Repeated % This is not the correct method: 12000 x 0.065 = 780 780 x 5 = 3900 12000 + 3900 = £15900 e.g. A building society gives 6.5% interest p.a. on all money invested there. If John pays in £12000, how much will he have in his account at the end of 5 years. He will have = 12000 x (1.065)5 = £16441.04 This is not the correct method: 40000 x 0.23 = 9200 9200 x 4 = 36800 40000 – 36800 = $3200 e.g. A car loses value at a rate of approximately 23% each year. Estimate how much a $40000 car be worth in four years ? The car’s new value = 40000 x (0.77)4 = $14061 (nearest $)

Their factors are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 and 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 Their highest common factor is 10 Expressing 2 numbers as a product of primes can help you calculate their Highest common factor HCF e.g. Find the highest common factor of 84 and 120. 84 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 Pick out all the bits that are common to both. 120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 Highest common factor = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 Expressing 2 numbers as a product of primes can also help you calculate their Lowest common multiple LCM Consider the numbers 16 and 20. Their multiples are: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96 and 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 Their lowest common multiple is 80 LCM e.g. Find the lowest common multiple of 300 and 504. Pick out the highest valued index for each prime factor . 300 = 22 x 3 x 52 504 = 23 x 32 x 7 Lowest common multiple = 23 x 32 x 52 x 7 = 12600

How much does each receive? Basil gets 7 of 600 = £350 12 Claire gets 3 of 600 = £150 12

  20. Fractions with the four rules + – × ÷ Learn these steps to complete all fractions questions: • Always convert mixed fractions into top heavy fractions before you start • When adding or subtracting the “bottoms” need to be made the same • When multiplying two fractions, multiply the “tops” together and the “bottoms” together to get your final fraction • When dividing one fraction by another, turn the second fraction on its head and then treat it as a multiplication

  22. A journey of 37 km measured to the nearest km could actually be as long as 37.49999999…. km or as short as 36.5 km. It could not be 37.5 as this would round up to 38 but the lower and upper bounds for this measurement are 36.5 and 37.5 defined by: 36.5 < Actual distance < 37.5 Upper and lower bounds 320 7cm e.g. Write down the Upper and lower bounds of each of these values given to the accuracy stated: 9m (1s.f.) 8.5 to 9.5 2.40m (2d.p.) 2.395 to 2.405 85g (2s.f.) 84.5 to 85.5 4000L (2s.f.) 3950 to 4050 180 weeks (2s.f.) 175 to 185 60g (nearest g) 59.5 to 60.5 e.g. A sector of a circle of radius 7cm makes an angle of 320 at the centre. Find its minimum possible area if all measurements are given to the nearest unit. ( = 3.14) Area = (/360) x  x r x r Minimum area = (31.5/360) x 3.14 x 6.5 x 6.5 Minimum area = 11.61cm2

  23. e.g. This line has been measured as 9.6cm (to 1d.p.). Calculate the maximum potential error for this measurement. If a measurement has been rounded off then it is not accurate. There is a an error between the measurement stated and the actual measurement. % error The exam question that occurs most often is: “Calculate the maximum percentage error between the rounded off measurement and the actual measurement”. Upper and lower bounds of 9.6 cm (1d.p.)  9.55 to 9.65 Maximum potential difference (MPD) between actual and rounded off measurements  0.05 Max. pot. % error = (MPD/lower bound) x 100 = (0.05/9.55) x 100 = 0.52%

  24. Simplifying roots Tip: Always look for square numbered factors (4, 9, 16, 25, 36 etc) e.g. Simplify the following into the form a b 20 4 x 5 2 5 8 4 x 2 2 2 45 9 x 5 3 5 72 36 x 2 6 2 700 100 x 7 10 7

  25. Calculate the length of side x in surd form (non-calculator paper): 14 x 6 Surds A surd is the name given to a number which has been left in the form of a root. So 5 has been left in surd form. SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS WITH SURDS IN A surd or a combination of surds can be simplified using the rules: M x N = MN and visa versa M ÷ N = M/N and visa versa Tips: Deal with a surd as you would an algebraic term and always look for square numbers 12 4 x 3 2 3 135 ÷ 3 45 9 x 5 3 5 5(5 + 20) 5 + 100 15 (3 – 1)2 (3 – 1) (3 – 1) 3 – 3 – 3 + 1 4 – 23 LEAVING ANSWERS IN SURD FORM Pythagoras  (14)2 = (6)2 + x2 14 = 6 + x2 x = 8 Answer: x = 22

  26. 52 16  3 20 3 3 20 53  Rational and irrational numbers Rational numbers can be expressed in the form a/b. Terminating decimals (3.17 or 0.022) and recurring decimals (0.3333..or 4.7676..) are rational. Irrational numbers cannot be made into fractions. Non-terminating and non-recurring decimals (3.4526473… or or 2) are irrational. State whether the following are rational or irrational numbers: 1/5 2.3/5.7 2.7 What do you need to do to make the following irrational numbers into rational numbers: 6 2

  27. Recurring decimals as fractions Learn this technique which changes recurring decimals into fractions: Express 0.77777777….. as a fraction. Let n = 0.77777777….. so 10n = 7.77777777….. so 9n = 7 so n = 7/9 Express 2.34343434….. as a fraction. Let n = 2.34343434….. so 100n = 234.34343434….. so 99n = 232 so n = 232/99 Express 0.413213213….. as a fraction. Let n = 0.4132132132….. so 10000n =4132.132132132….. and 10n = 4.132132132…… so 9990n = 4128 so n = 4128/9990 n = 688/1665

  28. Direct proportion If one variable is in direct proportion to another (sometimes called direct variation) their relationship is described by: p  t Where the “Alpha” can be replaced by an “Equals” and a constant “k” to give : p =kt e.g. y is directly proportional to the square of r. If r is 4 when y is 80, find the value of r when y is 2.45 . Write out the variation: y  r2 Possible direct variation questions: Change into a formula: y = kr2 Sub. to work out k: 80 = k x 42 g  u3 g = ku3 k = 5 c  i c = ki So: y = 5r2 s  3v s = k3v And: 2.45 = 5r2 t  h2 t = kh2 r = 0.7 x  p x = kp Working out r:

  29. Inverse proportion If one variable is inversely proportion to another (sometimes called inverse variation) their relationship is described by: p  1/t Again “Alpha” can be replaced by a constant “k” to give : p =k/t e.g. y is inversely proportional to the square root of r. If r is 9 when y is 10, find the value of r when y is 7.5 . Write out the variation: y  1/r Possible inverse variation questions: Change into a formula: y = k/r Sub. to work out k: 10 = k/9 g1/u3 g = k/u3 k = 30 c  1/i c = k/i So: y = 30/r s  1/3v s = k/3v And: 7.5 = 30/r t  1/h2 t = k/h2 r = 16 (not 2) x  1/p x = k/p Working out r:

  30. y y = x2 + x – 6 x -3 2 Graphical solutions to equations If an equation equals 0 then its solutions lie at the points where the graph of the equation crosses the x-axis. e.g. Solve the following equation graphically: x2 + x – 6 = 0 All you do is plot the equation y = x2 + x – 6 and find where it crosses the x-axis (the line y=0) There are two solutions to x2 + x – 6 = 0 x = - 3 and x =2

  31. y = 9 – x y y = x2 – 2x – 11 x -4 5 Graphical solutions to equations If the equation does not equal zero : Draw the graphs for both sides of the equation and where they cross is where the solutions lie e.g. Solve the following equation graphically: x2 – 2x – 11 = 9 – x Plot the following equations and find where they cross: y = x2 – 2x – 20 y = 9 – x There are 2 solutions to x2 – 2x – 11 = 9 – x x = - 4 and x = 5

  32. e.g. Solve the following equation using the graph that is given: x3 – 4x + 5 = 5x + 5 y y = x3 – 8x + 7 x If there is already a graph drawn and you are being asked to solve an equation using it, you must rearrange the equation until one side is the same as the equation of the graph. Then plot the other side of the equation to find the crossing points and solutions.

  33. y y = x3 – 8x + 7 -3 y = x + 7 x 0 3 Rearranging the equation x3 – 4x + 5 = 5x + 5 to get x3 – 8x + 7 : x3 – 4x + 5 = 5x + 5 Add 2 to both sides x3 – 4x + 7 = 5x + 7 Take 4x from both sides x3 – 8x + 7 = x + 7 So we plot the equation y = x + 7 onto the graph to find the solutions Solutions lie at –3, 0 and 3

  34. State the graphs you need to plot to solve the • following equations describing how you will find • your solutions: • 3x2 + 4x – 2 = 0 • 7x + 4 = x2 – 4x • x4 + 5 = 0 • 0 = 8x2 – 5x • 2x = 9 • 6x3 = 2x2 + 5 • If you have got the graph of y= 4x2 + 5x – 6 work • out the other graph you need to draw to solve each • of the following equations: • 4x2 + 4x – 6 = 0 • 4x2 + x - 2 = 7 • 4x2 – 3x = 2x • 3x2 = – 5 Solve this equation graphically: x3 + 8x2 + 3x = 2x2 – 2x
