EQUATION EDITOR AND ON SCREEN CALCULATOR PRACTICE

Set the clock of your laptop to August 31, 2016. Then, open the
familiarization package. Key in the following log in details to fully
access the software.
School Code:

Use the Equation Editor ( found on Activity 3 of the
familiarisation package) and Onscreen calculator to answer
the following:
1.

2.

Given points P and Q with coordinates (2,3) and (-12, 5)

respectively.
(i)

Type out the formula to find distance between two

points on the Equation Editor Panel.
Hence, show full working to find the distance
between points P and Q.

(ii)

Type out the formula to find midpoint between two

points on the Equation Editor Panel.
Hence, show full working to find the coordinates of
midpoint between points P and Q.

(iii)

Type out the formula to find gradient between two

points on the Equation Editor Panel.
Hence, show full working to find the gradient
between points P and Q.

Find the value of :

(i)

sin (300) in both fractions and decimals

(ii)

sin2 (300) + cos2 (300)

(iii)

sin

-1

( 0.5 ) in degrees .

Hence, convert the answer to radians.

3.

Find the value of

and decimals.

3cos 600 +

1
2

sin 300 in both fraction

4. Find the value of x in each Pythagorean triple below where x

is the hypotenuse.
Show full working.
(i)

8, 15 , x

(ii)

5, 24 , x

(iii)

, x

5. Given a set of data 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4 , 5

Type out the formula to find the mean of the data.
Hence, show full working to find the mean

6.

Evaluate

1+

1
1+2

1
1+ 2

using the onscreen

calculator.
Copy the working to the equation editor panel.

7. Convert these statements into inequalities :

(i)

X is more than 5

(ii)

Y is less than 3

(iii)

Total of X and Y is at least 10

(iv)
