It is interesting to wonder ,vhether J.B. Fitzpatrick ('Bernie') realised in 1983 just how popular
his book New Senior Mathematics would be. That first edition of Ne1v Senior Mathematics was
to remain in print for ahnost 30 years. It has stood the test of time thanks to the quality, rigour
and variety of its questions, its accuracy and its high n1athen1atical standards.
As Fitzpatrick wrote in 1983: 'Mathen1atics, like 1nany other things, is best learnt by doing.
A student begins to appreciate the po,ver of n1athen1atics when he or she has achieved
a 1nastery of basic techniques, not after reading lengthy explanations ... The emphasis
throughout the book is on the understanding of n1athen1atical concepts' (Introduction,
New Senior Mathematics 1984).
f. B. Fitzpatrick passed away in 2008. Fitzpatrick was a respected author, teacher and figurehead
of mathematics education.
Bob Aus
Bob Aus taught in New South Wales high schools for 40 years, retiring in 2007. During that
tin1e Bob taught all courses fro1n Years 7 to 12 up to Level 1 / 4-unit I Extension 2. He has
1narked HSC examination papers and has been involved in the standards setting process
as judge and chief judge for the three Calculus-based courses over four years. He has also
con1pleted review ,vork for the NSW Board of Studies and represented NSW at a ,veek-long
review and standards setting of the upper level course fron1 each state prior to the develop1nent
of the Australian National Curriculu1n for senior students.
Bob spent tilne as Regional Vocational Education Consultant in the North Coast region and
,vas a Mathematics consultant in the Hunter region. When he retired he was Head Teacher
Mathen1atics at Merewether High School and enjoyed teaching an Extension 2 class ,vith
24 students.
Bob's first publication was in 1983 and he has been involved with writing a range of textbooks
and study guides since then, including revising and updating the New Senior Mathematics
series 2nd edition in 2013.
Bob has presented talks on the three Calculus-based courses throughout the state. He has
co-written the Years 6- 9 Mathe1natics syllabus for the Abu Dhabi Education Authority, as
,veil as managing the writing project for support 1naterial for this course. He also ,vrote the
Years 10- 12 syllabus for their Calculus-based course.
This third edition of New Senior Mathematics updates it for the new Stage 6 HSC courses in
NSW to be ilnple1nented in Year 11, 2019.

1.1 QUADRATIC INEQUALITIES
Here are some of the 1nain properties of inequalities. In particular, you should note the operations that reverse the
inequality sign.
• Adding or subtracting the san1e nu1nber from both sides does not alter an inequality.
• Multiplication by a positive nun1ber does not alter the direction of the inequality.
• Multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative nu1nber reverses the direction of the inequality:
e.g. 3 > 2 but -6 < -4 after n1ultiplying by -2.
• Taking the reciprocal of both sides of an inequality reverses its direction when both sides have the
same sign, but not if the signs are different:
e.g. 5 < 7 but ~ > }
3>-4 and l > - l
3 4
It is interesting to prove this result, as follo\vs:
Let a > b, where a, b have the same sign. Let a> b, \Vhere a, b have different signs.
Divide both sides by ab, which 1nust be positive Divide both sides by ab, \Vhich 1nust be negative
as a, b have the same sign: as a, b have different signs:
:b > :b :b < :b (inequality changes)
l >l l< l
b a b a
. l <l · l>l
a b a b
• Squaring both sides of an inequality produces a positive nu1nber on both sides, so the direction of the
inequality a 2 S b2 depends on \Vhich oflal and lbl is larger.
2 2
Thus, if a and bare positive and a > b then a > b (i.e. you can square both sides of an inequality without
changing direction if both sides are kno\vn to be positive).
This can be proved as follows:
Let a > b and a, b both be positive.
2
Multiply the original inequality by a, which is positive: a >ab
2
Multiply the original inequality by b, which is positive: ab> b
2 2
Link the t\vo results together: a >ab> b
. a2 > b2
• Square root ofboth sides of an inequality is only defined if both sides of the inequality are non-negative.
The direction of the inequality does not change (i.e. if a > b then ✓a> ./b, provided a is positive and b is
positive or zero).
So1ne 1nethods for solving harder inequalities \vill no\v be looked at.
Chapter 1 Further work with functions 1

YEAR 11
Quadratic inequalities
Example 1
2
Solve x - 4x > 0.
Solution
To solve a quadratic inequality you 1nust not silnply factorise it like a quadratic equation, as this is ,vrong:
x(x-4)>0
x>O,x-4>0
x>0,x>4
If you now substitute any negative number for x in the origin al inequality, you will see that it is a solution,
so x > 0, x > 4 1nust not be the complete answer. Similarly, x = 1 is not a solution even though it is included in
x > 0, x > 4, so this method 1nust be ,vrong. What has happened? Where is th e error?
The answer is that for x(x-4) > 0 to be true (Le. for the product of two factors to be positive), both x and
x - 4 n1ust be positive or both factors 1nust be negative.
The solution can proceed as follows:
x(x-4)>0
x>O and x-4>0 or x<O and x-4 <0
x>O and x>4 x<O and x<4
For both x > 0 and x > 4 to be true: For both x < 0 and x < 4 to be true:
x>4 x<O
Hence the correct solution is x < 0, x > 4 (which is read as 'x < 0 or x > 4').
Alternatively, a graphical method can be used:
2
• Sketch the parabola y = x - 4x
(concave up, cuts the x-axis at O and 4).
• Identify the x values for which the parabola is
above the x-axis (because you are looking for the places
,vhere y > O). These values are the solution. 0 X
The graph sho,vs that the solution is x < 0 or x > 4.
The graphical n1ethod in Example 1 has the advantage of providing a visual picture. It is also an easy n1ethod for
higher-degree inequalities.
Polynomial inequalities
• Use the factored fonn of the polynomial to sketch the graph of the function.
• Use the graph to identify the x values for ,vhich the graph is above (or below) the x-axis (depending on the
inequality). These values are the solution.
• If the inequality is< or>, be careful to include the values ,vhere the graph cuts or touches the x-axis.
)'
Example 2
2 y = x 1(x - 2)(x+ I)
Solve x (x- 2)(x + 1) > 0.
Solution
Sketchy= x2(x - 2)(x + 1), noting the double zero at x = 0
(a turning point on the x-axis), and zeros at x = 2 and x = - 1. - 1 0 X
Find ,vhere the graph is on or above the x-axis. The solution is

x<-l, x=O,x>2.

9 22x - 5 (2x) + 4 < 0 11 l-x<2x + l<x + 4
1.2 RATIONAL FUNCTION INEQUALITIES (x IN DENOMINATOR)
Example 3
Solve 1 > - 1.
x- 2
Solution
There are t\vo iinportant things to note here:
1
• x -:t. 2, as the function f (x) = does not exist where x = 2
x- 2
• if you n1ultiply both sides by (x- 2), you don't kI10,v ,vhether (x- 2) is positive or negative, so you don't
kI1ow whether to reverse the m equality or not.
There are several possible methods to solve an inequality like this (see below). You should n1em orise the one
or t\vo 1nethods that you find easiest an d 1nost useful, but you should be a,vare of the other 1nethods too.
Method l (algebraic method requiring consideration of all possible cases)

1 >- 1
x- 2-
If x > 2, 1nultiply by (x - 2), which is positive: If x < 2, m ultiply by (x - 2), which is negative:
1 > -(x- 2) 1 < -(x - 2) (note chan ge of inequality)
1 >-x + 2 1 <-x + 2
- 1 >-x -1 <-x
l<x (m ultiplying by-1) l>x (multiplying by -1)
x>l x<l
Both x > 2 and x > 1 n1ust be true. Both x < 2 and x < 1 n1ust be true.
This requires x > 2. This requires x < 1.
Thus the complete solu tion is x > 2, x < 1.
Method 2 (algebraic n1ethod avoiding the need to consider different cases)

1 >- 1 Note that x -:t. 2.
x- 2-
Multiply both sides by (x - 2) 2. which is known to be positive (so the inequality does not change):
X - 2 > - (X - 2) 2
X - 2 > -x2 + 4x - 4
x 2 -3x + 2 > 0

YEAR 11
You can now solve this quadratic inequality using the graphical 1nethod )'
(as sho\vn in Exa1nple 1).

The graph (at right) is on or above the x -axis for x < 1, x > 2. However, x -:I: 2,
so the solution is x < 1, x > 2.
y=x1 - 3x+2
Method 3 (variation on Method 2, producing an inequality in factorised fonn)
1 > - 1 Note that x -:I: 2. 0 I 2 X
x- 2-
Make the right-hand side becon1e zero, then si1nplify the resulting left-hand side:
l + 1> 0
x-2
l +(x-2 ) > O
x-2 -
x-l>O
x-2 -
Multiply both sides by (x- 2)2:
(x-l)(x-2) >0
This is the factorised forn1 of the quadratic inequality obtained in Method 2. Fro1n this point on, the solution
is identical to Method 2.
Method 4 (graphical method) y
1 >-1
x- 2-
Sketch a graph of y
1
= x- 2 : it is a hyperbola with vertical asyn1ptote y= - I
x- 2
at x =2 and horizontal asyn1ptote at the x -axis. 0

Also graph the horizontal line y =-1. y= _, _, X
Use the graph to find the x values for which the hyperbola is on or above
the horizontal line y = - 1. You can see that this happens for all x values
fron1 point A back to the left, including point A, and for all
x values to the right of the asyinptote.
1
To find the x-coordinate of the point A, solve = - 1: the solution is x = 1. Thus the solution is x < 1, x > 2.
x- 2
Method 5 (like the graphical method, but \Vithout drawing the graph)
1 >-1
x- 2-
List all the x values that are excluded because they 1nake the denon1inator beco1ne zero:
x -:I: 2 (the vertical asyn1ptote)
Solve the inequality's corresponding equation:
1
--= - 1
x- 2
1 =-x + 2
1
x= 1 This is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of y = and y = -1.
x- 2
The x values found by these two steps are 'critical values: to be n1arked ◄•--<l>----<---1---1-_,,
,>--_92>----+I-•
on a number line. Use open circles to mark the excluded (asymptotic) -3 -2 -1 o 1 2 3
values. If the inequality is< or>, use open circles to mark the x values
fron1 solving the equation; if the inequality is <or>, use filled circles.

YEAR 11
Now choose representative x values from each section of the nu1nber line and test to see whether the x values
satisfy the original inequality:
,,.,esx=
t O: 1 > 11
Is(0- ves
2) _ - . "
1
Test x = 1 ~: Is 1i -2 -> - 11. No
2
This finds \Vhere the graph of y = 1 is above the line y = -1.
Test x= 3: 1 > 11
Is (3-2) ves 2

1.3 INEQUALITIES INVOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE AND SQUARE ROOTS
Example 5
Solve lx-21<;.
Solution
Fron1 the definition of absolute value, you know that Ix - 21is sin1ply
equal to x - 2 where x > 2, but it is equal to -(x - 2) ,vhere x < 2.
Using graphical method (Method 4 fron1 Exa1nple 3):
Graphy= lx - 2land y= ;.
Note that the 'V'-shaped absolute value graph consists of the 2 X
y =0.Sx
ray y = 2 - x for x < 2 an d the ray y = x - 2 for x > 2.
The solution of the inequality Ix - 21< ; is shown on the graph where the 'V' -shaped absolute value graph is
below the straight line y = ; . You need to find the x-coordinates of the points of intersection A and B.
• At A, y = 2 - x and y = ; intersect. Solving these: x = j

• At B, y = x - 2 and y = ; intersect. Solving these: x = 4
Thus the solution is: j<x<4

Using analytical method (Method l fro111 Example 3):
For x > 2: x - 2< E For x < 2: 2-x< -X
2 2
.:!. <2 2 < 3x
2 2

3
Both x > 2 and x < 4 1nust be true. Both x < 2 and x > j n1ust be true.
: . 2 <x<4 :. j <x<2
Thus the con1plete solution is j < x < 4.

YEAR 11
Example 6
Solve lx-41+1x + 21> 7.
Solution
Although it is possible to solve this analytically, a graphical approach is easier.
• First sketch y= Ix - 41and y = Ix + 21on the same axes, writing the equations of their rays.
Ren1ember that y = lx-41is made up of the ray y = x - 4 (\vith positive gradient) and y = 4 - x.
Siinilarly, y = Ix+ 21is made up of y = x + 2 and y = -x - 2.
Note that the graphs have the bases of their 'V' -shapes at x = 4 and x = -2.
Next, sketch y= Ix - 41+ Ix + 21by detern1ining the equations of each of its three parts:
• For x < -2, find the equation by adding the ordinates (y values) that apply. Over this domain the
two rays that apply are y = -x- 2 and y = 4-x, so the equation is y = (-x- 2) + (4-x), i.e.
y = -2x + 2. This can easily be sketched. At x = -2, y = -2(-2) + 2 = 6, so the ray starts at (-2,6) and is
drawn back to the left with a gradient of -2 (\vhich is steeper than the existing rays on the diagram).
• For -2 < x< 4, the two rays that apply are y = -x- 2 and y = x - 4, so the equation is
y = (-x- 2) + (x- 4), i.e. y = 6. Add this horizontal interval to the graph.
• For x > 4, the hvo rays that apply are y = x + 2 and y = x - 4, so the equation is y = (x + 2) + (x - 4),
i.e. y = 2x - 2.
Draw this ray on the graph. It starts at (4, 6) and proceeds to the right with a gradient of 2.
You have now sketched the 'trough' -shaped graph of y = Ix - 41+ Ix + 21and found the equations of each of its
three parts.
• Draw the horizontal line y = 7 on the graph and label points A and B where y = Ix - 41+ Ix+ 21and
y = 7 intersect.

To solve lx - 4l+ lx+ 21> 7, you need to find the x values for which the graph is above the horizontal line y = 7,
which means you need to find the x-coordinates of A and B.
• To find A, solve siinultaneously y = -2x + 2 and y = 7: x = - ~
• To find B, solve sin1ultaneously y = 2x - 2 and y = 7: x = ~
Hence the solution is x < - ~, x > ~.

i.e. that the only applicable x values are between -1 and 1. Thus the solution is -1 < x < 0, x = 1.
Alternatively:
In this inequality, both sides are known to be non-negative

1.4 CIRCULAR AND SIMULTANEOUS INEQUALITIES
A circle divides the number plane into two regions, a finite region called its interior md ai1 infinite region called its
exterior, as \veil as the set of points that n1ake up the circle.
A parabola, cubic, quartic or hyperbola curve divides the nu1nber plai1e into hvo infinite regions, as well as the set of
points that 1nake up the curve.
Points inside and outside a circle
A circle divides the number plane into three sets of points: the sets of points on the circle, inside the circle
ai1d outside the circle. The set of points on a circle of centre C(h,k) md radius r is given by the equation
(x-h)2 + (y-k) 2 = r2.
A point P(x, y) lies on this circle if CP = r.
If CP < r, the point Pis inside the circle. If CP > r, the point Pis outside the circle.

2.1 POLYNOMIALS
A real polynonlial P(x) is an algebraic expression of the forn1 P(x) =a,/!'+ a11 _ 1x1•- 1 + ... + a 1x + a0 , ,vhere n, n - I, ...
are all positive integers and a., a11 _ 1, ••• are the coefficients, which for convenience ,viii usually be chosen as real integers.
The tern1 a11x'' is the leading term. If a11 * 0, the polyno1nial is said to be of then-th degree, or 'degree n'.
5 4 2
e.g. P(x) = 4x - 2x + x + 5x - 6 is a polynomial of degree 5.
A real polyno1nial P(x) is defined for all real x and is a continuous and differentiable function of x.
P(x) = 0 is a polynon1ial equation of degree n. Real nu1nbers x that satisfy this polynon1ial equation are called the
real roots of the equation or the real zeros of the corresponding polynon1ial.
In the Mathematics Advanced course (see New Senior Mathematics Advanced for Years 11 & 12) you have already
2
investigated the roots of the quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 and found that there are at 1nost two real roots, but
there n1ay be only one or none.
Similarly, any polynon1ial equation a,.x" + a11 _ 1x"- 1 + ... + a 1x + a0 = 0 will have at n1ost n real roots. (Finding these
real roots ,viii become easier after you study the factor theore111.)
3 2
• 2x + 4x - 3x - 5 is a polynomial of the 3rd degree in x, because the highest po,ver of x is 3.
• x 4 - 2x + 7 is a polyno1nial of the 4th degree in x.
• x½ + 2 + x and .!. + 2x- 3 are not polynomials, because they include powers of x that are not positive integers.
X

When the leading coefficient a,.= 1, the polynon1ial is said to be monic. x - 2x + 7 is a n1onic polynomial.
A polynon1ial can also be described according to the subset of real numbers that contain the coefficients
a,,, an - I' ... , QO.
• 2x2 - 7x + 1 is a 2nd-degree polynomial over the integers.
• ix 5

• ✓3x - ✓6 is a 1st-degree polynon1ial over the irrational numbers.
• 4x 2 + 11:x -1 is a 2nd-degree polynon1ial over the real nun1bers.

YEAR 11
The nu1nber 28 is a constant with a degree less than the divisor, so it is not divisible by (x - 3).
Thus the ren1ainder is 28.
3 2
Hence: 3x -7x + 2x + 4=3x2 + 2x + 8 + 28
x-3 x-3
or 3.x3 - 7x2 + 2x + 4 = (x - 3)(3x2 + 2x + 8) + 28
1.e. P(x) = (x - 3)Q(x) + R
where Q(x) is the quotient and R is the re1nainder (i.e. in this case, 28). Note:
The degree of the remainder< the degree of the divisor.

The degree of the quotient < the degree of the dividend.
When the divisor is a linear function (first degree), the re1nainder \Viii be a constant.
Note also that P(x) = (x - 3)(3x2+ 2x + 8) + 28, so:
P(3) = (3 - 3) X Q(3) + 28 = 0 + 28 = 28
This suggests that the ren1ainder of division by (x - 3) could be found just by finding the value of P(3), \Vithout
doing the long division.

Divide x 4 + x3 - 7x2 - x + 6 by x2 - 1.
Solution

The remainder is zero, so this 1neans that (x2 - 1) is a factor of
--6x2 +6 x 4 + x3 - 7x2- x + 6. This then n1eans that (x + 1) and (x - 1)
0 are also factors of x 4 + x3 - 7x2 - x + 6.

The remainder theorem

If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - a) until the remainder R does not contain x, then R = P(a).
For any polynomial, P(x) = (x - a)Q(x) + R, \Vhere Q(x) is a polyno1nial.

Thus P(a) = (a - a)Q(a) + R
i. e. P(a) = 0 x Q(a) + R
· R =P(a)
Important considerations:
1 If P(x) is divided by x + a, as x + a= x- (-a), th en R = P(-a).
2 If P(x) is divided by ax - b, as ax - b = a( x - !), then R = P( !).

2.3 THE FACTOR THEOREM

When the ren1ainder of a division is zero, the divisor is a factor of the expression bein§ divided. For exainple, 2 is a
2
factor of 14 because 14 = 2 x 7 + 0. Silnilarly, (x + 3) is a factor of x + 4x + 3 because x + 4x + 3 = (x + 3)(x + 1) + 0.
The factor theorem states:
For a polyno1nial P(x) , if P(a) = 0 then (x - a) is a factor of P(x).
The converse of this result is also true:
If (x - a) is a factor of P(x) then P(a) = 0.
By finding the zeros of a poly1101nial (i.e. values of a, such that P(a) = O), you cai1 factorise the polynon1ial. The first
factor can usually be found by trial and error, and then by long division you can find the quotient, which will have
a degree of one less than the original polyno1nial. You may then be able to find factors of the quotient, which 1nust
also be factors of the original polynon1ial.
For exa1nple, if the original poly1101nial is cubic, then the quotient \viii be a quadratic polynomial, which you can
then factorise into real factors (if they exist). For higher degree polynomials, further trial and error ,nay be needed
after long division until you can reach a factorisable quotient.
Example 8
3 2
P(x) = x - x - 14x + 24. Find one zero of the polynon1ial and then express P(x) as a product of linear factors.
Solution
3 2
P(x) = x -x 14x + 24 is 1nonic, so the factors of24 can be regarded as the only possible zeros, nan1ely
-
+ 1, +2, +3, +4, ±6, +8, + 12, +24:
P(l) = 1-1-14+24= lO;t:O, (x- 1) is not a factor
3
x-2 )x - x 2 - 14x + 24
P(-1) = -1 - 1 + 14 + 24 = 36 ;t: 0, (x + 1) is not a factor
x 3 - 2x 2
P(2) = 8 - 4 - 28 + 24 = 0, (x - 2) is a factor
Hence P(x) = (x - 2)(x2 + x - 12) x 2 - 14x
= (x - 2)(x + 4)(x - 3) x
2
- 2x
The factor theoren1 could also have been used to find the zeros 3 - 12x+24
and -4. You should use the 1nethod that you find easiest and quickest - 12x + 24
in each case.

2.5 MULTIPLE ROOTS OF A POLYNOMIAL EQUATION

A polyno1nial of degree n has n zeros, but they are not necessarily all different. You say that c is a zero of 1nultiplicity
r(r > 1) \Vhen the factor (x - c) occurs r times.
For exa1nple, if P(x) = (x - 1)3(x- s )2(x - 6), then 1 is a zero of 1nultiplicity three, 5 is a zero of 1nultiplicity two and
6 is a zero of multiplicity one.
Furthermore, if x = c is a zero of 1nultiplicity r of the real polyno1nial P(x), then x = c is also a zero of n1ultiplicity
(r- 1) of the derived polynomial P'(x), a zero of multiplicity (r - 2) of the second derived polynon1ial P"(x), and so
on. The proof of this result follo\vs.
If P(x) = (x - c)' S(x), where r > 0, S(c) -:/:. 0
then P'(x) =r(x - c)' - 1 S(x) + (x- c)' S'(x)
=(x -c)' - 1 [rS(x) + (x - c)S'(x)]
=(x-c)' - 1Q(x) [l]
i.e. the polynon1ial P ' (x), has a zero x = c of multiplicity (r- 1).
Applying the product rule to P ' (x) in [l ] produces the polyno1nial P"(x) \Vith a zero x = c of n1ultiplicity (r - 2).
If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then P'(x) must be a polynon1ial of degree (n - 1), P"(x) a polynon1ial of degree
(n - 2), and so on. This property allows us to use calculus techniques to solve equations that are known to have
multiple roots.

Solve: P ' (x) = 0: x = - !,3
As P(x) = 0 has a root of m ultiplicity 2 (i.e. a double root), the solution must be either x = - ~ or x = 3, b ut not both.

2.6 POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS

11 1
The function f, \Vhere f(x) = a11x + a,, _1x" - + ... + a 1x + a 0 (a11 ':/= O), is called the general polynomial function. This
function is defined for all real values of x and is continuous and differentiable. Following the earlier notation, P(x) is
often \vritten instead off(x) when defining rules for polynom ial functions. For a ':/= 0, there is:
• f(x) =ax + b (general linear function)
• f(x) = ax2 + bx+ c (general quadratic function)
• f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + ex + d (general cubic function)
If the coefficient of the highest power of xis unity (1), the polyno1nial is said to be n1onic.
Graphs of polynomial functions

The simplest polynomial function of degree n is f(x) = x". Graphs of these basic polynon1ials for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are

2 fl..x) = x' for even values of n defines even functions (see above right).
For even functions,f(-x) = f(x) , so their graphs are syn1n1etrical about the y-axis.
For exan1ple, ifj(x) =x4.f(-x) = (-x) 4 =x4 = f(x).
3 f(x) = x" for odd values of n defines odd functions (see above left).
For odd functions,f(-x) = -f(x). Because f(-x) and f(x) are opposite in sign, the graph offfor x < 0 can be
obtained by rotating the graph off for x > 0 through 180° about the origin.
For exan1ple, iff(x) = x 3,f(-x) = (-x)3 = -x3 = -f(x).
4 Recognising that a function is odd or even 1neans that you only need to draw half of the graph in detail.
The other half can then be drawn using the syn1n1etry properties.
5 Odd functions will have an inverse function, although som e may require a restriction on the do1nain.
6 Even functions will not have a single inverse function, but can be split into two parts (by restricting the
don1ain), so that each part has an inverse function. (Inverse functions are covered in Chapter 5.)

Graphing polynomial functions

Cubic functions
3 2
A general cubic function is a polynon1ial function f of the 3rd degree, defined by f(x) = ax + bx + ex+ d, ,vhere
a, b, c, dare constants and a -:I: 0. Every cubic polynomial has at least one linear factor of the forn1 (x + a), where
a is a real number. Factors like this can be found using the factor theoren1.
Example 17
Sketch the graph off, where f(x) = (x + l )(x - 2)(x - 3).
Solution
At the points where the graph offcrosses the x-axis, f(x) = 0:
1.e. (x + l )(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0
X =-1, 2, 3
The function value will change sign fron1 positive to negative or from negative to positive
at these points (x = - 1, x = 2, x = 3).
• For all x < - 1, each of the three factors is negative, so f(x) < 0. e.g. X = -2: j(-2) = -20 < 0
• For -1 < x < 2, the factors (x + 1) > 0, (x - 2) < 0, (x- 3) < 0, so f(x) > 0. e.g. x = 0: f(O) = 6 > 0
• For 2 < x < 3, the factors (x + 1) > 0, (x- 2) > 0 and (x- 3) < 0, so f(x) < 0. e.g. X= 2.5: j(2.5) = -0.875 < 0
• For all x > 3, each of the factors is positive, so f(x) > 0. e.g. x=4: f(4)=20>0

Sketch the graph off, where f (x) = 2x3 - x 2 - 13x - 6, an d find the values of x for which 2x3 -x2 - 13x - 6 > 0.
Solution
It is useful to find the linear factors of2x3 -x2 - 13x- 6. (Re1nen1ber there will always be at least one.)
f( l ) =2-1- 13-6=-18,;tO so (x- 1) is not a factor

Summary of quartic polynomials

1 A quartic polynon1ial n1ay have four, th ree, two, one or no real zeros.
2 If a quartic polyn on1ial h as only one real zero, then it 1nust be a quadruple zero.
3 If a quartic polyn on1ial h as only hvo d istin ct real zeros, then they are either a triple zero and a single zero or
they are both double zeros.
4 If a quartic polynonlial has only three d istinct real zeros, then they are a double zero and two single zeros.
5 If a quartic polyn on1ial h as four distinct real zeros, then it can be factorised into four real linear factors.
6 If a quartic polyn on1ial h as no real zeros, then it cannot be factorised in to any real linear factors.

3.2 SQUARE ROOT FUNCTIONS

2
Given the graph of y = fix), it is often useful or necessary to draw the graph of y = ..Jf (x ) and the graph of y = fix).
To graph these functions, it is important to find out \Vhere fix)< 0, as ..J f(x) is not defined for these values of x
2
(because the square root of a negative number is not a real nu1nber). Siinilarly, y =fix) \vill not be defined for these
2
values of x , because y cannot be negative.
Reme1nber that Jo =0 and ✓l = 1. Therefore, for O<fix)< 1, ✓ f (x ) > fix); for fix) > l,f(x) > ..}J( x).
Graphically this n1eans that for O<fix) < 1, the graph of y = ..Jf (x) is above y = f(x) , and for fix) > 1, the graph of
y = ..Jf (x ) is below y = fix).

3.6 PARAMETRIC FORM OF A FUNCTION OR RELATION

It is often useful in m athem atics to express two related variables (e.g. x and y) in terms of a third variable
(e.g. tor 0) , so that, for exa1nple: x = f(t) , y = g(t) or x = f(0), y = g(0)
Equations like these are called parametric equations and the third variable ( e.g. tor 0) is called the parameter.
For exa1nple, recall that the function s cosine and sine can b e defined as the x - and y -coordinates respectively of a
point on the unit circle x2 + y 2 = 1. Thus the unit circle can be represented by the paran1etric equations:
x = cos 0, y = sin 0
2 2
where 0 is the para1neter. When the unit circle is described by the equation x + y = 1, it is said to b e in
Cartesian forn1.
Example 16
Find the Cartesian equ ation of the curve and describe it in word s, given the p aran1etric equations:
(a) X = t, y = t + 1 (b) x = 2t - 1, y = 3t + 2.
Solution
(a) x= t,y= t + 1
Make t the subject of the equation in x: t = x
Substitute in the equ ation for y: y = x + 1
The parametric equation s represent a straight line \Vith gradien t 1 and y -in tercept 1.
(b) x = 2t - 1, y = 3t + 2
Make t the subject of the equation in x: 2t = x + 1
t = x+ l
2
Substitute in the equ ation for y: y = 3 x x; 1

+2
2y=3x + 3 + 4
3x-2y+7=0
The parametric equation s represent a straight line \Vith gradien t 1.5 and y -intercept 3.5.

4.1 SUM AND DIFFERENCE OF TWO ANGLES
You can derive formulae for the trigonometric functions of su1ns and differences of angles, i.e. formulae for
cos (0 + ¢),sin (0 + ¢)and tan (0 + ¢), in tern1s of trigono1netric y
functions of the angles 0 and ¢.
First, obtain a forn1ula for cos (0- ¢), then deduce formulae for the /:::::-::----f -/ 7 \Q(cos¢, sin !l)

Starting fron1 A, mark a unit circle to show LAOP = 0 and LAOQ = ¢
x'+y'= I
(where 0 > ¢ for convenience), as sho,vn. The coordinates of P and Qare
thus (cos 0, sin 0) and (cos¢, sin ¢) respectively, and LPOQ = 0- ¢.
Using the distance forn1ula: PQ 2 = (cos 0- cos ¢)2 + (sin 0- sin ¢)2
= 2-2(cos 0cos¢ + sin 0sin¢) [a]
Using the cosine rule in MOQ: PQ2 = 1 + l -2cos(LPOQ)
= 2-2cos(0- ¢) [b I
Equating [a) and [b): 2 - 2cos (8- ¢) = 2 - 2 (cos 0cos ¢ + sin 0 sin¢)
cos(0- ¢)=cos 0cos ¢+ sin 0 sin¢ (1)
This fonnula [ 1) is true for all values of 8 and ¢.

By writing (-¢) in place of¢, reme1nbering that cos(-¢)= cos¢ and sin(-¢) =-sin¢, you also have:
cos(0+ ¢)=cos 0cos ¢- sin 0 sin¢ (2)
Sin1ilarly, ,vith (90° - 0) in place of 0 in [ 1):
cos (90° - (0+ ¢))=cos (90° - 0) cos¢ + sin (90° - 0) sin¢
And using the con1plementary angles formulae, i.e. cos (90° - a) = sin a and sin (90° - a ) = cos a:
sin (0+ ¢)=sin 0cos ¢+cos 0 sin¢ (3)
Writing(-¢) in place of¢ in (3): sin (0- ¢)=sin 0cos (-¢) + cos 0 sin(-¢)
sin (0- ¢)=sin 0cos ¢- cos 0 sin¢ (4)
Combining these for the tangent functions: tan (0 + ¢) = sin(8+¢)

Solution
By recognising the forn1 of the equation, the two-angle expansion can be used in reverse:
(a) sin (2a + /3)cos /3- cos (2a + /3)sin f3 = sin [(2a + /3) - /3] = sin 2a
(b) cos(20- 3a) cos20+ sin (20- 3a) sin20= cos [(20- 3a) - 20)
=cos(-3a) =cos3a
Alternatively, the expressions on the LHS can be expanded and like term s collected For exainple, the solution to
(a) becomes:
sin (2a + /3) cos /3- cos (2a + /3)sin /3 = [sin 2acos f3 + cos 2asin /3]cos {3- [cos2a cos {3- sin 2asin /3)sin f3
= sin 2a cos f3 + cos2a sin f3 cos /3- cos2a cos f3 sin f3 + sin 2a sin f3

Using the sum-and-difference-of-two-angles forn1ula [2) (see previous section), \vriting 0 in place of !fa:
cos(0+ tP) = cos 0cos tP- sin 0 sin ip [2)

cos (0 + 0) = cos 0 cos 0- sin 0 sin 0
cos20= cos 2 0-sin2 0
Fro1n sin 2 0 + cos2 0 = 1: cos20= 2cos 2 0-1 [7)

cos20= l-2sin 2 0
Similarly, using fonnula [3) and writing 0 in place of !fa:
sin (0 + tP) = sin 0cosip+ cos 0 sin ip [3)
sin(0+ 0) = sin 0cos 0 + cos 0sin 0
sin20= 2sin 0cos 0 [8)

The double angle fonnulae can be used in n1any different \vays.
For exan1ple, as 40= 2 x 20, therefore sin 40= 2sin20cos20.
This result can be further sin1plified by again using the double angle forn1ulae to obtain an expression in tenns of 0:
sin40 = 2 x 2sin 0cos 0x (cos2 0- sin 2 0) = 4sin 0cos 0 (cos 2 0- sin 2 0).
Also, sin 0 = 2 sin ~ cos ~ , so it is possible to express a function of an angle in tenns of half the angle.

4.5 TRIGONOMETRIC PRODUCTS AS SUMS OR DIFFERENCES

In section 4.1 you established the formulas for the sun1 and difference of trigonon1etric functions (here rewritten
using the variables A and B):
sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sinB [l ]
sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-cosAsinB [2]
cos(A + B) = cosA cosB-sinA sinB [3]
cos(A -B) = cosA cosB + sin A sinB [4]
Add [l ) and [2]: 2sinAcosB=sin(A+B) + sin(A-B) [a]
= sin (sum) + sin (difference)
Subtract (2) from (1): 2cosA sin B=sin(A + B) -sin(A-B) [b)
= sin (sum) - sin (difference)
Add (3) and [4]: 2 cos A cosB = cos (A+ B) + cos (A - B) [c]
= cos (su1n) + cos (difference)
Subtract (3 ) from (4): 2sinA sin B = cos (A -B) - cos(A + B) [d]
= cos (difference) - cos (sun1)

The ray OP defines an infinite number of angles in the first quadrant. If you rotate OP about the origin (either
clock\vise or anticlockwise), then during each revolution it is along the original ray OP once.
Each full rotation increases the angle by 2rr, so you find that OP is the tenninal ray defining the angles:

Reflection in the line y =x

On a Cartesian plane, sketch the graph y = x and plot the points ( 1, 3) and (-2, 4). Reflect the points in the line y = x
and consider how the reflection changes each of the coordinates.
You should see that \vhen a point is reflected in the line y = x, \vhat was x becomes y and what was y becon1es x'.
In general, the point (a, b) beco1nes the point (b, a) on reflection in y = x. The n1idpoint of these two points is

A one-to -one function is a function that has no ordered pairs \Vith the san1e y-coordinate. Any line parallel to the
x-axis will intersect the graph of a one-to-one function no m ore than once. It is said that such graphs pass the
horizontal line test. This 1neans that in the diagra1ns above, g(x) and h(x) are exainples of one-to-one functions.
Note that f(x) is not one-to-one, because a straight line parallel to the x-axis could intersect the graph off(x) at hvo
points, e.g. (- a, a 2) and (a, a 2). This 1neans that the graph off(x) is a two-to -one function.
An example of a many-to-one function is s(x) = sinx. But a function t(x) = sinx, 0 < x < 1is a one-to-one
restriction of s(x).
One-to-one functions are significant because of their properties when reflected in the line y = x. This is important in
the development of inverse functions. For exan1ple, the reflection of the graph of y = x2 in the line y =xis the parabola
I= x, \Vhich is the graph of a relation and not a function (see the left diagrain below).

Increasing and decreasing functions

A function f defined on the interval a < x x 1 then f(x 2) > f(x 1). This 1neans that the curve always slopes up\vards to the right, as shown in

Similarly, a function is said to be strictly monotonic decreasing when, for all x 1 and x2 in the do1nain, if x 2 > x 1 then
f(x 2) < f(x 1). This n1eans that the curve slopes do\vnwards to the right, as shown in the right diagram above.
Functions that are strictly monotonic increasing or decreasing are clearly one-to-one.
Inverse functions
Consider t\vo operations such that each is the 'reverse' of the other. For exainple, the cube of 2 is 8 and the cube root of
8 is 2. The cube function defined by f(x) = x3, x ER (i.e. 'xis a member of the set of real numbers'), and the cube
root function, defined by g(x) = ¼, x ER, are said to be a pair of inverse functions: f(2) = 8 ai1d g(8) = 2.

The square of 2 is 4, but in the reverse operation 4 has two square roots, + 2. If you wish to return to 2 in the square
root operation, you n1ust take the positive square root.
This 1neans that the square function, defined by l(x) = x2, x > 0 and the positive square root function, defined
by g(x) = ✓x, x > 0, are a pair of inverse functions. For the inverse to define a function, the functions must be
one-to -one.
l(x)=x 2 (x>O) g(x)= ✓ x (x>O)
l(g(x))=(g(x))2 g(l(x))=.,/l(x)

Example 2
Find the inverse function 1-1 for the function l \Vhere l(x) = 2x + 4.

You require 1-1, such that: l(l- 1(x))= x =1-1 (l(x))

l -1(x)= (x-4)
It is now easy to show that: l - (l (x))= 1[(2x +4)-4]

Hence 1-1 (x) = ~ (x - 4) is the rule defining this inverse function. You no\v need to find the do1nain and

This inverse correspondence can be represented by (4,0), (6, 1), (0,-2), ( 10,3).

The hvo diagra1ns in Exan1ple 2, considered together, show that an elen1ent x EdI is ,napped back to itself by the
con1posite function f (f - 1(x )). This is as required by the general defining property f (f - 1( x )) = x.
Exa1nple 2 illustrates several important general properties of inverse functions.
1 d1 = r _, and r1 = d _, , so the do1nain and range are interchanged between a function and its inverse.

2 If (a, b) is a point on the graph off. then (b, a) is a point on the graph of l - 1• On the graphs these are called

n1idpoint of PQ are [ (a +b ), (b+a )] . which is a point on the graph of y =x for any a and b. Hence
y = x bisects the line seg1nent PQ so that P and Q are mirror in1ages of each other in this line.
4 The graph of 1-1 is thus seen to be a reflection of the graph off in the line y = x. This is very useful when
sketching graphs. It also follo\vs that any intersection between the graphs offand f - n1ust be on y = x.

Existence of inverse functions

Not every function has an inverse function. The graphs of a function and its inverse 1nust be reflections of each other
in the line y = x. When the graph of a one-to-one function is reflected in y = x, the reflection is itself the graph of
a function. But when the graph of a n1any-to-one function is reflected in y =x, the reflection is not the graph of a
function- it is the graph of a relation (which \vould fail the vertical line test), so it cannot be calledf- 1•

Here y = sin- 1 x does not mean y = (sin x)- 1, as that would be y = co sec x.
Instead, there is a new function, the inverse sine function, y = sin- 1 x or y = arcsin x.
Note the follo\ving features of the inverse sine function: y

Graph the functions y = sin (sin- 1 x) and y = sin- 1 (sinx) for -2TC < x < 2TC using graphing software or by con1pleting
a table of values.
Note:
• y = sin (sin- 1 x) or y = sin (arcsin x) exists only for values of x behveen -1 and 1 inclusive;
y =sin (sin- 1 x) is equivalent toy = x for this entire do1nain.
• y = sin- 1 (sin x) or y = arcsin (sin x) exists for all real x, but it is equivalent toy = x only for -1< x <1·

Method 2 here sho\vs a good approach. When you have to take an inverse trigonometric function
of a negative value, use the syn1n1etry properties of the inverse trigono1netric functions:
sin- 1 (-x) = -sin- 1 x cos- 1 (-x) = n-cos- 1 x tan- 1 (-x) = - tan- 1 x
This process ensures that the function is evaluated \vith a first quadrant angle.
(f) Method 1 Method2
Let arccos(- ~ )= 0 Use the symmetry properties:
Then cos0= - ~ and O< 0< n arccos(- ~)= n - arccos- 1 (~) and tan (n- 0) = -tan 0
So 0 is a second quadrant angle.
tan ( arccos (- ~))= tan ( n - arccos ~)
Need to evaluate:
tan( arccos(- ~))= tan0 = - tan ( arccos ~)

If an outcon1e can happen in m different \vays, and a second outco1ne can happen in n different ways, then the total
nun1ber of ways in \Vhich the t\vo outco1nes can happen together is m x n.
Total nun1ber of ways = m x n where m = nun1ber of ways first outcon1e can happen
n = nu1nber of ways second outcon1e can happen
For exa1nple, this sin1ply n1eans that if you have 5 different shirts and 7 different hats, then the total nu1nber of
different selections of a shirt and hat is 5 x 7 = 35.
This is known as the multiplication principle.
Example 1
There are four roads fron1 town A to to\vn B, and three roads fro1n town B to town C.
Ho\v 1nany different \vays are there to travel by road fron1 A to B to C?
Solution
Consider the first road fron1 A to B. After this road there are three \vays to travel fro1n B to C.
Similarly, after taking the second road from A to B there are then three ways to go from B to C.
As there are 4 different ways from A to B, and after each of these there are 3 different \vays to go fron1 B to C,
there are in total 4 x 3 = 12 ways to go fro1n A to B to C (i.e. fron1 A to Cvia B).

Solution
(a) There is a choice of 6 people for the first p lace.
There is a choice of 5 people for the second place, as one person already occupies the first p lace.
There is a choice of 4 people for the third p lace, as two people have already been used.
Hence there are 6 x 5 x 4 = 120 different ways to fill the three places in the row.
This problem could also be considered using a diagram to represent the p laces:
6 5 4 Each nu1nber shows how many ways there are to fill each place.
Using the fundalnental counting principle, this gives 6 x 5 x 4 = 120 d ifferent ways.
(b) The same method as in part (a), continued for six places:

Factorial notation
Factorial notation uses all exclalnation mark ! as a short way to write the product of consecutive positive integers.
The answer to Exalnple 3 (b) above can be written as 6!, which n1eans the product of the consecutive integers from 6
to 1.
6! is read as '6 factorial' or 'factorial 6'. In general, the product of n consecutive positive integers fro1n n to 1 is
,vritten n! a11d read as 'n factorial'.
n! = n(n - l)(n - 2) x ... x 3 x 2 x 1

(d) Why is the answer to part (c) not the product of the answers in parts (a) and (b)?

(c) The group of 11 people can sit together in 11! ways, i.e. 39 916 800 ways.
(Note: This a11swer is best ,vritten sin1ply as ' 11!' rather tha11 as '39 916 800'.)
(d) In part (c) there is no grouping by gender, so 11 different people are being arranged in one big group.

For exan1ple, if you have five pigeons and four pigeonholes, then one of the pigeonholes n1ust contain at least two
pigeons.
If you place one pigeon in each pigeonhole, then the only \Vay that you can place the remaining pigeon is to put it in
with one of the pigeons already in a pigeonhole.
If (n + 1) ite1ns occupy n containers, then at least one of the containers 1nust contain at least two iten1s.
Proof
If each container contains at most one ite1n, then n containers will contain n ite1ns.
Thus any additional iten1s must go into a container already containing an iten1.
Hence the state1nent is true: at least one of the containers 1nust contain at least t\vo iten1s.
This result n1ay be extended to:
If n iten1s are sitting in k containers, \Vhere n > k, then there is at least one container with at least ~ ite1ns in it.

YEAR 11
Proof
Assume there are no containers that have at least ~ ite1ns. Hence every container has fewer than ~ iten1s.
Total nun1ber of items< ~ x k = n, as there are k containers.
This says that the nun1ber of items is less than n, which contradicts the initial statement that there \Vere n iten1s.
Hence the assumption 'assu1ne there are no containers that have at least ; items' must be false.
Thus, there is at least one container with at least ; items in it.
Another exainple of this principle is that if you pick up four gloves, then you 111ust have either at least two left-hand
gloves or at least two right-hand gloves: 1= 2. The actual set of possible outco1nes is {4L, 3LlR, 2L2R, 1L3R, 4R},
\Vhich verifies the state1nent.
Example 5
(a) You have a dra\ver full of red and blue socks that have not been arranged in pairs. Socks can be \Vorn on
either foot. What is the least nu1nber of socks that you 1nust take fron1 the drawer to be sure that you have
one pair of the san1e colour?
(b) Explain why ai1y 27-\vord sequence in this book 1nust have at least two \Vords that start with the saJ11e letter.
Solution
(a) In this exa1nple the socks are the iten1s an d the colour of the socks are the containers. Thus there are two
contain ers, so you need three iten1s to be sure that you have two ite1ns in the saine container.
Hence you n1ust select three socks fro1n the drawer to be sure that you have one pair of the same colour.
You would have either three socks of the saJ11e colour or two socks of the saine colour and the other sock
the re1naining colour.
(b) There are 27 words (ite1ns) that can start with one of the 26 different letters of the alphabet (containers).
By the pigeonhole prin ciple, two of the words 1nust start with the san1e letter.
Example 6
There are seven pigeons sitting in three pigeonholes.
Explain why one of the pigeonholes must contain at least three pigeons.
Solution
n = 7,k = 3,so n =7..= 2.!.
k 3 3
Hence one pigeonhole 1nust contain at least 2 .!. pigeons, but since part-pigeons are in1possible, it n1ust contain
. 3

6.3 PERMUTATIONS
A permutation is an ordered selection or arrangen1ent of all or part of a set of objects.
It is very iinportant to re1nen1ber that pennutations are used when the order is important!
Example 3(b) above is an exan1ple of the nun1ber of arrange1nents of a set of six objects. Exa1nple 3(a) is an example
of the nun1ber of arrange1nents of three me1nbers of a set of six objects. Note that in general:
• the nun1ber of arrange1nents of n different objects is n !
• the nun1ber of arrange1nents of three objects taken fron1 a set of n different objects is n(n - l )(n - 2).
c II n(n _ l)(n _ 2) -_ n(n - l)(n - 2)(n-3)(n- 4) x ... x 3 x 2 x l _ n!
C onsi der th e 10 o,ving statement:
(n - 3)(n-4) x ... x 3 x 2 x l (n - 3)!
Example 7
Fron1 a standard pack of 52 playing cards, the set of hearts (• ) are taken. In ho,v n1any ways:
(a) can the 13 cards be arranged in a row
(b) can 6 of the 13 cards be arranged in a ro,v?
Solution
(a) 13 cards can be arranged in 13 ! ways.
(b) 6 out of 13 cards can be arranged in 13 x 12 x l l x 10 x 9 x 8 = 1235 520 ways.
13
This could be written as ( l~! )' = / = 1235 520 ways.
13 6 . 7.
Number of permutations np r
The sy1nbol "P, 1neans the number of arrangen1ents (i.e. ordered subsets, pern1utations) of any n different objects
taken rat a tiine (or in other words, the arrangements of r objects taken from a group of n objects). This denotes the
nun1ber of ways of filling r places ,vith then different objects that are available (r < n).
Using the diagram notation fro1n Example 3 above:
"P, = I n I n - l I n - 2 I ... I n - r+ l I
The first place can be filled in n ways, because any one of the n objects can occupy this place. When the first place
has been filled in any one of these ,vays, there ren1ain (n - l) objects, any one of which can occupy the second place.
By the fundan1ental counting principle, each way of filling the first place can be associated with each ,vay of filling
the second place, so the nu1nber of ways of filling the first two places is n(n - l).
Sin1ilarly, after the first t\vo places have been filled in any one of these ways there re1nain (n - 2) objects, any one of
which can occupy the third place. Hence the first three places can be filled in n(n - l)(n - 2) ways. Continuing this
pattern, the number of ,vays of filling r places is given by:

YEAR 11
"P, = n(n - l)(n - 2) .. .(n - r + 1)

n(n- l)(n-2) ... (n-r + l)(n-r)!
I 1l
(n -r)!
. "P = n! [2]
' (n - r)!
Similarly, note that the syn1bol "P11 would denote the number of ,vays of filling n places with n objects available:
Fro1n [l]: "P = n(n - l )(n - 2) ... (n - n + 1)
"
= n(n - l )(n - 2) x ... x 3 x 2 x 1 = n!
"P n! _ n !
But fro1n [2]: " - (n-n)! - O!
n'
Hence you have: n!= O
!
For consistency, O! is therefore defined to be equal to 1: O! = 1

(b) In how 1nany ,vays can a Mathen1atics prize, a Physics prize and a Chemistry prize be awarded in a class
of 10 students?
Solution
(a) This question is asking us to find how many different arrangements of three students can be selected
fron1 10 students.
0
Nu1nber of ways = ' P3 = 10 x 9 x 8 = 720
(b) In this question each student could ,vin any or all of the prizes, so permutations are not used.
Nu1nber of ways = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000

Arrangements with restrictions
Example 9
In ho,v 1nany ,vays can six students and two teachers be arran ged in a row if:
(a) the two teachers are together (b) the two teachers are not together
(c) there are at least three students separating the teachers?
Solution
(a) If the teachers are together they can be regarded as one 'unit'. Thus there are seven 'units'
(six students plus the unit of two teachers) to be arranged in a row. This can be done in 7! ways.
However, the hvo teachers (label the1n A and B) can be arranged a1nong then1selves in 2! (i.e. hvo)
,vays, AB or BA.
:. Nun1ber of arrange1nents = 2! x 7! = 10 080

YEAR 11
(b) Number of arrangements without restriction= 8!

Number of arrangements with the teachers together= 2! x 7!
Nu1nber of arrange1nents \Vith the teachers not together= 8! - 2! x 7!
=8 X 7! - 2 X 7!
= 6 X 7! = 30240
(c) There is a restriction on the places to be occupied by the teachers, so it is easiest to arrange the teachers first.
If teacher A is in the first position then teacher B
can occupy the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth
position, as sho\vn:
A B B B B
Siinilarly, for all the possible first positions of A there are:

• 4 arrangements of A and B with A in first position
• 3 arrangements of A and B with A in second position
• 2 arrangements of A and B with A in third position
• 1 arrangement of A and B \Vith A in fourth position
• 1 arrangement of A and B \Vith A in fifth position
• 2 arrangements of A and B with A in sixth position
• 3 arrangements of A and B with A in seventh position
• 4 arrangements of A and B with A in eighth position.
There are 20 different ways of arranging A and B (i.e. the sun1 of the above arrange1nents).
For each of these 20 arrangen1ents there are six places left, which can be filled by the students in 6! \vays.
Nun1ber of arrange1nents (total)= 20 x 6! = 14400
Example 10
Ho\v 1nany different arrangen1ents of the letters of the word TUESDAY are possible if:
(a) the three vo\vels are together (b) the first and last places are consonants
(c) the consonants and vo\vels occupy alternate positions?
Solution
The vowels are A, E, U; the consonants are D, S, T, Y.
(a) As the three vowels are together they can be regarded as one unit.
Thus there are five units (the four consonants plus the group of vowels) to be arranged in a ro\v.
This can be done in 5! ways.
Also, the three vowels can be arranged in 3! \vays.
:. Total nu1nber of arrange1nents = 3! x 5! = 720
(b) There are restrictions on the first and last places, so fill then1 first.
• There are four consonants, so the first place can be filled in 4 \vays.
• After the first place is filled, the last place can be filled in 3 ways.
• The ren1aining five places can be filled \Vithout
restriction in 5! ways. I

Total nu1nber of arrange1nents = 4 x 3 x 5! = 1440

YEAR 11
(c) The consonants (C) and vo,vels (V) occupy alternate positions, as
shown in the table on the right. There are 1nore consonants than C V C V C V C
vowels, so the consonants n1ust occupy the end places.
The four consonants can fill their places in 4! ways. The three vo,vels can fill their places in 3! ways.
: . Total number of arrangen1ents = 4! x 3! = 144
Arrangements in a circle
The nun1ber of ways of arranging n different objects in a circle, regarding clockwise and anticlock,vise arrange1nents
as different, can be sho,vn to be:
n'
- · =(n - 1)! (This is shown in Example 11 below.)
n
In a circular arrangement there is no start or finish, so to count the arrange1nents one object needs to be fixed as the
'starting' object.
Example 11
In ho,v 1nany ,vays can the four people, Alexia, Bronwyn, Chanda and Divya, be arran ged in a circle?
Solution
Method 1
There is no first place to fill, so any one person can be fixed as the 'starting' person (or the 'fixed position') and
the other three people arranged around her. This can be done in 3! ,vays.
A
Method2
The diagram at right shows an arrangement of the four people (labelled with the first
letter of each name, A , B, C, D). D B
If A, B, C, D are kept in the san1e position relative to each other and then 1noved
all one place clocbvise, they still have the sa1ne arrangement- the arrange1nent has
C
not changed.
If A , B, C, D were arranged in a straight line an d they \Vere all moved along one position to the right (so that the
fourth position n1oved to the first position), then the arrangement would have changed.
You should be able to see that for every one arrangement of the group in a circle, there are four different
arrange1nents of the san1e group in a straight line.
: . Nun1ber of circular arran gements= Number of linear arrangen1ents + Number of elements

Mutually exclusive operations-the addition principle

In Exainple 9 (c) above there are hvo teachers A and B seated in a ro,v and separated by at least three students.
A could occupy the first position and B the fifth position or A the first ai1d B the sixth or A the first and B the
seventh , and so on. Arrai1gements like these are said to be mutually exclusive, because they cannot both be true at
the sa1ne time. For example, 'A is first and B is fifth' excludes the possibility that 'A is first and B is sixth' - these hvo
descriptions cannot both be true at the san1e tiine.

Example 12
Ho,v 1nany numbers greater than 6000 can be form ed using the digits 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 if no d igit can be used
n1ore than once per number?
Solution
Nun1bers containing either four digits or five digits can be fonned.
For four-digit numbers, the first place can be filled in three ways by either 6, 8 or 9.
After the first place is filled (in any one of these three ways) , four digits ren1ain, any one of which can occupy
second place. Following the n1ultiplication principle, the second place can be filled in four ,vays, the third place in
three ways and the fourth place in two ways:
:. Number of arrangen1ents = 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 = 72 3 4 3 2
4 41
or Nun1ber of arrange1nents = 3 x P3 = 3 x ( _· )! = 72
4 3
For five-digit nun1bers the first place can be filled in five ways, the second in four ways, and so on.
:. Number of arrangen1ents = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 5 4 3 2 1
5 51
or Nun1ber of arrange1nents = P5 = ( - )! = 120
-
5 5
You cannot fonn a four-digit nun1b er and a five-digit nu1nber at the same tiine. These two operations are
1nutually exclusive.
:. Total nun1ber of arrangen1ents = 4 -digit arrangements + 5-digit arrange1nents = 72 + 120 = 192

6.5 COMBINATIONS
A com bination (or 'selection') is an unordered pennutation of all or part of a set of objects.
Note: For combinations, the order is not important.
Consider a set of four people, A, B, C and D. In groups of two people at a tin1e, they can be arranged as follo\vs: AB,
AC, AD, BC, BD, BA , CD, CA, CB, DA , DB, DC.
There are 4P2 = 12 arrangements.
However, the nun1ber of combinations (selections) of two people at a tin1e is only six. For exainple, AB and BA are
two arrange1nents, but only one con1bination- the order in which they are combined does not n1atter. A ai1d B can
be arranged together in 2! \vays, but co1nbined in only one \Vay.
The six different co1nbinations (selections) are as follows: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD.

Use technology to calculate the number of combinations of n different objects taken r at a time.
Important result
From the definition for "C,:
"C -(n)- n! and "C -( n ) - n! - n!
,- r - r !(n-r) ! n-,- n-r - (n-r)!(n-(n-r))! - (n-r)!r!
Thus: "C = "C, _ or (n) = ( n )

r r, r n-r
This n1eans that the nun1ber of combinations of n objects, taken rat a time, is equal to the number of co1nbinations
of n objects taken (n - r) at a tin1e.
For each set of r objects selected, there is a set containing (n - r) objects is left behind. Thus there n1ust be the san1e
nun1ber of sets containing (n - r) objects as there are containing r objects.

In how 1nany ,vays can four runners and three s,vimmers be arranged in a row if there are eight runners and five
swin1n1ers to select fro1n?
Solution
First select the total group of seven runners and swimmers, then arrange the group in a row:
• four runners and three swi1nmers can be selected in 8 C4 x 5C3 ways.
• The group of seven can be arranged in 7! ,vays.

This answer is not 8P 4 x 5P 3, because the group has to be selected before it can be arranged. When selecting the
group the order is not important, so the number of ,vays the group of seven can be selected is 8C4 x 5 C3. After the
group is selected they can then be arranged in a row.

Prove that: m+"Cr ="'Cr + "'Cr - 1"C1 + "'Cr - 2"C2 + ... + "'C2"C r - 2 + "'CI "C r - 1 + "C r
Solution
The syn1bol m+"C, denotes the number of selections, each of r objects, when you select fro1n hvo sets containing
m and n objects respectively.
The r objects can be selected as follows (assun1ing r is not greater than either morn):
r objects fro1n m and no objects fro1n n in "'C, ways
or (r- 1) objects fro1n m and one object fron1 n in "'C,_/C 1 ways
or (r - 2) objects fro1n m and two objects fron1 n in "'C,_/'C2 ways
and so on until:
no objects fron1 m and r objects fro1n n in "C, ways.
These selections are 1nutually exclusive, so they are added to obtain the final result:

Solution
Method 1
The syn1bol "+ 1 Ck denotes the nun1ber of selections, each of k objects, when you select from hvo sets containing n
objects and 1 object respectively.
The k objects can be selected as follows (assuming k < n):
• k objects fron1 the set of n and none fro1n the set of one in "C/C0 ="Ck ways
• (k - 1) objects from the set of n and the other one object in "Ck_/ C, = "Ck_1 ,vays.

Note that C0 = 1 and C 1 = 1.
These two selections are mutually exclusive, so they are added to obtain the final result:

Method 2
Use the result for "C, in factorial notation:
"C "C n! n!
k + k - 1 = k!(n -k)!+ (k-l)!(n-k+l)!
= n'(. k!(n1- k )! + (k-l)!(n-k+l)!

from k! =k(k-1)!

Combinations of any number of objects

The syn1bol "C, can also be described as representing the nun1ber of r-subsets in a given set, \Vhere O< r < n.
If no specific value of r is stated, r can asswne any value between Oand n inclusive. Hence the nwnber of subsets that
each contain at least one ele1nent, i.e. the nun1ber of non -en1pty subsets in an n-set, is "C1 + "C2 + "C3+ ... + "C,.
Fro1n a set of n objects, each object can be dealt with in hvo ways: it can be included or it can be excluded. The
number of \vays of dealing with then objects is thus 2 x 2 x 2 x ... ton factors, or 2". But this includes the case
\Vhere all n objects are excluded, so the nun1ber of combinations of at least one object is 2" - 1.

Solution
(a) Nu1nber of ways the A pair can be selected= 4 C2 = 6
Nu1nber of ways the B pair can now be selected = 1
:. Number of \vays an A pair an d a B pair can be selected= 6 x 1 = 6
After the first pair is selected, there is only one pair left for the B pair.
In this question you are distinguishing behveen the two pairs selected by calling the1n A and B.

(b) Number of ,vays of selecting hvo people fro1n four = 4C2 = 6

Let the people be W, X , Y, Z, so the six possible pairs are WX, WY, WZ, XY, XZ, YZ.
Unlike in part (a), the order of selecting the two pairs now does not n1atter, so WX and YZ is not
considered different to YZ and WX. 4
Thus the nu1nber of ways of dividing four people into two pairs = ~ 2 = ~ = 3
Example 22
In how 1nany ,vays can six people be placed into three groups containing:
(a) three, two an d one people respectively (b) hvo people in each group?

Fron1 the remain ing th ree people, hvo people can be selected in 3C2 ways.
This leaves one person for the last group.

The number of ,vays people can be put into three distinct groups of 2 = 6 C2 x 4C2 x 1 = 90

Let A be the event 'black cube in the first draw' and B be the event 'black cube in the second draw'.
Each cube is equally likely to be selected, so P(A) = ~.
The outcome of the second dra\v is dependent on the outco1ne of the first draw:
if event A has happened then there are eight cubes left, of which five are black.

6.7 EXPANSION OF (1 + x)n, PASCAL'S TRIANGLE

By multiplying to expand the brackets, it can be shown that ( 1 + x) 11 is equal to the following:
n = 0: ( 1 + x) 0 = 1
n=l: ( l + x) 1 =l+x
n=2: ( l + x)2=1+2x+x2
n=3: ( l + x)3=1+3x+ 3x2 + x 3
n=4: ( l + x)4=1+4x+ 6x2 + 4x3 + x 4
n=5: ( l + x)5 =1+5x+lOx2 + 10x3 + 5x4 + x5
n=6: ( 1 + x) 6 = 1 +6x+ 15x2 + 20x3 + 15x4 +6x5 + x 6
You can see that in each case, the expansion of ( 1 + x)" for n = I, 2, 3, ... is a polyno1nial of degree n in the variable x.
The coefficients of the successive po\vers of (I + x)• 1
the expansion of 1 + x can be arranged in a (I + x)' 1 1

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Pascal's triangle
Create and explore the construction of Pascal's triangle.
Properties of Pascal's triangle

1 The first and last nun1ber in each ro\v is 1.
2 Every nu1nber not at the end of a row is the su1n of the two nu1nbers in the row above it to the left and right
(e.g. 10 = 4 + 6, 15 = 5 + 10, 20 = 10 + 10).
3 The number of terms in each row is one n1ore than the value of n.
4 The second and second-last tenns in each ro\v are the value of n.
These properties enable the expansion of ( 1 + x )" to be written for any integer value of n. For example:
n = 7: ( 1 + x )7 = 1 + 7x + 2 1.x2 + 35.x3 + 35x4 + 2 1.x5 + 7x6 + x 7 (eight tenns)
n = 8: (nine terms)
Unfortunately, using these properties of Pascal's triangle to find the coefficients of any particular expansion requires
all the previous rows. For exa1nple, to expand ( 1 + x) 12 in this \Vay you \vould first need all the ro\vs up to n = 11 to
find the 12th row of Pascal's triangle.
However, there is a n1ore efficient way to find the coefficients. You can establish a relationship for the coefficients for
11
the expansion of the general case ( 1 + x) •
To do this, you can use the notation 11C, in place of the coefficient, \vhere the right subscript r is the power of x and
the left superscript n is the po\ver n. Previously defined as the nun1ber of combinations of n different objects taken r
at a tin1e, 11C,, is also by definition the coefficient of x' in (1 + x) 11 •
Thus you can \Vrite the general expansion of (1 + x )" as:
(1 + X ),, = "Co + 11C1X + 11 CzX 2 + ... + "C,X r + ... + 11 C11 X 11

r=O
This is the binomial theorem. Notice that in each tenn the su1n of the powers in a11 -'b' is n - r + r = n. As the po\ver
of a decreases \Vith each tern1, the power of b increases by the same ainount.

After the required tern1 is found, there is no need to find succeeding tern1s.
(1 + 5a) 5 = 1 + 25a + 250a2 + 1250a3 + 3125a4 + ...
The coefficient of a 4 is 3125.

For the expansion, you can write T 1 = C0 , T 2 = C1(5a) and so on, leading to the general term T,+t = C,(5a)'.

For the tern1 in a4. r = 4: T 5 = C4(5a) = 5 x 5 a = 3 125a

6.9 PASCAL'S TRIANGLE RELATIONS AND THE BINOMIAL THEOREM

There are two separate Pascal's triangle relations: one for the outer coefficients and another for the other (inner)
coefficients.

Adding the above two lines, the left-hand side becon1es: (1+ x)"-1 + x(l + x)"- 1 = (1 + x)( l + x)"-1 = (1 + x )"
Hence:
(1+ X )" = 11-JcO+ ( 11-ICO+ 11- lcl )x + ( n-lcl + 11- lc2 )x2 + ... + ( 11- lc,- J + 11- lc, )x' + ... + ( 11-lc11- 2+ n-lc11-J)x"-1 + 11-Jc,,_1X"
Con1paring these two expansions for ( 1 + x)", you no\v have:
(l+x)" ="C0 +"C1x +... +"C,x' + ... +"C,,x" [ 1l
Equating the coefficients of x: "C, = "- 1c,_1 + "- 1c, for 1 < r < n - 1
In terms of Pascal's triangle, this result is equivalent to saying that a tenn in one ro\v is the sum of the hvo tenns in
5 4 4
the ro\v above to the left and to the right (e.g. C3 = C2 + C).

The formula for "Cr

The fonnula for "C, can be proved by 1nathen1atical induction. (For a discussion of induction, see Chapter 9.)
When n = 4, ( 1 + x)4= 1 + 4x + 6.x2 + 4.x3 + x 4•
The ratios of successive coefficients are:

for r = 1 above).
Step3 Conclusion
S(n ) is true for r > 1 if S(n - 1) is true (Step 2)
S(2) is true (Step 1)
:. by induction, S(n ) is true for n > 2, r > 1

Binomial theorem-alternative approach

The expansion of (1 + x)" can be thought of as the product of n factors, each of ,vhich is ( 1 + x). The term containing
x' 1nust be found by selecting x out of any r of then factors and 1 out of the ren1aining (r - 1) factors. The coefficient
of x' is therefore equal to the number of ways of selecting r lots of x fron1 a total of n lots of x. Hence by definition
the coefficient of x' is "C, . By n1aking r = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... , n in succession you can obtain the coefficient of each tenn.
Thus:

• The expansion of (a + b)" contains (n + 1) tern1s. "C,a"-' b' is th e (r + 1)-th tenn and is called the

The tenns are alternately positive and negative.
• Because (a + b)" = (b + a) 11 and 11 C, = "C,,_, , any tenn fron1 one end of the expansion of (a + b)11 is the saine
tern1 counted fron1 the opposite end of the expansion of (b + a)".

CHAPTER 7
Rates of change and their application
7.1 RATES OF CHANGE WITH RESPECT TO TIME
The gradient as a rate of change ,vas introduced in the Mathen1atics Advanced course. This chapter will extend
that topic.
There are 1nany practical situations in which the change in a physical quantity can be described n1athematically. The
speed of a car depends on the rate at ,vhich the distance it travels changes ,vith respect to tin1e. The rate of change in
the population of Australia depends on the nun1ber of people alive at a given tiine, together ,vith the birth rate, the
death rate and the in1n1igration/emigration rate.
You have seen that the rate of change of a function is the derivative of that function. Hence if you have inforn1ation
about a real-life situation expressed as a function of time, then the rate of change of this can be calculated by finding
the derivative of this function.
Example 1

the time in minutes.
(a) How 1nuch ,vater is in the tank initially?
(b) If~~ gives the rate at ,vhich water flo,vs out from the bottom of the tank when a tap is opened, find ~~
and comment on your answer.
(c) How 1nuch tiine does it take for the tank to en1pty?
Solution
(a) t = 0: V = 25n: x 100 = 2500 1r1n3
(b) ~~ =-25n:
The water is flowing out of the tank at a constant rate.
(c) The tank is empty when V = 0: 25tr(l00 - t) = 0
t = 1001ninutes
This could also be solved by considering where the graph of V = 25n:( 100- t) cuts the t-axis.

7.2 VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION AS RATES OF CHANGE

Particle is the tern1 used for a body that behaves as if all forces acting on the body are acting through a single poin t.
This m eans that the body can be represented as a single poin t, regardless of its actual size an d shape. This definition
of a particle means that quite large bodies, e.g. trains, can still be classified as 'particles' provided this condition
applies.
Displacement
f-x- Consider a particle, represen ted by a point P, n1oving in a straigh t line X' OX.
The displacement x is the particle's position relative to the fixed point 0. It ,nay be a
X: 0 p X
A positive or negative n u1nber, according to whether Pis to the right or left of 0. The origin
of the n1otion is not necessarily at 0 , so ,vhen t = 0, P n1ay be (for example) at the point A.
Displacen1ent is defined as the position relative to a starting point. It can be positive or negative.
Displacen1ent is not necessarily the total distance travelled.
Unlike displacement, distance is al,vays a positive quantity.
Velocity
Consider the equation x = f (t), ,vhich gives the position coordinate x of a particle 1noving in a straight line at tin1e t.
x At tin1e t, the particle is at A, and at tin1e (t + h) the particle is at B, as sho,vn
in the d iagra1n. Thus in the small time interval h the particle has changed its

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of position (i.e. of displace1nent) with respect to tiine, or as
the tiine rate of change of position in a given direction.
Velocity can be positive or negative, depending on the direction of travel.
Speed is the magnitude of the velocity and is always positive.
Acceleration
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity \Vith respect to time.
Acceleration, like velocity, can be positive or negative.
Positive acceleration indicates that the velocity is increasing, \Vhile negative acceleration
indicates that the velocity is decreasing (\vhich is often called deceleration or retardation).
(Note: 'increasing velocity' is not necessarily 'faster speed'; it only n1eans acceleration in the direction of
positive displacement.)
If velocity is denoted by v(t), then the average acceleration over the tin1e interval fron1 t to (t + h) is v(t + h/2 - v (t )
The instantaneous acceleration at tin1e tis defined by liin v( t + hh - v(t). This ,nay be denoted by v'(t ), a(t),

7.3 EXPONENTIAL GROWTH AND DECAY

A quantity has exponential growth when it mcreases by a constant percentage of its whole over a given time period.
This means that the larger the quantity at the start, the bigger the increase ,viii be. For exan1ple: if a country of 100
1nillion people and a country of 10 n1illion people are each gro,ving their populations at an annual rate of 10%, then
the first country's population mcreases by 10 million next year ,vhile the second country's population increases by
only 1 million.
The following table shows values of x2 (quadratic growth) and 2• (exponential y

In 1972, a political think-tank called the Club of Ro1ne published The Limits to Gro~vth, a controversial but
influential study of the possible interactions behveen various kinds of linear and exponential gro,vth and decline in
global syste1ns of population, pollution, natural resources, food and other factors.
The general principle behind their models of exponential growth can be appreciated if you iinagine the vertical axis of
the exponential graph above to represent the growth of a quantity (e.g. population or pollution) and the horizontal axis
to represent tiine_ An increase of 1 unit of x ('tiine') fro1n x = 1 to x = 2 causes only a s1nall absolute increase in y, from
y = 2 toy = 4. You could in1agme this ,night represent world population growth in past centuries. Ho,vever, an mcrease
of one unit of 'tin1e' fron1 x = 10 to x = 11 causes y to increase by 1nore than 1000.
This illustrates the enorn1ous mcreases that can occur ,vhen an exponentially growing variable becomes large enough
to reach the steeply rising part of the curve. ( Of course, global population gro,vth is n1ore co1nplicated than a siinple
exponential curve, but the general principle of exponential change is the iinportant pomt to ren1e1nber.) Exponential
decline can be equally dramatic, which is one reason for concern about the use of non-rene,vable resources.

YEAR 11
There are many exan1ples of exponential growth and decay in the physical \Vorld, including population growth, the
growth of bacteria, radioactive decay, rates of heating and cooling, the decrease in at1nospheric pressure at higher
altitudes, the decrease in light intensity through \Vater or glass, and the fading a\vay of sound vibrations. In each
case, the quantities follow the exponential la\v (exactly or approxiinately):
• y = AIF for exponential growth

• y = Ae-1:x for exponential decay (or 'exponential decline').
For y = AIF, you have: 7x = kA/x

= f...y
.. 7x =ky is the exponential rate of change.
This n1eans that exponential growth occurs \Vhen the rate of change of a quantity y with respect to another quantity
xis proportional toy. For example:
• The rate of growth of a colony of bacteria is proportional to the nun1ber of bacteria N present at any tiine,
.,.e. dN
dt = kN
, .
• The rate of decay of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the 1nass of that isotope present at any tiine, i.e.
d:: =-kM. (The negative sign indicates decay, 1neaning the an1ount is reducing over tiine.)
• The rate of cooling of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the body and the
te1nperature of the surrounding medium, i.e.
(This is Newton's 'law of cooling'.)
!8 =-k0,
t
\Vhere 0 is the ten1perature difference at any tin1e.
• The rate of decrease of atn1ospheric pressure with respect to height above sea level is proportional to the
pressure at that height, i.e.1r = -kP.
• Light passing through a transparent 1nediu1n loses its intensity. The rate of loss of light intensity \Vith respect
to the distance is proportional to the light's intensity at the distance, i.e. ddl = -kl.
In each case there is a differential equation of the form
derivatives.
lx = f...y.

A differential equation is an equation that involves
It is iinportant to understand the role played by the constants A and kin the equation y = A!F.
• At x = 0, y = Ae0 = A, so if x > 0 then A is the initial value of y.
• Because :Yx = f...y, k is the growth rate and influences the slope of the curve.
For y=AIF: • A is the value of y when x =0 • k is the growth rate.

7.5 RELATED RATES OF CHANGE

Rates of change were introduced earlier in this chapter. You will now look at more sophisticated applications of rates
of change.
Problems with related rates arise when there is a function that relates two variables, e.g. x and y, where both
variables are also functions of another variable, e.g. tin1e t. For example, you may need to detern1ine 7t when ! is
known. In such cases it is necessary to use the chain rule, = x ~; . 7t Z
Re1ne1nber that in a context like this, 'increasing' means a positive rate of change while 'decreasing' 1neans a negative
rate of change.

8.1 SOLVING TRIGONOMETRIC EQUATIONS USING
THE AUXILIARY ANGLE METHOD
The auxiliary angle n1ethod of solving trigonometric equations involves changing an equation of the fonn
a sin x + b cos x = c into the forn1 r sin (x + a) = c, which is then easier to solve. In this fonn, a is called the
auxiliary angle.
This n1ethod can also be used to change acosx + bsinx = c into the fonn rcos(x +a)= c. In both cases, the
constants a, b, rand a are positive real nun1bers.
For exa1nple, to express a sinx + bcosx in the forn1 rsin (x + a):
Let asinx + bcosx = rsin (x + a)
= r(sinxcos a + cosxsin a)
= rsinxcos a+ rcosxsin a
This is an identity, so the coefficients of sinx and cosx on each side 1nust be the same.
1.e. a= rcos a
b = rsin a
a-, + b'- = ,-' (cos-, a+ sin
. 2 a)
2 2 2
Hence: r = a + b
r = ✓ a2 +b 2 because r is a positive real nun1ber.
From the coefficients, there is also cos a= a and sin a= b.
r r
As a and b are positive constants, so cos a and sin a are also positive. This also 1neans that a is in the first quadrant
. . . sina b
(1.e. 1t 1s an acute angle), such that tan a= - - = - .
COS(X a
Hence, the auxiliary angle method gives: asinx + bcosx = rsin (x + a)

which then allows you to obtain: asinx- bcosx = rsin (x - a)
a cosx + b sinx = rcos (x - a)
a cosx- b sinx = rcos (x + a)
In each case, r = ✓ a2 + b2 and a is an angle in the first quadrant such that tan a=~.

Example 1
Express: (a) ✓3sinx -cosx in the forn1 rsin (x- a) (b) 3 cosx - 4 sin x in the fonn rcos (x + a).

Exa1nple 1 illustrates two different auxiliary angle 1nethods that 1nay be used. You should practise both.
Important uses of the auxiliary angle method
• Writing asinx + bcosx in the forn1 rsin (x + a) tells you that the greatest and least values of the function are
rand -r respectively. This makes sketching functions like y = a sinx + bcosx n1uch easier.
• Writing a sin x + b cos x in the forn1 r sin (x + a) allows you to solve equations of the type a sin x + b cos x = c.
Example 2

(Note the slight difference in the answers due to the rounding error \Vhen solving the quadratic equation.)
Because t = tan ~ is undefined at x = n:, you must no\v separately test whether x = 180° is a solution.
x = 180° : LHS = 8 cos 1r + 6 sin 1r = -8 + 0 = -8 ~ RHS
Hence x = 180° is not a solution of the equation.
Important note:
If you use the t forn1ulae substitution to solve equations of the type acosx + b sinx = c, you 1nust also test to see
\vhether x = +nrr is a solution of the equation. The use of the t formulae to solve a variety of equations will be

CHAPTER 9
Proof by mathematical induction
The nature of proof by induction
You can often see that a particular pattern see1ns to apply to a situation, and you n1ay then atten1pt to fonnulate a
rule that applies to that situation. For example, you might note that 1 is a factor of 420, so is 2, so is 3, so is 4 and so
is 5. Fro1n these observations you n1ight n1ake the statement that 'every positive integer is a factor of 420; or in other
words 'n is a factor of 420 for all positive integers n'. This staten1ent is clearly wrong: n = 9 is a counter-example
which proves that the staten1ent is false (because 9 is a positive integer and not a factor of 420).
It only takes one counter-example to disprove a general statement.
For exa1nple, can you find counter-examples to disprove the following staten1ents?
2
• n + n + 11 is a prin1e nu1nber for all integers n > 1.
• n2 - n + 41 is a prin1e nu1nber for all integers n > 1.
More in1portantly: holv do you prove that a general statement is true? Even if you demonstrate that a staten1ent is true
for the first 1000000 cases, that would still not prove the state1nent to be true in all cases.
Mathematical induction is a method of proof that can be used in exactly these circu1nstances (for example, to prove
that so1nething is true for all positive integers n, or for all positive integers n greater than a specified starting value,
or for all positive odd integers n).
A proof by induction consists of a three-step process, the final step being a conclusion.
1 Prove that the state1nent is true in the first case possible.

2 Prove that if the staten1ent is true in any one case (i.e. for n = k), then it must also be true in the next case
(i.e. for n = k + 1, or for n = k + 2 if the state1nent is true for even integers only, etc.).
3 Write a conclusion:
The staten1ent is true for n = k + 1 if it is true for n = k. (As proved in step 2.)
The staten1ent is true for n = 1 (i.e. for the first possible case). (As proved in step 1.)
Thus the statement is true for all integers n > 1.
In step 2 it is proven that there is the potential for a 'chain reaction' to occur: if it is true for any one case then it is
also true for the next case, ,vhich 1neans that it is also true for the case after that, and so on forever.
In step 1 it is proven that it is true in the first case: this is like flicking the switch to start a chain reaction or pushing
over the first domino of an infinite line of dominoes. The infinite cascade of falling do1ninoes 1neans that the
statement is true for all appropriate values of n fron1 the starting value to infinity.
You will now look at several different types of problems that require proof by induction.

LHS =(k+ 1) + (k+2} + ... +2k+ (2k+ 1) +(2k + 2)

Now you h ave a problen1! At this poin t you need to u se the substitution of line [a], but you are 1nissin g the

9.2 PROVING DIVISIBILITY BY INDUCTION

The following points are essential for understanding a proof by induction where the assertion involves divisibility.
• If an integer N is divisible by an integer d, then N = d x q, where q is an integer.
For exan1ple, 18 is divisible by 3 because 18 = 3 x 6 (where 6 is an integer). But 19 is not divisible by 3 even
!
though 19 =3 x 61 , because 6 is not an integer.
• The integers are closed under addition, subtraction an d 1nultiplication. This means that whenever you add,
subtract or m ultiply integers, the ans,ver ,viii always be another integer. This is not true for division: son1e
divisions of integers give integer answers, but others do not.

Prove by induction that 4 - 1 is divisible by 3 for all integers n > 1.
Solution
Let S(n) be the statement that 4" - 1 is divisible by 3 for integer n.
4 1 - 1 = 3, ,vhich is divisible by 3. (Note: The LHS- RHS style of proof can't be used here. )
: . S(l) is true.
Step 2 Assu1ne S( k ) is true for an integer k > 1.

Le. assume that 4k- 1 = 3M where Mis an integer
4k=3M + l [a]
Now prove that S(k + 1) is true if S(k) is true.

1
i.e. prove that 4k+ - 1 is divisible by 3
4k+ 1 - 1 = 4X4k- l
using [a]: =4(3M + 1) -1
= 12M + 3
= 3(4M + 1) ,vhich is divisible by 3, because it is a multiple of
3 and 4M + 1 is an integer (as integers are closed
under 1nultiplication and addition).
Step 3 Conclusion
:. by induction, S(n ) is true for all integers n > 1.
Example 5
Prove by induction that 3" + 7" is divisible by 10 for all positive odd integers n.
Solution
11
Let S(n) be the statement that 3" + 7 is divisible by 10 for positive odd integer n.
3 1 + 7 1 = 10, which is divisible by 10.
:. S( 1) is true.
Step 2 Assu1ne S(k) is true for an odd in teger k > 1.

i.e. assun1e that 3k + i = l OM where Mis an integer
3k = lOM - 7k [a] (Note: i could have been made the subject instead of3k.)
Now prove that S(k + 2) is true if S(k) is true.

YEAR12
(Note the S(k + 2) instead of S(k + 1), as this is \Vorking \Vith odd integer values of n.)
i.e. prove that 3k+2+ 7k+2 is divisible by 10

3k+2+ 7k+2= 32 X 3k + 72 X ~
using [a]: =9(10M-7k) +49x 7k

= 90M - 9 X 7k + 49 X 7k
=90M +40x7k
= 10(9M +4x 7k)
This is divisible by 10, because it is a 1nultiple of 10 and 9M + 4 x 7k is an integer.
Step 3 Conclusion

9.3 WHEN INDUCTION DOESN'T WORK

A single counter-example is enough to disprove a result.
Some proofs by 1nathe1natical induction seem to be correct, but turn out to be incorrect. The most likely reason is that you
have failed to prove step 1, Le. that the result is true at the beginning (usually for n = 1). This means that the asswned result
(n = k) is false, so when you prove the result true for n = k + 1, you are proving it from an incorrect asswnption.
Example 6
Let S(n) be the statement: n 2 - n is an odd integer, for all positive integers n.
(a) Sho\v that if S(k) is true, then S(k + 1) is true. (b) Is S( l ) true? (c) Is S(n) true for any n?
Solution
2
(a) Let S(k) be that k k is an odd integer.
-
Statement: S(k + 1): (k + 1)2- (k + 1) is an odd integer.
(k + 1)2-(k+ 1)
=(k + l )(k+ 1-1)
=k(k+ 1)
2
=k -k+2k
=S(k) + 2k
=Odd + Even = Odd
Hence the result is true for n = k + 1 if it is true for n = k.
2
(b) S( l ) is that 1 - 1 is an odd integer and since this result is 0, then S( l ) is false.
2
(c) S(n) is never true because when n is even, n - n is even, and when n is odd, n 2 - n is even.
Example 7
Use 1nathen1atical induction to prove that 2" - 1 is prin1e if n is prin1e.
Solution
Using a table of values to explore this for son1e values of n:
This suggests that the result \Vorks, although finding a pattern for the priine nwnbers for n is not possible.
The next priine values for n are 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, ...
Any non-prin1e value for 2" - 1 is enough to say the original staten1ent is false. Testing these values finds
for n = 11: 211 - 1 =2047. As 2047 =23 x 89, this is not priine, so the initial assun1ption is false.
The result can not be proved by mathe1natical induction.

10.1 INTRODUCTION TO VECTORS
Vectors give you a way to 1nove around the Cartesian plane by moving a certain distance in a particular direction, by
considering the direction to be split into horizontal and vertical parts. For example, if you \Valk 40 m east, then 30 m
north, how far are you from your starting point, and in what direction?
This concept has many applications in Physics and is expanded to three diinensions in the Mathematics Extension 2
course. Vectors are used in kinen1atics and dynalnics (,notion), hydrodynan1ics (n1otion of a fluid), heat flo\v iI1
solids, electron1agnetism and 1nany other real-life scientific applications.
Scalar quantities and vector quantities

A scalar quantity is one that is completely specified by its magnitude (size) and, if appropriate, its unit of
1neasurement. Exan1ples of scalar qual1tities include n1ass, length, speed, temperature and tiine.
Note that ten1perature is a scalar quantity, even though it ,nay have a negative value (dependmg on the n1easurement
scale bemg used). A negative ten1perature value indicates its relative magnitude and does not in1ply that te1nperature
is oriented in any 'direction'.
A vector quantity is one that is con1pletely described by its magnitude and direction (and, if appropriate, its unit of
1neasurement). Exalnples of vector quantities include:
• displacement (change in position of an object)
• velocity (tim e rate of chal1ge of displace1nent or position)
• acceleration ( tin1e rate of change of velocity)
• force (a push or a pull that can affect the ,notion of an object)
• weight (the gravitational force acting on an object- this is not the sa1ne as the 1nass of all object, which is
scalar)
• n1on1entu1n (the product of an object's mass and velocity).
Consider the vector quantity of displace1nent. In order to fully specify the displacement of all object, it is necessary
to ki10\v how far it is fro1n its starting pomt (magnitude) and the direction in which it has n1oved.

Vectors and vector notation

A vector quantity can be represented by a directed straight line head B
segn1ent with an arro\vhead (on the line seg1nent) indicating its
direction and the length of the line indicating its magnitude.

Position vectors on the Cartesian plane )'

P(x,y )
A position vector is a vector drawn with its tail at 0, the origin. Position
vectors are used to represent points by a distance and a direction rather
than two nun1bers (the coordinates). You can draw position vectors on the
Cartesian plane and represent them with ordered pairs as ,veil as a length
and a direction. 0 X
The position vector of any point P(x, y) relative to a fixed origin O on

the Cartesian plane is uniquely specified by the vector OP, as sho,vn in
the diagran1. That is, the vector OP represents the position vector of point
P(x, y) relative to 0.

10.4 SCALAR PRODUCT OF VECTORS

The scalar product (also called the dot product or the inner product) is a way of multiplying hvo vectors. The
result of this 1nultiplication is a scalar quantity (with magnitude but no direction). The scalar product of hvo vectors
!! and~ is written as!! • ~ (read as'!! dot~').
There is also another product operation on vectors, the vector product or cross product, which is \Vritten as!! x ~
(read as 'i:! cross~'). The result of this multiplication is a vector quantity. This is beyond the scope of this course.
If 8 is the angle between the positive directions of two

vectors ':! and ~' then the scalar product is defined to -a
be!! • ~= l!!ll ~Icos 8.
-b

For a straight angle, 8= tr, so!! • ~= - l!!ll ~Ias cos 7r= -1.

Special cases of the scalar product

Parallel vectors
If~ and~ are parallel vectors in the san1e direction, then~ • ~= 1~1~1cos 0°. -a

b
Ascos0°= 1, this 1neans: i;! • q = li:! llql
If':! and~ are parallel vectors but in opposite directions, then: ~ • ~ = 1~11~1cos,r -a
-b
Equal vectors
If~ = ~' then 8 = 0 (just as for any parallel vectors), so the scalar product is the 1nagnitude squared:
':! • ':! = li:! ll i:! lcosoo - - ~ --

= li:! ll i:! I -b
Perpendicular vectors
Two vectors are said to be perpendicular or orthogonal if the angle behveen their directions is a right angle (90°).
If':! and qare perpendicular vectors, then:':! • q= li:! llq lcos 1
= l~ll ~lx 0 -a
=0
Also, if i;! • ~ = li:! llqlcos8 = 0, then li:! I = 0 or lql = 0 or 8 = ; .

-b
This leads to an important property of perpendicular vectors: if the scalar product of two non-zero vectors is zero,
then the vectors are perpendicular.
If~ • ~= 0 for non-zero vectors~ and~' then~ an d~ are perpendicular.
An in1portant property of the unit vectors i and j is that they are perpendicular, so that i • j = j • i = 0.

Also, using the property of parallel vectors: i •i = j • j = 1.
Scalar product for vectors in component form

In co1nponent fonn, for~= x 1f + y 1j and~ = x 2f + y2 j, the scalar product is:

= X1X2 + Y1Y2 as f•f = j • j = 1 and f • j = j • £= 0
- -
Consider hvo vectors, ':!= x 1f + y 1j making an angle 81 with the x-axis and q= x 2 £+ y 1j making an angle 82 with
the x-axis. The angle behveen the vectors is e= el - 82. -

Algebraic properties of the scalar product

The scalar product has the follo,ving algebraic properties.

This property follows immediately fro1n the definition q • ~= It:! 11 ~1cos 0, since lt:! Il~I = l~ ll t:! I·
2 The associative la,v, including multiplication by a scalar:
(mq) • ~ = m( q • ~).where m is a real nun1ber.
This property also follo,vs directly fron1 the definition, although it is necessary to distinguish the
cases m < 0 and m > 0.
3 The distributive law:
':! . (~+~) =':! . ~+q• ~
The distributive law can be verified using the geo1netric interpretation of the scalar product and assuming
that the projections of~ and ~ on q are both positive.

11.2 INDEFINITE INTEGRALS AND SUBSTITUTION

Some integrals can only be solved using particular substitutions for the variables. In this Mathematics Extension 1
course, any substitutions needed to find an integral are given.
Integration using a substitution can be considered as the converse of the method of differentiating a con1posite
function- it's like using the chain rule backwards.
The aim of a substitution is to transfonn an integral into one that involves a standard result,
f
e.g. u" du= n ~ u"+' + C. Variable substitution works as follows:
1
Let f
y = f(u)du whereu=g(x)
. Yu=J(u)
But dy = dy x du
dx du dx
du
= f(u)x dx
du
f y= f(u)x dxdx
JJ(u) x ~~ dx = Jf (u)du
This 'backwards' fonn of the chain rule is convenient when the substitution of u = g(x) allo,vs a function to be
expressed as the product of: and a function of u. For exan1ple:
2
• Iff(x) = 2x (x
3
- 1)4 then you can substitute u = x
3
- 1. As ~~ = 3x2, you can ,vrite 2x2 as ~ x 3x 2, so that
f(x) is written: f(x)= ~(x 3 -1) 4 x(3x 2 )
= 2.u4 du where u = x 3 -1
3 dx
2 2
• If f (x) = x ../1 + x 2 , you can see that 2x is the derivative of 1 + x , so if you n1ake the substitution u = 1 + x
1
and write x as (2x) , then f (x) = 1u½ ~~ where u = 1 + x2 and~~ = 2x.

YEAR 12
1
• If f (x) = x
2 + 3
, you can see that 2x + 2 is the derivative of x2 + 2x, so if you make the substitution
(x + 2x)
u = x2 + 2x and write x + 1 as 1(2x + 2), then f ( x) = 1u- ~~- 3
• If f ( x ) = x../1- x , then you can 1nake the substitution u = 1 -x. As x = 1 - u, ~~ = - 1, so:

f(x)= -x✓l - x x (- 1)
l du
= -(l - u)u 2 x dx

11.3 DEFINITE INTEGRALS AND SUBSTITUTION

When using a substitution to evaluate a definite integral you n1ust take care with the li1nits of integration. The
original li1nits are for values for x, bu t after su bstitution the variable will beco1ne u (or som e other new variable), so
the lin1its sin1ilarly need to becon1e values for u (or the other new variable). To do this, su bstitute the lin1its into the
change-of-variable equation to find the lin1its for the new variable.

or x = a cos 0 ,vill help to find the integral. If an expression of the forn1 a + x occurs in the integrand, then the
standard substitution is x = a tan 0.

Bernie Fitzpatrick, the original author of this series, once \Vrote: 'Mathematics is about doing, not about reading'.
This chapter brings together n1any skills learnt across the Mathe1natics Advanced and Extension 1 courses and asks
you to apply them in practical situations.
Differential equations involve derivatives, so to be able to solve them you 1nust be proficient at integration. These
integrations often involve the exponential and logarith1nic functions, so you must know the rules needed to
manipulate these functions. You 1nust be confident with a high level of algebraic n1anipulation, so1netimes involving
several levels of algebraic fractions. When integrating the trigono1netric functions you need to be able to apply the
appropriate Pythagorean identities, as \veil as the appropriate double angle fonnulae. If the integration required is
beyond this course, then appropriate guidance is given in the question.
We hope you enjoy the challenges involved.
12.1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

The study of differential equations began in the late 1600s with Sir Isaac Newton's investigation of the orbits of the
planets about the Sun. Newton referred to these equations as 'fluxional equations'. The tern1 differential equation
was suggested by Newton's conte1nporary, Gottfried Leibniz, who did n1uch of the early work on them.
A differential equation is an equation that relates some unknown differentiable function to one or 1nore of its
derivatives.
For exa1nple, the general fonn of the first-order differential equation y'(t) =f(t, y(t)) expresses the rate of change
of a quantity y(t) in tenns of t\vo variables: th e tin1e t and the value of the quantity y(t) itself.
Differential equations are a powerful way to represent, understand and predict the behaviour of variable quantities,
including syste1ns that change with tin1e.
Whereas the solution of an algebraic equation such as x + I = 0 is a nu1nber, the solution of a differential equation
is a function. More specifically, the solution of a differential equation will be a differentiable function y =g(x) if the
differential equation is true when y and its derivatives are replaced with g(x) and its derivatives.
A solution of the differential equation ddy = J( x, y) is any differentiable function y = g(x) with a derivative
d X
fx = g'(x) so thatg'(x) = f(x,g(x)) for allx e (a, b).
In other words, substituting the solution y = g(x) into the differential equation will reduce Jx = f( x, y) to an
identity in the independent variable x, for all values of this variable in some open interval of the x -axis. Therefore:
To verify that a function y =g(x) is a solution of a differential equation, you can substitute the function and its
derivative(s) into both sides of the differential equation and check that both sides are identically equal.

Verification of a solution to a differential equation
Example 1
Verify by differentiation that y = 3e- x is a solution of the differential equation Z -y.
=
Solution
Calculate the LHS of the equation: LHS = Z Calculate the RHS of the equation: RHS = - y
= -3e- x
= -3e- x
The LHS of the equation is identically equal to the RHS of the equation for all relevant values of the
independent variable.
Graphing particular members of a general solution
Example 2
Graph the following n1en1bers of the one-para1neter general solution y = Ae- x ,vith A e {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}.
Solution y
The graph is drawn for A= -3, i.e., y =-3e-x.

Next, separate graphs are dra,vn on the sa1ne axes for the
other given values of A: y = -2e-x, y = -3e-x, etc. This should
give the set of graphs shown. X
A particular solution (or solution curve) of a differential equation is a unique function that is found by giving
specific values to the paran1eters in the general solution. The paraineters in the solution are chosen so that the
particular solution satisfies one or n1ore extra require1nents called initial conditions or initial values. Initial
conditions are also so1netimes called boundary values.
Every particular solution of a first-order differential equation is the unique solution of an appropriate initial value
problem.
y' = f(t,y(t))
An initial value problem of a first-order differential equation: y(a) =Ya
t e [a,b]
consists of the differential equation together ,vith its initial condition, requiring you to detennine a particular
solution y(t) over a specific in terval of the independent variable a< t < b.

by the differential equation ~7
= -3m + 4e- 21.
The first tenn on the RHS represents the rate at which the 1nedication is absorbed from the blood into the body and
the second tern1 represents the rate at which the 1nedicine enters the bloodstrean1. (This is exponential because it is
rapid at first, as most of the pill dissolves, then later becomes slower when only a small an1ount of the pill ren1ains.)

10 The population of fish in a lake is initially 10 000. The population \vould increase at a rate of 20% per year,
except that there is fishing quota of k fish per year taken fron1 the lake. The population P after t years is
modelled by the solution of the differential equation:
dP = .! P- k \Vith P = IO 000 when t = 0.
dt 5
Here, k is the constant nun1ber of fish re1noved from the lake each year d ue to fishing (the fishing quota).
(a) If the fishing quota is set at k = 1000 per year, verify by differentiation that the nun1ber of fish in the lake
I
t years later will be P(t) = 5000(1 + e }.

(b) Alternatively, if the fishing quota is set at k = 3000 per year, verify by differentiation that the nu1nber of
t
fish in the lake t years later \viii be P(t) = 5000(3 - es).
More generally, you can assu1ne an arbitrary but fixed fishing quota of k fish per year. ,
(c) Verify by differentiation that the nu1nber of fish in the lake t years later \viii be P(t) =5(k + (2000 - k)es).
(d) Hence choose a fishing quota of k fish per year to maintain the fish population at its initial value of 10 000.
12.2 DIRECTION FIELDS

Qualitative (or graphical) methods of solution
Qualitative m ethods are a set of graphical methods to describe the general behaviour of the solution to a
differential equation without solving the equation.
Recall that dy is the slope of the curve at any point (x,y). A differential equation, such as ddxy = f(x ,y) , can be
dx
thought of as a definition of the values of the slope of the tangent to the solution curve for possible values of x and y.
This enables us to sketch the graphical features of the solution. The graph sho\ving the gradient at different points is
called the direction field or the slope field.
Direction field construction on a rectangular grid

This n1ethod involves the follo\ving two steps:
1 Evaluate the derivative for a carefully selected set of points (x, y).
2 At each point (x, y), draw a short line segment of slope : .

YEAR 12
Example 7

Construct the slope field of dx = xy on the grid: (0,0) (0,1) (0,2) (0,3)

(2,0) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3)
(3,0) (3,1) (3,2) (3,3)
Solution
dy = J(x, y) = xy is evaluated for each point using integer values for x an d y.
dX d
For example, at the point (O, 0), k
= xy = 0 x O= 0.
Therefore, if the curve goes through (O, O), its gradient at that point will be 0.
. dy
At the poin t (2, 3), dx = xy = 2 x 3 = 6.
Therefore, if the curve goes through (2, 3), its gradient at that point will be 6.
All the gradients are calculated
f(O,O) =0 f(0,1)=0 f (0,2) =0 f(0,3)=0
f( l,0)=0 f( l, l)=l f(l,2)=2 f(l,3)=3

Solution
The behaviour of the derivative is considered for different values of x and y.
At x = 0 (the y-axis), 1x = f..y, so 1x will be positive where y is positive and negative where y is negative.
This eliminates C.
If x > 0 and y > 0, 1x will be positive and increases as x increases. : also increases as y increases.
This eliminates A and B.
Further analysis will sho,v that D is consistent with ix = x + ky, k > 0.

Solution
Consider ho\v the slope lines are changing and whether this is consistent with each proposed option.
By exrunining option A, if x > 0 and y > 0, the slope is positive ru1d if xis constant (any horizontal ro\v) , so the
slope should increase as x increases. However, if a horizontal ro\v is exan1ined, the slope decreases as
x increases. This also rules out option B.
Alternatively, the gradient in the slope field is undefined where x = 0, yet the derivatives in options A ru1d B are
defined and zero where x = 0.
For options C and D, if x > 0 and y > 0 the slope is expected to be positive. This is consistent \vith the slope field.
The gradients are undefined where x = 0, which is also consistent with the slope field.
The difference between these two options is the power of y.
If x > 0 and y > 0, the slope should increase as y increases, which cru1 be seen by examining any vertical column.
If x > 0 and y < 0, the slope in C will be positive and increase as y increases, but the slope in D \viii be negative
and decrease (become m ore negative, i.e. steeper) as y increases. By looking at the fourth quadrant, it can be
seen that option C correctly predicts the behaviour of the slope.

12.3 SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF THE FORM t= f(x)

The previous section investigated techniques used to develop a graphical and/or numerical representation of the
solution to a differential equation. However, the 1nost convenient solution (when it is available) is an expression for
the dependent variable as an explicit function of the independent variable or as an iinplicit relation between the
dependent and independent variables. This section covers a nu1nber of powerful techniques capable of determining
these analytical solutions.
Solving dy = f(x ) given y(a) = Ya

dx
Begin with the directly integrable case Z=f (
x) where y is an unkno,vn function of x and f (x) is a given function
of x. Wherever f (x) is a continuous function over an interval, y(x) can be detern1ined by using an appropriate
integration technique.

Finding the particular solution of a directly integrable problen1 ix = J(x), y(a) = Ya involves the follo\ving
two-step procedure.
1 Integrate \Vith respect to tlle independent variable.
That is, y = F(x) + c where F(x) = f J(x )dx and c is the constant of integration.
2 Use the initial condition to solve the constant of integration.
That is, (x, y) = (a, y.) :. Ya= F(a) + c.
Therefore, y = F(x) + Ya - F(a).
Rearranging the previous equation, the final result is y(x) =Ya+ F(x) - F(a).

12.4 SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF THE FORM t= g(y)
Models that describe systen1s exhibiting growth or decay have the fonn :Z = g (y). In other words, the rate of
growth :Z in the dependent variable y is a functiong(y) of the variable y alone. The function g(y) on the right-hand
side of such a differential equation has no explicit dependence on the independent variable x.
To solve :Z = given that
g (y) = consideration has to be given to two separate cases.
y(O) y 0,
Case I: g(y0 ) =0
If g(y0 ) = 0, then y(x) = y 0. In other words, the solution y(x) = y 0 is not dependent on the independent variable, so it
is variously called the stationary solution, the steady state solution, or the equilibriun1 solution, y,.
Case II: g (y 0 ) *0
The n1odel :Z = g(y) can be transforn1ed to a directly integrable forn1 ( k_) = t = gty) by taking the reciprocal
of both sides, wherever g(y0) * 0. dx
The solution of this new equation gives x(y) , so the variable xis 110\v a function of y. In other words, the roles of the
dependent and independent variables in the original equation
. dx 1
:Z = g (y) have been exchanged in the transforn1ed
equation dy = g(y)"
Recall that exchanging the roles of dependent and independent variables in any relationship, such as y = fix),
requires the existence of an appropriate inverse function f - 1• In other \Vords, y = f(x) <=> x = f - 1(y), provided f is a
one-to-one function on an interval, \Vhich requiresj(x) * 0 inside that interval. In this problem, g(y) defines ix=
y as an invertible (i.e. one-to -one) function of x on an interval, wherever g(y) * 0 for any value of the variable y in
the said solution. Therefore, the solution x = g(y) of'; =

can al\vays be inverted to give the solution y = g- (x)

of the original problem lx

= g(y) on any interval of ywhere g(y) 0. *
A number of these kinds of differential equations will be investigated.
To find the particular solution of ix = g (y), y(a) = y 0 , g(y) * 0, requires the following five-step procedure:
• Takethereciprocalofbothsidesofz =g(y)toobtain t = gty) withx=awherey=y•.
• Integrate both sides of the equation \Vith respect to the new independent variable y:
ft dy = f gly) dy
x + c = G(y) where G'(y) = gly) and c is a constant of integration.

• Where possible, invert the equation fro1n previous step to find the general solution for the origin al dependent
variable y in tenns of the original in dependent variable x:
x + c= G(y)
:. y= G"1(x + c)
• Substitute the initial condition (x, y) = (a, y) into the equation obtained in the previous step to evaluate the
constant of integration c: :. Ya= G" 1(a + c).
• Substitute the value of the constant into the general solution obtain ed in the previous step to obtain the
particular solution.

Example 16
Find the solution of ix = 2 y, given that where x = 0, y = 3.
Solution
• Take the reciprocal of both sides of the equation: • Sin1plify and express \Vith y as a function of x:
dx 1
dy = 2y x + ~ log, 3 = ~ log, Iy I
• Integrate with respect to y: 2x = log, 11 1- Iog, 3
x + c = ~log, 11 1
Logarith1ns are only defined for positive
2x = log, 3 lzl
quantities, so the absolute value sign is used.
w = e2x
• Substitute kI10\vn values of x and y, 3
x = O,y= 3: IYI= 3e2x
O+ c = -21 log , 3 This gives two solutions.
If y > 0, IYI = y = 3e2x
If y < 0, IYI = -y = 3e2x : . y = -3e2x
Con1plete solution is: y = +3e2x
Example 17
Find the particular solution of dt = -r(y-s), given that y(O) = y with r, s >
0 0 positive constants.
Solution
Take the reciprocal of both sides and transpose -r:
-r-dt = -1-
dy y -s
Integrate both sides with respect to the original dependent variable y:
-r f ddt dy

Rearrange to find the general solution:
11 -sl = e' e-''

12.5 SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF THE FORM 'f = f(x)g(y)
USING SEPARATION OF VARIABLES x
Towards the end of his life, the great Swiss mathe1natician and teacher )'
Johann Bernoulli ( 1667- 1748) published his lectures on calculus.

In Bernoulli's discussion of integral calculus, he posed the following question:
)' = f(x)
What curve y j(x) has a subtangent ST (see diagrain at right) at any point
P that is al\vays equal to a positive multiple, a > 0, of the abscissa OS at the
point P?
The tenn abscissa is the fonnal name for the x-coordinate of point P.
()
In other words, Bernoulli is asking for the curves \Vith ST = aOS. T 0 s N X
Bernoulli's question can be rewritten using a more modern notation.

It follo\vs fron1 the right-angled t.SPT that ST = SP .
tan 0
However, TP is a tangent line to the curve y = j(x) at point P, given by tan 0 = Z.
SP is the ordinate (they-value) of point P.
Therefore: ST = t:; t)
0 = (
ST = aOS :. y = ax
(Z)
Solving for the derivative in this equation gives ddy = L.
X ax
In so1ne \vays, this problen1 is slightly n1ore co1nplicated than the equations solved so far because it has the forn1
t = f (x )g (y ). Both the independent and the dependent variables appear as separate factors in the derivative Z.
In this section you \vill learn how to answer Bernoulli's question. You will learn how to solve any first-order
differential equation of the forn1 Z= f (x )g( y ). The key to solving these equations is the separation of the t\vo
variables onto either side of the equality.

YEAR12
In other words, to solve Z = f (x )g(y ), transpose the equation so that all tenns involving the dependent variable
are on the left side of the equality and all tern1s involving the independent variable are on the right side.
This would give gty) Z = f(x).
In the table belo\v, the original equation is in the left-hand colu1nn \vhile the equation \Vith variables separated is in
the right-hand colu1nn.

In the exan1ple above, the solution y = 1 is an exa1nple of a so-called singular solution because it is not part of
the general solution for any allowable value of the constant of integration. However, the singular solutions of
Jx = f (x )g(y) are often of the form y = y * for son1e root k of the equation J(y*) = O. The singular solutions are
also usually evident fron1 an investigation of the slope field.

To solve the first-order differential equation Z= f (y} g( x) by the n1ethod of separation of variables:

Add the constant of integration C to the side with the independent variable. This is the general solution.
4 Wherever possible, you should represent the dependant variable as an explicit function of the independent
variable. However, you ,nay need to be satisfied with an equation that determines the dependant variable as an
implicit function of the independent variable.
5 If an initial condition y(a) =b is given, solve for the constant of integration C. This is the particular solution.
You have now learnt two different n1ethods to solve the differential equation Z= f (y ).
The reciprocal method

1 Take the reciprocal of both sides of ix= f (y) to obtain t = f(y)"
2 Integrate the result with respect toy to obtain f t dy = f f (y) dy.

2 Integrate the result with respect to x to obtain f (y) ix = f

f dx dx or I f (y) dy = I dx.
Each of the two 1nethods above give the original independent variable x as a function of the original dependent

Models of uninhibited growth

The British econonlist Tho1nas R. Malthus ( 1766- 1834) proposed a 1nodel of natural population gro\vth that asswnes that
both the birth rate and the death rate of a population are proportional to the current size of the population at each instant.
Consequently, the net rate of change in population can be restated as:
'net rate of change in population = birth rate - death rate'.
In other words: Let P(t) represent the size of a population at time t. Assun1ing that the population level is specified at
the initial tiine t = 0 as P(O) = P0, predict the population at later times t.

Newton's law of cooling

Ne\vton's law of cooling states that the time rate of decrease in the te1nperature T of an object varies directly with
the difference between the object's ten1perature and the a1nbient temperature ( the ten1perature of the surrounding
1nediu1n, T,,).
dT
Therefore: dt = -r(T - T. ), r > 0, T (O) = T0
If T0 > T., the body's mitial te1nperature is higher than the te1nperature of its surrounding, so the body is cooling.
The model predicts that the body will cool quickly at first, reducing the excess of its ten1perature to that of the
surrounding environment. This cooling reduces the excess ten1perature of the body, thus continually slowing its rate
of cooling.
However, if T 0 < T., then the body's initial temperature is lower than th e temperature of its surroundings, so the
body is wanning. Again, this change in te1nperature reduces the te1nperature difference \vith the surroundmg
1nediu1n, thus slowing the rate of warn1ing.

Modelling the time dependence of a conserved substance

Differential equations can be used to n1odel the time behaviour of a conserved quantity within a confined region of
space, if you know the rate at which the quantity flo\vs into and out of the region. Such models are of great practical
value in the fields of Science and Engineering.
If a substance m is conserved (that is, neither created nor destroyed), then the rate of change of m within a
confined region (called a control volume) is equal to the difference between the rate at which it flo\vs into the
region (Rin), and the rate at which it flows out of the region (R001). That is, ~7
= R;n -R0111 •
Consider the situation shown at right: q i.n

by the solution of differential equation ~7

16 Ahnost all carbon in the \Vorld is carbon- 12, \Vhich is the 1nost common stable 'isotope' (nuclear form)
of carbon. In the late 1940s the A1nerican scientist Willard Libby studied carbon-14, which is not stable:
it radioactively decays according to the reaction 14 C ➔ 14 N + e- + v,, in \Vhich a neutron spontaneously
transforn1s into a proton (thus changing the ato1n fron1 carbon C to nitrogen N) as it emits an electron and
an antineutrino. In the upper attnosphere, carbon- 12 son1etiines transforn1s back into carbon-14 due to
interactions with cosmic rays, so the proportion of both isotopes in the atmosphere stays relatively constant.
But whenever carbon is absorbed by plants to becon1e part of living organis1ns in the \Vorld the carbon- 12 is
n1ostly shielded fron1 transfonning into carbon- 14. This 1neans that when an organisn1 dies, its concentration

The inverse den1and curve of a product n1easures the selling price p(q) in tern1s of the available supply q. The

Motion, forces and projectiles
13.1 PROBLEMS INVOLVING DISPLACEMENT AND VELOCITY
Displacement
When considering the ,notion of an object, you need to consider the position of the object, how fast it is travelling
and the cause of the motion.
The position of an object n1ust be defined relative to a reference point, \Vhich is usually its starting point. The
position can be described by both its distance and its direction from the starting point. This is a vector quantity,
called displacement. On the other hand, if you are only concerned with how far the object has travelled then the
direction can be ignored, so you can consider the distance travelled by the object. The international syste1n of units
(SI) uses the metre (n1) as the standard unit for displace1nent and for distance. Other common SI units include the
centiinetre (c1n), n1illi1netre (mm) and kilometre (kn1).
For exa1nple, if you walk around a square park of side length 500 m, the distance you travel is 2000111. Ho\vever, as
you arrive back at your starting point, your displace1nent is zero.
Velocity
The rate at \Vhich the displacement of an object changes \Vith respect to tin1e can be described by the vector quantity
velocity. As a vector quantity, velocity is defined by its 1nagnitude and direction. The 1nagnitude of velocity is the
scalar quantity speed. The SI standard unit for velocity and speed is 1netres per second (n1/s or ,ns- 1). Another
co1n1non unit is kilometres per hour (km/h or kn1 h - I).
The average velocity of an object between two positions is defined as:
. change in position displacen1ent

average ve ocity = ti1ne taken = ti1ne
On the other hand, the average speed between two points is defined as:
average speed = dist~nce t~velled
t1n1e ta en
---------
+ 3.6
Note: Speed ,nay need to be converted from ms-1 tokinh- 1 or fro1n kmh- 1 to n1s-1:
For exa1nple: 90kinh- 1 = 90 x 1000 + (60 x 60) = 90 + 3.6 = 25 n1s-1
and 15n1s-1 = 15 x 3.6 = 54km h- 1• X 3.6
• Displacement is the change in position of an object relative to its starting point. It is a vector quantity \Vith
both magnitude an d direction.
• Distance is ho\v far an object has travelled. It is a scalar quantity with 1nagnitude only.
• Velocity is the rate at \Vhich the displacement of an object is changing with respect to tin1e. It is a vector
quantity with both magnitude an d direction.
• Speed is the magnitude of the object's velocity. It is a scalar quantity \Vith 1nagnitude only.

13.2 PROBLEMS INVOLVING FORCES

Forces exist everywhere and are funda111ental to the structure of the universe and to the nature of 111atter.
A force can be thought of as a push or a pull acting on an object For most siI11ple objects, it is reasonable to consider
the forces to be acting through a single point at the object's centre of n1ass. (This 111eans the object is being considered
as a particle, as defined earlier in Chapter 7, section 7.2 Velocity and acceleration as rates of change.)
The action of a force can affect an object by changing the speed or direction of its n1otion, or by deforming the object.
The amount of force acting on an object is measured using the SI standard unit called the ne\vton (N). A force of
1 ne\vton will accelerate an object of 111ass 1 kilogran1 at a rate of 1 metre per second, so 1 N = 1 kg111s-2 .

YEAR 12
Every object near the Earth's surface is subject to a force called gravity. This force is called the weight of the object
and it acts vertically downwards on every object, to\vards the centre of n1ass of the Earth. The force due to gravity
(the weight force) of a body of mass 1 kilogram is 9.8 N. For exa1nple, a person whose n1ass is 80 kg has a weight
equal to their n1ass multiplied by g, where g= 9.8 n1 s-2, so an 80 kg person weighs 80 x 9.8 = 784 N.
Force is a vector quantity, so it needs both magnitude and direction to fully describe it.
If more than one force is acting on an object, the su1n of all the forces is the
resultant force or net force. The object will n1ove as if the net force is the only
force that is actually acting on the object.
For exan1ple, in the diagran1 on the right, the resultant force acting on the object is f,
the sun1 of the two forces f 1and f 2 acting on the object: f = f 1 + f 2• This principle can F,
be extended to involve the addition of many forces. -
The resultant force or net force f is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.
If forces f 1, f 2 , f 3 , ••• f,, act on an object, then f = f 1 + f 2 + f 3 + ... f,,

Forces in equilibrium
If the resultant force acting on an object is zero, then the forces on the object are said to be in equilibrium. The
object's ,notion \Vill not change, which n1eans that the object \Vill remain at rest or continue \Vith constant velocity.
This is known as Ne\vton's first la\v of n1otion.

YEAR12
Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in n1otion stays in ,notion
with the same velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
If the forces acting on an object are in equilibriun1, then the resultant

force or net force acting on the object is zero. For exrunple, if the three F,
forces f 1, f 2 and f 3 that act on a particle are in equilibriun1, then -
f 1 + f 2 + f 3 = Q. The forces can be displayed using a triangle of forces, F,
as shown at right. -
The n1agnitude of the forces acting and the angles behveen the forces
can then be found using trigonon1etric ratios (if the triangle contains a right
ru1gle) or by using the sine or cosine rule.
In the problems in this course, strings ru1d ropes are considered to have
negligible (effectively zero) 1nass. A s1nooth , light pulley is also considered F,
to have negligible 1nass and the friction behveen a string or rope and a pulley
is considered to be negligible.
Example 7
A particle of mass 10kg is suspended by two strin gs attached to 40°
two points in the same horizontal plane. If the two strings n1ake
angles of25° an d 40° respectively to the horizontal, find the
n1agnitude of the tension force in each string in newtons correct to

The magnitude of the forces acting and the angles between the forces can also be found by expressing vectors in
con1ponent forn1. If there are not three forces acting on an object, then a triangle of forces obviously cannot be used.
However, if more than one force acts on an object, then the resultant force can ahvays be determined from adding
the forces. If the object is in equilibritun, then the sum of the i co1nponents and the su1n of the j components 1nust
each be zero. -

13.3 PROJECTILE MOTION

Projectile n1otion is an exan1ple of two-din1ensional n1otion in the vertical plane under gravity. In this course, the
effect of air resistance is ignored, so projectile n1otion is a vector co1nbination of horizontal constant motion with
vertical motion under gravity.

YEAR12
The assun1ptions made in this ,node! are:

• the projectile is a point
• the force due to air resistance is negligible
• the only force acting on the projectile is a constant force due to gravity, assuming that the projectile is
1noving close to the Earth's surface.
• the acceleration due to gravity is given by the constantg = 9.8 ,n s-2 , unless given otherwise.
In this vector approach the acceleration vector will be written as g(t) = axi + a1 z,the velocity vector as
y(t) = vxf + vrl• and the position vector as 1:(t) = xf + Yl- As the only vertical acceleration is due to gravity and there
is no horizontal acceleration, the acceleration vector becon1es g(t) = -gz.
Projectile motion-a typical problem
In projectile motion, a typical problem to be considered ,night look like the following exan1ple:
'A particle is projected in the vertical plane from a point on horizontal ground \Vith an initial velocity y(O) 1n s- 1 at an
angle cf to the horizontal:
In this situation, cf is called the angle of projection. The only force acting on the projectile is due to gravity and it
acts only in the vertical plane.
It is standard to take the directions to the right and upwards as the positive directions of motion. This 1neans that
the acceleration due to gravity is negative in this case, as it is acting in the opposite direction to the ,notion, and so

Equation of the path of a projectile

x = l~(O)lcosat and y= l~(O) lsinat- ~gt 2.
These expressions for x and y give the paran1etric equation of the path (or trajectory) of the projectile in tern1s oft.
Con1bining these equations to eli1ninate t gives the Cartesian equation of the path of the projectile.

Greatest height of the projectile

A particle reaches its greatest height when it stops rising, which is ,vhen vertical con1ponent of 1:'.(t) is zero.

14.1 BERNOULLI TRIALS
When a coin is flipped, there are hvo outcomes possible: heads or tails. When a standard die is rolled, there are six
outcomes possible: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. If you are interested in \Vhether or not you roll a particular number, like 6 for
exainple, there are only two outco1nes of interest in this scenario: 'getting a 6' ai1d 'not getting a 6'.
The saine argu1nent can be applied to n1ai1y practical situations: aJ1 archer hits the target or 1nisses the target; a footballer
scores a goal or 1nisses; a 1nedical test indicates the presence or absence of a disease. In all of these cases, you need to
consider success aJ1d failure. When you attach a probability ofp to success, then the probability of failure will be 1 - p.
Bernoulli trials are a \Vay of an alysing situations like these where there are exactly two possible outcomes: success or
failure. The trials are independent, so the outcon1e of one trial has no influence over the outco1ne of the next trial,
aJ1d the number of trials is fixed. Bernoulli trials are nan1ed after Jacob Bernoulli ( 1654-1705).
Example 1
Decide \Vhether each state1nent could represent a Bernoulli trial.
(a) You can either pass or fail an exa1nination.
(b) You can either buy a particular braJ1d of phone or not buy it.
(c) You can either \Valk, ride your bike or catch the bus to school.
(d) You can either get the job that you applied for or not get that job.
Solution
(a) Only two outcon1es, so it is a Bernoulli trial. (b) Only two outco1nes, so it is a Bernoulli trial.
(c) Three possible outcomes, so it is not a Bernoulli trial. (d) O nly t\vo outco1nes, so it is a Bern oulli trial.
Bernoulli random variables

Associated \Vith Bernoulli trials are Bernoulli raJ1do1n variables. Bernoulli randon1 variables are often encoded using
the convention that the nu1nber 1 is success, and Ois failure. If X represents a Bernoulli randon1 variable, aJ1d
a probability of p is associated to success, where O< p < 1, then:
p ifx= l
P(X = x )=
1-p ifx = O
The probability distribution table for this situation is: 0 1

The expected value is given by: The variaJ1ce is given by:

14.2 BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION

Bernoulli trials can help you to understand the 1nost in1portant of the discrete probability distributions, the binomial
distribution.
Suppose you are conducting an experiinent, consisting of n trials, where:
• n is detennined before the experiinent begins
• all n trials are identical Bernoulli trials, \vith probability of success p and probability of failure q= 1- p
• all the trials are independent, so that the outco1ne fro1n any one trial has no effect on the outco1ne of
any other trial.
In these cases there is a binomial random variable, which in turn has a binomial probability distribution.
There is a shorthand notation to indicate a binon1ial distribution:
X - B(n, p) indicates a random variable X that has a binomial distribution \vith n identical trials and a
probability of success of p.
n and p are called the parameters of the distribution.

X - B(n, p) is read as 'X is distributed as a bino1nial variable \vith para1neters n and p'.
Consider the experi1nent of dra\ving three cards, one at a tiine \Vith replace1nent, fron1 a standard pack of 52 playing
cards. If interested in the nun1ber X of hearts cards selected, then Xis a binomial variable. Consider dra\ving a heart
card to be a success. In tern1s of notation, n = 3 (the nun1ber of trials) and p = .!. (the probability of success on any
4
particular trial, as P(heart) = .!..

So,x-B(3,:).

YEAR 12
If you were drawing three cards fron1 a pack without replace1nent, then X would not be a bino1nial variable because
the probability of success p would change with each draw.
Even if an experin1ent has only two possible outcomes, it is not auto1natically bino1nial.
Example 2
Find the probability of obtaining exactly hvo hearts in a selection of three cards if the card is replaced after
each selection.
Solution
There are three ways to obtain exactly hvo hearts: HHN, HNH, NHH, ,vhere H represents 'getting a heart'
and N represents 'not getting a heart'.
In each case, the probability is equal to .!.x .!.xi.

A general expression for the probability that X takes a particular value x is as follo,vs:
P(X = x) = (:) px(l - p)" - x
Recalling that the probability of failure is so1netimes ,vritten as q, ,vhere p + q = 1, this can also be ,vritten as:
Example 4
A variable x follo,vs the distribu tion X - B( 10, 0.6).
Find P(X = 5) for this distribution, expressing your answer correct to four decin1al places.
Solution
Identify n (the n un1ber of trials), x (the nu1nber of successes), p (the probability of success), and
1 - p (the probability of failure):
n = 10 X=5 p = 0.6 1- p = 0.4

Binomial probability is appropriate because there are two outcon1es, a fixed probability of success and a
defined nu1nber of trials.
Identify n (the number of trials), x (the nun1ber of successes, i.e. cracked eggs), p (the probability of success),
and 1 - p (the probability of failure):

P(X = 3) = ( : )(0.05) 3 (0.95) 9

A particular medical test correctly identifies whether or not a person has an illness 98% of the tin1e. If 10 people
are tested, find the following probabilities, correct to three deci1nal places:
(a) No people are incorrectly diagnosed.
(b) At least one person is incorrectly diagnosed.
Solution
(a) Identify n, x and p: n = IO, x = IO, p = 0.98
Substitute into the fonnula: P(X = x) = (: )px(l - p)" - x
P(X = 10) = (~~) (0.98) 10 (0.02) 0
P(X= 10)= 0.8 17

(b) P(at least one incorrectly diagnosed) = 1 - p (none incorrectly diagnosed)
(None incorrectly diagnosed is the same as all correctly diagnosed)
P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)

14.4 NORMAL APPROXIMATION FOR THE SAMPLE PROPORTION

You can make sense of the ,vorld around you by studying particular features or characteristics that occur ,vithin
populations. To study a whole population can be impractical, costly, time-consun1ing and so1netimes in1possible.
In real-life situations, this 1neans it is rare to kI10,v the probability of a certain characteristic occurring within a
given population.
This issue can be overcome by obtainmg a sample and usmg the inforn1ation from this san1ple to infer particular
characteristics about the population. In other words, you study the 'part' in order to predict information about the
'whole'. This is the basis of statistical inference.
In your previous studies you have analysed sets of data, sun1n1arised and then presented the mforn1ation. This is
kilown as descriptive statistics. In this chapter, you will be using inferential statistics. While descriptive statistics
sun1n1arises and presents infonnation, inferential statistics uses the statistics fro1n a rando1n san1ple to draw
conclusions about the population. Recall that a san1ple is considered random if every unit of the population has an
equally likely chance of being selected in the sainple.
Sampling distributions and variability

The statistical results of rando1n sa1nples taken from a population ,viii vary. This leads to the idea that statistics
associated with samples from a population can be represented by a rando1n variable ,vith its own probability
distribution. This applies when ,vorking ,vith either sample 1neans or sainple proportions.
To understand the behaviour of a probability distribution of results fro1n sa1nples, you need to look at what
happens when n1any samples are taken. One way of doing this is to create a sinlulation and observe the behaviour
of the data.

The central limit theorem

This sin1ulation de1nonstrates one of the 1nost important theore1ns in statistics- the central limit theorem (CLT).
While the central lin1it theore1n is not required knowledge for this course, it is helpful to understand the significance of
this concept ai1d the part this plays in inferential statistics. Informally, the CLT says that the san1pling distribution for
a given statistic is essentially norn1ally distributed, regardless of the nature of the parent distribution. This means that
you can use a norn1al distribution to 1nodel the sampling distribution for that statistic, and hence develop confidence
intervals for estimates for a population parameter.

YEAR12
In most cases, the population para111eters are unknown, so the CLT is used in reverse. Taking samples of size n fro1n
any distribution, you can calculate the 1nean for each san1ple and kno,v that the collection of sample 1neans will be
approxilnately norn1ally distributed. This implies that the average of the san1ple means ,viii be approxilnately equal
to the population 1nean.
Consider obtainmg san1ples of size 50 ,vhen rolling a ten-sided fair die. When a s1nall nu1nber of samples of size 50
are generated, the distribution of the san1ple means does not show a norn1al distribution as clearly as when larger
sa1nples are taken. The shape is n1ore randon1 and often can be ske,ved to the left or the right, or very spaced out.
When a large nun1ber of sainples of size 50 are generated, the distribution of the san1ple means starts to resemble the
shape of the nonnal curve 1nore closely; the larger the number of san1ples generated, the 1nore evident this is.

This n1eans that no matter what the distribution of XI> X2, X3, ••. , X11 looks like, if there are lots of distributions
then the san1ple statistics will be approxilnately nonnal. In fact, 'lots' is often not a very large number, only n > 30 as
stated above.
If the underlying population has a norn1al distribution, then the sample size is usually not an issue. It is only
when the distribution of the underlying population is son1ething other than nonnal that the sa1nple size is n1ore
iinportant.
Sample proportions-notation and terminology

Medical research indicates that 4% of the Australian population carry the gene for cystic fibrosis, one of the most
co1n1non life-threatening genetic conditions in Australia. You could ask, 'Ho,v accurate is 4% with respect to the
population?'
Realistically, the exact population paran1eter is unknown . Unless you are willing to perforn1 a census, your
infonnation and subsequent calculations ,viii con1e from a rando1n sa1nple. However, it can be shown that
a proportion calculated fro1n a simple random san1ple can provide a reasonable estimate of the population
paran1eter.
For exa1nple, consider if a randon1 san1ple of 4000 people is tested for the cystic fibrosis gene. Fron1 this san1ple, it is

the sampling distribution of meai1s.
Taking samples of size n, fro1n any distribution, a specific proportion of a randon1 variable can be calculated and
it will be approxiinately norn1ally distributed. This implies that the proportion of a specific randon1 variable in a
sa1nple will be approxin1ately equal to the proportion of the same specific random variable in the population.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
The CLT and sample proportions

The activity simulates obtaining samples of size 50 for a 10-sided fair die. Observe how the shape of the d istribution of
the number of threes obtained changes as more samples of size 50 are taken.
When a s1nall nu1nber of san1ples of size 50 are generated, the distribution of the nun1ber of threes does not clearly
show a normal distribution. The shape is more random and often skewed to the left or the right or very spaced out.
When a large number of san1ples of size 50 are generated, the distribution of the nu1nber of threes starts to rese1nble
the shape of a nonnal curve. The larger the nun1ber of samples generated, the n1ore evident this is.
Sampling distribution for sample proportions

It is useful to explore the relationship behveen Bernoulli randon1 variables and binomial distributions, and how
these relate to san1ple proportions.
Recall fro1n your work on discrete random variables that a Bernoulli rando1n variable is a discrete random variable
,vhich has hvo outco1nes: a 'success' with an associated probability of p and a 'failure' with the associated probability
of 1 - p. Within a binon1ial situation, if n units are chosen at rando1n, then the variable X (the count of successes in a
san1ple) has a binon1ial distribution X ~ B( n, p).
The sainple proportion p= Xn is the bino1nial count divided by the sa1nple size, ,vhich gives a value between
, ,
0 and 1. This 1neans that the set of p values are related to a rando1n variable called P and follow a binomial
distribution.
Notice the differences in notation. The values X and pare used ,vhen observing a single random sample. However,
,vhen considering the ,vhole set of values that can be obtained fron1 all sainples, X and P' are used.
The standard deviation of a binomial distribution can be estin1ated fron1 the sa1nple proportion pof one sample,
rather than 1nany. This cannot be done easily for other distributions.
As previously discussed, both the 1nean and the standard deviation are defined using the population para1neter p.
However, the value ofp is unknown, so the exact meai1 and standard deviation cannot be calculated.
To overcon1e this problem, use the sample proportion pas an estin1ate for both the expected value and standard
deviation, and replace p ,vith p. When preplaces p in the standard deviation, then it is often called the standard
j,)
error S ( instead. This is to distinguish between the use of a paran1eter and a statistic.
The distribution off, for the sample proportions is defined as f, ~ N p,) p(lnP) ,
,vhere the expected value E(P)"' pand the standard deviation SD"' ✓p(ln p) =S(P).

Here you can see that for a value of p = 0. 1 and n = 50, the distribution ,nay look bell-shaped but it is noticeably
skewed. However, as the value for n increases, the shape, ,vhile retaining the bell shape, becomes 1nore syn1n1etrical
about p. This means that even if the value of pis not close to 0.5 (i.e. the population is unbalanced), the larger the
san1ple, the n1ore the sampling distribution of presembles a nonnal distribution.
So what value of n is considered sufficiently large? The following conditions allow you to detennine if the CLT
can be applied.
The following hvo conditions n1ust be n1et for the CLT to apply:
-
• np>5
• n(1-p)>5
You also need to approxin1ate the population proportion p with the sample proportion p.
However, note that if tile population already has a norn1al distribution then the conditions are not necessary.
Example 14
A survey of 25 people has obtained a sa1nple proportion of 0.2. Detern1ine if tile distribution can be
approxiinated by a normal distribution.
Solution
Define the parameters: n = 25 and p= 0.2.
Test these paran1eters for each condition: np > 5 And: n(l- p)> 5
25x0.2=5 25x0.8=20

Botll staten1ents are true, so the distribution can be approximated by a norn1al distribution.

Summary of quartic polynomials
1 A quartic polyno1nial n1ay have four, three, two, one or no real zeros.
2 If a quartic polynon1ial has only one real zero, then it 1nust be a quadruple zero.
3 If a quartic polynon1ial has only two distinct real zeros, then they are either a triple zero and a single zero or they
are both double zeros.
4 If a quartic polynon1ial has only three distinct real zeros, then they are a double zero and two single zeros.
5 If a quartic polynon1ial has four distinct real zeros, then it can be factorised into four real lmear factors.
6 If a quartic polynon1ial has no real zeros, then it cannot be factorised into any real linear factors.
