GOAL: The student will be able to understand what a real number is, recognize the order of operations
(PEMDAS), solve operations involving powers, roots and logarithms and their properties and apply mental
strategies to solve real-life situations.

Learning Objectives: Understand the difference between rational and irrational numbers.
Use positive, negative and zero indices, and the index laws for multiplication and division.
Understand the standard form for representing large and small numbers.
Use knowledge of square and cube roots to estimate surds.

7. Evaluate the following:

8. a) In the table below, d is directly proportional to c. Complete the table.

b) Find a formula for d in terms of c.

9. Solve the following word problems:

a) The weight of a piece of wire is directly proportional to its length. A piece of wire is 25 cm long
and has a weight of 6 grams. Another piece of the same wire is 30 cm long. Calculate the
weight of the 30 cm piece of wire.
b) A ball falls vertically after being dropped. The ball falls a distance d meters in a time of t
seconds. d is directly proportional to the square of t. The ball falls 20 meters in a time of 2
seconds. Find a formula for d in terms of t. Calculate the distance the ball falls in 3 seconds.
 c) The time, T seconds, it takes a water heater to boil some water is directly proportional to the
mass of water, m kg, in the water heater. When m = 250, T = 600. Find T when m = 400.
d) D is proportional to S2 , if D = 900 when S = 20. Calculate the value of D when S = 25.
e) In a spring, the tension (T newtons) is directly proportional to its extension (x cm).

f) When the tension is 150 newtons, the extension is 6 cm. (a) Find a formula for T in terms of x

10. Solve:

b)

c) At a farm, it takes 10 days for 20 ducks to eat the food that’s left out for them. How much time
would it take for 40 ducks to eat the same food?

d) It takes 12 days for 3 painters to paint a house. How long will it take for 9 painters to do the same
job?

11. Write a tick to choose if there are direct proportional magnitude (DP) or inverse proportionality
(IP) or there isn´t proportionality relation (x) between the following pair of magnitudes.
