CHAPTER 19
The word exponent is often used instead of the word index. Functions where the variable is in the
index (e.g. 3x, 10 2 x) are called exponential functions. One aim of this chapter is to learn how to use
exponential functions and in particular to discover two very important functions.
Exponential graphs have a particular shape. Here is

part of the graph of y = 2x and the table of values for 8
it.

You can learn more about exponential graphs by 2

thinking about the questions in the following exercise.
-3 2 3
1. (a) What is the value of 2x if x = -3 and if x = -4?

(b) What is the value of2x if x = 4 and if x = 5?
(c) What is the value of 2x if x = 10?
(d) How would you describe the behaviour of the graph of y = Y as x becomes larger and
larger?
(e) Can you think of any value of x which would make 2x negative?
(f) If x approaches negative infinity, what value does 2x approach?
2. Try these similar questions about y = Y.
(a) Do you expect Y ever to be negative?
(b) What is the behaviour of 3x as x becomes smaller and smaller (x ---+ - oo)?
(c) Where does the graph of y = 3x cut they axis?
(d) If xis any positive value, say x = 4, is Y larger or smaller than 2x?
(e) If a is negative which is larger 2a or 3a7
3. Complete the following table of values for y = Y and draw a sketch graph of the curve. For this
graph the domain is limited to lxl ~ 3. If necessary use a calculator.

4. On a different set of axes because of the scale difference sketchy = lOX and verify that the same
fundamental properties hold, namely:
(a) 10x is never negativt;:
(b) 10x --+ 0 as x --+ - oo
(c) 10x increases r~pidly and without limit as x gets larger
(d) the graph passes through the point (0, 1).
5. Without drawing up a table of values draw a rough sketch of y = 4x merely showing vital features
of shape. What is one important point the graph passes through?
6. Draw your own graph or copy the graph of y = 2x and draw a tangent at the point (0, 1). Check
if the gradient of this tangent is about 0·7.
7. Find rough values for the gradients (slopes) of the graphs y = 3X, y = 4x andy = wx at the point
(0, 1) on each.
8. Verify from your answers and from the shape of your curves that the gradient of the tangent at
(0, 1) on y = 3x is greater than for y = 2x and similarly it increases for y = 4x and y = 10x.
Given that the gradients of y = 2x andy = Y at (0, 1) are approximately 0·7 and 1·1 respectively,
guess what the gradient of y = 2·5x at (0, 1) might be.
9. Drawupatableofvaluesandsketchy = 2·5xfromx = -1 tox = 2andestimatethegradient
at (0, 1).
Consider any function y = ax where a is a constant greater than 1. Since a0 = 1 this graph passes
through (0, 1) for any value of a. Let us try to find the gradient at this point in the way we have used
in the calculus.
Take the point P(O, 1) and let Q be a point '

. on the curve near P so that OM= fix and let .;.,
QR = fly. Q, being on the curve y = aX, must

have coordinates (fix, a"x)
fly QR a"x- 1
Then - = - = - - -
fix PR fix
The limit of this expression as fix --+ 0 is the
gradient at (0, 1).
We will call this gradient m and use the ideas
above to differentiate ax.
Since Q is (L1x, a"x) then QM = a"x

3
Let P(x, y) and Q(x + L!x, y + L!y) be two points on the
curve y =ax.
Now Y =ax
and y + L!y = ax+tlx
so L!y = ax+Ax - ax
=ax. aAx _ax
= ax(a 6 x- 1)
L!y _ ax(a 6 x - 1)
thus
L!x - L!x
and dy = lim L!y

But we have previously found that the limit lim (at.x - ) is the gradient of the curve at the point
t.x->O L!x
(0, 1) and which for any curve we call m.
So dy = max where m is the gradient at (0, 1).
dx
A number of important results follow:

1. We can differentiate y = ax if we know its gradient at (0, 1). The gradient of y = Y at (0, 1) is
0·69 approx. so for that curve Jx = 0·69 x 2x.
2. On any exponential curve the gradient at any point is proportional to the value of the function at
that point (i.e. : = my) so when the function is small it increases slowly but when the function
is large its gradient is also large.
3. Looking at the expression : = max it follows that if we could find a function ax for some a where
the gradient m at (0, 1) was 1 then we would have found a function which is unchanged upon
differentiation. Such a function can be found, it is called the exponential function and it has great
importance in mathematics.
The gradient of y = 2x at (0, 1) is approx 0·69.

The gradient of y = Y at (0, 1) is about 1·1.
Somewhere between 2 and 3 is a value e such that ex has a gradient of 1 at (0, 1).
e turns out to be 2·71828 ... approximately.
y = ex is called the exponential function.

It has the property that if y = ex then: = ex.
Calculators and books of tables have values of this function.

Example (ii):
Find the maximum and minimum values of y = x 2 ex. (Note: Results above may be used).
Solution:
if y = x 2 ex Given the turning points found opposite we use
then from above y' = (x 2 + 2x)ex the second derivative to examine their nature
as ex is never zero then y' = 0 From above y" = ex(x 2 + 4x + 2)
if x 2 + 2x = 0 if x = 0, y" = e 0 x 2 (positive)
if x(x + 2) = 0 if x = -2, y" = e- 2 (4 - 8 + 2)
if x = 0 or x = - 2 = -2e- 2 (negative)
Substituting x = 0 and x = - 2 So the point (0, 0) is a minimum and the point
the turning points are (0, 0) and (- 2, 4e- 2 ). ( -2, 4e- 2 ) is a maximum.

6. The diagram shows the curves y = e 2x and y = e-x.
Calculate the area under each curve from x = 0 to x = 1

about the x axis. Find the volume of the solid of revolution formed.
11. Find the area shaded which is bounded by the curve
y = ex, the line y = e and they axis.
12. Sketch the curve y = e- 2 x. Find the area between the curve, the x axis, and the lines x = 1 and
x = 2. If this region is rotated about the x axis find the volume of the solid generated.
13. Differentiate xex and show that d~ (xex) - ex = xex. Hence prove that fxex = xex - ex + c.
Connected with the exponential function is another very important function called the logarithm
function. You have already noted that an index can be called an exponent. It can also be called a
logarithm. More particularly, if y = ax then x is called the logarithm of y to the base a (written
X= logay)
then x = loga y
then x = loge y
You may have met logarithms before, including the common logarithms to the base 10. Logarithms
to base e are called natural logarithms or Napierian logarithms after a Scotsman John Napier who
published an article on logarithms in 1614.
Follow these examples to investigate the theory behind logarithms. Remember, a logarithm is
an index.
11
Example (i):
Given 2 6 = 64 and 34 = 81 write down
(a) log 2 64 (b) log 3 81 (c) log 10 100
Solution:
(a) log 2 64 = 6 because 2 6 = 64
(b) log 3 81 = 4 because 34 = 81
(c) log 10 100 = 2 because 10 2 = 100
Example (ii):
Find (a) log 2 16 (b) logs 125
Solution:
(a) Since 16 = 2 4 (b) Since 125 = 5 3
then 1og 2 16 = 4 then logs 125 = 3
Example (iii):
Find (a) log 3 J27 (b) log~ 32
Solution:
(a) J27 = 3.[3 = 3t (b) 32 = 2S = (J'i) 10

(c) loga x" = 11 loga X
Solution:

Hence loga xy =k + m

I.e. loga- = k - m = loga X - loga y.

(c) x" = (ak)" = ak"

Example (v):
Given loge 3 = 1·09861 and loge 2 = 0·69315, calculate loge 6 and loge 81 to 4 decimal places.
Solution:
(a) loge 6 = loge (3 X 2) (b) log 3 81 = loge 34
= loge 3 + loge 2 = 4loge 3
= 1·09861 +0·69315 = 1·09861 X 4
= 1·79176 = 4·39444
= 1·7918 (to 4 places) = 4·3944 (to 4 places)

Example (vi):
What is the natural logarithm of:
(a) e3·57? (b) 1·7? (c) 170? (d) 0·17?
Solution:
(a) By definition if y = e 3 ' 5 1, then loge y = 3·57.
Note: In general loge ea =a.
(b) From tables or calculator loge 1·7 ~ 0·5306.
(c) From calculator loge 170 = 5·1358 direct. Tables usually only have logarithms of numbers from
1 to 10. Hence if using tables proceed as follows:
loge 170 = loge (1·7 X 100)
= loge 1·7 + loge 100
= loge 1·7 + 2 loge 10

Before the advent of calculators, logarithms to base 10 were very useful. Logarithms are useful because
being indices they can be added or subtracted when numbers are being multiplied or divided and most
people find the first two operations easier. But why logarithms to base 10?
It is impossible to print a table with logarithms of all numbers shown separately because of space.
Lists in tables are restricted usually to logarithms of numbers from 1 to 10. Logarithms of other
numbers can then be calculated as, for example:
log 17 =log (1·7 x 10) =log 1·7 +log 10
log 0·017 = log (1·7 --;-. 100) = log 1·7 - 2log 10
20
If logarithms are to the base 10 these transpositions are easy because log 10 10 = 1 and
log 10 100 = 2 etc.
This all raises two questions
(a) How can logarithms be changed from one base to another?
(b) How can logarithms to different bases be differentiated or integrated?
CHANGE OF BASE DIFFERENTIATION OF y = loga x

Let y =log" x Let y =log" x
Then x = aY Before differentiating rewrite this as
Taking logarithms of both sides to base b loge X
y = -- (see opposite)
1ogb x = 1ogb (aY) loge a
= y. 1ogb a dy 1
= log" x . 1ogb a (by substitution) .. dx = loge a . ~ (as loge a is a constant)
This is usually written Remember

CHAPTER 20
In earlier work involving trigonometry the degree was used as a unit of measurement. It was a con-
venient unit for practical, numerical measurement but when dealing with trigonometric functions
a new unit, called the radian is more appropriate. On your calculator there is a selector switch which
may be set to radians or degrees.
In a unit circle, with centre 0, two radii OP, OQ are drawn so that:
the arc length PQ = radius OP = radius OQ
= 1 unit.
The angle POQ subtended at the centre by the unit arc PQ is defined
to have a measure of one radian. P
: A radian is the measure of the angle which an arc of unit length subtends at the
of a unit circle.
If, in a circle of unit radius, an angle ROS has its vertex at the centre, its radian measure is equal to
the length of arc on which it stands.
If arc length RS = x units
then L ROS = x radians.
Examples:
(i) If the length of arc RS = 1· 3 units, then L ROS = 1· 3 radians.
(ii) If the arc RS measures 0·73 units, then LROS = 0·73 radians.
As in earlier trigonometry, if the rotation is anticlockwise the angle is taken as positive; if clockwise
as negative. Hence in the unit circles below:
Q
L POQ = ~radians. LPOQ = -2·25 radians.
26
In this way, any arc length, which may be measured by a real number, may be interpreted as an
angle measured in radians. When theoretical work is being done with the trigonometrical functions,
the radian measure is always used. The degree measure is still of vital importance in practical situations
such as carpentry and surveying.
It is important to be able to convert between radians and degrees. This may be done by means of
tables or on some scientific calculators there is a key to automatically carry out the conversion.
However, equivalent values may be found by means of a simple relationship.
The circumference of a circle is given by
C = 2nr
where n ts· the uratwna
. . 1 num ber def'me d as the ratiO. of circumference
d. an d IS
. approximate
. 1y equa1 to
mmeter
3·14159.
In the case of the unit circle, the circumference is
C = 2n (as r = 1).
Thus, the length of the semi-circular arc PQR = n units.
If follows that the straight angle PO R measures n radians.
R
c=2n
n is the length of the semicircular arc in a unit circle and hence is the measure in radians of the
straight angle PO R.

CHAPTER 21
In what follows we assume you know the meaning of the terms circle, radius, diameter, centre, cir-
cumference, chord, arc, sector and segment. The terms major arc, and minor arc refer to arcs which
are respectively more or less than half of the circle. Note that the words radius, diameter, and cir-
cumference are used sometimes to refer to the lines themselves and sometimes to the length of them.
Remember that a circle is defined as a set of points each of which is equidistant from a given fixed
point, so it is the (boundary) line which is the circle and not the region inside it.
Concentric circles are circles with the same centre. Circles which have equal radii are equal circles.
Listed below is a series of important chord properties.
PROPERTY 1
The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
PROPERTY 2
The line from the centre of a circle to the mid-point of a chord is perpendicular to the chord.
PROPERTY 3
Equal chords in equal circles are equidistant from the centre.
PROPERTY 4
Chords in a circle (or equal circles) which are equidistant from the centre are equal.
In Questions 1 to 4 of Exercise 21.1 you will prove the properties listed above.
1. In the diagram, 0 is the centre of the circle and OX j_ AB.

=
Prove that 60AX 60BX and hence prove that X is the
mid-point of AB.
2. Using the diagram of Question 1, suppose only that 0 is the
centre and that X is the midpoint of AB. Using congruence,
prove that LOXA = LOXB and hence that OX .lAB.
Use these diagrams for A

Questions 3 and 4 below. Here

circles (i.e. AO = CH) and
OX j_ AB and HY j_ CD. c

3. Suppose in the diagram AB and CD are equal chords. What follows about AX and CY? Using
congruence prove OX= HY.
4. Again in the diagram, assume that OX = HY. Prove AX = CY and hence prove that AB = CD.
5. A corollary of Property 1 states 'the per-
pendicular bisector of a chord will pass through
the centre.'
A, Band Care three points on a circle. Use
the corollary to describe how you would find B
the position of the centre.
6. The diagram shows two concentric circles with

centre 0. ACDB is a line cutting the two circles
as shown. OX has been drawn perpendicular
toAB.
Prove (a) CX = XD
(b) AX= XB.
What follows about AC and DB? A 8
7. 0 and Hare the centres of two circles which

intersect at A and B.
N.B. AB is called the common chord.
=
Prove (a) b.OAH b.OBH
(b) LAOZ = LBOZ
and hence prove that the line of centres 0 H
bisects the common chord AB at right angles.
N.B. This is a significant result worth re-
membering.
Example (i):
A chord 10 em long is drawn in a circle of radius 6 em. How far (perpendicular distance) is the chord
from the centre of the circle?
Solution:
In the diagram, 0 is the centre and AB is the chord. Draw OX per-
pendicular to AB.
Then AX =:o !AB (perpendicular from centre bisects a
= 5cm chord)
By Pythagoras theorem:
OX 2 = OA 2 - AX 2
= 36- 25
= 11
OX= Jff em (or 3·32 em by calculator)
47
Example (ii):
Two chords, of length 12 em and 16 em are drawn parallel to each other in a circle of centre 0. If
the chords are 2 em apart, what is the radius of the circle?
Solution:
Draw OX j_ CD cutting AB in Y.
Because ABIICD

The diagram contains two right-angled triangles 60XD and 60 YB. It is impossible to use Pytha-
goras' theorem separately in each triangle on its own as there are not enough facts. The power of
algebra is needed.

Let OY= xcm

Then as YX = 2 em (data)
Then OX= (x + 2) em
Let the radius be r em.
We form two equations
from 60YB r 2 = x 2 + 8 2
from 60XD r 2 = (x + 2) 2 + 62
.'. x 2 + 64 = (x + 2) 2 + 36
x 2 + 64 = x 2 + 4x + 4 + 36
4x = 24
x=6
So OY = 6 em, OX= 8 em and r = 10 em .

5. AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle whose centre

is 0. If AB and CD meet at X and if ON and OM are
drawn perpendicular to AB and CD, as shown in the
diagram, prove that NX = XM and hence that
AX= XDand CX = XB.

A number of important results can be discovered and proved with regard to various angles that can
be drawn within circles. There is one fairly crucial result upon which several others depend or from
which they can be proved. So it will be examined first.
PROPERTY 5
The angle at the centre of a circle is twice the angle at the circumference standing on the same arc.
51
It is important in proving a general result not to give a restricted diagram. Check that the three
diagrams below between them cover every case and that the argument below applies to all.
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
Data: 0 is the centre of a circle; AB is an arc and C some other point on the circumference.
Aim: To prove LAOB = 2 x LACE.
Construction: Join CO and produce to D in Figures 1 and 3. In Figure 2 mark D as a point on CO
produced.
Proof: In all diagrams let L BCD = x and LA CD = y. Note that in Figure 2 LA CD does not exist.
In all figures, because OB = OC
L 0 BC = L OCB (angles in isosceles triangle)
=x
In /':::,.QBC, exterior LBOD = LOCB + LOBC
= 2x
In a similar way it can be proved that
LAOD = 2y (excluding Figure 2)
In Figure 1, by addition, LAOB = 2x + 2y
= 2(x + y)
= 2 x LACE
In Figure 2, LAOB = 2x
= 2 x LACE
In Figure 3, by subtraction, LAOB = 2y - 2x
= 2(y- x)
= 2 x LACE
Thus, for all figures, the angle at the centre, LAOB, is twice the
angle at the circumference, LACE, standing on the same arc.
Although there were three figures above there is one case still not
covered. What if LAOB is reflex (marked min the diagram)? Is
reflex LAOB also twice LACE?
The answer is yes.
Let CO be joined and produced to Don the circumference. We
now have angles LBOD and LAOD which are not reflex.
By the previous proof
LAOD = 2 x LACD
LBOD = 2 x LBCD
by addition reflex LAOB = 2 x LACE
52
1. In the diagram 0 is the centre of the circle and LAOB = 68°.

8. A, B, C and D are four points on a circle of centre 0 (as in
the diagram). Given LADC = 72o find obtuse LAOC and
hence reflex LAOC. Now find LABC. What is the sum

different-sized angles.

(b) If LADC = 38°, find LABC.
(c) If LABC = 113°, find LADC + LABC.
(d) Suppose LADC = X Find LAOC, reflex LAOC and LABC each in terms of x. Show

that LABC + LADC = 180° regardless of the value of x.

(e) Can you put into words a statement that is true of the angles of a quadrilateral ABCD which
is drawn in a circle?
53
DEFINITIONS
If LAXE or LAYE as shown stand on the arc AE they are said
to be subtended by the arc AE.
As the chord AE cuts off a segment from the circle (see Dia-
gram) these angles LAXE and LAYE are said to be in the same
segment.
If AE is a diameter of a circle (see Diagram) then the segment

it cuts off is in fact a semicircle. In this case LACE is called an
angle in a semicircle.
PROPERTY 6
Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
Data: AE is an arc of a circle of centre 0. LAXE and LAYE
each stand on arc AE.
Aim: To prove LAXE = LAYE.
Proof: Join AO, EO.
LAXE = !LAOE (angle at centre is twice angle
at circumference)
Similarly LAYE = !LAOE.
Hence LAXE = LAYE.
PROPERTY 7
An angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
Data: AOB is a diameter and Cis a point on the circumference.
Aim: To prove LACE = 90°.
Proof: LAOE = 180° (straight angle)
But LACE= !LAOE (angle at centre is twice angle
at circumference)
Hence LACE= 90°.

A quadrilateral which is drawn in a circle (or through whose vertices

a circle can be constructed) is described as cyclic. In fact, any figure
whose vertices lie on a circle is called cyclic. Points which lie on a circle
are called concyclic points.
56
PROPERTY 8
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
Data: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. 0 is the centre of the circle.
Aim: To prove LADC + LABC = 180°
and similarly LEAD + LBCD = 180°.
Proof: Join AO, OC.
LADC = ~LAOC (angle at the centre is twice
angle at the circumference)
also LABC = ~reflex LAOC (same reason)
By addition LADC + LABC = ~LAOC +~reflex LAOC B
= ~ x 360° (angles at a point add to 360°)
= 180°.
Similarly by joining BO and DO it may be proved that
LEAD+ LBCD = 180°.
PROPERTY 9
The exterior angle at a vertex of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.
A sketched proof:
In the diagram call LBCD = X 0
Then LDCE = (180 - x)o (BCE is a straight line)

also LEAD = (180 - x)o (opposite angles of cyclic
quadrilateral)
B
Hence L DCE = L BAD.
PROPERTY 10
If two opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary then the quadrilateral is cyclic (and its 4
vertices are concyclic points).
A
Note: This proof is a good example of what is called
indirect proof The property is assumed not to be true and
a contradiction is shown to follow.
Data: Let ABCD be such that LABC + LADC = 180°.
Aim: To prove that a circle can be drawn through B
A,B, CandD.
Proof: Assume a circle drawn through A, B and C cuts
AD in E. Join CE.
Now because ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral
LABC + LAEC = 180° (opposite angles)
But LABC + LADC = 180° (data)
So LAEC = LADC
But this is impossible because
LAEC = LADC + LECD (exterior angle of t6.ECD)
So LECD has no measure and E and D must coincide. Therefore a circle which passes through
A, Band C must pass through D.

It is fairly obvious that if you had two equal-sized apple
pies and you cut sectors which had the same angles (i.e.
LAOB = LCHD) then the sectors would.be equal in all
respects and arc AB would equal arc CD.
Again, if you had a bike wheel with 10 spokes equally

spaced around the circumference (i.e. AB = BC = CD,
etc.) then it is intuitively obvious that all the angles
( LAOB, LBOC, L COD, etc.) at the centre would be
equal (and, in fact, each 36°).
These ideas can be formalised in the following assumptions:
ASSUMPTION 1
In equal circles, if two arcs are equal then they sub tend equal angles at the centre.
ASSUMPTION 2
In equal circles, if two arcs sub tend equal angles at the centre then the arcs are equal.
COR 0 LLAR I ES (obvious consequences)

1. The above properties hold in respect of arcs or angles in the same circle.
2. Equal arcs also make equal angles at the circumference because the angles at the circumference
are respectively half the centre angles.
3. In equal circles angles subtended at the centre are proportional to the arcs on which they stand.
4. In equal circles arcs are proportional to the angles which they subtend at the centre.
N.B. Corollaries 3 and 4 are generalisations which are easily proved.
For example, in the diagram opposite, suppose that D
arc CD = twice arc AB. Then arc CD can be divided at M so that
arc CM = arc MD = arc AB. It follows that
LCOM = LMOD = LAOB and hence
LCOD = twice LAOB.
This generalises to any proportion.

Example (i):
The circumference of a circle is 20 em. What is the length of an arc in this circle which subtends an
angle of 100° at the centre?
Solution:
The total circumference subtends an angle of 360° at the centre.
So arc required 100°
circumference = 360°
arc reqmre d
0
= 100 x 20 em
360
= 5·5 em
Example (ii):
What are the sizes of each interior angle of a regular pentagon drawn in a circle?
Solution: A
As there are five equal arcs around the circle then each arc subtends
an angle of 72° at the centre and hence subtends an angle of 36° at
the circumference.
Hence in the figure each angle marked x equals 36° as each stands
on one of the equal arcs ED, DC or CB.
Hence L EDC = 108°
All angles of the pentagon are 108°.

A particle P moves in a straight line. Suppose its distance, s metres, from a fixed point 0 after t seconds
is given by s = t 2 •
The distance-time graph would appear as shown with s

distance plotted on the vertical axis and time on the

VELOCITY 12-
Now, velocity is the rate of change of distance with respect
to time. 10
Suppose we wish to find the average velocity of the a-

particle between the second and fourth seconds.

The average velocity is represented graphically by the

and Q(4, 16)

i.e. Average velocity=---=-= 6.
4-2 2
The instantaneous velocity at timet, is given graphically by the gradient of the tangent to the curve
at timet.
Thus the instantaneous velocity at any point is given by the value of : at that point.
Now s = t2
ds
thus dt = 2t.
ds
Hence at P where t = 2, v = dt = 4.
The velocity after 2 seconds is 4 metres per second.
The symbol ds is sometimes written s, the dot denoting differentiation with respect tot.
dt
If a particle moves in a straight line and its distances from a fixed point in the line is expressed
as a function of time t, then its instantaneous velocity v at any time t is given by
ds
v = dt'
76
Example:
A particle moves on a line so that its distance, s metres, from the origin at time t seconds is given by
s = 4 - 3t + t 2 • Find:
(a) the distance of the particle from the origin at the start and after 2 seconds.
(b) the velocity of the particle when t = 2
(c) at what instant the particle comes to rest.
(d) the closest distance of the particle to the origin.
Solution:
(a) s = 4 - 3t + t 2
At the start t = 0
If t = 0, s = 4
.·. at the start the particle is 4 metres from the origin.
If t = 2, s = 4 - 6 + 4 = 2
.·. after 2 seconds the particle is 2 metres from the origin.
(b) v =
dsdt = - 3 + 2t
when t = 2, v = -3 + 4 = 1
.·. after 2 seconds the velocity is 1 metre per second.
(c) The particle is at rest when v = 0, i.e. when -3 + 2t = 0
giving t = I!
.'. The particle is at rest after It seconds.
(d) The closest distance to the origin occurs when sis a minimum
i.e. when~; = 0 and this occurs when t = I!
If t = 1!, s = 4 - 4! + 2! = lj:
.·. The closest the particle comes to the origin is lj: metres.
ACCELERATION
When velocity is not constant and changes with time the rate of change of velocity with respect to
time is called acceleration. Acceleration must therefore be measured in units of velocity per second.
For example, in metres per second per second.
If the velocity v of a particle is expressed in terms of timet, then the instantaneous acceleration
a at time t is given by:
a
dv
= dt or a = dt 2
. v = dtds)
(smce
Acceleration is sometimes written §where the two dots indicate double differentiation with
respect to t.
Example (i):
A particle moves in a straight line such that its distance, s metres, from a fixed point 0, in the line,

acceleration means that the velocity is decreasing. For example, a negative acceleration could
cause a velocity of 8 metres per second to decrease to 6 metres per second or a velocity of
- 8 metres per second to decrease to - 10 metres per second.

THE GROWTH AND DECAY FUNCTION
The exponential function has many practical applications. It is involved in natural examples of growth
and decay, such as population growth, growth of bacteria in a culture, the rate of cooling of a body,
the rate of decay of radioactive substances and the rate of change of pressure with altitude, to name
a few.
The exponential function N = Aek1 is known as the growth function. Note that A and k are con-
stants and N is a function oft. The independent variable is given as t since the growth function usually
varies with time.
Note that if N = Aek1 then dN = kAek 1
dt
= kN.
Thus the growth function N = Aek1 satisfies the equation ~~ = kN.

This equation states that the rate of change of N is proportional toN. For any practical situation
for which this is true the growth function will be of the form N = Aek1 •
If k is negative then N is decreasing continuously and the equation represents the decay function.
Substituting t = 0 in the formula N = Aek1 gives N = Ae 0 i.e. N = A.
Thus A represents the initial value of Nand the formula is often given as N = N0 ek1, etc.

If a piece of wood from an excavation site has a reading of 7 counts per minute, show that the

In practical applications more complicated exponential functions are often used to describe the process
of growth and decay.
For example, if a population N has a rate of change proportional to the difference between Nand
a constant P, this may be expressed as
dN
dt = k(N - P) where k, P are constants.
As in earlier work, k is called the growth constant.
This equation has a trivial solution given by
N = P (where P is the given constant)
as in the above equation L.H.S. = ~~ = d~) = 0
and R.H.S. = k(N- P) = k(P - P) = 0.
Thus, both sides are equal to zero and so N = P is one solution.
A more general solution to this equation is given by N = P + Aekt where A is an arbitrary constant.
To verify this, substitute for N in
~~ = k(N- P)
:r (P + Aek') = k{ (P + Aek') - P}
kAekt = kAekt and so the equation is satisfied by N = P + Aek'.
If the rate of change of N is given by

dN
- = k(N - P), where k, Pare constants
dt
then solutions are given by
N = P (the trivial case)
or N = P + Aekt where A is a constant.
If a given set of initial conditions is provided the numerical values of the constants A and k may
be determined.

Thus, whenever k < 0, N-+ Past-+ oo
THE GENERAL CASE WHEN k > 0

Consider N = P + Aekt when k > 0.
Thus, as t increases, ekt will also increase and as t -+ ro, ekt -+ oo.
If A is positive, Aekt will increase to a large positive number, and so N = P + Aekt will become a
large positive number.
Thus, when k > 0, A > 0
as t -+ ro, N -+ oo (becomes infinitely large)
If A is negative, Aekt will decrease to a large negative number as t -+ ro and so N will also become
a large negative number.
Thus, when k > 0, A < 0
as t -+ ro, N-+ - oo (becomes infinitely small)
Given that~~= k(N- P), then N = P + Aek 1

If k < 0, as t -+ ro, N-+ P.

CHAPTER 23
PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS OF THE PARABOLA

As has been stated earlier, the locus of a point P which moves so that it is equidistant from a fixed
point S(O, a), called the focus and a fixed line y = -a, called the directrix is the parabola x 2 = 4ay.
The single equation x 2 = 4ay is called the Cartesian equation of the parabola. Often in Mathematics
it is more convenient to express the equation of the curve by means of two equations involving a
third variable called a parameter.
Consider the parabola given by the Cartesian equation
x 2 = 4ay.
Substitute x = 2at, where tis a parameter
(2at) 2 = 4ay
4a 2 t 2 = 4ay
at 2 = y.
Thus the parabola x 2 = 4ay may be represented by the pair of parametric equations
x = 2at} where t ts
. any real number.
y =at 2
Parabola: Cartesian: x 2
4ay =

parametric: x = at} where the domain is the set of reals.
y = at 2
Each value oft gives a unique point on the parabola and each point on the parabola corresponds
to a unique value oft.

The general point T(x, y) on the parabola x 2 = 4ay is represented as the ordered pair (2at, at 2 )
and is often referred to as the point 't'.
For example, the point t = 1 is (2a, a)
t = -1 is (- 2a, a)

2 THE EQUATION OF THE TANGENT TO x = 2at, y = at 2 AT THE POINT
WITH PARAMETER 't'
This equation may be derived in various ways, each of which uses an important mathematical process.
Method 1: As x 1 = 2at, y 1 = at 2 substitute these in (1) above:

x . 2at = 2a(y + at 2 )
2atx = 2ay + 2a 2 t 2
Dividing both sides by 2a:
tx = y + at 2
or y - tx + at 2 = 0

.'. the equation of the tangent at t is:
y - at 2 = t(x - 2at)
= tx- 2at 2
or y tx + at = 0
2
Method 3:
y Suppose P is the point t 1
Q is the point t 2 •
The equation of the secant (the chord PQ) is
Y t(t1 + t 2 )x + at 1 t 2 = 0.
Now, as Q approaches P, t 2 approaches t 1 and the
secant becomes a tangent.
Thus, finally Q coincides with P and t 2 = t 1 , giving
the equation of the tangent as
Y - t(t 1 + t 1)x + at 1 . t 1 = 0
y- t 1 x + at 1 2 = 0
which leads to the tangent at the point 't' as:
X y- tx + at 2 = 0
3. EQUATION OF THE NORMAL AT THE POINT (x 1 , y 1 ) ON x 2 = 4ay

Solution:
To show that the line is a tangent it is necessary to show that it cuts the parabola at only one point.

y Consider the parabola x 2 = 4ay which divides the x, y plane into

three sets of points: points within the parabola, points on the
parabola, and points outside the parabola.
Let P(x 1 , y 1 ) be an exterior point to the parabola.
Let the line x = x 1 (through P, parallel to the y axis) cut the
parabola at T.
At T the x value is x 1 and let the ordinate be y 2 •
As T lies on the parabola x 2 = 4ay, at T

.'. x/ > 4ay 1
Thus any point (x 1, y 1 ) is external to the parabola x 2 = 4ay if x/ > 4ay1.
Let P(x 1 , y 1 ) be an external point to the parabola x 2 = 4ay and let Q be a point on the parabola
with parameter t.
y Now, the equation of the tangent at Q is

y - tx + at 2 = 0.
If Plies on this tangent then (.Xu y 1 ) satisfies the equation
so that
y 1 - tx 1 + at 2 = 0
or at 2 -tx1+Y1=0. (l)
This is a quadratic equation in 't' and x 1 , Y1 are constants
for the given point P.
108
4
Now, this quadratic has roots given by t = x 1 ± .Jx2a12 - ay 1 and will have two distinct roots when
x 1 2 > 4ay 1 , which is the condition for (x 1 , y 1 ) to be an external point.
Thus, from any external point two tangents can be drawn to the parabola.
Let the points of contact have t = t 1 at Q and t = t 2 at T, as in the diagram.
Then the equation of the chord, or secant, TQ is
2y- (t 1 + t 2 )x + 2at 1 t 2 = 0 (2)
Now, from Equation (1)
the sum of the roots= t 1 + t2 = x 1
a
the product of the roots = t 1 t 2 = y 1 .
a
Substituting in Equation (2)
2y- x1x + 2a. Y1 = 0
a a
2ay - x 1 x + 2ay 1 = 0
xx 1 = 2ay + 2ay,
= 2a(y + Y1)
and this is the equation of the chord of contact of the two tangents from an external point P(x 1 , y 1).
The chord of contact of the tangents to the parabola x 2 = 4ay from an external point (x 1 , y 1 ) is
xx 1 = 2a(y + Yt)
N.B. If P(x 1 , y 1) is on the parabola this gives the equation of the tangent at P.
Example:
Tangents are drawn from an exterior point P(2, -4) to the parabola x 2 = 8y.
Find (a) the equation of the chord of contact
(b) the points of contact of the tangents with the parabola.
Solution:
(a) The equation of the chord of contact is
xx 1 = 2a(y + Y1 ) where x 1 = 2; y 1 = -4
.'. 2x = 4(y - 4) and a = 2 as 4a = 8
2x = 4y- 16
2x- 4y + 16 = 0
x - + 8= 0 (dividing throughout by 2)
(b) To find the points of contact solve simultaneously
x 2 = 8y (1)
X - 2y + 8 = 0 (2)

From (1): y = ~

Substitute in (2): x - 0

4x- x 2 + 32 = 0
x 2 - 4x- 32 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 4) = 0
.'. x = 8 or x = -4
and from (1) y = 8 or y = 2.
Thus the points of contact are (8, 8) and (- 4, 2).

The parabola has many geometrical properties which may be proved by means of analytical geometry.
When this method is used, coordinate axes are chosen so as to make the equation of the parabola
as simple as possible.
Thus, when proving these general properties, use the standand parabola, x 2 = 4ay (or x = 2at,
y = at 2 ), where
110
the vertex is at the origin, 0 y
the y axis is the axis of the parabola
the x axis is the tangent at the vertex.
In addition, the focus Sis (0, a)
the directrix is the line y = - a
the focal length is a.
General points are expressed in terms of parame-
ters p, t, q, etc.
A diagram should be sketched for each
example.
~--------a -------~
y =-a
Example (i):
Prove that the tangent at an arbitrary point P on the parabola is equally inclined to the axis of the
parabola and the focal chord through P.
Solution:
y Let the axis be chosen so that the parabola has the
equation
x 2 = 4ay.
Let P(2ap, ap 2 ) be a general point on the parabola.
S(O, a) is the focus
PSP' is the focal chord through P.
Let the tangent at P meet the axis at T.
It is necessary to prove that
LSPT = LSTP.
It is thus sufficient to show that
L
X
SP =ST.
K-- Let PK be drawn perpendicular to the directrix

y = -a, cutting the x axis at L.
Now from the definition of the parabola, the distance of P from the focus equals the distance of P
from the directrix
i.e. PS = PK
= PL + LK (from diagram)
2
= ap +a (distance is always positive)
i.e. PS = ap 2 + a (1)
Now the equation of the tangent PT is
y- px + ap 2 = 0
This cuts the axis of the parabola when x = 0:
.'. y = -apz
Thus Tis the point (0, -ap 2 )
Now ST= SO+ OT
=a+ ap 2
111
.'. from (1) ST = PS
LSPT = LSTP (opposite equal sides),
and so the tangent is equally inclined to the focal chord, PP', and the axis of the parabola, ST.
N.B. This property has great practical application in parabolic reflectors for telescopes, searchlights
and other instruments requiring the use of parallel rays.
y Consider a cross-section through a parabolic reflector.
L
A ray of light LP, parallel to the axis yO meets the surface
of the parabola at P and is reflected in relation to the tangent
at P.
Now as LPIIYT
the angle of incidence LPA = corresponding angle
STP = angle of reflection SPT by the previous result.
Thus, the reflected ray passes through the focus S.
As the same result applies for all such light (or radio) waves,
all the rays will concentrate at the focus. Another use would
be to collect heat rays from the sun to give an intense heat
source at S.
T For a searchlight or spotlight, the light source would be at
the focus and the light rays would be reflected as a cylinder of
parallel rays.
Example (ii):
Prove that the tangents to a parabola at the extremities of a focal chord intersect at right angles on
the directrix.
Solution:
y Let the parabola be x 2 = 4ay.
P(2ap, ap 2 ) and Q(2aq, aq 2 ) are the extremities of a
focal chord PQ.
Let the tangents at P, Q meet at T.
It is necessary to prove
(i) T lies on the directrix y = -a
(ii) LPTQ = 90°.
Now the equation of the chord PQ is :
Y - t(p + q)x + apq = 0.
As PQ is a focal chord it passes through S(O, a)
i.e. (0, a) satisfies the equation
.'.a+ apq = 0
apq = a
pq = -1 (1)
The equation of the tangent from P is: y - px + ap 2 =0 (2)

The equation of the tangent at Q is: y - qx + aq 2 =0 (3)
To find the co-ordinates ofT solve these equations.
equation (3) - equation (2):
(p - q)x + a(q 2 - p 2 ) = 0
(p - q)x = a(pz - qz)
x = a(p + q), p -=1- q.
112
substituting in equation (2):
y px- ap 2
=
ap(p + q) - ap 2
=
= ap 2 + apq - ap 2
= apq
but from equation (1), pq = -1
.'. y =-a
Thus T(a(p + q), -a) lies on the directrix y = -a. (i)
Also the gradient of PT = p
the gradient of QT = q
and pq = - 1, from equation (1)
.'. PT is perpendicular to QT (product of gradients = -1)
i.e. LPTQ = 90°. (ii)
Thus, the tangents at the ends of a focal chord intersect at right angles on the directrix.
Example (iii):
P and Q are points on the parabola x 2 = 4ay with parameters p, q. The tangents at P and Q meet
at T and M is the mid-point of PQ. MT is drawn to cut the parabola at N. Prove that
(a) MT is parallel to the axis of the parabola
(b) N is the mid-point of MT
(c) the tangent at N is parallel to the chord PQ.
Solution:
Let P(2ap, ap 2 ) and Q(2aq, aq 2 ) be two points on the parabola x 2 = 4ay.
PT, QT are tangents meeting at T.
M is the mid-point of PQ and MT meets the parabola at N.
y From Example (ii)
Tis (a(p + q), apq)
Now, the mid-point M has coordinates
2ap + 2aq ap + aq )
2 2
( 2 ' 2
= ( a(p + q), a(pz 2+ qz))
Thus M and T have the same abscissa

and so MTjjyO, the axis of the parabola. (1)
Now at N, x = a(p + q) and this satisfies the
equation of the parabola x 2 = 4ay .
.'. 4ay = a 2 (p + q) 2
a(p + q)z
y=

2
i.e. N is ( a(p + q), a(p : q) )
a(pz + qz) + apq )

Also, the mid-point of MT is ( a(p + q),
2
= (a(p + q), a(pz + ~2 + 2pq))
= (a(p + q), a(p : q)z)
= coordinates of N
Thus N is the mid-point of MT. (2)

The problem is to find the locus of some given point as it moves in relation to a given parabola. For
example, find the locus of the mid-point of focal chords in a parabola.
The aim is to form an equation in x and y by eliminating other variables, usually the parameters
of given points.
To do this use is made of
(a) The general results known for the parabola
• equation of a tangent
e equation of a normal
• equation of chord of contact
e if PQ is a focal chord then pq = -1
e equation of a chord PQ.
(b) general algebraic results
• p2 + q2 = (p + q)2 - 2pq
• p3 - q3 = (p - q)(p2 + pq + q2)
• p3 + q3 = (p + q)(p2 - pq + q2).
(c) any information given in the question.
Example (i):
The parabolax 2 = 4ay has focus Sand vertex 0. At a pointP(2ap, ap 2), which moves on the parabola,
tangents are drawn and from S, a perpendicular SM is drawn to meet the tangent at M.
Find the locus of M.
Solution:
y Let M have coordinates (x, y).
Equation of PM is y- px + ap 2 = 0 (1)
Now the gradient of PM= p
1
.·. the gradient of SM =
p
Thus the equation of SM is
y- a= _ _!_(x- 0)
p
py- ap = -x
py + x- ap = 0 (2)
To find the coordinates of M, solve equations (1) and (2):

equation (2) x p: p 2y + px - ap 2 = 0 (3)
equation (1) +equation (3): (1 + p 2 )y = 0
y = 0.
This is independent of p (and of x) and so the locus of M has equation y = 0.
.·. The required locus is the x axis.
Example (ii):
Show that the locus of the mid-point of a set of parallel chords in a parabola is a line parallel to the
axis of the parabola.
116
Solution:
Consider the parabola x 2 = 4ay. Let PQ be one
position of the chord and let M be its mid-point.
Now the gradient of PQ is
ap 2 - aq 2 _ a(p + q)(p - q)
2ap - 2aq - 2a(p - q)
= p ; q as p =F q.
As this is constant for all the parallel chords, let
p; q= c,say (a)
2
.
Now M has coordmates (2ap + 2aq , ap + aq 2 ) = ( a(p a 2 + q 2 ))
+ q), 2(p ·
2 2
Thus at M, x a(p + q) =
2ac = from (a)
i.e. the mid-point of the parallel chords has abscissa given by x = 2ac where a and c are constants.
Thus the required locus is the line x = 2ac; a line parallel to the axis of the parabola.
Example (iii):
The normals to the parabola x 2 = 4ay at points p, q intersect at R. If the chord PQ varies so that
(when produced) it always passes through a point T(O, - 2a), show that the locus of R is the given
parabola.
Solution:
Consider the parabola x 2 = 4ay. Let PQ be one such chord passing, when produced, through
T(O, - 2a). The normals at P and Q meet at R.
The equation of PQ: 2y - (p + q)x + 2apq = 0
-----

As it passes through T(O, - 2a)
- 4a - 0 + 2apq = 0

(a)
P(2ap, ap') pq = 2
\ Equation of the normal PR:
\ x + py = ap 3 + 2ap (1)
\ equation of the normal QR:
\
\ x + qy = aq 3 + 2aq (2)
\ To find R solve Equations (1) and (2):
\ Equation (1) - Equation (2):
\ (p - q)y = a(p 3 - q 3 ) + 2a(p - q)
\ (p - q)y = a(p - q)(p 2 + pq + q 2 ) + 2a(p - q)
\
Dividing both sides by p - q, p =F q.
y = a(p 2 + pq + q 2 ) + 2a ({3)
X
Substitute in Equation (1)
x = ap 3 + 2ap - py

= ap 3 + 2ap - p(ap + apq + aq + 2a)
= ap + 2ap- ap - ap q- apq 2 - 2ap

= -apq(p + q) . (y)
117
Now for all chords PQ through T, from Equation (o:)
pq = 2
.'. x = - 2a(p + q) }
and y = a(p 2 + pq + q 2 ) + 2a
= a(p 2 + 2pq + q 2 ) + 2a - apq

= a(p + q)z

xz = 4az(p + q)z

2. This method does not give the solution where() = 180° (n radians) as it results from! = 90°

METHOD 2
This method involves expressing
a cos 8 + b sin 8 in the form A cos (8 - (X)
where A is positive
(X is called a 'subsidiary angle' in the range 0 ~ (X ~ 2n.
=
Let a cos 8 + b sin 8 A cos (8 - (X)
=A cos 8 cos (X + A sin 8 sin (X.
Equate coefficients
a = A cos (X ( 1)
b = A sin (X (2)
A sin a b

Square and add equations (1) and (2)
a 2 + b 2 = A2 (sin 2 (X + cos 2 a)
= Az
.'. A = ..j"~2~+-b"'2 ( 4)
(the positive square root is taken as A > 0).

The quadrant in which a lies is determined from the signs of sin a and cos a in equations (1) and (2).
Thus
a cos 8 + b sin 8 =A cos (8 - a)
where A = )a 2 + b 2
b
tan a=-
a
and satisfies sin a = ~; cos a = ~.
Similar forms could be used:

b sin 8 - a cos 8 =
A sin (8 - a)
=
A sin 8 cos a - A cos 8 sin a
where b = A cos a
and a= A sin a
a cos 8 - b sin 8 =
A cos (8 + a)
=
A cos 8 cos a - A sin 8 sin a
where b = A sin a
and a = A cos a.
In examples any form may be used but for ease of working it is best to select the identity which gives
the same sign between the terms on the right as exists between the terms on the left.
lt is most important to learn the process rather than learn the formulae.

genuis. He developed his version of calculus in 1665.
CHAPTER 25
Already in this course integration has been studied as:

I. finding the primitive function for a given functionf(x) (also called the indefinite integral).
For example,
the primitive function of x
= Jxdx
2
=~ + c, where 'c' is the constant of integration
r
2. evaluation of the definite integral.
f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a),
= [F(x)]~
where F(x) is a primitive function ofj(x)
3. the application of the definite integral to find

(a) the area under a curve (or between two curves),
(b) the volume of the solid revolution when an area is rotated about one of the axes.
BASIC RULES:
If a
I. r
~ b ~ c then,
f(x)dx + f f(x)dx = r f(x)dx
2. r {f(x) ± g(x)}dx = r r f(x)dx ± g(x)dx
f ± g(x) }dx f ±
r
and {f(x) = f(x)dx f g(x)dx
3. f f(x)dx = - f(x)dx
(reversal of the limits; changes the sign of the definite integral).

As has already be seen in the earlier examples of integration, some functions may be changed to the

To aid the process of changing to a recognisable form, use is also made of substitution, which
results in a change of variable.
In mathematics an important use is made of what are called differentials.
If u = f(x), so that the derivative ddu exists then the differential of u, written as du, is defined as
X
du
du = dx. dx.
The differential
du = (~~). dx, where
u = f(x) andf(x) may be differentiated.
This result is used to change a variable from x to u.

The method of substitution may also be applied to the evaluation of definite integrals.
When limits are involved, a change in variable always means a change in the limits of integration.
For example, if the limits of integration are from x = 2 to x = 4 and the variable is changed by
the substitution
u = 2x + 1, then :
when x = 2, u = 2 x 2 + 1
= 5
X= 4, u=2x4+1
= 9.
Thus the new limits of integration are from u = 5 to u = 9.

In evaluating a definite integral by use of change of variable, there must be a corresponding

change in the limits of integration.

1. A particle moves in a straight line such that its distance x metres from the origin at time t seconds
is given by x = t 3 - 9t 2 + 15t - 9. Find when and where the particle comes to rest.
2. A particle is moving in a straight line. At time t seconds its position x metres is given by

X = 2t + 1 + - - .

Find: (a) the initial position at timet = 0.
(b) the velocity at time t = 2.
(c) the acceleration at timet = 1.
3. A particle is moving in the x axis. It started from rest at time t = 0 from the point x = 5. If its
acceleration at timet is 4 + 6t, find the position of the particle when t = 3.
4. The velocity of a particle moving along a straight line is given in metres per second by:
x = 2 + 2t- 3t 2
where t seconds denotes the time. If the particle is at the origin when t = 0, find the distances of
the particle from the origin when t = 1 and when t = 2. Also find the acceleration of the particle
when t = 3.
5. The displacement, x metres, of a particle moving in a straight line at time t seconds is given by
x = 12t - t 3 . Find:
(a) the time when the particle comes temporarily to rest.
(b) its displacement and acceleration at that time.
6. A particle moves from rest at a point 0 in a straight line, in such a way that its velocity, v m/s, t
seconds after leaving 0, is given by
v = 20t- 5t 2 •
The motion continues until the particle comes to rest at P. Calculate:
(a) the distance OP
(b) the greatest velocity of the particle.

Previously velocity and acceleration have been expressed as functions of time. If the velocity is
expressed as a function of position we need to find a formula for acceleration.

From Equations (1) and (2) a = ~x .
Hence:
Example (i):
The velocity of a particle moving in a straight line is given by v = 2x + 1, where x metres is the
distance from a fixed point 0 and v is the velocity in metres per second. Find the acceleration of the
particle when it is 3m from 0.

When x = 3, a = 14.
When the displacement from 0 is 3m the acceleration is 14 mjs 2 •
Example (ii):
The acceleration of a particle is defined in terms of its position by the equation a = 2x + 4. If v = 5
when x = 2, find the velocity when x = 4.

The velocity of the particle at x = 4 is approximately 8·06 mjs.
Example (iii):
A particle moves such that when it is x metres from the origin its acceleration is given by a = -!e-x.
Find its velocity when x =

i.e. v2 = e-x + C
But v = I when x = 0, .'. C = 0.
Hence v 2 = e-x
v= ±J?X.
The condition v = I when x = 0 is only satisfied by the positive solution .
.'. v = JC_ is the velocity equation required.
When x = 3, v = ~

Hence the velocity at x = 3 is approximately 0·22 mjs.
I. Given x = J6X, find the acceleration x.

2. A particle moves so that when it is x metres from the origin its velocity is given by v = 2x - 1.
Find the acceleration of the particle when x = 4.
3. A particle moves with velocity v metres per second where v2 = 2x + 4 and x metres is the dis-
placement from the origin.
(a) Find the acceleration of the particle.
(b) Find the displacement of the particle when the velocity is zero.
(c) Find the velocity of the particle when the displacement is 6 m. How do you explain the two
answers?
4. A particle is moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 2 mjs 2 • If it starts from the
origin with a velocity of -6 mjs find:
(a) an expression for the velocity in terms of the displacement.
(b) its position when the velocity is zero.
(c) the velocity of the particle when it returns to the origin.
5. A body starts 15m from the origin, having a velocity of I2 mjs towards the origin. If the body
is subjected to a constant acceleration of 3 mjs 2 in the opposite direction to its initial motion
find:

(b) the velocity when the displacement is 2·5 m.
6. A particle moves such that when it is x metres from the origin its acceleration is x 2 mjs 2 • If initially
the particle is at rest 2 m from the origin, find its velocity when it is 4 m from the origin.

(a) an expression for x in terms oft
(b) an expression for v in terms oft.
Suppose a particle moves with constant acceleration a mjs 2 with initial displacement x 0 and initial
velocity u mjs.

Integrating v =at+ C, but v = u when t = 0, therefore C = u
Hence v = u +at (1)

That is dt = u +at
Integrating x = ut + 1at 2 + k, but x = x 0 when t = 0, therefore k = x 0
Hence x - x 0 = ut + 1at 2
Put s = x- x 0 (the change in displacement)
s = ut + 1at 2 (2)
Squaring Equation (1) v2 = (u + at) 2

Since s = ut + !at we have v = u + 2as.

Equations of motion under constant acceleration

v = u +at (1)
s = ut + !at 2 (2)
v2 = u 2 + 2as (3)
When a body is in vertical motion under gravity it has a constant acceleration of g mjs 2 downwards,
where g ~ 9·8.
Hence the equations of motion v = u + at, s = ut + !at 2 and v2 = u 2 + 2as apply to problems
concerning vertical motion under gravity, and if we take the upwards direction as positive then
a= -g.
Example:
A body is projected vertically into the air with a velocity of 49 mjs.
(a) How high will it rise?
(b) How long will it be before it returns to its starting point?
173
Solution:
(a) At the greatest height the velocity is zero
u = 49 Using v2 = u2 + 2as
v= 0 0 = 49 2 + 2 x (- 9·8)s
a = -9·8 s = 122·5
s = ?
The greatest height reached is 122·5 m.
t =-
(b) When the body returns to the starting point its displacement is zero
u = 49 Using s = ut + iat 2
v =- 0 = 49t + i(-9·8)! 2
a = -9·8 0 = t(49 - 4·9t)
s = 0 = 0 or t = 10
t = ? The body returns to the starting point after 10 seconds.
1. A body is projected vertically with a velocity of 24·5 mjs. What time elapses before it returns to
its starting point and what is the maximum height attained?
2. A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 4·9 mjs. What time elapses before its
velocity is 2 m/s?
3. A steel ball is projected vertically and reaches its maximum height in 6 seconds. What height was
attained and what was the velocity of projection?
4. With what velocity must an object be projected vertically to reach a height of 50 m? How long
will it take to reach this height?
5. A stone is thrown vertically into the air with a velocity of 10 mjs.
(a) How high will it rise?
(b) At what times after projection will it be 3m above ground and what will be its speed at those
times?
6. A body is let fall from a height of 150 m. What is its height and velocity after falling freely for
5 seconds?
7. A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 80 mjs. What will be its position and
velocity after 4 seconds?
8. A body is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 27 mfs from a position 60 m high. How
long will it be before it reaches the ground below and what will be its velocity just before it hits
the ground?
9. A stone is let fall from a tall building and 1 second later another stone is projected vertically
downwards with a velocity of 20 mfs. When will the second stone overtake the first?
10. An object is projected vertically upwards with a speed of 49 mfs. Two seconds later another
object is projected vertically upwards from the same spot at the same speed. Find when and where
the two objects meet.
11. From a stationary helicopter a steel ball is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of 4·9 mjs.
If the ball reaches the ground in 5 seconds, how high was the helicopter when the ball was projected?
12. An object falling in a vertical line passes a window 3m high in-! second. Find the distance above
the top of the window from which the object was let fall?
174
Suppose a particle is projected with a velocity V at an
angle of a to the horizontal, then:
the horizontal component of this velocity is V cos a
the vertical component of this velocity is V sin a V sin a
Now let us consider the motion of a projectile fired on a horizontal plane .
.I
If air resistance is neglected the only acceleration acting on the body is that due to gravity, which
is acting vertically downwards.
There is no horizontal acceleration and hence throughout the motion the horizontal component
of the velocity is constant and equal to the initial horizontal velocity of V cos a.
We now consider separately the vertical and horizontal components of the motion.
VERTICAL MOTION
Since the vertical motion is under constant acceleration we can use the relevant formulae where
a = - g and u = V sin a.
Time of flight-the time of flight is twice the time to attain greatest height.
-at the highest point the vertical velocity is zero.
The time to attain highest point is given by:
u = V sin a v = u + at

Example (i):
A stone is projected with a velocity of 29·4 mjs at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. Find:
(a) the maximum height attained
(b) the range on a horizontal plane.
Solution:

Maximum height is approximately 11 m.

(b) Time to reach highest point.
u = 29·4 sin 30° Using v = u + at

The range is approximately 76·4 m.
N.B. The formulae for greatest height and range could be used but it is probably safer not to rely
on memory and to work each question from the beginning. Also, in some questions the cir-
cumstances change and the fortrjulae cannot be applied so easily.

The time of flight will be given by the positive solution.

Although most problems concerning projectiles can be solved using the techniques so far employed,
it is of interest to show that, neglecting air resistance, the trajectory of a projectile is parabolic in shape.
Problems can, of course, be solved using the mathematics developed in this trajectory.
By considering the vertical and horizontal components of the motion of a projectile we can establish
the equation of its trajectory.
We use the x andy axes for horizontal and vertical axes and origin as the point of projection.

VERTICAL MOTION
The initial velocity in a vertical direction is V sin a. If we take the upwards direction as positive the
particle experiences a uniform acceleration of -g due to gravity.

Thus dt 2 = -g

Hence dt - -gt +c
But dy V sin a when t = 0, thus c = V sin a

Thus dy = V sin a - g t

Hence y = V sin a . t - !g t 2 + k
But y = 0 when t = 0, thus k = 0
Giving y = V sin a . t - !g t 2

HORIZONTAL MOTION
The initial velocity in a horizontal direction is V cos IX and since no forces are acting in a horizontal
direction, this velocity will remain uniform.

That is V cos IX

thus x = V cos IX • t + c
But x = 0 when t = 0, thus c = 0
Hence x = V cos IX • t
Thus the pair of equations: x = V cos IX • t ( 1)
y = V sin IX. t - !gt 2 (2)
gives a parametric representation of the flight path of the projectile.

When moving in simple harmonic motion, a particle is oscillating backwards and forwards along a
straight line about a central position. This occurs in practice in the motion of a mass attached to a
spring, in the motion of a pendulum bob or in the vertical motion of a float as it rises and falls with
the tide.
179
One way to investigate simple harmonic motion is
to start by considering the motion of a point Q (see
Diagram) moving with uniform speed around a circle
with centre 0 and radius a.
As Q moves the angle echanges with respect to time.
The rate of change of e is called the angular velocity
ofQ.
Now, if we take n to be the angular velocity of Q
then:
de
dt = l1.
Integrating, we have e = 111 + a, where a is the constant of integration.

Now let us consider the motion of the point P which is the projection of the point Q on the x axis.
As the point Q moves around the circle we can see that the point P will oscillate along the x axis
between A and A', the diameter.
The motion of the point P is said to be simple harmonic motion.
Now, if Q is the point (x, y)
then OP = a cos e.
That is, the distance x of the point P from the centre 0 is given by:
X= a COS e.
But since e = nt + a, the distance x at timet is given by:
x = a cos(nt + a) (1)
a ~,
0 p
A' A
X
A point moving in a straight line is describing simple harmonic motion if:

x = a cos(nt + a)
where a, nand a are constants, a > 0, 11 > 0.
(i) If t = 0, then x = a cos a, which gives the initial position of the point in its motion along AA'.
(ii) nt + a is called the phase of the motion and a is called the initial phase.
AMPLITUDE
The maximum value of x is called the amplitude of the motion.
Since the maximum value of cos(nt + a) is 1, the maximum value of x = a cos(nt + a) is a. Thus
the amplitude is a.
From Equation (1) it follows immediately by differentiation that:
x = v = -an sin(nt + a) (2)
x = v = -an 2 cos(nt + a) (3)
where_\; and x are the velocity and acceleration at time t.
PERIOD
The period of the motion (T) is the time taken for the particle to complete one oscillation. That is to
return to the same position travelling in the same direction.
2
The period is given by T = n.
n
180
2
This can be seen by noting that in Equations (1), (2) and (3) above if tis increased by n the values
- 11
of x, x and x are unaltered. The result can also
be seen from the motion of Q around the circle of
2
reference since if n is the angular velocity of Q, the time for a full revolution must be n.
11
FREQUENCY
Iff oscillations take place in 1 second and each oscillation takes time T then we have
fT= 1
and f = _I_ = !!_
T 2n
f is called the frequency of the simple harmonic motion and is equal to the reciprocal of the period.

USEFUL PROPERTIES OF SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION

We now investigate Equations (4) and (5) to derive some further properties of simple harmonic
motion.
From v2 = n2(a 2 - x 2) we can see that:
(i) v = 0 when x = a or x = -a. That is, at the extremities of the motion the velocity is zero.
(ii) When x = 0, the velocity takes its maximum value of ±an. That is, at the origin or centre of
motion the velocity is a maximum.
From x = -n 2 x we can see that:
(iii) When x = 0, x = 0. That is, the acceleration is zero at the origin.
(iv) When x = ±a, x = + an 2. That is, the acceleration is a maximum at the extremities of the
motion.
An alternative definition of simple harmonic motion is:
If a particle moves in a straight line such that its acceleration towards a fixed point in the line is pro-
portional to its distance from the point, then the particle is moving in simple harmonic motion.
Equation (5) above, x = - n 2 x, satisfies this definition and hence an acceleration equation in this
form indicates that the particle is moving in simple harmonic motion.
Example (i):
A particle moving with simple harmonic motion starts from rest at a distance 6 m from the centre of
oscillation. If the period is 4n seconds:
181
(a) find the time taken to move to a point 3m from the origin
(b) find the velocity and acceleration at this point.
Solution:

(a) From T = -

2n 2n 1
n=-=-=-
T 4n 2
In simple harmonic motion the velocity is zero at maximum amplitude. As the point starts from
rest 6 m from the centre of oscillation the amplitude is 6 m.
Thus, using x = a cos (nt + c.:)
X = 6 cos Ctt + c.:)
When t = 0, x = 6
6 = 6 cos (0 + c.:)
.', COS IX = 1
Thus c.:= 0
Hence x = 6 cos tt
When x = 3, 3 = 6 cos tt
cos Ctt) = t
tt
= cos- 1 t
tt = ~
t = 237t

The time taken to move to a point 3 m from the origin is 3" seconds.
(b) When x = 3, the velocity is given by
vz = nz(az - xz)
= !(36- 9)
v =J27
--
2
Therefore when x = 3, the velocity is approximately 2·6 mfs.
When x = 3, the acceleration is given by
.X= -n 2 x
-! x 3 = -imfs 2
The acceleration is -0·75 mfs 2 •

CHAPTER 27
Consider the simple linear function y f(x)

= y
=
2x. 6
This function is continuous and increasing over any y
5
domain within the set of real numbers. For convenience
select the domain as 0 ~ x ~ 3. It is satisfied by an infinite 4
set of ordered pairs such as
{(0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (1~, 3)} 3
The function/: y = 2x takes any value of x in the domain 2
and transforms it to a unique value of y. For example:
OHO
1 H2
2H4. 3 4 5 6 X
The range of the function is the set of y values

{0 ~ y ~ 6}.
As often happens in mathematics we may need to use the reverse or inverse operation. For example,
the inverse of multiplication is division; the inverse to finding the square root is squaring and the
inverse of finding loge x is taking the exponential, ex.
In the above case, a function is required which reverses the second set of elements back to the original
set.
OHO
2H1
4H2
Thus, for each y in the range off there is a new function which reverses the sets of ordered pairs.
For example, it would be satisfied by the set of ordered pairs.
{(6, 3), (4, 2), (3, 1!), (2, 1), (0, 0)}
and the general element (x, y) becomes the element (y, x).
Thus for f: y = 2x the inverse function may be expressed as
x = 2y or on solving for y
X
y = g(x), say.
2=
Now the domain of g(x) = {0 ~ x ~ 6}
= range of f(x)
and the range of g(x) = {0 ~ y ~ 3}
= domain ofj(x).
Consider the point P(I, 2) satisfying f(x) = 2x
and the point Q(2, 1) satisfying g(x) = ~·
1 2 2 1
The mid-point of PQ is M = ( ; , ; )
= (~, ~)
which lies on the line y = x. Similarly for other corresponding points. Thus the graphs of f(x) and
its inverse g(x) are reflections in the line y = x.
186
y
Thus f(x) transforms 3 H 6
6
g(x) transforms 6 H 3.
For the domain 0 ~ x ~ 3

f(x), g(x) are called mutually inverse functions so
that if both are applied in succession to any point
in the domain, the original value results.
For example, when x = 2: f(x) = 2x
f(2) = 4
X
and g(x) =

g(4) = 2, the original value.

N.B. (i) f- 1(x) is not the same as {f(x)} - 1 = f/Y).

(ii) A function has an inverse if a horizontal line cuts the graph of the function at only one
point.
If y = f(x), with domain a ~ x ~ band rangef(a) ~ y ~ f(b) has an inverse y = f- 1 (x) then
the domain of y = f- 1(x) isf(a) ~ X ~ f(b) and the range is a ~ y ~ b.
For y = f(x) to have an inverse each x in the domain must have a unique value y and eachy must
correspond to a unique value of x. (This is called a 1-1 correspondence.)

The function y = sin x means that for any given real value of x it is possible to find a unique real
number y called the 'sine of x'.
191
To find an inverse function, which reverses this operation, is to interchange the x andy elements.
Thus if, f: y = sin x (i)
f- 1 : x = sin y (ii)
It is now necessary to find yin terms of x, i.e., to find a function so that y is a real number whose
'sine is x'.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to express y as a function of x by manipulating Equation (ii).
Now, f: y = sin x and f- 1 : x = sin yare reflections of each other in the line y = x and so it is
possible to draw the graph of x = sin y.
f: y =sin x
f7r /
•: x ,~sin y
From the graph it is obvious that x = sin y is not a function as for each value of x there is more
then one value of y.
To overcome the two problems
1. The inverse sine function is defined as a new function, which is written as
y = sin- 1 x.
This is read as 'sine to the minus one x'.
(i) This also appears on many calculators an in many books as y = arc sin x.
1
(ii) sin- 1 x does not mean the reciprocal (sin x)- 1 = -.--.
Slll X
2. To overcome the second problem, the domain of y = sin x is restricted so that the inverse
y = sin- 1 x exists as an inverse function.
It is usual to restrict the domain of y = sin x to the interval -~ ~ x ~ ~which still allows
the full range -1 ~ y ~ 1. The inverse function y = sin- 1 x now exists and has as domain
-1 ~ x ~ 1 and range-~~ y ~ ~·These functions are represented by the continuous lines on
the previous graph.
192
Thus if
f: y = sin x with D 1 = {x: -~ < x < ~}
R1 = {y: - 1 < y < 1}
then the inverse function is
f- 1 : y = sin - 1 x ( = arc sin x) with Dr 1 = {x: - 1 < x < 1}
Rrt = {y: -~ < y < ~}
and its graph is y
-1 X
Now the general equation y = sin x has many solutions.

By referring to the graph of y = sin x on Page 192, if y has the value 1, then x could have the values
~ or - 3{. If the graph were extended in both directions other values would also satisfy the equation,
e.g., s;, 92n, _ 7{, _ 1~".
The equation y = sin x, with changed symbols could be written as
sine= b.
It is now necessary to find a general solution for e, for any given b.
Take b =!
i.e. sine =!
As sine is positive in the first and second quadrants and sing = !,
for 0 < e < 2n the solutions are~ and n - ~·
Taking the next revolution,
for 2n < e < 4n the solutions are 2n + ~and 3n - ~,and so on,
for 4n < e < 6n the solutions are 4n + ~and 5n - ~,
for 6n < e < 8n the solutions are 6n + ~and 7n - ~,
for a negative revolution,

-2n < e < 0, the solutions are -2n +~and -n- ~·
From these results, if 11 is even
e = 111t + ~
if 11 is odd
e= 111t- *
These can be combined as a general solution
e = 111t + ( -1)" . ~where 11 is any integer.
Now as~= sin- ! 1
e = 111t + ( -1)" sin- 1 (!)

In the general case
e = 111t + (- 1)" sin - 1 b.
[-~-h~s~ t~-;~~~;~~~l~ti~~-:L~~ e ~-b is e : 11n + ( -1 )" sin - 1 b, where 11 is any integer.
193
THE INVERSE COSINE FUNCTION
As for y = sin- 1 x, a similar inverse function may be found for
f: Y =COS X
Then f- 1 : x = cos y
and by definition this is expressed as
y = cos- 1 x (cos to the minus 1, x)
To ensure the existence of an inverse a restriction must be placed on the domain off If the graph of
y = cos xis considered a suitable restriction, which covers the full range of the function, -1 ::::; y ::::; 1
would be to take the domain as
0::::; x::::; n.
This is shown as the unbroken line.
y
-COS X
-~ hr X
Hence, on interchanging the x and y values the domain of y = cos- 1 x is -1 ::::; x ::::; 1 and its
range is 0 ::::; y ::::; n.
Its graph is the reflection of y = cos x, 0 ::::; x ::::; n in the line y = x.
The graph cuts the y axis at (0, -f), which is the reflection of the point y
(-f, 0). It is concave upwards when -1 < x < 0 and concave down-
wards from 0 < x < 1.
'x
-1
Thus, iff: y = cos x with D 1 = {x: 0 ::::; x::::; n}

R1 = {y: -1 ::::; y ::::; 1}
then the inverse function is
f- 1 :y = cos- 1 x withD1 -, = {x: -1::::; x::::; 1}
Rr' = {y: 0 ::::; y ::::; n}.
Its graph is
y
-1 0 X
194
Consider the equation
cos e = b
Let b = t, then
for 0 < e < 2n, e = -j or 2n - -j as cos e is positive in the first and fourth quadrants.
For 2n < 8 < 4n, the solutions are 8 = 2n + -j or 4n - -j,
for 4n < e < 6n, the solutions are e = 4n + -j or 6n - -j,
for 6n < e < 8n, the solutions are e = 6n + ~ or 8n - ~.
for -2n < e < 0, the solutions are e = -2n + -j or 0- -j.
Thus a general solution would be
e = 2nn ± -j where n is any integer.
This could be written as
e = 2nn ± cos- 1 (t)
Thus, the general solution to
cos e = b is
e = 2nn ± cos- 1 b
THE INVERSE TANGENT FUNCTION

Iff is defined as y = tan x then an inverse function exists, given by
f- 1 : x = tan y which, by definition, is equivalent to
y = tan- 1 x (tan to the minus 1, x)
By looking at the graph of y = tan x, it is evident that a restricted domain is needed if the inverse
function is to exist.
The domain off: y = tan x is taken as --I < x < -I.
N .B. The inequality is less than rather than less than or equal to as the curve has vertical asymptotes
at x = -I and x = - -r. The range remains the set of all real y.
Thus, y = tan- 1 x has as domain the set of all real x and the range is --I < y < -r.
In this case, y = --I andy = -I are horizontal asymptotes.
This graph passes through the origin and

when x < 0 it is concave upwards,
when x > 0 it is concave downwards.
195
Thus if,J: y = tan x with D 1 = {x: -~ < x < ~}
R1 = {y: y is any real}
then the inverse function
f- 1 : y = tan- 1 x with Drt = {x: xis any real}
R1 -t = {y: -~ < y < ~}
and its graph is
-,'
To solve the equation

tan e = 1
On the interval
-~ < e < ~. e = -!t
~ < e < 32"' e = n + -![:
32" < e < 52"' e = 2n + -![:
52" < e < 72"' e = 3n + -![:
and so the general solution could be expressed as
e = nn +-![:
or e = nn + tan- 1 (1) where n is any integer, positive, negative or zero.
Thus, the general solution of

tan e = b is
e = nn + tan- 1 b, where n is any integer.

CHAPTER 28
I
The word polynomial is the general word to describe an algebraic expression with many terms.
The algebraic expression 5x4 + 6x 3 + 7x + 8 is a polynomial in x and is the sum of four terms.
The number 5 in 5x4 is the coefficient of x 4 . The coefficient of x 3 is 6 and the coefficient of xis 7.
The term 8, which is independent of x, is called the constant term. The highest power of x occurring
in this polynomial is 4. We say the polynomial is of degree 4.
More formally:
A real polynomial P(x) of degree n is an expression of the form

2 3 1
P(x) =Po + PtX + P2X + P3X + · · · + P,-tx"- + p,x" (p,. =I 0)
where the real numbers p 0 , p 1 , p 2, ... , p, are called the coefficients of P(x).
The degree of P(x) is that of the highest power of x occurring.
(i) P(x) is defined for all real x and is a continuous and differentiable function of x.
(ii) The equation P(x) = 0 is called a polynomial equation of degree n, and those real numbers x
which satisfy the equation are called the real roots of the equation or the real zeros of the corre-
sponding polynomial.
(iii) In the general polynomial p 0 is called the constant term. A polynomial consisting only of a
constant term has degree zero, since Po = p 0 x 0 •
(iv) The polynomial in whichp 0 = p 1 = P2 = · · · = p, = 0 is called the zero polynomial.
1. For the following polynomials give the degree, the coefficient of the highest power of x and the
constant term.
(a) 9 + 6x - 3x 2 + 4x 3 (d) 3 + x - x 2 + 2x 3 - 6x 4

2. If a polynomial function is defined by P(x) = 3x4 + 2x 3 - x 2 + 4x - 5, find:
(a) the degree of P(x) (c) the constant term
(b) the coefficient of x 2 (d) the value of P(1), P(O), P( -1).
3. Add these two polynomials:
4x 3 + 2x 2 - 7 and 5x4 - 3x 3 - x + 2.
What is the degree of the sum?
4. What is the degree of the product of the two polynomials:
2x 2 + 3x and 4x 3 - 2x 2 + 1?
5. What is the degree of each polynomial answer?
(a) (2x 3 + x 2 - x) + (x 2 - 4x - 6) (c) (3x 3 + 2x- 4)(x 2 - 5x)
(b) (3x 4 - 2x 3 + x - 4) - (3x 4 + 3x 3 - x 2 - 8) (d) (x 2 + x- 2) 2 .
6. For the following polynomials find the values indicated.
(a) P(x) = x 4 - 2x, find P(1), P( -2), P(O)
(b) f(x) = 2x 3 + x 2 - 5x + 4, findf(l),f(0),/(2)
(c) g(x) = 2x4 - 3x 2 + 6x - 8, findf(O),J( -2),/(2).

7. Which of the following algebraic expressions are not polynomials?
(a) 6 - 3x 2 + x 3 (c) 2x - x + 1 (e) 4x - 2
(b) 4 + 7x - ~2 (d) 3x4 - 7x - 2 (f) 8x - log x
8. Write down the derivatives of each of the polynomials:

(a) 2 + 6x + 3x 2 (c) 7x - 2 (e) (x 2 + x)(5x - 3)
(b) x 3 - 4x + 3 (d) x 5 - 4x 2 + 3x - 1 (f) (3x 2 + 2) 3 .
9. If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n > 0, show that P'(x) is a polynomial and state its degree.
10. (a) Solve the polynomial equation x 2 - x - 6 = 0.
(b) What are the zeros of P(x) = x 2 - x - 6?
Certain polynomials have graphs which are quite simple to draw. The graphs ofj(x) = 1,/(x) = x,
f(x) = x 2 ,f(x) = x 3 andf(x) = x 4 are shown below.

The zeros of a polynomial are those values of x for whichf(x) = 0. In terms of the graph of the
polynomial, the zeros are the points where the graph cuts the x axis. If a polynomial is completely
factored into linear factors it is easy to find the zeros which can then be used to sketch the graph
of the polynomial.
Example:
Sketch the graph ofj(x) = x(x- 3)(x + 2).
Solution:
The graph is a positive cubic. f(x)
The zeros are -2, 0 and 3.
Hence the graph cuts the x axis at x = -2, x = 0 and x = 3.
Plotting a few other significant points a sketch graph can be
drawn.
1. What are the zeros of the polynomial

f(x) = (x- 1)(x + 1)(x - 2)?
Using these values and other suitable points sketch the graph of the function.
217
2. Considery = -x 3 - x 2 + 2xwhichcanbewritteninfactoredformasy = -x(x- 1)(x + 2).
(a) What are the zeros of this polynomial function?
(b) By using the zeros of the function and other suitable values of x graph the function.
(c) The coefficient of x 3 in this function is negative. What effect does this have on the shape
of the graph?
3. For f(x) = (x- 1)(x + 2) 2 there is a zero at x = 1 f(x)
and two zeros have come together at x = -2.
Using these zeros and the fact that the coefficient of

When graphing polynomials use any techniques at your disposal. The following facts may also
prove useful.
- ----------- - - -- ---- -------------~---------------------
(i) For very large lxl,

DIVISION OF POLYNOMIALS
The process of division for polynomials is similar to long division for integers.
28 For example 483 divided by 17,
17)483 gives a quotient of 28 and a remainder of 7,
34 which means that:
143 483 = 17 X 28 + 7
136
7
In a similar way it is possible to divide one polynomial by another, obtaining a quotient and a re-
mainder, each of which is a polynomial.
For example we could divide 3x 3 - x 2 + 3x + 4 by x 2 + 2x
3x - 7 Each term in the quotient is obtained at each stage by dividing
x2 + 2x)3x 3 - x2 + 3x +4 leading term into leading term.
3x + 6x
3 2
That is 3x 3 + x 2 = 3x
- 7x 2
+
3x + 4 and -7x 2 + x 2 = -7
- 7x 2 14x
-
17x + 4
Thus 3x 3 - x 2 + 3x + 4 divided by x 2 + 2x gives a quotient of 3x - 7 and a remainder of 17x + 14,
which means that:
3x 3 - x 2 + 3x +4 = (x
2
+ 2x)(3x - 7) + (17x + 14)
The division process can be expressed as an identity

P(x) = A(x)Q(x) + R(x)
where A(x) is the divisor, Q(x) the quotient and R(x) the remainder.
N.B. The degree of the remainder must always be less than the degree of the divisor.
219
Example (i):
Divide x 3 - llx + 2 by x- 3 and express the result in the form:
dividend = divisor x quotient + remainder
Solution:
x2 + 3x - 2
x - 3h 3
- 11x +2
x3 - 3x 2
3x 2 - llx +2
3x 2 - 9x
2x +2
2x +6
-4
The quotient is x 2 + 3x - 2 and the remainder is -4, which means that:
x 3 - llx + 2 = (x - 3)(x 2 + 3x - 2) - 4
Example (ii):
Show that f(x) = x 3 + 8x 2 + 8x - 21 is exactly divisible by x + 3 and express f(x) in factored
form.
Solution:
x2 + 5x 7
x + 3h3 + 8x 2 + 8x - 21
x3 + 3x
2
+ 8x- 21
5x 2 + 15x
- 7x - 21
- 7x - 21
Since there is no remainder f(x) is exactly divisible by x + 3.
Thus f(x) = (x + 3) (x 2 + 5x - 7).
1. Carry out the following divisions and express each result in the form P(x) = A(x)Q(x) + R(x).
(a) (5x 2 + 15x + 8) -;-. (x - 2) (f) (x4 - 2x 3 + 2x) -;-. (x - 3)
(b) (x + 7x - 2x + 8) -;-. (x + 3)

(j) (2x 4 + 3x 3 + x + 1) -;-. (x 2 + x + 1).
2. Using the division process show that the first polynomial in each example is exactly divisible
by the second polynomial and express the first polynomial as the product of two factors.
(a) (x 3 + 6x 2 + 4x - 16), (x + 4) (f) (x 4 - 4x 3 + x 2 - 6x + 8), (x - 4)

THE REMAINDER THEOREM

If the polynomial function P(x) = x 3 + x 2 - 8x + 11 is divided by x - 2 we obtain a quotient of
x 2 + 3x - 2 and a remainder of 7.
The working can be set out as follows:
220
x2 + 3x - 2
x - 2h 3 + x 2 - 8x + 11
x3 - 2x 2
3x 2 - 8x + 11
3x 2 - 6x
- 2x + 11
- 2x + 4
7
Thus P(x) = (x - 2)(x 2 + 3x - 2) + 7.
If we give x the value 2, making (x - 2) equal to zero, we obtain
P(2) = (2 - 2) (2 2 + 3 X 2 - 2) + 7
=0x8+7
= 7.
In other words P(2) gives the remainder when P(x) is divided by x - 2.
This result illustrates the following important theorem known as the Remainder Theorem.
If a given polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - a) the remainder is P(a).
The proof of this theorem is indicated in the above example. We now proceed to the general proof.
If a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - a) we obtain a polynomial quotient and remainder. Since
the remainder must be of lesser degree than the divisor it must be a constant.
That is P(x) = (x - a)(quotient) + remainder.
Let Q(x) be the quotient polynomial and R be the remainder.
Then P(x) = (x - a)Q(x) + R
Putting. x = a we obtain
P(a) = (a - a)Q(a) + R
= 0 X Q(a) + R
=R
Thus P(a) = R which proves the theorem.
Example:
Find the remainder when 2x 3 + 4x 2 + x - 6 is divided by (x + 3).
Solution:
Let P(x) = 2x 3 + 4x 2 + x - 6
The remainder on dividing P(x) by (x + 3) i.e. (x - -3) is given by P(- 3).
P(- 3) = 2 X ( - 3) 3 + 4(- 3) 2 + (- 3) - 6
= -54 + 36 - 3 - 6
= -27.

THE FACTOR THEOREM
The factor theorem follows directly from the remainder theorem. If the remainder is found to be zero
when a given polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - a), then clearly (x - a) is a factor of P(x).
-------------- - ---------------------~
~J_'f<x_:: a)i,af~~)_:_
For any polynomial P(x):
(i) if P(a) = 0 then (x - a) is a factor of P(x)

Example (i) :
Show that (x + 2) is a factor of P(x) = x3 - 7x - 6 and hence express P(x) in factored form.
Solution:
P(x) = x 3 - 7x - 6
The remainder on dividing by (x + 2) is P(- 2).
P(- 2) = - 8 + 14 - 6
=0
.". (x + 2) is a factor of P(x).
By division, we find Dividing P(x) by (x + 2)
P(x) = (x + 2)(x 2 - 2x - 3) x 2 - 2x - 3
= (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 3) x + 2h 3 - 7x- 6

Example (ii):
Find the factors of the polynomialf(x) = x3 + 2x 2 - 5x - 6.
Solution:
Since the set of factors of the constant term 6 is {1, 2, 3, 6}, try f(l),f( -1),/(2),/(- 2),/(3),/(- 3),
f(6),f(- 6) to see if the value is zero in any case.
f(x) = x 3 + 2x 2 - Sx - 6
/(1) = 1 + 2 - 5 - 6 -1= 0
f( -1) = -1 + 2 + 5 - 6 = 0
.". (x + 1) is a factor ofj(x).
The other factor can now be found by division.
Thus f(x) = (x + 1)(x 2 + x- 6) x + 1h 3 + 2x 2 - 5x - 6

226
We know that there is a formula for finding the roots of a quadratic equation but there are no similar
formulae for finding the roots of equations of higher degree.
Sometimes the roots can be found by factorisation but at other times this is not possible. On such
occasions we can find an approximation to a root by using a numerical method.
We will examine two such numerical methods, 'Halving the Interval' and 'Newton's Method of
Approximation'.
HALVING THE INTERVAL

Suppose f(x) is continuous in the interval x = a to y
x = b. If f(a) and f(b) have opposite signs, then there
is a value x = c between a and b for whichf(c) = 0.
That is x = cis a root of the equationf(x) = 0.
We now find a value for f(x) at the mid-point of the
interval a :::;; x :::;; b. X
That isf(a; b).

Iff (a ; b) = 0, then a; bis a root of the equation.
Iff (-a+- b) < 0, then c hes
. between x a+- band x =b.
= -
2 2
Iff (-a+- b) .
> 0, then c hes between x =a and x = 1-a+- -.
b
2 2
This process halves the interval within which the root lies. Repeated applications will give the root
to any desired degree of accuracy.
Example:
Find a root of the equation x 3 +x - 1 = 0 to two decimal places.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x 3 + x - 1
then f(O) = -1 andf(l) = 1.
Hence there is a root of the equation between 0 and 1. Let this root be x = c.
1(
0 1
; ) = f(0·5) = -0·38, therefore c lies between 0·5 and 1.
f ( 0·5 + 1) = /(0·75) = 0·17, therefore c hes

. between 0·5 and 0·75.
2
f ( 0·5 + 0·75) = /(0·63) = - 0·12, therefore c lies between 0·63 and 0·75.
2
f (0·63
\ + 0·75) = /(0·69) = 0·02, therefore c lies between 0·63 and 0·69.
2
(0·63 + 0·69)
f \ = /(0·66) = -0·05, therefore c lies between 0·66 and 0·69.
2
f (0·66
\ + 0·69) = /(0·68) = -0·01, therefore c lies between 0·68 and 0·69.
2
Thus x = 0·68 is a root of the equation to two decimal places.
This method is very tedious even when working with a calculator but lends itself well to programming
for a computer.
227
1. Use the 'halving the interval' method to show that one root of the equation x 3 + 2x - 8 =0
is approximately 1·67.
2. Find an approximate root for the equation x 3 - 4x +2= 0 in the interval 0 < x < 1 to two
decimal places.
3. Show that there is a root of x4 + 8x - 12 = 0 in the interval 1 < x < 2 and find its value
correct to one decimal place.
NEWTON'S METHOD OF APPROXIMATION

Suppose a continuous functionf(x) has a graph as shown Y
and that x = a is close to a root of the equationf(x) = 0.
The tangent toy = f(x) at x = a has the equation
Y - f(a) = f'(a)
x-a
that is y - f(a) = f'(a)(x - a).
This tangent meets the x axis at the point (a 1 , 0) where
f(a)
a 1 =a-f'(a)' x
If the original value of a was close to the desired root, then
the new value a 1 is even closer. Similarly, by repeated
application
j(a1)
a2 = a1 - f'(a )
1
is an even closer approximation. This process can be continued to obtain the desired degree of accuracy.
Example:
Find an approximate root of the equation x 3 +x - 1 = 0.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x 3 + x - 1
then f(O) = -1 andf(l) = 1.
Hence there is a root of the equation between x = 0 and x = 1.
Let a = 0·5 be an approximate solution
/(0·5)
then a 1 = 0·5 - f'(0· 5) is a closer solution
-0·375
a 1 = 0·5- .
75
= 0·71.
Now 2 0 71 f(0· 7 l)
a = · - /'(0·71)
= 0·71 - 0·068
2·512
= 0·68.
Therefore x = 0·68 is an approximate root of the equation x 3 + x - 1 = 0.
N.B. (i) In general Newton's Method requires fewer steps for a given accuracy than the Halving
the Interval Method. Compare the same example in the text which has been worked by
both methods.
(ii) Care must be taken in applying Newton's Method since it may fail if the initial guess for
the root is not close enough.
(iii) We may use both Newton's Method and the Halving the Interval Method even though
the function is not a polynomial. The function must be continuous in the interval being
considered.

PASCAL'S TRIANGLE
The pattern of numbers developed in Question 5 of Exercise 29.1 is called Pascal's Triangle, so named
after Blaise Pascal (1623-62) who was involved in the early study of probability.
There are two rules in creating Pascal's Triangle. The outer coefficients are each unity. The inner
coefficients come from the addition of the two adjacent numbers immediately above. Of course, each
row has one extra number from the row above. Note that as (1 + x) 0 = 1 we could begin the triangle
from 1.
The expanded form of (1 + x)" (where n = 2, 3, 4, etc.) is a polynomial in x with (n + 1) terms.

The highest power of x is x". The coefficients are shown by the appropriate line in Pascal's
Triangle.

Keep your triangle for reference in the next set of exercises.
In the expression (1 + x) 3 any complex expression can be substituted for x.

Hence, if(l + x) 3 = 1 + 3x + 3x 2 + x 3
Then (1 + a 4 ) 3 = 1 + 3(a 4 ) + 3(a 4 ) 2 + (a 4 ) 3

Solution:
0·998 = (1 - 0·002) i.e. (1 - x) where x = 0·002
(0·998) 4 = (1 - 0·002) 4
= 1 + 4(- 0·002) + 6(- 0·002) + 4(- 0·002) + (- 0·002)

= 1 - 0·008 + 6(0·000004) + 4(- 0·000000008) +

= 1 - 0·008 + 0·000024 - 0·000000032 + ...
= 0·992024.
Notice how terms beyond the third do not affect the first six decimal places and hence do not need to
be calculated.

Expanding expressions using Pascal's Triangle is of limited value because it is tedious to write out
the triangle beyond the first few lines. Hence we will develop a more general formula for binomial
expressions.
We know the expansion of (1 + x)" is a polynomial of degree n in the variable x. Let us represent
the coefficient of xk in the expanded form of (1 + x)" by the symbol "Ck. Thus, for example, the
coefficient of x 2 in (1 + x) 7 would be 7 C2 . For generality include "C0 which of course is 1. Then we
write
(1 + x)" = "C0 + "C1 x + "C2 x 2 + "C3 x 3 + · · · + "C,.x"
and in a similar way
(a+ x)" = "C0 a" + "C1 a"- 1 x + "C2 a"- 2 x 2 + · · · + "C,.x"
where the coefficients are the same as for (1 + x)".
235
PROOF OF THE PASCAL TRIANGLE RELATIONS
1. (a+ x)" = "C0 a'' + "C1a"- 1x + "C2a"- 2x 2 + ... + "C,x".
Let a = 1 and x = 0. This becomes
1" = "C0 . 1" + 0 + 0 + · · . + 0
So "C0 = 1.
Now let a= 0 and x = 1. Clearly "C, = 1.
2. Using the formula, we have:

(1 + x)"-1 = 1 + .. -1c1x + .. -1c2x2 + 0 0 -1ckxk +
0 .. 0 -1c,_1x"-1
0 0 ..
Now (1 + x)" = (1 + x)"- . (1 + x)

1
= (1 + x)"- 1 + x(1 + x)"- 1

So (1 + x)" = (1 + "- 1C 1x + "- 2C 2 x 2 + ... "- 1ckxk + ... "- 1c,_ 1x"- 1)
+ x(1 + ,-1c1x + .. -zczxz + ... + ,-1ck-1xk-1 + n-1ckxk +
+ n-1c,-1x"-1)
On the left hand side the coefficient of xk in (1 + x)" is "Ck.
On the right hand side the coefficient of xk is "- 1ck + "- 1ck_ 1.
Two polynomials can only be equal if coefficients of every term are equal.
Hence "Ck = "- 1 Ck_ 1 + n- 1ck
This is the pattern exhibited in Pascal's Triangle from one row to the next (i.e. from row n - 1
to row n).
Any inner coefficient, such as "Ck in the expansion of (1 + x)" is the sum of two adjacent coef-
ficients "- 1Ck_ 1 and "- 1Ck in the expansion of (1 + x)"- 1. That is, "Ck = "- 1ck_ 1 + "- 1ck.
THE FORMULA FOR nck
To prove the formula for "Ck we will use mathematical induction. We must first guess what we think
the formula is and then verify it.
Consider (1 + x) 4 = 4 C0 + 4 C1x + 4 C 2 x 2 + 4 C3 x 3 + 4 C4 x 4 . We know that
(1 + x) 4 = 1 + 4x + 6x 2 + 4x 3 + x 4 .
So C0 and 4 C 4 are each unity as expected. Also 4 C1 = 4, 4 C2 = 6 and 4 C3 = 4. First 4 C1 = 4
4
gives the idea that "C1 may be n. Also 4 C2 = 6 =

4
~ 3 = n(n ~ 1) if n = 4. We guess that "C2
n(n- 1)

4C =

1 2
We guess that "C3 = n(nl- )(n - ) and in general we guess that
X 2 X 3
n(n - 1)(n - 2) x .. · x (n - k + 1)
"Ck = where there are k factors in both numerator and
1x2x3X .. · X k
denominator. Notice that this general formula gives "C, = 1. We include "C0 = 1 as a special fact.
k = 0 obviously cannot be substituted in the formula.
.. "C _ n(n - l)(n - 2) x ... x (n - k + 1)
P roo f th a t the 1ormu1a k - 1

is true for all values of k and n (1 :( k :( n).
236
We will use the method of mathematical induction.
Step I:
Suppose n = 2.
We know that (1 + x) 2 = I + 2x + x 2 •
So 2 C0 = 1, 2 C 1 = 2 and 2 C2 = 1. These agree with the formula fork = 1 or k = 2 (and 2 C0 is
a special case).
So the formula is true for all values of k when n = 2.
Step II:
Let us assume that the formula is true for all coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x)"- 1 . We will
try to prove that the formula will then be true for all coefficients in (1 + x)".
Assuming the formula with (1 + x)"- 1 we have
11-1c _ (n - 1)(n - 2) x . · · x (n - k + 1)

_ (n - 1)(n - 2) x .. · x (n - k)
and II 1 ck =
1 X 2 X · · · X (k)
and we know that
"Ck = "-1ck-1 + n-1ck

_ [(n - 1)(n - 2) x · · · x (n - k + 1)] [k + (n - k)]
- 1x2x3x ... xk
_ [(n - 1)(n- 2) x · · · x (n - k + 1)] [n]
- 1x2x3x ... xk;
_ n(n - 1)(n - 2) x · · · x (n - k + 1)
- 1x2x3x .. ·xk
This expression for "Ck corresponds to the formula so we have proved that if this formula holds in
the case of (1 + x)"- 1 then it holds in the case of (1 + x)".
There is just one minor point to check. In the above proof k could not equal 1 because that would
produce a zero in the denominator of the expansion for "- 1ck_ 1. So we must treat separately the
case when k = 1.
"Ck = n-1ck-1 + "-1ck
So when k = 1 "C1 = "~ 1 C0 + "- 1 C 1
But "- 1 C0 = 1 (special case) and "- 1 C 1 = n - 1 from the assumption that the formula holds in the
case of (1 + x)"- 1 • Hence "C1 = 1 + (n - 1) = n as expected.
The method of mathematical induction is fulfilled.
Step I:
The formula is true for all coefficients for (1 + x) 2 i.e. x = 2.
Step II:
If the formula is true for all coefficients for (1 + x)"- 1 then it is true for all coefficients in (1 + x)".
Thus if it is true when n = 2 it is true for n = 3, 4, etc.
n(n - 1)(n - 2) x · · · x (n - k + 1)
Hence "Ck = --'------'--'--------'-------'-----'-

for all values of k and n (1 ~ k ~ n).

Solution:
In equations like this be careful to realise that it is the (k + 1) 1h term which contains xk. Likewise
be careful to interpret k at the end.
We will compare the (k + 1)1h term 7k+1 with the k 1h term Tk.
1k+1 = 2oCk22o-\3x)k
1k = 2ock_ 12 2o-(k-1>(3x)k-1

The ratio of the coefficients of 7k+ 1 to 7k exceeds 1 when
63- 3k > 2k
i.e. k < 12·6
So, for values of k of 1, 2, 3, ... , 12,
coefficient of 7k+ 1 > coefficient of 7k
But fork = 13 or greater, coefficient 7k+ 1 < coefficient of Jk. The term with the greatest coefficient
is when k = 12 (i.e. T13 )
T13 = 2oC122s312
N.B. (i) Make sure you understand the calculation (and cancelling) of 2°Ck and 2°Ck-l· See Exercise
29.5, Questions 21 and 22.
(ii) Make sure you understand how the coefficients are getting larger until T13 is reached and
then that they reduce.

Example:

(1 + x)211 = 1 + 211Clx + ... + 211CIIxll + ... + x211.
We note that the coefficient of x" is 2 "C,.
(1 + x)" = 1 + "C1 x + "C2x 2 + ... + "Ckxk + ... + x"

= (1 + "C1 x + "C2x + · · · + x")(l + "C1 x + "C2x + · .. + x")
The terms containing x" on the right hand side will arise from
(1 . x" + "C1 x. "C,_ 1 x"- 1 + · · · + "Ckxk. "C,_kxn-k + ... )
But remember that "C1 = "C11 _1 , 11 C2 = "C11 _2 etc.
So coefficient of x 11 on right hand side = ( 11 C0 ) 2 + (11 C1 ) 2 + . . . + (11 C11 ) 2

CHAPTER 30
Many questions in probability can be done by enumerating the sample space. Sometimes a tree
diagram helps as shown in the following example.
Example:
Four cards labelled 1, 2, 3, and 3 (i.e. two the same) are in one hat and three cards labelled A, Band
C are in a second hat.
(a) How many arrangements are possible (including repetitions) if a card is drawn from each hat?
(b) In how many of these do the cards show 3-A?
(c) What is the probability of a 3 and an A?
Solution:
We draw a tree diagram and enumerate the sample space
First Hat Second Hat Sample Space
(a) Altogether 12 arrangements are

1A
possible (not all different).
18
(b) 3-A occurs twice.

Notice that if there were 20 cards in the first hat and 50 in the second it would be tedious to enumerate
the sample space. So we make use of a rule.
If a selection can be made in r different ways and if a second selection can be made ins different
ways, then the two selections can be made in r x s different ways.
We can call this a fundamental counting principle. It could be generalised.
To find the total number of ways of making several choices in succession multiply the number
of ways each choice can be made.
In the example above the answer to part (a) comes from (4 x 3) and the answer to part (b) comes
from (2 x 1) as there are two cards labelled 3 in the first hat and one labelled A in the second.

(b) What is the probability of choosing two cards of the same denomination when making just
one choice of the two cards?
First compare the following two examples.

Example (i) :
The digits 1, 2 and 3 are each written on a card which is then placed in a box. A card is chosen, read
and replaced. A second card is chosen and read. How many possible 2 digit numbers can be chosen?
Solution:
The first digit can be any of 1, 2 or 3. The second digit can be any of 1, 2 or 3. There are 9 possible
numbers, which you can check for yourself.
Example (ii):
The cards numbered 1, 2 and 3 are placed in the box as before. But this time the first card chosen is
not replaced. How many 2 digit numbers can be made?
Solution:
The first digit can still be chosen in 3 ways. But the second digit can only be chosen from the two
cards left. There are 6 possible 2 digit numbers.
N.B. The difference here is that the numbers 11, 22 and 33 are not possible.
Example (iii):
In horse racing, a trifecta is the name given to choosing the first three horses in a race in correct order.
In how many ways can this be done if there are 10 horses in the race? What is the probability that
a given choice will be correct, assuming all choices are equally likely?
Solution:
Any of the 10 horses in the race can come first. Then any of the remaining 9 horses can come second
and any of the remaining 8 horses can come third.
No. of trifectas (permutations) = 10 x 9 x 8

this question may be disregarded. In how many ways can the first three places be filled from the
other horses? If these horses are all about equally likely to gain places, what approximately are
the chances of picking the trifecta?
If we arrange 4 objects in order the number of permutations is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1. For convenience

we have a notation for this. It is calledfactorial4 and written 4! Thus factorial6 is
6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 or 720 and 3! means 3 x 2 x 1 which is 6. Note that 0! is defined to be 1.
The number of permutations of n objects r at a time is written "Pr

is all that matters?
Solution:
The first person can sit anywhere. The second person can sit in any of the remaining 5 places. The

247
Also, what is the probability that in a random arrangement of the 8 books the conditions (a) and
(b) will be satisfied?
Solution:
(a) Fix the given book in the first position. This leaves 7 books for 7 positions.
No. of permutations = 7!
(b) Consider the two books tied together as if one book. Then there are 7 books which can be arranged
in 7! ways. But of the two books tied together either could come first.
Total permutations = 7! x 2.
For calculating probability note that a random arrangement of the 8 books could be done in 8! ways.

Solution:
Any 4 digit number will exceed 500 and so will 3 digit numbers beginning with 6 or 9.
Permutations with 4 digit numbers = 4 P4 = 24.
For 3 digit numbers.
The first digit may be 6 or 9 (i.e. 2 ways)
Any of the 3 digits left may be second (i.e. 3 ways)
Any of the two remaining digits may be last (i.e. 2 ways)
Permutations of 3 digit numbers = 2 x 3 x 2 = 12
Total permutations = 24 + 12 = 36.

on the shelf. In how many ways can the history books be arranged? What about the geography
books? How many total arrangements are there?

the books of each subject come together?

used more than once in any number? (N.B. 1, 2, 3 or 4 digit numbers are allowed.)
19. How many numbers divisible by 5 can be made with the digits 2, 3, 4 or 5 if each digit is not
used more tha'n once?
Example (i):
In how many ways can the letters of the word
(a) HEAR (b) HERE be arranged?
Solution:
(a) There are 4 letters, all different.
Number of permutations = 4 P4 = 4! = 24
(b) If all the permutations of the word hear were written out there would be pairs of arrangements
such as eahr and aehr. In such a pair if the a was changed to a second e the two permutations
would appear the same. It is not difficult to see that having two letters e which are the same simply
halves the number of permutations. Write them out in pairs and check if you wish.
4P 41
Permutations of here = - 4 = _:_ = 12
2! 2!
Notice that although it was said the permutations were halved we have divided by 2! (which is 2).
The point at issue is that the two letters can be arranged among themselves in 2! ways.
Example (ii):
How many arrangements are possible with letters of the word EERIE?
Solution:
Sp 51
Permutations = 3f = j = 20

N.B. If the letters e were written as el> e 2 and e 3 there would be 5! permutations. But these 3letters
can be arranged in 3! ways so the number of distinctly different arrangements is reduced.
For the following example remember that in a rowing eight (no cox) four rowers are on the stroke
side and four are on the bow side.

Example (iii):
(a) In how many ways can eight boys sit in an eight-oared boat if 3 of the crew can only row on the
stroke side and one particular boy must be on the bow side?
(b) In how many ways can 8 boys sit in this boat without restriction and hence what is the probability
that if the boys sat at random the conditions of part (a) would be met?
Solution:
(a) Firstly, seat the 3 boys who must be qn the stroke side. There are 4 available places.
Number of arrangements = 4 P3 = 24 ways.
Secondly, seat the one boy on the bow side. There are 4 available places.
Number of arrangements = 4 P 1 = 4 ways.
Now seat the remaining 4 boys in the remaining 4 seats. There are no restrictions.
Number of arrangements = 4 P4 = 24 ways.
As any arrangement can exist with any other.
Total permutations = 24 x 4 x 24
= 2304.
(b) Permutations without restriction = 8!

Sometimes we are faced with the task merely of making a selection from given objects and not with
the question of how the selected group is arranged. For example, we may be choosing a pair to play
tennis without any concern as to who will play on the forehand court. In horse racing, the quinella
refers to choosing the first two horses without regard to order, unlike the trifecta where order is
important. To win games of chance like Lotto it does not matter in which order the numbers arise
but only that the correct group has been selected. In all these cases we talk about a combination.
When order is important a selection is called a permutation

when order is not important a selection is called a combination.
Study the example.

Example:
How many pairs of tennis players can be chosen from 4 available players?
Solution:
Label the players A, B, C and D.
If we were seeking permutations the answer would be 4 P2 , or 12. Let us list them:
AB, AC, AD, BA, BC, BD, CA, CB, CD, DA, DB,· DC.
If it was important who played on the forehand court then AB and BA are different arrangements.
But AB and BA are the same combination. So are AC and CA. In fact, the permutations come in
pairs because for each combination (group) there are two arrangements (permutations).
In this case there are just half as many combinations as permutations.

The notation used for the number of combinations of n things taken rat a time is "Cr. An alternative
notation sometimes used is (~).
Example (i):
Seven people are available to play tennis. A group of 4 is to be chosen to play. In how many ways
can this be done?
Solution:
Number of ways= 7 C4

7 X 6 X 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X

Either way there are less combinations than permutations as the 4 players could have been arranged
among themselves in 4! ways.
Example (ii):
In how many ways can a committee of 3 men and 2 women be chosen from 6 men and 5 women?
Solution:
The 3 men can be chosen from 6 men in 6 C3 ways. The 2 women can be chosen from 5 women in 5 C2
ways. Each choice of the group of men can be matched with any of the choices of women.

Many games of chance are based on combinations. For example, in the NSW Lotto six numbers
have to be chosen from the 40 available numbers. There are 4 °C6 selections of 6 from 40 and this
gives almost 4 million possible selections. If you know the number of games a person has purchased
(usually in batches of four) then you can calculate the probability for them winning, as all selections
are equally likely.
The theory of combinations also occurs in card games and horse racing. In poker, one can calculate
the probability of being dealt, say, four aces in a hand of five cards by considering the number of
combinations possible. In horse racing the quinella consists of choosing the first two horses in a
race as a group and in either order. Notice that il1 Lotto and card games the selections are equally
likely. However, in horse racing the events are not equally likely and one needs to be cautious in
speaking of probabilities. ·
The questions below expand on these matters. They are not included to teach gambling but merely
to illustrate the mathematics of chance. Actually knowing the mathematics might discourage one
from gambling.
1. If all horses are equal in ability what is the probability of winning the quinella prize in (a) an
8 horse race? (b) a 15 horse race?
2. A punter believes that only 5 horses in a 14 horse race really have any chance of winning or coming
second. How many possible quinella pairings of these horses are there? How many bets must
be made to cover all these ways?
N.B. Whilst this increases the chance of winning, the money won may be less than the amount
expended.
3. In a simple game of Lotto 4 numbers have to be chosen from 10 numbers in a barrel. Show that
the number of combinations is 1 °C4 and evaluate it.
4. Four numbers have to be chosen from 20 numbers. What is the probability that one given entry
will be the correct one?

6. If a person submits 4 selections for NSW Lotto what is the probability that he will have the
correct solution?
7. If a million people submit 4 entries each to NSW Lotto (see Question 5) about how many correct
solutions would you expect from these entries?
8. In a game of poker the players are dealt a hand of 5 cards. How many such hands are there from
a 52 card pack?
9. In poker, a royal flush contains the ace, king, queen, jack and 10 of one suit. How many royal
flushes are there? By comparing this with the number of possible hands calculate the probability
of being dealt a royal flush in a 5 card hand.
10. If a person played 10 games of poker every week for 50 years show that there is still a low proba-
bility to ever be dealt a royal flush.
11. A straight flush in poker is 5 consecutive cards of the same suit. Excluding royal flushes, how
many are there? What is the probability of being dealt one?
12. In how many ways can you be dealt 4 aces and one other card in a hand of 5 cards? What is the
probability of this occurring. (See Question 8.)
253
13. In how many ways can you be dealt 3 aces (from the available 4) and 2 other cards (from the
available 48 non-ace cards)?
14. In how many ways can you be dealt 3 kings and 2 other cards in a 5 card hand? In how many
ways can you be dealt any three the same (i.e. 3 aces or 3 kings etc.) with 2 other cards? Comparing
this answer with the total number of ways that a 5 card hand can be selected state the probability
of being dealt 3 the same.
N.B. Your answer includes the so-called 3 of a kind, where the other 2 cards are not alike, and
the so-called full house, where the other 2 cards match.
15. In the Australian Soccer Pools 6 numbers must be chosen from 36. In how many ways can this
be done?
16. What is the probability that one given entry will win the pools, assuming that all numbers were
equally likely?
17. A person buys 200 tickets in the pools. What is the chance of success, assuming all numbers
are equally likely?
18. NSW Lotto tickets cost 25 cents each or $1·00 for four. How many tickets can be purchased
for $20 and what is the probability of winning? Neglect agent's fees and use the results of earlier
questions.
19. Whilst one way to increase chances of winning Lotto or Pools is simply to buy more tickets
another way is to make a so-called systems entry. In a System 7 entry a person crosses off 7 num-
bers rather than 6. Show that this is equivalent to buying 7 games.
20. How many groups of 6 can be selected from 8 numbers? If in Lotto or Pools a person has a
System 8 ticket which allows 8 numbers to be crossed off how many choices of 6 numbers is
this equivalent to? By what factor are the chances of winning increased?
21. A normal ticket in the Pools costs 50 cents. A System 9 ticket costs $42·00. By finding out how
many choices of 6 this gives, state if the price appears correctly judged.
22. NSW Lotto advertises that a System 10 ticket is equivalent to 210 games. Is this so? What is the
probability of winning Lotto with such a ticket? (use results of Questions 5 and 6).
Example (i) :
In choosing 3 letters from the word HEATING (and assuming all choices are equally likely) what
is the probability of choosing
(a) 1 vowel (b) 2 vowels (c) at least 2 vowels.
Solution:
(a) If the chosen group has one vowel then it also has two consonants.
The vowels can be chosen in 3 C1 i.e. 3 ways
The consonants can be chosen in 4 C2 i.e. 6 ways.
The total choice can be made in 18 ways.
However, any 3 letters can be chosen from ?letters in 7C3 i.e. 35 ways.
p b bTt f selections with one vowel
ro a 1 1 y 0 one vowe 1 = total selections
18
35'
(b) The 2 vowels can be chosen in 3 C2 i.e. 3 ways. The remaining consonant can be chosen in 4 ways.
Thus 2 vowel words can be chosen in 12 ways.
Probability of two vowels = ~~.
254
(c) If there are to be at least 2 vowels then there may be 2 vowels or 3 vowels.
A 3 vowel word can be chosen in just one way.
As seen in (b) a 2 vowel word can be chosen in 12 ways.
Hence probability of at least 2 vowels = ~~.
N.B. A word with no vowels can be chosen from the 4 consonants in 4 C3 or 4 ways. The probability
for a word with no vowels is
3~. Notice how the probabilities of words with 3 vowels, 2 vowels,
1 vowel and no vowels all add to unity because this exhausts all possibilities. Also notice how
the answer to part (c) could have been obtained by subtracting the probabilities of words of
1 vowel or no vowels from unity.
Example (ii):
A committee of 4 women and 2 men has to be selected from 7 women and 5 men. It is known that
Miss Smith will not serve with Mr Brown, both of whom are available. What is the probability that:
(a) Miss Smith and Mr Brown will both be selected?
(b) One only will be selected ?
(c) Neither will be selected?
(d) Miss Smith and Mr Brown do not have to serve together?
Solution:
Total number of possible committees = 7 C4 x sc2
= 35 X 10
= 350.
(a) If Miss Smith and Mr Brown are selected then that settles two places. We need to select 3 more
women from 6 women and one more man from 4 men.
No. of combinations = 6 C3 x 4 C1
= 20 X 4
= 80
Probability = 38s00 = 38s.
(c) Treating part (c) first we notice that if neither is included it means choosing 4 women from 6 left
and 2 men from 4.
No. of Combinations = 6 C4 x 4 C2
= 15 X 6
= 90
Probability = is00 = is.
(b) This is a complementary event to (a) and (c).
Probability = 1 - 38s - is
= ~~-
Of course, this part could have been done the longer way by finding committees with Miss Smith and
without Mr Brown and with Mr Brown and without Miss Smith and then adding.
(d) If Mr Brown and Miss Smith do not serve together then neither serves or one only serves. By
adding the results of parts (b) and (c) we have
P ro b a b1"l"1ty = 18 + 9

Alternatively, if Miss Smith and Mr Brown do not serve together the probability is given by

The binomial theorem has a strong link with the theory of combinations and with probability.
Firstly, we draw attention to the fact that the coefficient of xk in the expansion of (a + xl was
earlier denoted as 11 Ck. In fact, it has the same formula as the number of ways of choosing n things
kat a time.
We do not wish to digress to prove this statement here and readers may follow it up. Suffice to
say that (a + x) 11 is really the multiplication of n factors each of which is (a + x). In forming terms
of the expansion either an a or an x will be taken from each parenthesis. In the case of the term con-
taining xk it will also contain a11 -k because if x has been chosen from k factors then a will be chosen
from the remaining (n - k) factors. And this choice can be done in 11Ck ways as the xis being taken
from k factors out of a total of n factors. That is, there are altogether n letters x and they are being
taken k at a time.

There are many occasions where just two possible outcomes exist from an experiment or event. For
example, in tossing a coin there may be a head or a tail. In drawing a card from a pack or in throwing
a die one may achieve the desired objective (e.g. an ace, a 6) or one may fail. When manufacturing
objects they may meet specifications or they may be defective. In this section we look at probabilities
that arise in repeated events of this kind.
Study the examples below.
Example (i):
A die is thrown. What is the probability of achieving a 6 and of failing to do so? What is the proba-
bility of getting 0 sixes, 1 six, or 2 sixes from two independent throws.
Solution:

Probability of success = p = ~

Probability of failure= q = 1 - p = ~· success

From the tree diagram q fail pq
Prob (6, 6) = p 2 = l 6
Prob (one 6) = 2pq = j~ success qp
Prob (no 6) = q 2 = (t) 2 = U.

fail
Notice that the final probabilities of p 2 ,
2pq, and q 2 are the terms in the binomial q tail
expansion of (p + q) 2 •
Example (ii):
For a given factory, 99% of items manufactured meet specifications and 1% are defective. Draw a
tree diagram showing the probabilities which exist if 3 items are chosen at random. Calculate the
probability that all items will be good or that 1, 2, or all 3 will be defective.
Solution:
Here p = 0·99 and q = 0·01.
Let G stand for good and D stand for defective.

From the tree diagram we notice

P (all items good) = p 3 = (0·99) 3
P (1 item defective) = 3p 2 q = 3 x (0·99) 2 x-(0·01)
P (2 items defective) = 3pq 2 = 3 x (0·99) x (0·01) 2
P (all items defective) = q3 = (0·01) 3 .
Notice that the termsp 3 , 3p 2 q, 3pq 2 and q3 arise from the binomial expansion of(p + q) 3 .
Example (iii):
Copy the tree diagram above and add a fourth column. What are the respective probabilities for 4
successes, 3 successes, etc., in 4 independent trials where the probability of success of each event is
p and of failure is q.
Solution:
Probabilities respectively are p 4 , 4p 3 q, 6p 2 q 2 , 4pq 3 and q 4 . Notice the link to (p + q) 4 .
If there exists a series of repeated independent events where the probability of success is p and
of failure is q then the probability of various successes in n trials is given by the terms in the
expansion of (p + q)".
Such events are called Bernouilli trials (after a famous mathematician) and form what is called
a binomial distribution.
In symbols
P (x = r) = "C,p'q"-r where P (x = r) means the probability that there will be r successes in
then events.

Assume that all functions defined in this appendix are continuous over the same interval. Thus they
are differentiable and integrable.
Let u be a function of x (---> u = g(x)
Let y be a function of u (---> y = F(u)
= F[g(x)].
The composite function rule for differentiation states that
dy dy du
- == - · -
dx du dx
= F'(u) . g'(x). (a)
Now, if y = F(u) is a primitive of some function f(u),
then y = F(u) = f f(u)du }
([3)
and F'(u) = f(u).
Now from (er:) 1
= f(u) . g'(x)
x = f[g(x)] . g'(x)
.'. y is a primitive off[g(x)] . g'(x)
i.e. y = Jf[g(x)]. g'(x)dx
.·. from ([3) f f[g(x)] . g'(x)dx = Jf(u)du

where u = g(x) and du = g'(x)dx
du
= dxdx.
Thus, the integral has been transformed by the substitution
u = g(x) and du = g'(x)dx
du
=-·dx
dx
With a suitable function 'g' a simpler integral should result.
Proof: Let y = f(x)

1. (a) What is the value of 2x if x = -3 and if x = -4?

Take the point P(O, 1) and let Q be a point '

QR = fly. Q, being on the curve y = aX, must

Since Q is (L1x, a"x) then QM = a"x

A number of important results follow:

The gradient of y = 2x at (0, 1) is approx 0·69.

y = ex is called the exponential function.

Calculators and books of tables have values of this function.
