7.32 = 1.889534884 # 5.97 + 7.32 = 11.28052326 + 7.32 = 18.60052326 = 18.60 correct to 2 decimal places If the FIX key is set to 2 decimal places, then the display will show 2 decimal places at each step. 3.25 ' 1.72 # 5.97 + 7.32 = 1.89 # 5.97 + 7.32 = 11.28 + 7.32 = 18.60 If you then set the calculator back to normal, the display will show the full answer of 18.60052326.
The calculator does not round off at each step. If it did, the answer might not be as accurate. This is an important point, since some students round off each step in calculations and then wonder why they do not get the same answer as other students and the textbook.

Investigation
Explore patterns in recurring decimals by dividing numbers by 3, 6, 9, 11, and so on. Can you predict what the recurring decimal will be if a fraction has 3 in the denominator? What about 9 in the denominator? What about 11? Can you predict what fraction certain recurring decimals will be? What denominator would 1 digit recurring give? What denominator would you have for 2 digits recurring?

The examples on fractions show how to add, subtract, multiply or divide fractions both with and without the calculator. The decimal examples will help with some simple multiplying and the percentage examples will be useful in Chapter 8 of the HSC Course book when doing compound interest. Most students use their calculators for decimal calculations. However, it is important for you to know how to operate with decimals. Sometimes the calculator can give a wrong answer if the wrong key is pressed. If you can estimate the size of the answer, you can work out if it makes sense or not. You can also save time by doing simple calculations in your head.

So the price increases by $4.13 to $79.13. 7. The price of a book increased by 12%. If it now costs $18.00, what did it cost before the price rise?
Solution
The new price is 112% (old price 100%, plus 12%) $18.00 ` 1% = 112 $18.00 100 100% = # 112 1 = $16.07 So the old price was $16.07.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES The concept of signicant gures is related to rounding off. When we look at very large (or very small) numbers, some of the smaller digits are not signicant. For example, in a football crowd of 49 976, the 6 people are not really signicant in terms of a crowd of about 50 000! Even the 76 people are not signicant. When a company makes a prot of $5 012 342.87, the amount of 87 cents is not exactly a signicant sum! Nor is the sum of $342.87. To round off to a certain number of signicant gures, we count from the rst non-zero digit. In any number, non-zero digits are always signicant. Zeros are not signicant, except between two non-zero digits or at the end of a decimal number. Even though zeros may not be signicant, they are still necessary. For example 31, 310, 3100, 31 000 and 310 000 all have 2 signicant gures but are very different numbers! Scientic notation uses the signicant gures in a number.
EXAMPLES
12 000 = 1.2 #10 4 0.000 043 5 = 4.35#10 - 5 0.020 7 = 2.07 #10 - 2 (2 significant figures) (3 significant figures) (3 significant figures)
When rounding off to signicant gures, use the usual rules for rounding off.

Investigation
A logarithm is an index. It is a way of finding the power (or index) to which a base number is raised. For example, when solving 3 x = 9, the solution is x = 2. The 3 is called the base number and the x is the index or power. You will learn about logarithms in the HSC course.
The a is called the base number and the x is the index or power.
If a x = y then log a y = x
1. The expression log7 49 means the power of 7 that gives 49. The solution is 2 since 7 2 = 49. 2. The expression log2 16 means the power of 2 that gives 16. The solution is 4 since 2 4 = 16.

Absolute Value
Negative numbers are used in maths and science, to show opposite directions. For example, temperatures can be positive or negative.
But sometimes it is not appropriate to use negative numbers. For example, solving c 2 = 9 gives two solutions, c = !3. However when solving c 2 = 9, using Pythagoras theorem, we only use the positive answer, c = 3, as this gives the length of the side of a triangle. The negative answer doesnt make sense. We dont use negative numbers in other situations, such as speed. In science we would talk about a vehicle travelling at 60k/h going in a negative direction, but we would not commonly use this when talking about the speed of our cars!

Binomial Products
A binomial expression consists of two numbers, for example x + 3. A set of two binomial expressions multiplied together is called a binomial product. Example: ] x + 3 g ] x - 2 g. Each term in the rst bracket is multiplied by each term in the second bracket.
] a + b g ^ x + y h = ax + ay + bx + by
Proof
]a + bg]c + d g = a ]c + d g + b ]c + d g
= ac + ad + bc + bd

Some binomial products have special results and can be simplified quickly using their special properties. Binomial products involving perfect squares and the difference of two squares occur in many topics in mathematics. Their expansions are given below.
Difference of 2 squares
] a + b g ] a - b g = a2 - b2
Proof
(a + b) (a - b) = a 2 - ab + ab - b 2 = a2 - b2
Perfect squares
] a + b g2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2
Proof
] a + b g2 = (a + b) (a + b)
= a 2 + ab + ab + b 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2
]a - bg2 = a 2 - 2ab + b 2
Proof
] a - b g2 = (a - b) (a - b)
= a 2 - ab - ab + b 2 = a 2 - 2ab + b 2

Trinomials
A trinomial is an expression with three terms, for example x 2 - 4x + 3. Factorising a trinomial usually gives a binomial product. x 2 + ] a + b g x + ab = ] x + a g ] x + b g
Proof
x 2 + (a + b) x + ab = x 2 + ax + bx + ab = x(x + a) + b(x + a) = (x + a) (x + b)
EXAMPLES

The result x 2 + ] a + b g x + ab = ] x + a g ] x + b g only works when the coefficient of x 2 (the number in front of x 2) is 1. When the coefficient of x 2 is not 1, for example in the expression 5x 2 - 2x + 4, we need to use a different method to factorise the trinomial. There are different ways of factorising these trinomials. One method is the cross method. Another is called the PSF method. Or you can simply guess and check.
EXAMPLES
Factorise 1. 5y 2 - 13y + 6
61
The two numbers inside the brackets must multiply to give + 6. To get a positive answer, they must both have the same signs. But there is a negative sign in front of 13y so the numbers cannot be both positive. They must both be negative. ^ 5y - h ^ y - h To get a product of 6, the numbers must be 2 and 3 or 1 and 6. Guess 2 and 3 and check: ^ 5y - 2 h ^ y - 3 h = 5y 2 - 15y - 2y + 6 = 5y 2 - 17y + 6 This is not correct. Notice that we are mainly interested in checking the middle two terms, -15y and - 2y. Try 2 and 3 the other way around: ^ 5y - 3 h ^ y - 2 h . Checking the middle terms: -10y - 3y = -13y This is correct, so the answer is ^ 5y - 3 h ^ y - 2 h . Note: If this did not check out, do the same with 1 and 6.
Solutioncross method
Factors of 5y 2 are 5y and y. Factors of 6 are -1 and - 6 or - 2 and - 3. Possible combinations that give a middle term of -13y are 5y y 5y y -2 -3 -3 -2 5y y -3 -2 5y y -1 -6 5y y -6 -1
` 5y 2 - 13y + 6 = ^ 5y - 3 h ^ y - 2 h

Perfect squares
You have looked at some special binomial products, including ]a + bg2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 and ]a - bg2 = a 2 - 2ab + b 2 . When factorising, use these results the other way around.
a 2 + 2ab + b 2 = ] a + b g2 a 2 - 2ab + b 2 = ] a - b g2

Surds
An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a ratio or fraction (rational). Surds are special types of irrational numbers, such as 2, 3 and 5 . Some surds give rational values: for example, 9 = 3. Others, like 2 , do not have an exact decimal value. If a question involving surds asks for an exact answer, then leave it as a surd rather than giving a decimal approximation.

Expanding brackets
The same rules for expanding brackets and binomial products that you use in algebra also apply to surds.
82
Simplifying surds by removing grouping symbols uses these general rules. a^ b + ch=
ab + ac
Proof
a^ b + ch = = a# b + ab + ac a# c
Binomial product:
^ a + b h^ c + d h =
ac +
ad +
bc +
bd
Proof
^ a + b h^ c + d h = a # c + a # d + b # c + b # d = ac + ad + bc + bd
Perfect squares:
^ a + b h2 = a + 2 ab + b
Proof
^ a + b h2 = ^ a + b h ^ a + b h = a 2 + ab + ab + b 2 = a + 2 ab + b ^ a - b h2 = a - 2 ab + b
Proof
^ a - b h2 = ^ a - b h ^ a - b h = a 2 - ab - ab + b 2 = a - 2 ab + b
Difference of two squares:
^ a + b h^ a - b h = a - b
Proof
^ a + b h ^ a - b h = a 2 - ab + ab - b 2 =a-b

4. ^ 5 + 2 3 h ^ 5 - 2 3 h
Solution
( 5 + 2 3 ) ( 5 - 2 3 ) = 5 # 5 - 5 #2 3 + 2 3 # 5 - 2 3 #2 3 = 5 - 2 15 + 2 15 - 4#3 = 5 - 12 = -7 Another way to do this question is by using the difference of two squares.
2 2 ( 5 + 2 3)( 5 - 2 3) = ^ 5 h - ^2 3 h = 5 - 4#3 = -7
Notice that using the difference of two squares gives a rational answer.

Simple Equations
Here are the four rules for changing numbers or pronumerals from one side of an equation to the other.
Do the opposite operation to take a number to the other side of an equation.
If a number is added, subtract it from both sides If a number is subtracted, add it to both sides If a number is multiplied, divide both sides by the number If a number is divided, multiply both sides by the number

Substitution
Sometimes substituting values into a formula involves solving an equation.
Investigation
Body mass index (BMI) is a formula that is used to measure body fatness and is used by health professionals to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.
Chapter 3 Equations
101
This is not the only measure that is used when looking for health problems, however. For example, there are other factors in cardiac (heart) disease. Research these to find out what other things doctors look for. The BMI is used in a different way with children and teens, and is taken in relation to the childs age. w The formula for BMI is BMI = 2 where w is weight in kg and h is height h in metres. For adults over 20, a BMI under 18.5 means that the person is underweight and over 25 is overweight. Over 30 is obese. The BMI may not always be reliable in measuring body fat. Can you think of some reasons? Is it important where the body fat is stored? Does it make a difference if it is on the hips or the stomach? Research these questions and find out more about BMI generally.
EXAMPLES
1. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is given by S = 2 (lb + bh + lh) . Find the value of b when S = 180, l = 9 and h = 6.
Solution
S = 2 (lb + bh + lh) 180 = 2 (9b + 6b + 9 # 6) = 2 (15b + 54) = 30b + 108 180 - 108 = 30b + 108 - 108 72 = 30b 30b 72 = 30 30 2. 4 = b
Another way of doing this would be to change the subject of the formula first.

While it is always a good habit to check solutions to equations and inequations by substituting in values, in these next examples it is essential to check, as some of the solutions are impossible!
EXAMPLES
Solve 1. 2x + 1 = 3x - 2
Solution
2x + 1 = ! ] 3x - 2 g This question is impossible if 3x - 2 is negative. Can you see why? If 2x + 1 is equal to a negative number, this is impossible as the absolute value is always positive. Case (i) 2x + 1 = 3x - 2 2x - 2x + 1 = 3x - 2x - 2 1=x-2 1+2=x-2+2 3=x Check solution is possible: Substitute x = 3 into 2x + 1 = 3x - 2. LHS = 2 # 3 + 1 = 7 =7 RHS = 3 # 3 - 2 =9-2 =7 Since LHS = RHS, x = 3 is a solution. Case (ii) 2 x + 1 = - ( 3x - 2 ) = - 3x + 2 2x + 3x + 1 = - 3 x + 3x + 2 5x + 1 = 2 5x + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1 5x = 1 5x 1 = 5 5 1 x= 5 2x + 1 = 3x - 2 means that 2x + 1 is at a distance of 3x - 2 from zero.

It is often easier to solve these harder equations graphically. You will do this in Chapter 5.
Solution
In this question it is difficult to use distances on the number line, so we use the definition of absolute value. 2x - 3 2x - 3 = ' - (2 x - 3) x +1 x + 1 = ' - (x + 1) when 2x - 3 $ 0 when 2x - 3 1 0 when x + 1 $ 0 when x + 1 1 0
This gives 4 cases: (i) (2x - 3) + (x + 1) = 9 (ii) (2x - 3) - (x + 1) = 9 (iii) -(2x - 3) + (x + 1) = 9 (iv) -(2x - 3) - (x + 1) = 9 Case (i) ( 2x - 3 ) + ( x + 1 ) = 9 2x - 3 + x + 1 = 9 3x - 2 = 9 3x - 2 + 2 = 9 + 2 3x = 11 3x 11 = 3 3 2 x=3 3 Check by substituting x = 3 2 into 2x - 3 + x + 1 = 9. 3

Exponential Equations
An exponential equation involves an unknown index or power e.g. 2 x = 8. We can also solve other equations involving indices. In order to solve these, you need to understand their relationship. For example, squares and square roots are the reverse of each other (we call them inverse operations). Similarly cubes and cube roots are inverses, and this extends to all indices. To solve equations, use inverse operations: For squares, take the square root For cubes, take the cube root For square roots, take the square For cube roots, take the cube You have previously used these rules when substituting into formulae involving squares and cubes.

Investigate equations of the type x n = k where k is a constant, for example, x n = 9. Look at these questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. What is the solution when n = 0? What is the solution when n = 1? How many solutions are there when n = 2? How many solutions are there when n = 3? How many solutions are there when n is even? How many solutions are there when n is odd?
In other types of equations, the pronumeral (or unknown variable) is in the index. We call these exponential equations, and we use the fact that if the base numbers are equal, then the powers (or indices or exponents) must be equal.

Quadratic Equations
A quadratic equation is an equation involving a square. For example, x 2 - 4 = 0.
Solving by factorisation
When solving quadratic equations by factorising, we use a property of zero.
EXAMPLES

Quadratic Inequations
Solving quadratic inequations is similar to solving quadratic equations, but you need to do this in two stages. The rst is to solve the equation and then the second step is to look at either the number line or the number plane for the inequality.
To solve a quadratic inequation: 1. Factorise and solve the quadratic equation 2. Test values in the inequality
In Chapter 9 you will look at how to use the number plane to solve these quadratic inequations. Here are some examples of solving quadratic inequations using the number line.
EXAMPLES
Solve 1. x 2 + x - 6 2 0
Solution
First solve x + x - 6 = 0 (x - 2 ) (x + 3 ) = 0 ` x = 2 or -3

Choose a number between - 3 and 2, say x = 0. Substitute x = 0 into the inequation. x2 + x - 6 2 0 02 + 0 - 6 2 0 -6 2 0 So the solution is not between -3 and 2. ` the solution lies either side of -3 and 2.

Simultaneous Equations
Two equations, each with two unknown pronumerals, can be solved together to nd one solution that satises both equations. There are different ways of solving simultaneous equations. The elimination method adds or subtracts the equations. The substitution method substitutes one equation into the other.
Linear equations
These equations can be solved by either method. Many students prefer the elimination method.

INTRODUCTION
GEOMETRY IS USED IN many areas, including surveying, building and graphics.
These elds all require a knowledge of angles, parallel lines and so on, and how to measure them. In this chapter, you will study angles, parallel lines, triangles, types of quadrilaterals and general polygons. Many exercises in this chapter on geometry need you to prove something or give reasons for your answers. The solutions to geometry proofs only give one method, but other methods are also acceptable.

Types of Triangles
Names of triangles
A scalene triangle has no two sides or angles equal.
The side opposite the right angle (the longest side) is called the hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides. The angles (called the base angles) opposite the equal sides in an isosceles triangle are equal.

Similar Triangles
Triangles, for example ABC and XYZ, are similar if they are the same shape but different sizes. As in the example, all three pairs of corresponding angles are equal. All three pairs of corresponding sides are in proportion (in the same ratio).

We write: D ABC < ; D XYZ D XYZ is three times larger than D ABC. 6 XY = =3 AB 2 XZ 12 = =3 4 AC 15 YZ = =3 5 BC XY XZ YZ ` = = AB AC BC

Pythagoras Theorem
DID YOU KNOW?
The triangle with sides in the proportion 3:4:5 was known to be right angled as far back as ancient Egyptian times. Egyptian surveyors used to measure right angles by stretching out a rope with knots tied in it at regular intervals. They used the rope for forming right angles while building and dividing fields into rectangular plots. It was Pythagoras (572495 BC) who actually discovered the relationship between the sides of the right-angled triangle. He was able to generalise the rule to all right-angled triangles. Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician, philosopher and mystic. He founded the Pythagorean School, where mathematics, science and philosophy were studied. The school developed a brotherhood and performed secret rituals. He and his followers believed that the whole universe was based on numbers. Pythagoras was murdered when he was 77, and the brotherhood was disbanded.
The square on the hypotenuse in any right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. That is, c2 = a2 + b2 or c= a2 + b2
168
Proof
Draw CD perpendicular to AB Let AD = x, DB = y Then x + y = c In D ADC and D ABC, +A is common +ADC = +ACB = 90c D ADC < ; D ABC (equal corresponding +s) AC AD = AB AC x b c =b b 2 = xc D BDC < ; D ABC Similarly, BC DB = AB BC y a a= c a 2 = yc Now a 2 + b 2 = yc + xc = c ^y + xh = c ]c g = c2 If c 2 = a 2 + b 2, then D ABC must be right angled `

The sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon is given by S = 180n - 360 or S = (n - 2) # 180c
Proof
Draw any n-sided polygon and divide it into n triangles as shown. Then the total sum of angles is n # 180c or 180n. But this sum includes all the angles at O. So the sum of interior angles is 180n - 360c . That is, S = 180n - 360 = ] n - 2 g #180c
Proof
Draw any n-sided polygon. Then the sum of both the exterior and interior angles is n #180c. Sum of exterior angles = n #180c - sum of interior angles = 180n - ] 180n - 360c g = 180n - 180n + 360c = 360c

Let n be the number of sides Then the sum of interior angles is 140n But S = (n - 2)#180c So 140n = (n - 2)#180c = 180n - 360 360 = 40n 9=n So the polygon has 9 sides.

Functions and Graphs
TERMINOLOGY
Arc of a curve: Part or a section of a curve between two points Asymptote: A line towards which a curve approaches but never touches Cartesian coordinates: Named after Descartes. A system of locating points (x, y) on a number plane. Point (x, y) has Cartesian coordinates x and y Curve: Another word for arc. When a function consists of all values of x on an interval, the graph of y = f ] x g is called a curve y = f ] x g Dependent variable: A variable is a symbol that can represent any value in a set of values. A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends on the value chosen for the independent variable Direct relationship: Occurs when one variable varies directly with another i.e. as one variable increases, so does the other or as one variable decreases so does the other Discrete: Separate values of a variable rather than a continuum. The values are distinct and unrelated Domain: The set of possible values of x in a given domain for which a function is defined Even function: An even function has line symmetry (reflection) about the y-axis, and f ] - x g = - f ] x g Function: For each value of the independent variable x, there is exactly one value of y, the dependent variable. A vertical line test can be used to determine if a relationship is a function Independent variable: A variable is independent if it may be chosen freely within the domain of the function Odd function: An odd function has rotational symmetry about the origin (0, 0) and where f ] - x g = - f ] x g Ordered pair: A pair of variables, one independent and one dependent, that together make up a single point in the number plane, usually written in the form (x, y) Ordinates: The vertical or y coordinates of a point are called ordinates Range: The set of real numbers that the dependent variable y can take over the domain (sometimes called the image of the function) Vertical line test: A vertical line will only cut the graph of a function in at most one point. If the vertical line cuts the graph in more than one point, it is not a function
201
INTRODUCTION
FUNCTIONS AND THEIR GRAPHS are used in many areas, such as mathematics, science and economics. In this chapter you will study functions, function notation and how to sketch graphs. Some of these graphs will be studied in more detail in later chapters.
Functions
Denition of a function
Many examples of functions exist both in mathematics and in real life. These occur when we compare two different quantities. These quantities are called variables since they vary or take on different values according to some pattern. We put these two variables into a grouping called an ordered pair.
202
EXAMPLES
1. Eye colour
Name
Anne
Marco Green
Russell Brown
Trang Brown
Colour Blue
Ordered pairs are (Anne, Blue), (Jacquie, Brown), (Donna, Grey), (Hien, Brown), (Marco, Green), (Russell, Brown) and (Trang, Brown). 2. y = x + 1 x y 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5
The ordered pairs are (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4) and (4, 5). 3.
A B C 3 D E 4 1 2
The ordered pairs are (A, 1), (B, 1), (C, 4), (D, 3) and (E, 2).
Notice that in all the examples, there was only one ordered pair for each variable. For example, it would not make sense for Anne to have both blue and brown eyes! (Although in rare cases some people have one eye thats a different colour from the other.) A relation is a set of ordered points (x, y) where the variables x and y are related according to some rule. A function is a special type of relation. It is like a machine where for every INPUT there is only one OUTPUT.
INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT
The rst variable (INPUT) is called the independent variable and the second (OUTPUT) the dependent variable. The process is a rule or pattern.
203
For example, in y = x + 1, we can use any number for x (the independent variable), say x = 3. When x = 3 y=3+1 =4 As this value of y depends on the number we choose for x, y is called the dependent variable.
A function is a relationship between two variables where for every independent variable, there is only one dependent variable. This means that for every x value, there is only one y value.
While we often call the independent variable x and the dependent variable y, there are other pronumerals we could use. You will meet some of these in this course.
Investigation
When we graph functions in mathematics, the independent variable (usually the x-value) is on the horizontal axis while the dependent variable (usually the y-value) is on the vertical axis. In other areas, the dependent variable goes on the horizontal axis. Find out in which subjects this happens at school by surveying teachers or students in different subjects. Research different types of graphs on the Internet to nd some examples.
Here is an example of a relationship that is NOT a function. Can you see the difference between this example and the previous ones?
A B C 3 D E 4
1 2
In this example the ordered pairs are (A, 1), (A, 2), (B, 1), (C, 4), (D, 3) and (E, 2). Notice that A has two dependent variables, 1 and 2. This means that it is NOT a function.
204
2.
There is a very simple test to see if these graphs are functions. Notice that in the rst example, there are two values of y when x = 0. The y-axis passes through both these points.
y
205
There are also other x values that give two y values around the curve. If we drew a vertical line anywhere along the curve, it would cross the curve in two places everywhere except one point. Can you see where this is? In the second graph, a vertical line would only ever cross the curve in one place. So when a vertical line cuts a graph in more than one place, it shows that it is not a function.
If a vertical line cuts a graph only once anywhere along the graph, the graph is a function.
y
If a vertical line cuts a graph in more than one place anywhere along the graph, the graph is not a function.
y
206
EXAMPLES
1. Is this graph a function?
Solution
You will learn how to sketch these graphs later in this chapter.
A vertical line only cuts the graph once. So the graph is a function. 2. Is this circle a function?
Solution
A vertical line can cut the curve in more than one place. So the circle is not a function.
207
Solution
For each x value there is only one y value, so this set of ordered pairs is a function. 4. Is this a function?
y
Solution
y
Although it looks like this is not a function, the open circle at x = 3 on the top line means that x = 3 is not included, while the closed circle on the bottom line means that x = 3 is included on this line. So a vertical line only touches the graph once at x = 3. The graph is a function.

Function notation
If y depends on what value we give x in a function, then we can say that y is a function of x. We can write this as y = f ] x g.
EXAMPLES
1. Find the value of y when x = 3 in the equation y = x + 1.
Solution
When x = 3: y = x +1 = 3+1 =4 2. If f ] x g = x + 1, evaluate f (3).
Solution
f ]x g = x + 1 f ]3 g = 3 + 1 =4
Notice that these two examples are asking for the same value and f (3) is the value of the function when x = 3.
210
EXAMPLES
1. If f ] x g = x 2 + 3x + 1, nd f ] - 2 g .
Solution
This is the same as finding y when x = - 2.
Solution
f (x) = x 3 - x 2 f (- 1) = ] - 1 g 3 - ] - 1 g 2 = -1 - 1 = -2 3. Find the values of x for which f ] x g = 0, given that f ] x g = x 2 + 3x - 10.
Solution
f (x) = 0
Putting f (x) = 0 is different from finding f (0) . Follow this example carefully.
i.e.
x + 3x - 10 = 0 ( x + 5 ) ( x - 2) = 0 x + 5 = 0, x-2=0 x = -5 x=2
2
Solution
f (3 ) = 3 ( 3) + 4 = 13 f (2 ) = 3 ( 2) + 4 = 10 f (0) = - 2 (0) =0 f (- 4) = - 2 ( - 4) =8 5. Find the value of x2 g ] x g = * 2x - 1 5 since since since 3$2 2$2 012

Graphing Techniques
You may have previously learned how to draw graphs by completing a table of values and then plotting points. In this course, you will learn some other techniques that will allow you to sketch graphs by showing their important features.
Intercepts
One of the most useful techniques is to nd the x- and y-intercepts.
213
EXAMPLE
Find the x- and y-intercepts of the function f ] x g = x 2 + 7x - 8.
Solution
For x-intercept: y = 0 0 = x 2 + 7x - 8 = ]x + 8 g]x - 1 g x + 8 = 0, x-1=0 x = - 8, x=1 For y-intercept: x = 0 y = ] 0 g2 + 7 ] 0 g - 8 = -8
You will use the intercepts to draw graphs in the next section in this chapter.
The set of all real numbers x for which a function is dened is called the domain. The set of real values for y or f (x) as x varies is called the range (or image) of f.
EXAMPLE
Find the domain and range of f ] x g = x 2 .
Solution
You can see the domain and range from the graph, which is the parabola y = x 2 .
y
CONTINUED
214
Notice that the parabola curves outwards gradually, and will take on any real value for x. However, it is always on or above the x-axis. Domain: {all real x} Range: {y: y $ 0} You can also nd the domain and range from the equation y = x 2. Notice that you can substitute any value for x and you will nd a value of y. However, all the y-values are positive or zero since squaring any number will give a positive answer (except zero).
If a curve is decreasing, then as x increases, y decreases and the curve moves downwards from left to right.
215
EXAMPLES
1. State the domain over which each curve is increasing and decreasing.
y
x1
x2
x3
Solution
The left-hand side of the parabola is decreasing and the right side is increasing. So the curve is increasing for x 2 x2 and the curve is decreasing when x 1 x2. 2.
y
The curve isnt increasing or decreasing at x2. We say that it is stationary at that point. You will study stationary points and further curve sketching in the HSC Course.
x1
x2
x3
Solution
The left-hand side of the curve is increasing until it reaches the y-axis (where x = 0). It then turns around and decreases until x3 and then increases again. So the curve is increasing for x 1 0, x 2 x 3 and the curve is decreasing for 0 1 x 1 x 3 .
216
As well as looking at where the curve is increasing and decreasing, we can see if the curve is symmetrical in some way. You have already seen that the parabola is symmetrical in earlier stages of mathematics and you have learned how to nd the axis of symmetry. Other types of graphs can also be symmetrical. Functions are even if they are symmetrical about the y-axis. They have line symmetry (reection) about the y-axis. This is an even function:
y
For even functions, f ] x g = f ] - x g for all values of x. Functions are odd if they have point symmetry about the origin. A graph rotated 180 about the origin gives the original graph. This is an odd function:
y
217
EXAMPLES
1. Show that f ] x g = x 2 + 3 is an even function.
Solution
f ] - x g = ] - x g2 + 3 = x2 + 3 = f ]x g ` f ] x g = x 2 + 3 is an even function 2. Show that f ] x g = x 3 - x is an odd function.
Solution
f ] - x g = ] - x g3 - ] - x g = -x3 + x = - ^ x3 - x h = -f ]x g ` f ] x g = x 3 - x is an odd function
Investigation
Explore the family of graphs of f ] x g = x n. For what values of n is the function even? For what values of n is the function odd? Which families of functions are still even or odd given k? Let k take on different values, both positive and negative. 1. f ] x g = kx n 2. f ] x g = x n + k 3. f ] x g = ] x + k gn
k is called a parameter. Some graphics calculators and computer programs use parameters to show how changing values of k change the shape of graphs.

3. Sketch the families of graphs for these graphs with parameter k. (a) y = x + k (b) y = ] x + k g2 (c) y = ] x + k g3 (d) y = ] x + k g4 1 (e) y = x+k What effect does the parameter k have on these graphs? Could you give a general comment about y = f ] x + k g?
When k 2 0 , the graph moves to the left and when k 1 0 , the graph moves to the right.
For the family of functions y = k f ] x g, as k varies, the function changes its slope or steepness. For the family of functions y = f ] x g + k, as k varies, the graph moves up or down (vertical translation). For the family of functions y = f ] x + k g, as k varies, the graph moves left or right (horizontal translation). Notice that the shape of most graphs is generally the same regardless of the parameter k. For example, the parabola still has the same shape even though it may be narrower or wider or upside down. This means that if you know the shape of a graph by looking at its equation, you can sketch it easily by using some of the graphing techniques in this chapter rather than a time-consuming table of values. It also helps you to understand graphs more and makes it easier to nd the domain and range. You have already sketched some of these graphs in previous years.
Linear Function
A linear function is a function whose graph is a straight line.
Investigation
Are straight line graphs always functions? Can you nd an example of a straight line that is not a function? Are there any odd or even straight lines? What are their equations?

Sketch the families of graphs for these graphs with parameter k 1. y = kx 2. y = x + k 3. y = mx + b where m and b are both parameters What effect do the parameters m and b have on these graphs?
EXAMPLE

Notice that the line extends over the whole of the number plane, so that it covers all real numbers for both the domain and range. Domain: {all real x} Range: {all real y}
Notice too, that you can substitute any real number into the equation of the function for x, and any real number is possible for y.
The linear function ax + by + c = 0 has domain {all real x} and range {all real y} where a and b are non-zero
Special lines
Horizontal and vertical lines have special equations.

Quadratic Function
The quadratic function gives the graph of a parabola.
Applications
The parabola shape is used in many different applications as it has special properties that are very useful. For example if a light is placed inside the parabola at a special place (called the focus), then all light rays coming from this light and bouncing off the parabola shape will radiate out parallel to each other, giving a strong light. This is how car headlights work. Satellite dishes also use this property of the parabola, as sound coming in to the dish will bounce back to the focus.
225
The lens in a camera and glasses are also parabola shaped. Some bridges look like they are shaped like a parabola, but they are often based on the catenary. Research the parabola and catenary on the Internet for further information.
Investigation
Is the parabola always a function? Can you nd an example of a parabola that is not a function? Use a graphics calculator or a computer with dynamic graphing capability to explore the effect of a parameter on a quadratic function, or choose different values of k (both positive and negative).

Solution
This is a quadratic function. We nd the intercepts to see where the parabola will lie. Alternatively, you may know from your work on parameters that f ] x g = ] x + a g 2 will move the function f ] x g = x 2 horizontally a units to the left. So f ] x g = ] x + 1 g 2 moves the parabola f ] x g = x 2 1 unit to the left. For x-intercept: y = 0 0 = ]x + 1 g2 x+1=0 x = -1 For y-intercept: x = 0 y = ]0 + 1 g2 =1

3. For the quadratic function f ] x g = x 2 + x - 6 (a) Find the x- and y-intercepts (b) Find the minimum value of the function (c) State the domain and range (d) For what values of x is the curve decreasing?
Solution
(a) For x-intercept: y = 0 This means f ] x g = 0 0 = x2 + x - 6 = ]x + 3 g]x - 2 g x + 3 = 0, x - 2 = 0 x = - 3, x = 2 For y-intercept: x = 0 f ] 0 g = ] 0 g2 + ] 0 g - 6 = -6 (b) Since a 2 0, the quadratic function has a minimum value. Since the parabola is symmetrical, this will lie halfway between the x-intercepts. Halfway between x = - 3 and x = 2: -3 + 2 1 =2 2 1 Minimum value is f c - m 2 1 1 2 1 f c- m = c- m + c- m - 6 2 2 2 1 1 = - -6 4 2 1 = -6 4 1 So the minimum value is - 6 . 4

From the graph, notice that the parabola is gradually going outwards and will include all real x values. Since the minimum value is - 6 1 , all y values are greater than this. 4 Domain: " all real x , 1 Range: ' y: y $ -6 1 4 (d) The curve decreases down to the minimum point and then 1 increases. So the curve is decreasing for all x 1 - . 2 4. (a) Find the x- and y-intercepts and the maximum value of the quadratic function f ] x g = - x 2 + 4x + 5. (b) Sketch the function and state the domain and range. (c) For what values of x is the curve increasing?
Solution
(a) For x-intercept: y = 0 So f ]x g = 0 0 = - x 2 + 4x + 5 x 2 - 4x - 5 = 0 ]x - 5 g]x + 1 g = 0 x - 5 = 0, x + 1 = 0 x = 5, x = -1 For y-intercept: x = 0 f ] 0 g = - ] 0 g2 + 4 ] 0 g + 5 =5
229
Since a 1 0, the quadratic function is concave downwards and has a maximum value halfway between the x-intercepts x = - 1 and x = 5. -1 + 5 =2 2 f ]2 g = -]2 g 2+ 4 ]2 g + 5 =9 So the maximum value is 9. (b) Sketching the quadratic function gives a concave downward parabola.

The Hyperbola
a A hyperbola is a function with its equation in the form xy = a or y = x .
EXAMPLE
1 Sketch y = x .
Solution
1 y = x is a discontinuous curve since the function is undened at x = 0. Drawing up a table of values gives:

Class Discussion
What happens to the graph as x becomes closer to 0? What happens as x becomes very large in both positive and negative directions? The value of y is never 0. Why?
239
To sketch the graph of a more general hyperbola, we can use the domain and range to help nd the asymptotes (lines towards which the curve approaches but never touches). The hyperbola is an example of a discontinuous graph, since it has a gap in it and is in two separate parts.
Investigation
Is the hyperbola always a function? Can you nd an example of a hyperbola that is not a function? Are there any families of odd or even hyperbolas? What are their equations? Use a graphics calculator or a computer with dynamic graphing capability to explore the effect of a parameter on a hyperbola, or choose different values of k (both positive and negative). Sketch the families of graphs for these graphs with parameter k k 1. y = x 1 2. y = x + k 3. y = 1 x+k
EXAMPLES
1. (a) Find the domain and range of f ] x g = 3 . x-3 (b) Hence sketch the graph of the function.
Solution
This is the equation of a hyperbola. To nd the domain, we notice that x - 3 ! 0. So x ! 3 Also y cannot be zero (see example on page 238). Domain: {all real x: x ! 3} Range: {all real y: y ! 0} The lines x = 3 and y = 0 (the x-axis) are called asymptotes.
CONTINUED The denominator cannot be zero.

2. Sketch y = -
1 . 2x + 4
Solution
This is the equation of a hyperbola. The negative sign turns the hyperbola around so that it will be in the opposite quadrants. If you are not sure where it will be, you can nd two or three points on the curve. To nd the domain, we notice that 2x + 4 ! 0. 2x ! - 4 x ! -2 For the range, y can never be zero. Domain: {all real x: x ! -2} Range: {all real y: y ! 0} So there are asymptotes at x = -2 and y = 0 (the x-axis). To make the graph more accurate we can nd the y-intercept. For y-intercept, x = 0 y=1 2 ( 0) + 4 1 =4

] x - ] - 2 g g2 + ^ y 1 h2 = 3 2 ] x + 2 g2 + ^ y 1 h2 = 9
Remove the grouping symbols. ] a + b g2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 So ] x + 2 g2 = x 2 + 2 ] x g ] 2 g + 2 2 = x 2 + 4x + 4 2 ] a b g = a 2 - 2ab + b 2 So ^ y 1 h2 = y 2 - 2 ^ y h ] 1 g + 1 2 = y 2 - 2y + 1 The equation of the circle is: x 2 + 4x + 4 + y - 2y + 1 = 9 x 2 + 4 x + y - 2y + 5 = 9 x 2 + 4 x + y 2y + 5 - 9 = 9 - 9 x 2 + 4x + y - 2y - 4 = 0

Investigation
The circle is not a function. Could you break the circle up into two functions? Change the subject of this equation to y. What do you notice when you change the subject to y? Do you get two functions? What are their domains and ranges? If you have a graphics calculator, how could you draw the graph of a circle?
By rearranging the equation of a circle, we can also nd the equations of semi-circles. The equation of the semi-circle above the x-axis with centre (0, 0) and radius r is y = r 2 - x 2 The equation of the semi-circle below the x-axis with centre (0, 0) and radius r is y = - r 2 - x 2
Proof
x2 + y2 = r2 y2 = r2 x2 y = ! r2 - x2 This gives two functions:
y = r 2 - x 2 is the semi-circle above the x-axis since its range is y $ 0 for all values.
y
-r
248
y = - r 2 - x 2 is the semi-circle above the x-axis since its range is y # 0 for all values.

Other Graphs
There are many other different types of graphs. We will look at some of these graphs and explore their domain and range.
You will meet these graphs again in the HSC Course.
Solution
If you do not know what this graph looks like, draw up a table of values. You may need to revise the indices that you studied in Chapter 1. e.g. When x = 0: y = 3c =1 When x = -1: y = 3-1 1 = 1 3 1 = 3 x y -3 1 27 -2 1 9 -1 1 3 0 1 1 3 2 9 3 27
If you already know what the shape of the graph is, you can draw it just using 2 or 3 points to make it more accurate.
251
This is an exponential function with y-intercept 1. We can nd one other point. When x = 1 y = 31 =3
y
3 2 1 1 x
From the graph, x can be any real value (the equation shows this as well since any x value substituted into the equation will give a value for y). From the graph, y is always positive, which can be conrmed by substituting different values of x into the equation. Domain: " all real x , Range: " y: y 2 0 , 2. Sketch f ] x g = log x and state the domain and range.
Solution
Use the LOG key on your calculator to complete the table of values. Notice that you cant nd the log of 0 or a negative number. x y 2 # 1 #

From the graph and by trying different values on the calculator, y can be any real number while x is always positive. Domain: ! x: x 2 0 + Range: " all real y ,
252
The exponential function y = a x has domain {all real x} and range {y: y 2 0} The logarithmic function y = log a x has domain ! x: x 2 0 + and range {all real y}
Cubic function
A cubic function has an equation where the highest power of x is x 3 .
EXAMPLE
1. Sketch the function f ] x g = x 3 + 2 and state its domain and range.

If you already know the shape of y = x 3, f (x) = x 3 + 2 has the same shape as f (x) = x 3 but it is translated 2 units up (this gives a y-intercept of 2).
-3 -4 -5
The function can have any real x or y value: Domain: " all real x , Range: " all real y ,
253
EXAMPLE
1. Find the range of f ] x g = x 3 + 2 over the given domain of -1 # x # 4.
Solution
The graph of f ] x g = x 3 + 2 is the cubic function in the previous example. From the graph, the range is {all real y}. However, with a restricted domain of -1 # x # 4 we need to see where the endpoints of this function are. f ] -1 g = ] -1 g3 + 2 = -1 + 2 =1 f ] 4 g = ] 4 g3 + 2 = 64 + 2 = 66 Sketching the graph, we can see that the values of y all lie between these points.
y (4, 66)
(-1, 1) x
Range: " y: 1 # y # 66 ,
254
You may not know what a function looks like on a graph, but you can still nd its domain and range by looking at its equation. When nding the domain, we look for values of x that are impossible. For example, with the hyperbola you have already seen that the denominator of a fraction cannot be zero. For the range, we look for the results when different values of x are substituted into the equation. For example, x2 will always give zero or a positive number.
EXAMPLE
Find the domain and range of f ] x g = x - 4.
Solution
We can only nd the square root of a positive number or zero. So x 4 $ 0 x$4 When you take the square root of a number, the answer is always positive (or zero). So y $ 0 Domain: ! x: x $ 4 + Range: " y: y $ 0 ,

Continuity
Many functions are continuous. That is, they have a smooth, unbroken curve (or line). However, there are some discontinuous functions that have gaps in their graphs. The hyperbola is an example. If a curve is discontinuous at a certain point, we can use limits to nd the value that the curve approaches at that point.

Regions
Class Investigation
How many solutions are there for y $ x + 2? How would you record them all?
Inequalities can be shown as regions in the Cartesian plane. You can shade regions on a number plane that involve either linear or non-linear graphs. This means that we can have regions bounded by a circle or a parabola, or any of the other graphs you have drawn in this chapter. Regions can be bounded or unbounded. A bounded region means that the line or curve is included in the region.
EXAMPLE
Sketch the region x # 3.
Solution
Remember that x = 3 is a vertical line with x-intercept 3.
x # 3 includes both x = 3 and x 1 3 in the region. Sketch x = 3 as an unbroken or lled in line, as it will be included in the region. Shade in all points where x 1 3 as shown.
y 5 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 x=3 1 2 3 4 x
261
An unbounded region means that the line or curve is not included in the region.
EXAMPLE
Sketch the region y 2 -1.
Solution
y 2 -1 doesnt include y = -1. When this happens, it is an unbounded region and we draw the line y = -1 as a broken line to show it is not included. Sketch y = -1 as a broken line and shade in all points where y 2 -1 as shown.
y 5 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 y = -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 x
For lines that are not horizontal or vertical, or for curves, we need to check a point to see if it lies in the region.
262
EXAMPLES
Find the region dened by 1. y $ x + 2
Solution
First sketch y = x + 2 as an unbroken line. On one side of the line, y 2 x + 2 and on the other side, y 1 x + 2. To nd which side gives y 2 x + 2, test a point on one side of the line (not on the line). For example, choose ^ 0, 0 h and substitute into y$x+2 0$0+2 0$2 (false) This means that ^ 0, 0 h does not lie in the region y $ x + 2. The region is on the other side of the line.
Any point in the region will make the inequality true. Test one to see this.
2. 2x - 3y 1 6
Solution
First sketch 2x - 3y = 6 as a broken line, as it is not included in the region. To nd which side of the line gives 2x - 3y 1 6, test a point on one side of the line. For example, choose ^ 0, 1 h and substitute into 2x - 3y 1 6 2 ] 0 g - 3 (1 ) 1 6 -3 1 6 (true)
263
2x - 3y = 6
3. x 2 + y 2 2 1
Solution
The equation x 2 + y 2 = 1 is a circle, radius 1 and centre ^ 0, 0 h . Draw x 2 + y 2 = 1 as a broken line, since the region does not include the curve. Choose a point inside the circle, say ^ 0, 0 h x2 + y2 2 1 02 + 02 2 1 0 2 1 (false) So the region lies outside the circle.
4. y $ x 2
Solution
The equation y = x 2 is a parabola. Sketch this as an unbroken line, as it is included in the region.
CONTINUED
264
Choose a point inside the parabola, say ^ 1, 3 h. y $ x2 3 2 12 3 2 1 (true) So ^ 1, 3 h lies in the region.
y = x2
Sometimes a region includes two or more inequalities. When this happens, sketch each region on the number plane, and the nal region is where they overlap (intersect).
EXAMPLE
Sketch the region x # 4, y 2 -2 and y # x 2 .
Solution
Draw the three regions, either separately or on the same set of axes, and see where they overlap.
265
If you are given a region, you should also be able to describe it algebraically.
EXAMPLES
Describe each region. 1.
6 5 4 3 2 1 -4 -3 -2 -1 -1 -2 -3 -4 1 2 3 4 x
Solution
The shaded area is below and including y = 6 so can be described as y # 6. It is also to the left of, but not including the line x = 4, which can be described as x 1 4. The region is the intersection of these two regions: y # 6 and x 1 4
CONTINUED
266

Solution
The shaded area is the interior of the circle, centre (0, 0) and radius 2 but it does not include the circle. The equation of the circle is x 2 + y 2 = 2 2 or x 2 + y 2 = 4. You may know (or guess) the inequality for the inside of the circle. If you are unsure, choose a point inside the circle and substitute into the equation e.g. (0, 0). LHS = x 2 + y 2 = 02 + 02 =0 1 4 ] RHS g So the region is x 2 + y 2 1 4.

Application
Regions are used in business applications to find optimum profit. Two (or more) equations are graphed together, and the region where a profit is made is shaded. The optimum profit occurs at the endpoints (or vertices) of the region.
EXAMPLE
A company makes both roller skates (X ) and ice skates (Y ). Roller skates make a $25 profit, while ice skates make a profit of $21. Each pair of roller skates spends 2 hours on machine A (available 12 hours per day) and 2 hours on machine B (available 8 hours per day). Each pair of ice skates spends 3 hours on machine A and 1 hour on machine B. How many skates of each type should be made each day to give the greatest profit while making the most efficient use of the machines?
269
SOLUTION
Profit P = $25 X + $21Y Machine A: 2X + 3Y # 12 Machine B: 2X + Y # 8 Sketch the regions and find the point of intersection of the lines.
The shaded area shows all possible ways of making a profit. Optimum profit occurs at one of the endpoints of the regions. (0, 4): P = $25 ] 0 g + $21 ] 4 g = $84 (4, 0): P = $25 ] 4 g + $21 ] 0 g = $100 (3, 2): P = $25 ] 3 g + $21 ] 2 g = $117
^ 3, 2 h gives the greatest profit, so 3 pairs of roller skates and 2 pairs of ice
skates each day gives optimum profit.

INTRODUCTION
TRIGONOMETRY IS USED IN many elds, such as building, surveying and navigating. Wave theory also uses trigonometry. This chapter revises basic right-angled triangle problems and applies them to real-life situations. Some properties of trigonometric ratios, angles greater than 90c and trigonometric equations are introduced. You will also study trigonometry in non-right-angled triangles.
Trigonometric Ratios
In similar triangles, pairs of corresponding angles are equal and sides are in proportion. For example:
In any triangle containing an angle of 30c, the ratio of AB:AC = 1:2. Similarly, the ratios of other corresponding sides will be equal. These ratios of sides form the basis of the trigonometric ratios. In order to refer to these ratios, we name the sides in relation to the angle being studied:
the hypotenuse is the longest side, and is always opposite the right angle the opposite side is opposite the angle marked in the triangle the adjacent side is next to the angle marked
276
The opposite and adjacent sides vary according to where the angle is marked. For example:

What do you notice about their signs? Can you see any patterns? Could you write down any rules for the sign of sin, cos and tan for different angle sizes? 3. Draw the graphs of y = sin x, y = cos x and y = tan x for 0c # x # 360c. For y = tan x, you may need to nd the ratios of angle close to and either side of 90c and 270c. 280c 290c 300c 310c 320c 330c 340c 350c 360c 190c 200c 210c 220c 230c 240c 250c 260c 270c
Drawing the graphs of the trigonometric ratios can help us to see the change in signs as angles increase. We divide the domain 0c to 360c into 4 quadrants: 1st quadrant: 0c to 90c 2nd quadrant: 90c to 180c 3rd quadrant: 180c to 270c 4th quadrant: 270c to 360c

Neither tan 90c nor tan 270c exists (we say that they are undened). Find the tan of angles close to these angles, for example tan 89c 59l and l, tan 279c 59l and tan 270c 01 l. tan 90c 01 There are asymptotes at 90c and 270c. On the left of 90c and 270c, tan x is positive and on the right, the ratio is negative.

y = tan x
The graph is above the x-axis in the 1st quadrant, below for the 2nd, above for the 3rd and below for the 4th quadrant. This means that tan x is positive in the 1st and 3rd quadrants and negative in the 2nd and 4th quadrants.
To show why these ratios have different signs in different quadrants, we look at angles around a unit circle (a circle with radius 1 unit). We use congruent triangles when nding angles of any magnitude. Page 310 shows an example of congruent triangles all with angles of 20c inside a circle with radius 1 unit.
310
If we divide the circle into 4 quadrants, we notice that the x- and y-values have different signs in different quadrants. This is crucial to notice when looking at angles of any magnitude and explains the different signs you get when nding sin, cos and tan for angles greater than 90c.
Quadrant 1
Looking at the rst quadrant (see diagram below), notice that x and y are both positive and that angle i is turning anticlockwise from the x-axis.
y First quadrant
The angle at the x-axis is 0 and the angle at the y-axis is 90c, with all other angles in this quadrant between these two angles.

Point (x, y) forms a triangle with sides 1, x and y, so we can nd the trigonometric ratios for angle i.

cos i =
y tan i = x
Investigation
Since cos i = x and sin i = y, we can write the point (x, y) as (cos i, sin i). The polar coordinates (cos i, sin i) give a circle. The polar coordinates 6 A sin ] ai + c g, B sin ] bi g @ form a shape called a Lissajous gure. These are sometimes called a Bowditch curve and they are often used as logos, for example the ABC logo. Use the Internet to research these and other similar shapes. Use a graphics calculator or a computer program such as Autograph to draw other graphs with polar coordinates using variations of sin i and cos i.
These are called polar coordinates.
Quadrant 2
In the second quadrant, angles are between 90c and 180c. If we take the 1st quadrant coordinates (x, y), where x 2 0 and y 2 0 and put them in the 2nd quadrant, we notice that all x values are negative in the second quadrant and y values are positive. So the point in the 2nd quadrant will be (-x, y)
y 90c Second quadrant (-x, y) y 180c 1 unit i 180c- i 0c x
312
Since cos i = x, cos i will negative in the 2nd quadrant. Since sin i = y , sin i will be positive in the 2nd quadrant. y tan i = x so it will be negative (a positive number divided by a negative number). To have an angle of i in the triangle, the angle around the circle is 180c - i.

In the third quadrant, angles are between 180c and 270c.

Notice that x and y are both negative in the third quadrant, so cos i and sin i will be both negative. y tan i = x so will be positive (a negative divided by a negative number). To have an angle of i in the triangle, the angle around the circle is 180c + i.

In the fourth quadrant, angles are between 270c and 360c.

While y remains negative in the fourth quadrant, x is positive again, so sin i is negative and cos i is positive. y tan i = x so will be negative (a negative divided by a positive number) For an angle i in the triangle, the angle around the circle is 360c - i.
ASTC rule
Putting all of these results together gives a rule for all four quadrants that we usually call the ASTC rule.

A: ALL ratios are positive in the 1st quadrant S: Sin is positive in the 2nd quadrant (cos and tan are negative) T: Tan is positive in the 3rd quadrant (sin and cos are negative) C: Cos is positive in the 4th quadrant (sin and tan are negative) This rule also works for the reciprocal trigonometric ratios. For example, where cos is positive, sec is also positive, where sin is positive, so is cosec and where tan is positive, so is cot. We can summarise the ASTC rules for all 4 quadrants:
314
Second quadrant: Angle 180c - i: sin ] 180c - i g = sin i cos ] 180c - i g = - cos i tan ] 180c - i g = - tan i Third quadrant: Angle 180c + i: sin ] 180c + i g = - sin i cos ] 180c + i g = - cos i tan ] 180c + i g = tan i Fourth quadrant: Angle 360c - i: sin ] 360c - i g = - sin i cos ] 360c - i g = cos i tan ] 360c - i g = - tan i
EXAMPLES
1. Find all quadrants where (a) sin i 2 0 (b) cos i 1 0 (c) tan i 1 0 and cos i 2 0
Solution
(a) sin i 2 0 means sin i is positive. Using the ASTC rule, sin i is positive in the 1st and 2nd quadrants. (b) cos i is positive in the 1st and 4th quadrants, so cos i is negative in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants. (c) tan i is positive in the 1st and 3rd quadrants so tan i is negative in the 2nd and 4th quadrants. Also cos i is positive in the 1st and 4th quadrants. So tan i 1 0 and cos i 2 0 in the 4th quadrant.

Solution
sin x 1 0 in the 3rd and 4th quadrants and cos x 2 0 in the 1st and 4th quadrants. So sin x 1 0 and cos x 2 0 in the 4th quadrant. This means that tan x 1 0 and sec x 2 0. sin x = opposite hypotenuse

Trigonometric Equations
This is called the principle solution.
Whenever you nd an unknown angle in a triangle, you solve a trigonometric equation e.g. cos x = 0.34. You can nd this on your calculator. Now that we know how to nd the trigonometric ratios of angles of any magnitude, there can be more than one solution to a trigonometric equation if we look at a larger domain.

Sin is positive in the 1st and 2nd quadrants. First time around the circle, 1st quadrant is i and the 2nd quadrant is 180c - i. Second time around the circle, we add 360c to the angles. So 1st quadrant answer is 360c + i and the 2nd quadrant answer is 360c + ] 180c - i g or 540c - i. So 2x = 30c , 180c - 30c, 360c + 30c , 540c - 30c = 30c , 150c , 390c , 510c ` x = 15c , 75c , 195c , 255c

In this section you will learn some other identities, based on the unit circle. In the work on angles of any magnitude, we dened sin i as the y-coordinate of P and cos i as the x-coordinate of P.

Pythagorean identities
The circle has equation x 2 + y 2 = 1. Substituting x = cos i and y = sin i into x 2 + y 2 = 1 gives
Remeber that cos 2 i means (cos i) 2.
cos 2 i + sin 2 i = 1
This is an equation so can be rearranged to give sin 2 i = 1 - cos 2 i cos 2 i = 1 - sin 2 i There are two other identities that can be derived from this identity.
1 + tan 2 i = sec 2 i
Chapter 6 Trigonometry
329
Proof
cos 2 i + sin 2 i = 1 cos 2 i sin 2 i 1 + = cos 2 i cos 2 i cos 2 i 1 + tan 2 i = sec 2 i This identity can be rearranged to give tan 2 i = sec 2 i - 1 1 = sec 2 i - tan 2 i cot 2 i + 1 = cosec 2 i
Proof
cos 2 i + sin 2 i = 1 cos 2 i sin 2 i 1 + = 2 2 sin i sin i sin 2 i 2 cot i + 1 = cosec 2 i This identity can be rearranged to give cot 2 i = cosec 2 i - 1 1 = cosec 2 i - cot 2 i
These are called Pythagorean identities since the equation of the circle comes from Pythagoras rule (see Chapter 5).

Since sin x is positive in the rst 2 quadrants, both acute angles (between 0c and 90c ) and obtuse angles (between 90c and 180c ) give positive sin ratios. e.g. sin 50c = 0.766 and sin 130c = 0.766 This affects the sine rule, since there is no way of distinguishing between an acute angle and an obtuse angle. When doing a question involving an obtuse angle, we need to use the 2nd quadrant angle of 180c - i rather than relying on the calculator to give the correct answer.

Angle i is obtuse. Find the value of i, in degrees and minutes.

INTRODUCTION
IN CHAPTER 5, YOU STUDIED functions and their graphs. This chapter looks at the linear function, or straight-line graph, in more detail. Here you will study the gradient and equation of a straight line, the intersection of two or more lines, parallel and perpendicular lines, the midpoint, distance and the perpendicular distance from a point to a line.

Gradient
The gradient of a straight line measures its slope. The gradient compares the vertical rise with the horizontal run.
361
On the number plane, this is a measure of the rate of change of y with respect to x.
The rate of change of y with respect to x is a very important measure of their relationship. In later chapters you will use the gradient for many purposes, including sketching curves, nding the velocity and acceleration of objects, and nding maximum and minimum values of formulae.

7x = -14 x = -2 Substitute x = -2 into ^ 1 h: 3 ^ -2 h - y + 1 = 0 -y - 5 = 0 -5 = y So the point of intersection of (1) and (2) is ^ -2, -5 h . Substitute ^ -2, -5 h into (3): 4x - 3y - 7 = 0 LHS = 4 ^ -2 h - 3 ^ - 5 h - 7 = -8 + 15 - 7 =0 = RHS So the point lies on line (3) ` all three lines are concurrent.

Using the formula: a 1 = 2, b 1 = 1, c 1 = -5 a 2 = 1, b 2 = -3, c 2 = 1
^ a1 x + b1 y + c1 h + k ^ a2 x + b2 y + c2 h = 0 ^ 2x + y - 5 h + k ^ x - 3y + 1 h = 0 Since this line passes through ^ -1, 2 h, substitute the point into the equation: ^ -2 + 2 - 5 h + k ^ -1 - 6 + 1 h = 0 -5 - 6k = 0 -5 = 6k 5 - =k 6 So the equation becomes: 5 ^ 2x + y - 5 h - ^ x - 3y + 1 h = 0 6 6 ^ 2x + y - 5 h - 5 ^ x - 3 y + 1 h = 0 12x + 6y - 30 - 5x + 15y - 5 = 0 7x + 21y - 35 = 0 x + 3y - 5 = 0 Another way to do this example is to nd the point of intersection, then use both points to nd the equation.

Perpendicular Distance
The distance formula d = _ x 2 - x 1 i2 + _ y 2 - y 1 i2 is used to nd the distance between two points. Perpendicular distance is used to nd the distance between a point and a line. If we look at the distance between a point and a line, there could be many distances.
given by d =
| ax 1 + by 1 + c | a2 + b2
Proof
385
- ax 1 - c
b ax 1 + by 1 + c b
Why?
All points on one side of the line ax + by + c = 0 make the numerator of this formula positive. Points on the other side make the numerator negative. Usually we take the absolute value of d. However, if we want to know if points are on the same side of a line or not, we look at the sign of d.
EXAMPLES

| 12 + 12 - 1 |
Solution
There are three possibilities for the intersection of a circle and a straight line.
The centre of the circle x 2 + y 2 = 4 is ^ 0, 0 h and its radius is 2 units. A tangent is perpendicular to the centre of the circle. So we prove that the perpendicular distance from the line to the point ^ 0, 0 h is 2 units (the radius). | ax 1 + by 1 + c | d= a2 + b2 | 6 (0) + 8 (0) + 20 | = 62 + 82 | 20 | = 100 20 = 10 =2 ` the line is a tangent to the circle. 3. Show that the points ^ -1, 3 h and ^ 2, 7 h lie on the same side of the line 2 x - 3 y + 4 = 0.
387
Solution
To show that points lie on the same side of a line, their perpendicular distance must have the same sign. We use the formula without the absolute value sign. d= ax 1 + by 1 + c a2 + b2
Since the perpendicular distance for both points has the same sign, the points lie on the same side of the line.

INTRODUCTION
CALCULUS IS A VERY IMPORTANT part of mathematics and involves the
measurement of change. It can be applied to many areas such as science, economics, engineering, astronomy, Crude Oil Production (Mbbl/d) sociology and medicine. We also see articles Iran 7,000 in newspapers every day that involve change: the spread of infectious diseases, population 6,000 growth, ination, unemployment, lling of 5,000 our water reservoirs. For example, this graph shows the 4,000 change in crude oil production in Iran over 3,000 the years. Notice that while the graph shows that production is increasing over recent 2,000 years, the rate at which it is being produced 1,000 seems to be slowing down. Calculus is used to look at these trends and predict what will 0 73 75 77 79 81 83 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99 01 03 05 07 happen in the future. 74 76 78 80 82 84 86 88 90 92 94 96 98 00 02 04 06 There are two main branches of January 1973May 2007 calculus. Differentiation is used to calculate the rate at which two variables change in relation to one another. You will learn about Anti-differentiation, or integration, is the inverse of differentiation and integration in the uses information about rates of change to go back and examine the original HSC Course. variables. Integration can also be used to nd areas of curved objects.

In this chapter you will learn about differentiation, which measures the rate of change of one variable with respect to another.
Gradient
Gradient of a straight line
The gradient of a straight line measures its slope. You studied gradient in the last chapter. rise m = run
Class Discussion
Remember that an increasing line has a positive gradient and a decreasing line has a negative gradient.
positive
negative
Notice also that a horizontal line has zero gradient. Can you see why?
Gradient plays an important part, not just in mathematics, but in many areas including science, business, medicine and engineering. It is used everywhere we want to nd rates. On a graph, the gradient measures the rate of change of the dependent variable with respect to the change in the independent variable.
395
EXAMPLES
1. The graph shows the average distance travelled by a car over time. Find the gradient and describe it as a rate.
d
400
km
5 Hours
Solution
The line is increasing so it will have a positive gradient. rise m = run 400 = 5 80 = 1 = 80 This means that the car is travelling at the rate of 80 km/hour. 2. The graph shows the number of cases of u reported in a town over several weeks.
N
15 Number of cases (100s)
Weeks
10
396
Solution
The line is decreasing so it will have a negative gradient. rise m = run 1500 =10 150 =1 = - 150 This means that the rate is -150 cases/week, or the number of cases reported is decreasing by 150 cases/week.
When nding the gradient of a straight line in the number plane, we think of a change in y values as x changes. The gradients in the examples above show rates of change. However, in most examples in real life, the rate of change will vary. For example, a car would speed up and slow down depending on where it is in relation to other cars, trafc light signals and changing speed limits.
Gradient of a curve
Class Discussion
The two graphs show the distance that a bicycle travels over time. One is a straight line and the other is a curve.
d d
20 15 km 10 5 t km
20 15 10 5 t 1 2 3 Hours 4
3 Hours
Is the average speed of the bicycle the same in both cases? What is different about the speed in the two graphs? How could you measure the speed in the second graph at any one time? Does it change? If so, how does it change?
397
Here is a more general curve. What could you say about its gradient? How does it change along the curve?
y
Copy the graph and mark on it where the gradient is positive, negative and zero.
Using what we know about the gradient of a straight line, we can see where the gradient of a curve is positive, negative or zero by drawing tangents to the curve in different places around the curve.
y
+ x
Notice that when the curve increases it has a positive gradient, when it decreases it has a negative gradient and when it turns around the gradient is zero.
Investigation
There are some excellent computer programs that will draw tangents to a curve and then sketch the gradient curve. One of these is Geometer Sketchpad. Explore how to sketch gradient functions using this or a similar program as you look at the examples below.
398
EXAMPLES
Describe the gradient of each curve. 1.
Solution
Where the curve increases, the gradient is positive. Where it decreases, it is negative. Where it turns around, it has a zero gradient.
2.
Solution
399
Since we have a formula for nding the gradient of a straight line, we nd the gradient of a curve by measuring the gradient of a tangent to the curve.
EXAMPLE
(a) Make an accurate sketch of y = x 2 on graph paper. (b) Draw tangents to this curve at the points where x = - 3, x = - 2, x = - 1, x = 0, x = 1, x = 2 and x = 3. (c) Find the gradient of each of these tangents. (d) Draw the graph of the gradients (the gradient function) on a number plane.
Solution

There are computer programs that will draw these tangents.
(c) At x = - 3, m = - 6 At x = - 2, m = - 4 At x = - 1, m = - 2 At x = 0, m = 0 At x = 1, m = 2 At x = 2, m = 4 At x = 3, m = 6 (d)
400
Drawing tangents to a curve is difcult. We can do a rough sketch of the gradient function of a curve without knowing the actual values of the gradients of the tangents. To do this, notice in the example above that where m is positive, the gradient function is above the x-axis, where m = 0, the gradient function is on the x-axis and where m is negative, the gradient function is below the x-axis.
EXAMPLES
Sketch the gradient function of each curve. 1.
Solution
First we mark in where the gradient is positive, negative and zero.
Now on the gradient graph, place the points where m = 0 on the x-axis. These are at x 1, x 2 and x 3 .
401
To the left of x 1, the gradient is negative, so this part of the graph will be below the x-axis. Between x 1 and x 2, the gradient is positive, so the graph will be above the x-axis. Between x 2 and x 3, the gradient is negative, so the graph will be below the x-axis. To the right of x 3, the gradient is positive, so this part of the graph will be above the x-axis.
2.
Solution
First mark in where the gradient is positive, negative and zero.
CONTINUED
402
The gradient is zero at x 1 and x 2 . These points will be on the x-axis. To the left of x 1, the gradient is positive, so this part of the graph will be above the x-axis. Between x 1 and x 2, the gradient is negative, so the graph will be below the x-axis. To the right of x 2, the gradient is positive, so this part of the graph will be above the x-axis.

Differentiability
A function is called a differentiable function if the gradient of the tangent can be found. There are some graphs that are not differentiable in places. Most functions are continuous, which means that they have a smooth unbroken line or curve. However, some have a gap, or discontinuity, in the graph (e.g. hyperbola). This can be shown by an asymptote or a hole in the graph. We cannot nd the gradient of a tangent to the curve at a point that doesnt exist! So the function is not differentiable at the point of discontinuity.
y
This function is not differentiable at a since the curve is discontinuous at this point.
404
A function may be continuous but not smooth. It may have a sharp corner. Can you see why curves are not differentiable at the point where there is a corner?
y
The curve is not differentiable at point c since it is not smooth at that point.
A function y = f (x) is differentiable at the point x = a if the derivative exists at that point. This can only happen if the function is continuous and smooth at x = a.
405
EXAMPLES
1. Find all points where the function below is not differentiable.

Solution
The function is not differentiable at points A and B since there are sharp corners and the curve is not smooth at these points. It is not differentiable at point C since the function is discontinuous at this point. x2 3x - 2 for x $ 1 differentiable at all points? for x 1 1
Solution
The functions f (x) = x 2 and f (x) = 3x - 2 are both differentiable at all points. However, we need to look at where one nishes and the other starts, at f (1). For f (x) = x 2 f ] 1 g = 12 =1 For f (x) = 3x - 2 f ]1 g = 3 ]1 g - 2 =1 This means that both pieces of this function join up (the function is continuous). However, to be differentiable, the curve must be smooth at this point.

Sketching this function shows that it is not smooth (it has a sharp corner) so it is not differentiable at x = 1.

Limits
To differentiate from rst principles, we need to look more closely at the concept of a limit. A limit is used when we want to move as close as we can to something. Often this is to nd out where a function is near a gap or discontinuous point. You saw this in Chapter 5 when looking at discontinuous graphs. In this topic, it is used when we want to move from a gradient of a line between two points to a gradient of a tangent.

Differentiation as a limit
y2 - y1 The formula m = x - x is used to nd the gradient of a straight line when we 2 1 know two points on the line. However, when the line is a tangent to a curve, we only know one point on the linethe point of contact with the curve. To differentiate from rst principles, we rst use the point of contact and another point close to it on the curve (this line is called a secant) and then we move the second point closer and closer to the point of contact until they overlap and the line is at single point (the tangent). To do this, we use a limit. If you look at a close up of a graph, you can get some idea of this concept. When the curve is magnied, two points appear to be joined by a straight line. We say the curve is locally straight.
Investigation
Use a graphics calculator or a computer program to sketch a curve and then zoom in on a section of the curve to see that it is locally straight. For example, here is a parabola.
10 y

f 1(x) = x2 2
x 20

2.99
f 1(x) = x2
Use technology to sketch other curves and zoom in to show that they are locally straight.
410
Before using limits to nd different formulae for differentiating from rst principles, here are some examples of how we can calculate an approximate value for the gradient of the tangent to a curve. By taking two points close together, as in the example below, we nd the gradient of the secant and then estimate the gradient of the tangent.

EXAMPLES
1. For the function f ] x g = x 3, nd the gradient of the secant PQ where P is the point on the function where x = 2 and Q is another point on the curve close to P. Choose different values for Q and use these results to estimate the gradient of the curve at P.

(a) B = ^ 4.9, f (4.9) h y2 - y1 m= x -x 2 1 f ( 4 . 9 ) - f (5 ) = 4 .9 - 5 4 .9 2 - 5 2 = 4 .9 - 5 = 9 .9 (b) B = ^ 5.1, f (5.1) h y2 - y1 m= x -x 2 1 f ( 5 . 1 ) - f (5 ) = 5 .1 - 5 5 .1 2 - 5 2 = 5 .1 - 5 = 10.1 (c) B = ^ 5.01, f (5.01) h y2 - y1 m= x -x 2 1 f (5.01) - f (5) = 5.01 - 5 5.01 2 - 5 2 = 5.01 - 5 = 10.01 From these results, a good estimate for the gradient at A is 10.

We can nd a general formula for differentiating from rst principles by using c rather than any particular number. We use general points P ^ c, f (c) h and Q ^ x, f (x) h where x is close to c. The gradient of the secant PQ is given by y2 - y1 m= x -x 2 1 f (x) - f (c) = x-c
413
The gradient of the tangent at P is found when x approaches c. We call this f l (c) . f (x) - f (c) x-c
There are other versions of this formula. We can call the points P ^ x, f (x) h and Q ^ x + h, f (x + h) h where h is small.

Investigation
Differentiate from rst principles: y = x2 y = x3 y = x4 Can you nd a pattern? Could you predict what the result would be for xn? Alternatively, you could nd an approximation to the derivative of a f (x + 0.01) - f (x) function at any point by drawing the graph of y = . 0.01 Use a graphics calculator or graphing computer software to sketch the derivative for these functions and nd the equation of the derivative.
Mathematicians working with differentiation from rst principles discovered this pattern that enabled them to shorten differentiation considerably! For example: When y = x 2, yl = 2x When y = x 3, yl = 3x 2 When y = x 4, yl = 4x 3

There are some more rules that give us short ways to differentiate functions. The rst one says that if there is a constant in front of the x (we call this a coefcient), then it is just multiplied with the derivative.
d ^ nh kx = knx n - 1 dx

Proof
kf (x + h) - kf (x) d ^ kf (x) h = lim 0 h " dx h k [f (x + h) - f (x)] = lim h "0 h f (x + h) - f (x) = k lim h "0 h = kf l(x)

However, a tangent to a curve could intersect the curve more than once.
So a tangent to a curve is best described as the limiting position of the secant PQ as Q approaches P.

INTRODUCTION
THE SOLUTION OF QUADRATIC equations is important in many elds,
such as engineering, architecture and astronomy. In this chapter you will study quadratic equations in detail, and look at the relationship between quadratic equations and the graphs of quadratic functions (the parabola). You will study the axis of symmetry and maximum and minimum values of the quadratic function. You will also look at the quadratic formula in detail, and at the relationships between the roots (solutions) of quadratic equations, the formula and the quadratic function.
Solution
(a) For the y-intercept, x = 0 i.e. y = 0 2 - 4 (0) =0 For the x-intercept, y = 0 i.e. 0 = x 2 - 4x = x (x - 4) ` x = 0 or x - 4 = 0 x=4

(b) The axis of symmetry has equation x = 2. (c) Since the parabola is symmetrical about the line x = 2, the minimum value is on this line. Substitute x = 2 into the equation of the parabola i.e. y = 2 2 - 4 (2) = -4 So the minimum value is - 4.
Class Investigation
1. How would you nd the axis of symmetry for a graph with no x-intercepts?
2. How would you nd the axis of symmetry of a graph where the x-intercepts are irrational numbers?
The axis of symmetry of the quadratic function y = ax 2 + bx + c has the equation b x=2a
453
Proof
The axis of symmetry lies midway between the x-intercepts. For the x-intercepts, y = 0 i.e. ax 2 + bx + c = 0 x= - b ! b 2 - 4ac 2a
The x-coordinate of the axis of symmetry is the average of the x-intercepts. - b - b 2 - 4ac - b + b 2 - 4ac + 2a 2a x= 2 - 2b 2a = 2 - 2b = 4a b =2a
i.e.
The parabola has a minimum value if a 2 0. The shape of the parabola is concave upwards.

1. Solve the following quadratic equations using the quadratic formula (a) x 2 - 3x + 2 = 0 (b) x 2 + 4x - 7 = 0 (c) x 2 + x + 5 = 0 (d) x 2 - 6x + 9 = 0 2. Without solving a quadratic equation, can you predict how many roots it has by looking at the quadratic formula?
b 2 - 4ac , the expression b 2 - 4ac is called 2a the discriminant. It gives us information about the roots of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + x = 0. In the quadratic formula x =
-b !

EXAMPLES
Use the quadratic formula to nd how many real roots each quadratic equation has. 1. x 2 + 5x - 3 = 0
Solution
- b ! b 2 - 4ac 2a - 5 ! 5 2 - 4 #1# - 3 = 2 #1 - 5 ! 25 + 12 = 2 - 5 ! 37 = 2 There are 2 real roots: x= x= - 5 + 37 - 5 - 37 , 2 2
2. x 2 - x + 4 = 0
Solution
x= - b ! b 2 - 4ac 2a - (-1) ! (-1) 2 - 4 #1# 4 = 2 #1 1 ! -15 = 2 -15 has no real value.
Solution
x= - b ! b 2 - 4ac 2a - (- 2) ! (- 2) 2 - 4 #1#1 = 2 #1 2! 0 = 2

Notice that when there are 2 real roots, the discriminant b 2 - 4ac 2 0. When there are 2 equal roots (or just 1 real root), b 2 - 4ac = 0. When there are no real roots, b 2 - 4ac 1 0. We often use D = b 2 - 4ac.

We can examine the roots of the quadratic equation by using the discriminant rather than the whole quadratic formula.
EXAMPLES
1. Show that the equation 2x 2 + x + 4 = 0 has no real roots.
Solution

It is too hard to tell from the graph if the line is a tangent, so we solve simultaneous equations to nd any points of intersection. y = x2 4x + y + 4 = 0 Substitute (1) into (2): 4x + x 2 + 4 = 0 x 2 + 4x + 4 = 0 We dont need to nd the roots of the equation as the question only asks how many roots there are. We nd the discriminant. D = b 2 - 4ac = 42 - 4 ] 1 g ] 4 g = 16 - 16 =0 ` the equation has 1 real root (equal roots) so there is only one point of intersection. So the line is a tangent to the parabola.

Quadratic Identities
When you use the quadratic formula to solve an equation, you compare a quadratic, say, 3x 2 - 2x + 5 = 0 with the general quadratic ax 2 + bx + c = 0.
469
You are assuming when you do this that 3x 2 - 2x + 5 and ax 2 + bx + c are equivalent expressions. We can state this as a general rule: If two quadratic expressions are equivalent to each other then the corresponding coefcients must be equal.
Proof
If a 1 x 2 + b 1 x + c 1 = a 2 x 2 + b 2 x + c 2 for more than two values of x, then (a 1 - a 2) x 2 + (b 1 - b 2) x + (c 1 - c 2) = 0. That is, a 1 = a 2, b 1 = b 2 and c 1 = c 2 .

It shows a method of nding the equation of a locus. In particular, you will study the circle and the parabola, dened as a locus.
Circle
Locus
A relation can be described in two different ways. It can be a set of points that obey certain conditions, or a single point that moves along a path according to certain conditions. A locus is the term used to describe the path of a single moving point that obeys certain conditions.

EXAMPLES
Describe the locus of the following. 1. A pencil on the end of compasses.
Solution
The path of the pencil is a circle with centre at the point of the compasses.
Solution
The body travels along a straight line parallel to the escalator.

Parabola as a Locus
The locus of a point that is equidistant from a xed point and a xed line is always a parabola. The xed point is called the focus and the xed line is called the directrix.
Work on the parabola as a locus is very important, as the properties of the parabola are useful to us. The parabola is used in lenses of glasses and cameras, in car headlights, and for bridges and radio telescope dishes.
498
The locus of a point that is equidistant from a xed point and a xed line is always in the shape of a parabola. If the xed point is (0, a) and the xed line is y = - a (where a 2 0), then one of the equidistant points is the origin (0, 0). The distance between the points (0, 0) and (0, a) is a units. The point on y = - a directly below the origin is ^ 0, - a h and the distance from (0, 0) to ^ 0, - a h is also a units.
y
(0, a) a x a (0, - a) y =- a
To nd the equation of the parabola, we use the general process to nd the equation of any locus. The features of the parabola have special names.
A parabola is equidistant from a xed point and a xed line. The xed point is called the focus. The xed line is called the directrix. The turning point of the parabola is called the vertex. The axis of symmetry of the parabola is called its axis. The distance between the vertex and the focus is called the focal length. An interval joining any two points on the parabola is called a chord. A chord that passes through the focus is called a focal chord. The focal chord that is perpendicular to the axis is called the latus rectum. A tangent is a straight line that touches the parabola at a single point.

y x2 = 20y (0, 5) 5 x 5 (0, -5) y = -5
501
Method 2: The focus is in the form (0, a) where a = 5. So the focus is (0, 5). The directrix is in the form y = - a where a = 5. So the directrix is y = - 5. (b) The latus rectum is a focal chord that is perpendicular to the axis of the parabola as shown
y x2 = 20 y
(0, 5) x
The endpoints of the latus rectum will be where the line y = 5 and the parabola intersect. Substitute y = 5 into the parabola. x 2 = 20y = 20 ] 5 g = 100 x = ! 100 = !10 So the endpoints are (-10, 5) and (10, 5).
y x2 = 20 y
(-10, 5)
(0, 5)
(10, 5) x
The latus rectum is 4a units long which gives 20 units.

3. Find the equation of the focal chord to the parabola x 2 = 4y that passes through (- 4, 4).
Solution
The parabola x 2 = 4y is in the form x 2 = 4ay. 4a = 4 `a=1 The focal length is 1 unit. The focus is 1 unit up from the origin at (0, 1) and the focal chord also passes through (- 4, 4).
y (- 4, 4) x2 = 4y
(0, 1) x
We can nd the equation of the line between (0, 1) and (- 4, 4) by using either formula y - y1 y2 - y1 y - y 1 = m _ x - x 1 i or x - x = x - x 1 2 1 y - y1 y2 - y1 x - x1 = x2 - x1 y -1 4 -1 = x-0 -4 - 0 y -1 3 x = -4 - 4 ^ y - 1 h = 3x - 4y + 4 = 3x 0 = 3x + 4y - 4

EXAMPLES
1. Find the equation of the parabola with focus ^ 0, - 4 h and directrix y = 4.

The focal length is 4 so a = 4. The parabola is in the form x 2 = - 4ay where a = 4. x 2 = - 4ay = -4]4gy = - 16y 2. Find the coordinates of the vertex, the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix of the parabola x 2 = - 12y.
Solution
The parabola x 2 = -12y is in the form x 2 = - 4ay. 4a = 12 `a=3 The focal length is 3 units. The vertex is (0, 0). We can nd the coordinates of the focus and the equation of the directrix in two ways. Method 1: Draw the graph x 2 = -12y and count 3 units up and down from the origin as shown. (The parabola is concave downward.)
505
Counting down 3 units, the focus is ^ 0, - 3 h . Counting up 3 units, the directrix has equation y = 3. Method 2: The focus is in the form ^ 0, - a h where a = 3. So the focus is ^ 0, - 3 h . The directrix is in the form y = a where a = 3. So the directrix is y = 3. 3. Find the equation of the parabola with focal length 5 and whose vertex is ^ 0, 0 h and equation of the axis is x = 0.
Solution
Vertex ^ 0, 0 h and axis given by x = 0 give a parabola in the form x 2 = !4ay, since there is not enough information to tell whether it is concave upwards or downwards. This gives two possible parabolas.

Proof
Find the equation of the parabola that turns to the left with vertex (h, k) and focal length a.
Counting a units to the left from the vertex V gives the focus F = ^ h - a, k h. Counting a units to the right from the vertex V gives the point on the directrix D = ^ h + a, k h. So the equation of the directrix is given by x = h + a. We nd the equation of the locus of P(x, y) that is equidistant from point F ^ h - a, k h and line x = h + a.
