WEEK 1
TOPIC: SOLUTION TO QUADRATIC EQUATION
FINDING QUADRATIC EQUATION GIVEN SUM AND PRODUCT OF ROOTS CONDITION FOR EQUAL ROOTS, REAL ROOTS AND NO ROOT

We recall that if ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, a and c are constants such that a ≠ 0, then,
x =-b+b2-4ac2a or x = -b-b2-4ac2a

Suppose we represent these distinct roots by α and β; thus:
α = -b+b2-4ac2a
and
β-b-b2-4ac2a

We may also put D = b2 – 4ac, so that
α= -b+D2a
β = -b-D2a

Sum of roots
α + β = (-b+D)2a+ (-b-D)2a
= -22b

= -ba
Products of roots
αβ = (-b+D) (-b-D)2a X 2a
˸αβ = b2 – D
4a2
= b2 – (b2 – 4ac)
4a2
= 4ac
4a2
= ca
Hence, if ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants andα≠ 0 then α + β= -ba,
αβ = ca , we recall from 5.3 that by the method of factorization if
x2 + x– 42 = 0
then (x – 6) (x – 7) = 0

Hence the roots of the equation are 6 and -7. In general, if a quadratic equation factorizes into
(x – α) (x – β) = 0
then α and β must be the roots of that equation.

The general quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 can also be written as:
x2 + bxa + ca = 0 …(1)

If the roots of the equation are α and β then the above equation can be written as:
(x –α) (x – β) = 0
x2 – (α – β) x + αβ = 0 —(2
By comparing coefficients in equations (1) and (2)
-(α + β) = ba
: α + β = -ba
andαβ = cd
The above consideration gives rise to two problems:
(a) Given a quadratic equation, we can find the sum and product of the roots.
(b) Given the roots, we can formulate the corresponding quadratic equation.
The quadratic equation whose roots are α and β is
x2 – (α + β) x + α β = 0

Find the sum and product of the roots of each of the following quadratic equations:
(a) 2×2 + 3x – 1 = 0
(b) 3×2 – 5x – 2 = 0
(c) x2 – 4x – 3 = 0
(d) ½ x2 – 3x – 1 = 0

Solution
(a) 2×2 + 3x – 1 = 0
a = 2; b = 3; c = -1
Let α and β be the roots of the equation, then
α + β= -ba= -32
α β = ca= -12
(b) 3×2 – 5x – 2 = 0
a = 3; b = -5; c = -2
Let α and β be the root of the equation, then
α + β = -ba= 53
α β = ca= -23
(c) x2 – 4x – 3 = 0
a = 1; b = 4; c = -3
Let α and β be the root of the equation, then
α + β = -ba= 41
α β = ca= -3
(d) ½ x2 – 3x – 1 = 0
a = ½, b = -3, c = -1
Let α and β be the root of the equation, then
α + β = -ba= (3)12=6
α β = ca= -112 = -2

Find the quadratic equation whose roots are:
(a) 3 and -2 (b) ½ and 5
(c) -1 and 8 (d)¾ and ½

Solution
The quadratic equation whose roots are α and β is x2 – (α + β) x +α β = 0.
(a) α + β = 3 – 2 = 1, α β = 3 (-2) = -6
: The quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and -2 is x2 – x – 6 = 0.

(b) α β = 12+ 5 = 112 , α β = 52
:The quadratic equation whose roots are 12 and 5 is
x2– 112 x + 52= 0
or 2×2 – 11x + 5 = 0

(c) α+ β = 7, α β = -8
:α β = 7,α β = -8
:The quadratic equation whose roots are -1 and 8 is x2 – 7x – 8 = 0.

(b) α+ β =34+ 12= 54 , α β = 34 x 12= 38
:The quadratic equation whose roots are ¾ and ½ is
x2– 54 x + 38= 0
or 8×2 – 10x + 3 = 0

Symmetric Properties of Roots
of ax2 + bx + c = 0, then
α + β = -ba; α β = ca
Certain relations involving α and β can also be determined from α + β and α β even when we do not knowα and β distinctively. Such relations are usually said to be symmetric.
They are symmetric in the sense that if α and β are interchanged, either the relation remains the same or is multiplied by -1.
If α≠ β, determine whether or not each of the following is symmetric:
(a) α + β (b) αβ
(c) α2 β2 (d) α2– β2
(e) 3α +2β (f) α2 β2

Solution
(a) α+ β =β + α
: α + β is symmetric

(b)αβ = βα
: αβ is symmetric

(c) α2 β2= α2 β2
: α2 β2 is symmetric

(d) α2 – β2= -(α2 – β2)
: α2 – β2is symmetric

(e) 3α + 2β≠ 3β + 2αsince α ≠ β
:3α + 2β is not symmetric
(f) α2+ β2 = β2+α2
:α2 + β2is symmetric
If α and β are the roots of 3×2 – 4x – 1 = 0, find the value of:
(a) α+ β (b) αβ
(c) α2 β2 (d) 1+ 1
(e)+ (f) α3β3
(g) α–β (h)1+1 + 1+1

Solution
a = 3; b = -4; c = -1
(a) α + β = – ba = 43

(b) αβ = ca= – 13
(c) α2 β2 = (α + β)2 – 2αβ
= 169+ 23 = 229
(d) 1+ 1=+αβ= 43= -4

(f) α3β3 = (α+β) (α2+β2 – αβ)

= 34169+1

= 10027

(g) We know that
(α – β)2 = α2+β2 – 2αβ
= (αβ)2 – 4αβ
(α-β) = (αβ)2 – 4αβ

The Graph of y = ax2 + bx + c (a ≠ 0) is called a parabola and has two shapes depending on whether a > 0 or a < 0.
Q
(a) a> 0 (b)
a< 0
P

When a > 0, the lowest point on the graph is called the minimum point, and it occurs when
x = -b2a . Similarly, when a<0
the highest point Q on the graoh is called the maximum pointand it occurs
when x= -b2a
Also, the line when x = -b2a is a line of symmetry.

a> 0
(a) x (b) a < 0
x

x = -b2a x = -b2a

Nature of Roots
We recall that the solution of
ax2 + bc + c = 0
is x = -b D2a, where D = b2 – 4ac
Three restrictions can be placed on the value of D.
(a) D > 0
(b) D < 0

(c) D = 0
When D > 0

The roots of the equation are real and distinct. The graph of y = ax2 + bx + c crosses the x – axis at two points.
(a) a> 0 (b) a < 0
D > 0 D > 0

x = α1 x = β1 x = α2 x = β2
If in addition D is a perfect square, the roots are rational, but if D is not a perfect square, the roots are irrational and are always in conjugate pairs.
When D < 0
The roots are not real. They are said to be imaginary as D is not a real number. The graph of
y = ax2 + bx + c does not cross the x – axis in this case.
(a) a> 0 a – axis
D < 0 (b) a < 0
D < 0
x – axis
When D = 0
The roots are real and equal. They are said to be coincidental. The graph touches the x – axis at
x = -b2a

x = -b2a
(a) a> 0 a < 0
D < 0 D = 0

x = -b2a

Since D enables us to determine the position of the graph of y = ax2 + bx + c relative to the x – axis, it is called a discriminant.
Determine the nature of roots of the following quadratic equations:
(i) x2 – 3x – 2 = 0
(ii) x2 – 6x + 9 = 0
(iii) 2×2 – 2x + 5 = 0

Solution
(i) a = 1; b = -3; c = -2
D = b2 – 4ac
= 9 + 8
= 17<0
Hence the roots of the equation are real and distinct.

(ii) x2 – 2x + 9 = 0
a = 1; b = -6; c = 9
D = b2 – 4ac
= 36 – 36
= 0
Hence the roots are real and equal.

(iii) 2×2 – 2x + 5 = 0
a = 2; b = -2; c = 5
D = b2 – 4ac
= 4 – 40
= -36
Hence the roots are imaginary.

WEEK 2
TOPIC: Tangents and Normal to Curves
For any curve, dydx is the gradient function. At any point on the curve, dydxat that point, gives the gradient of the tangent at the point. The derivation of y with respect to x at x = x1 is denoted.
dydx x = x1
Recall that the equation of the line of gradient m through (x1, y1) is y – y1 = m(x – x1).
From this equation, we can easily obtain the equation of the tangent.
The straight line, perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact of the tangent to the curve is called the Normal to the curve.
If m1 is the gradient of the Normal, and m is the gradient of the tangent at the point of contact of the tangent to the curve, then
m1 = -1m
So at the point (x1, y1) the equation of the normal is y – y1 =-1m (x – x1)
Find the equation of the tangent and the normal to the curve y = 2×3 – x2 + 3x + 1 at the point x = 1.

Solution
Given that y = 2×3 – x2 + 3x + 1
dydx=6×2 – 2x + 3
dydx x = x1= 6 – 2 + 3 = 7
If m is the gradient of the tangent at x = 1, then m = 7.
At the point x = 1; y = 2 – 1 + 3 + 1 = 5.
The equation of the tangent at the point x = 1 is
y – 5 = 1(x – 1)
y – 5 7x– 2
If m1 is the gradient of the normal at x = 1, then
m1 = -1m= -17
Hence, the equation of the normal at x = 1, is y – 5 = 17 (x – 1)
7(y – 5) = -1 (x – 1)
7y – 35 = -x + 1
7y + x – 36 = 0

Find the equation of the tangent to the curve x2y + y2x + 3x – 13 = 0 at the point (1, 2)

Solution
x2y + y2x + 3x – 13 = 0
x2dydx+ 2xy + 3y2xdydx+ y2 + 3 = 0
(x2 + 3y2x)dydx + 2xy + y3 + 3 = 0
(x2 + 3y2x)dydx = -2xy – y3 – 3
dydx= -2xy – y3 -3
x2 + 3y2x
If m is the gradient of the tangent at the point (1, 2) then
m = dydxx = 1, y = 2
= -4-8-31+12= -1513
The equation of the tangent is therefore
y – 2 =-1513 (x – 1)
13 (y – 2) = -15 (x – 1)
13y – 26 = -15x + 15
13y + 15x – 41 = 0

WEEK 3
TOPIC: Polynomials
Consider the expressions formed from the sum of integral non negative powers of a variable x taken together with some numerical constants. Such expressions are called Polynomials.
The general polynomial takes the form anXn + an1Xn1 + … a2X2 + a1X + a0 where a11 an-1…a0(a0 ≠0) are numerical constants.
The numerical constants an’ an1…. a2, a1 are called coefficients of Xn, Xn1, … X2, X respectively while a0 is called the constant term of the polynomial.
The highest power of the variable is n and is called the degree of the polynomial. Let us designate the general polynomial by p(x). Thus:
P(x) =anXn + an-1 Xn-1 + … + a2X2 + a1X + a0.
The following are examples of polynomials:
(a) P1(x) = 3×2 – 2x + 4
(b) P2(x) = 3×4 – 2×2 + x – 1
(c) P3(x) = x + 1
(d) P1(x) = 2×3 + x – 3
The following are not polynomials:
(a) f1(x) = (x2 + 2x – 3)
(b) f1(x) = 3×2 – 4×2 + 2x – 1
2x + 3
(c) f1(x) = (2x – 3)1

Equality of Polynomials
The polynomial p(x) = a11X11 + an-1 Xn-1 + … + a2X2 + a1X + a0 is said to be equal to the polynomial.
Q(x) =bnXn + bn-1X-n1 + … b2X2 + b1 X + b0 provided
an = bn’ an 1 = bn 1 … a2 = b2’ a1 = b1, a0 = b0

Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials
Let P(x) = anXn + an-1 Xn-1 + … + a2X2 + a1X + a0
Q(x) = bnXn + bn-1X-n1 + … b2X2 + b1 X + b0 then,
P(x) + Q(x) = (an + bn)Xn + (an-1 + bn-1) Xn1 + … + (a2 + b2) X2 + (a1 + b1) X + a0 + b0.
Also,
P(x) – Q(x) = (an-bn) Xn- (an-1- bn-1) Xn1- … + (a2- b2) X2+ (a1- b1) X + a0- b0.
Given that P1(x) = 7×3 – 4×2 + 3x + 4;

= 2(2×3 + 4×2 – x + 1) + (3×4 + x3 – 2×2 + x – 3)
= (4×3 + 8×2 – 2x + 2) + (3×4 + x3 – 2×2 + x – 3)

= -6×3 + 12×2 – 9x + 15
(d) P3(x) + 2P1(x) – 3P2(x)
= (4×3 + 2x – 4) + 2 (2×3 + 4×2 – x + 1) – 3(3×4 + x3 – 2×2 + x – 3)

: P3(x) + 2P1(x) – 3P2(x) = -9×4 + 5×3 + 14×2 – 3x + 7
The value of p(x) at x = a is denoted by p(a) and is obtained by substituting a for x in the polynomial.

Multiplication of polynomials
The product of two polynomials of degrees m and n is another polynomial of degree m + n.

= 2×2(3×2 – 2x + 1) + 5x(3×2 – 2x + 1) + 6(3×2 – 2x + 1)
= 6×4 – 4×3 + 2×2 + 15×3 – 10×2 + 5x + 18×2 – 12x + 6
= 6×4 +(4×3 + 15×3) +(2×2 – 10×2 + 18×2)+ 5x – 12x + 6

Division of Polynomials
A polynomial of degree n can be divided by another polynomial of degree m if n ≥ m.

Divide the polynomial P(x) = 3×2 -2x + 4 by the polynomial P(x) = x + 2
Solution
Since P1 is being divided by P2 it is called the dividend while P2 is called the divisor. The result of division of P1 by P2 is called the quotient and whatever is left after division is called the remainder.
The procedure of division of P1 by P2 can best be demonstrated step by step as follows:
Step 1
Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor to obtain the first term of the quotient.
3x
x + 2 3×2 – 2x + 4

Step 2
Multiply each of the terms of the divisor by the quotient.
3x
x + 2 3×2 – 2x + 4
3×2 + 6x
Step 3
Subtract the product obtained in step 2 from the first two terms of the dividend and add the next term of the dividend.
3x
x + 2 3×2 – 2x + 4
3×2 + 6x
-8x + 4

Step 4
Using -8x + 4 as a new dividend repeat step 1, 2 and 3.
3x – 8(c)
x + 2 3×2 – 2x + 4 (b)
(a) 3×2 + 6x
-8x + 4
-8x – 16
20 (d)
Note that:
(a) x + 2 is the divisor;
(b) 3×2 – 2x + 4 is the dividend;
(c) 3x – 8is the quotient
(d) 20 is the remainder
The expression 3×2 – 2x + 4 can be written as:
3×2 – 2x + 4 = (x + 2) (3x – 8) + 20

Dividend Divisor Quotient Remainder
In general P(x) = D(x) x Q(x) + R
P(x) = Dividend
D(x) = Divisor
Q(x) = Quotient
R = Remainder
Divide 4×3 + 6×2 – 2x + y by 2x – 3 and hence find the quotient and the remainder

Solution
2×2 + 6x + 8
2x – 3 4×3 + 6×2 – 2x + 7
4×3 + 6×2
12×2 – 2x
12×2 – 18x
16x + 7
16x – 24
31
Quotient = 2×2 + 6x + 8
Remainder = 31
Find the quotient and remainder when 2×4 – 3×3 + x2 – 4x + 5 is divided by x2 + 3x + 1
Solution
2×2 – 9x + 26
x2 + 3x + 1 2×4 – 3×3 + x2 – 4x + 5
2×4 – 6×3 + 2×2
-9×3 – x2 – 4x
-9×3 – 27×2 – 9x
26×2 + 5x + 5
26×2 + 78x + 26
-73x – 21
Hence, Quotient = 2×2 – 9x + 26
Remainder = -73x – 21

Find the quotient and remainder when x3 + 8 is divided by x2 – 2x + 4
Solution
x + 2
x2 – 2x + 4 x3 +8
x3 – 2×2 + 4x
2×2 + 4x + 8
2×2 + 4x + 8
0

Quotient = x + 2
Remainder = 0
Hence, x3 – 2×2 + 4x is a factor of x3 + 8.

The Remainder Theorem
The Long Division Method.Although a little cumbersome enables us to find, not only the quotient, but the remainder as well. Suppose we are given the polynomial f(x) = 2×3 – 3×2 + 4x – 1 and we wish to find the remainders when f(x) is divided by:
(a) x – 1
(b) x – 2
(c) x – 3
By using the long division method we have:
2×2 – x + 3
x– 1 2×2 – 3×2+ 4x – 1
2×2 – 2×2
-x2 + 4x
-x2 + x
3x – 1
3x – 3
2
So when f(x) is divided by x – 1, the remainder is 2.
2×2 – x + 6
x – 2 2×3 – 3×2 + 4x – 1
2×3 – 4×2
-x2 + 4x
-x2 + 2x
6x – 1
6x – 12
11

So when f(x) is divided by x – 2, the remainder is 11.

2×2 – 3x + 13
x – 3 2×2 – 3×2 + 4x – 1
2×2 – 6×2
3×2 + 4x
-x2 + 9x
13x – 1
13x – 39
38
So when f(x) is divided by x – 3, the remainder is 38.

Now, find:
a. f(1)
b. f(2)
c. f(3)
d. f(1) = 2 – 3 + 4 – 1 = 2
e. f(2) = 16 – 12 + 8 – 1 = 11
f. f(3) = 54 – 27 + 12 – 1 = 38
Compare the answers in each of the following pairs
i. (a) and (d)
ii. (b) and (e)
iii. (c) and (f)
What do you notice?
This is a remarkable result and it is not a mere coincidence.
Let us try another one.
Given that H(x) = x3 + 2×3 – 4x + 3, find the remainder when H(x) is divided by
(a) x + 1
(b) x + 2
(c) x + 3

x2 + x – 5
(a) x + 1 x3 + 2×3 – 4x + 3
x3 + x2
x2 – 4x
x2 + x
-5x + 3
-5x – 5
8

When H(x) is divided by x + 1, the remainder is 8.
x2 -4
(b) x + 2 x3 + 2×3 – 4x + 3
x3 + 2×2
-4x + 3
-4 – 8
11

So, when H(x) is divided by x + 2, the remainder is 11.
x2 + x – 1
(c) x + 3 x3 + 2×3 – 4x + 3
x3 + 3×2
x2 – 4x
– x2 + 3x
-x + 3
-x – 3
6

When H(x) is divided by x + 3, the remainder is 6. Now, find:
(d) H(-1)
(e) H(-2)
(f) H(-3)
(d) H(-1) = -1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 8
(e) H(-2) = -8 + 8 + 8 + 3 = 11
(f) H(-3) = -27 + 18 + 12 + 3 = 6

Compare again the answers in each of the following pairs:
(i) (a) and (d)
(ii) (b) and (e)
(iii) (c) and (f)
What again do you notice?
(a) When H(x) is divided by x + 1 the remainder is H(-1)
(b) When H(x) is divided by x + 2 the remainder is H(-2)
(c) When H(x) is divided by x + 3 the remainder is H(-3)
So we can safely conclude that if H(x) is divided by x – a the remainder is H(a) and this forms the basis of what is called the remainder theorem.
Theorem
If the polynomial f(x) is divided by x – a, the remainder is f(a).

Proof
The polynomial function f(x) can be written as:
f(x) = (x – a) Q(x) + R …(1)
where x – a is the divisor, Q(x) the quotient and R the remainder.
Put x = a in (1)
f(a) = (a – a) Q(a) + R
f(a) = R
The theorem whose proof we have just established, is called the RemainderTheorem. In general, if f(x) is divided by ax + b then the remainder is
f-ba
A special case of the remainder theorem is when f(x) leaves no remainder when it is divided by x – a. We therefore say that x – a is a factor of f(x). The modified theorem is called, Factor Theorem and it states:
If f(a) = 0 then x – a is a factor of f(x).

Example
Given that f(x) = 3×3 – 4×2 + 2x + 3, find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x – 1.

Solution
Let R be the remainder. Then using the remainder theorem, R = f(1)
f(1) = 3(1)3 – 4(1)2 + 2(1) +3
= 3 – 4 + 2 + 3
= 4

Find the remainder when
f(x) = (x + 3)(x – 2)(x + 2) is divided by x + 1.

Solution
Let R be the remainder when f(x) is divided by (x + 1) then R = f(-1)
f(-1) = (-1 + 3)(-1 -2)(-1 + 2)
= (2)(-3)(+1)
= -6
Hence the remainder is -6
Find the remainder when f(x) = 2×3 + 3×2 – 4x + 1 is divided by 2x – 1. What conclusion can you draw?

Solution
Let R be the remainder when f(x) is divided by 2x – 1 then R = f12
f12 = 2 f123 + 3 f123– 4 f12 + 1
= ¼ + ¾ – 2 + 1
= 0
Hence2x – 1 is a factor of f(x).

Evaluation

Factorization of polynomial
Show that x – 1 is a factor off(x) = 2×3 + 3×2 – 5x – 6

Solution
f(-1) = 2(-1)3 + 3(-1)2 – 5(-1) – 6
= -2 + 3 + 5 – 6
Hence x + 1 is a factor of f(x)

Show that x + 1 is a factor of f(x) = x3 + 2×2 – 5x – 6
Hence factorise f(x) completely.

Solution
f(-1) =(-1)3 + 2(-1)2 – 5(-1) – 6
= -1 + 2 + 5 – 6 = 0
: x+1 is a factor of f(x)
Using Long Division:
x2 + x – 5
(a) x + 1 x3 + 2×2 – 5x – 6
x3 + x2
x2 – 5x
x2 + x
-6x – 6
-6x – 6
0
x2 + x – 6 = x2 + 3×2 – 2x – 6
= x(x + 3) -2 (x + 3)
= (x + 3)(x – 2)
Hence f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 3) (x – 2)

Factiorizef(x) = x3 + 7×2 – 14x – 8 completely.

Solution
In a complete factorised form, f(x) can be written in the form:
f(x) = (x ± p)(x ± r) …(1)
The first term of the expansion of (1) is x3 while the last term of the expansion is ±pqr. Hence, p. q and r must be factors of -8. We can therefore try:
x ± 1
x ± 2
x ± 4
x ± 8
f(-1) = -1 – 7 – 14 – 8 = -30 ≠ 0
: x + r is not a factor of f(x)
f(1) = 1 – 7 + 14 – 8 = 0
: x – 1 is a factor of f(x).
A similar procedure can be used for x ± 2, x ± 4, x ± 8 to find the other two factors. But a less cumbersome procedure is to use long division method once a factor of f(x) is obtained.

x2 – 6x + 8
x – 1 x2 – 7×2 + 14x – 8
x2 –x2
-6×2 + 14x
-6×2+ 6x
8x – 8
8x – 8
0
Now, x2 – 6x + 8 = x2 – 4x – 2x + 8
= (x – 2)(x – 4)
Hence, f(x) = (x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 4)

What must be subtracted from f(x) = x2+2×2-3x +5 so that it will be exactly divisible by x – 2? Hence, find that polynomial H(x) which is exactly divisible by x – 2 and factorise it completely.

Solution
f(x) = x2 + 2×2 – 3x + 5
f(2) = 8 + 8 – 6 + 5
= 15
:When f(x) is divided by x – 2 the remainder is 15. Hence 15 must be subtracted from f(x) to make it exactly divisible by x – 2.
Let the new polynomial which is exactly divisible by x – 2 be H(x), then:
H(x) = f(x) – 15
= x2 + 2×2 – 3x + 5– 15
= x2 + 2×2 – 3x –10

Using long division
x2 + 4x +5
x– 2 x2 + 2×2 – 3x – 10
x2 + 2×2
4×2 – 3x
4×2 – 8x
5x – 10
5x – 10
0
But x2 + 4x + 5 is not factorizable, hence H(x) = (x – 2)(x2 + 4x + 5).
Given that f(x – 1) = x2 + 3x –1, find f(3).

WEEK 5
TOPIC: Cubic equations and their factorization , graphs of cubic equations
Polynomials of degree three have the general form y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d(a ≠ 0). The curve is usually called a cubical parabola.
A cubical parabola has two shapes depending on whether a > 0 or a < 0.

 

a> 0

a< 0

Sketch each of the following curves represented by the following functions:
(a) y = x3 + 2×2 – 5x – 6
(b) y = 12 + 4x – 3×2 – x3

Solution
(a) y = x3 + 2×2 – 5x – 6
Using the factor theorem and long division the expression can be factorized as:
y = (x – 2)(x + 1)(x + 3)
The zeros of the polynomial are therefore x = 2, x = -1 and x = 3, hence the x – intercepts are (2, 0), (-1, 0) and (-3, 0).
The y – intercept is (0, -6).
Next, we shall consider the behaviour of the function at different intervals along the x – axis. This will enable us to see whether the curve is above or below the axis.
Mark the x – intercepts on the x – axis.
x–axis
(-3, 0) (-1, 0) (2, 0)
The intervals we shall consider are:
(a) x< -3
(b) -3 < x < -1
(c) -1 < x < 2
(d) x> 2
We shall examine the signs (+ve or –ve) in each of the intervals.
x = -4 is in the intervals x < -3
f(-4) = -18 < 0
Hence the part of the graph in the interval x < -3 is below the axis.
x = -2 is in the interval -3 < x <-1
f(-2) = 4 > 0
Hence the part of the graph in the interval -3 < x < 2 is above the x – axis x = 0 is in the interval -1 < x < 2
f(0) = -6 < 0.
Hence the part of the graph in the interval -1 < x < 2 is below the x – axis.
x = 3 is in the interval x > 2
f(3) = 24 > 0
Hence the part of the graph in the interval is above the x – axis.
The intercept on the axis coupled with the behaviour of the function at different intervals on the x – axis will enable us to get the shape of the curve.

(b) y = 12 + 4x – 3×2 – x3
Using the factor theorem and long division method
y = (2 – x)(2 + x)(3 + x)
The zeros of the polynomial are x = 2, x = -2 and x = -3, hence the x – intercepts are (2, 0), (-2, 0) and (-3, 0).
The y – intercept is (0, 12).
Mark the x – intercept on the axis.
x – axis
(-3, 0) (-1, 0) (2, 0)
The intervals we shall consider are:
(a) x< -3
(b) -3 < x < -1
(c) -1 < x < 2
(d) x> 2
x = -4 is in the interval x < -3
f(-4) = 12 < 0,
hence the part of the graph within this interval is above the x – axis.
x = -2.5 is in the interval -3 < x < -2
f(-2.5) = 98<0,
hence the part of the graph within this interval -3 < x < -2 is above the axis.
x = 0 is in the interval -2 < x < 2
f(0) = 12 > 0,
hence the part of the graph within this interval -2< x <2 is above the axis.
x = 3 is in the interval x > 2
f(3) = -30< 0,
hence the part of the graph within the interval r > 2 is below the x – axis.

Statements
A statement in a logical context is a declaration, verbal or written that is either true or false but not both.
A true statement is said to have a truth value T, while a false statement is said to have a truth value F.

Example 1
The following are statements:
(a) Nigeria is an African country.
(b) The earth is conical in shape.
(c) If I run I shall not late.
(d) Japanese are hard working people.

Example 2
The following are not statements in the logical context.
(a) Who is he?
(b) What a lovely man!
(c) Take the pencil away.
(d) If I think of my family.
In general, questions, exclamations, commands and expressions of feelings which cannot be assigned a truth value T or F are not statements in the logical context.
By convention, we shall use letter P.q.r,… to denote statements.

Negation
Given a statement P, the negation ofP, written ̴P is the statement; “it is false that P” or “nor P”.
If P is true, ̴P is false and if P is false ̴P is true. In other words, if P has the truth value T then ̴P has the truth value F and if P has the truth value F then ̴P has the truth value T.
The relationship between P and ̴P can be summarizer in the following table.
Table 1
P
̴P
T
F
F
T

Table 1 is called a truth table.

If P is a statement: “Nigeria is a rich country” then ̴P is the statement: “it is false that Nigeria is a rich country” or in a more reasonable English “Nigeria is not a rich country”.

Let q be the statement “some lawyers are honest people” then ̴q is the statement” it is false that some lawyers are honest people”. In a more reasonable English, we can also write ̴q as some lawyers are not honest people.

Let P be the statement 3 + 4 = 8 then ̴P is the statement 3 + 4 ≠ 8.

Let q be the statement X + 1 ≥ 4 then ̴q is the statement X + 1 ≥ 4.

Let P be the statement “The set of numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, … is a set of even numbers” then ̴P is the statement “The set of numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, … is a set of odd numbers.
1. State which of the following are statements in the logical context:
(a) Caesar was a great leader.
(b) Stop talking to the boys.
(c) Decide whether you are going to the club’s meeting now.
(d) Oh Mansa Musa, you are wonderful!
(e) The Broking House in Ibadan, is a magnificent building.

2. State which of the following are statements in the logical context:
(a) As old as Methuselah.
(b) The set of numbers 3, 5 and 4 is not a Pythagorean triplet.
(c) Is he a serious teacher at all?
(d) If 6 is an odd number, then 3 + 5 = 10.

3. Write the negation of each of the following statements:
(a) He is a handsome man.
(b) It is very cold in Siberia.
(c) It is very hot in tropics.
(d) The sky is blue.

4. Write the negation of each of the following statements:
(a) The party leader will win the election.
(b) The football captain scored the first goal.
(c) Short cuts are dangerous.
(d) Honest men are very rare to come by.

5. Statement with reasons whether the statement q is a negation of the statement P in each of the following:
(a) p. The line AB is parallel to the line CD,
q. The line AB is perpendicular to the line CD.
(b) p. He is a good leader.
q. He is a bad leader.
(c) p. She is a good leader.
q. She is a good follower.

(6) Write the negation of each of the following avoiding the word ‘not’ as much as possible.
(a) The car is moving fast.
(b) He was present in school yesterday.
(c)The Equator is a Great circle.
(d) His friend is younger than my brother.
(7) Write the negation of each of the following avoiding the word ‘not’ as much as possible.
(a) He obtained the least mark in the examination.
(b) She is the shortest girl in the class.
(c) He is an ugly man.
(d) The hospital is in a bad state.

Conditional Statement
Let p stand for the statement ‘Lagos is a state in Nigeria’ and q stand for the statement ‘Lagos is a state in Africa’. One way the two statements can be combined is ‘If Lagos is a city in Nigeria then Lagos is a city in Africa or ‘if p and q’.

The statement ‘‘if p and q’ is a combination of two simple statements p and q it is therefore called a compound statement.
Symbolically, we can write the compound statement if p then qas p q.
The statementp q is read as:
p implies q or
If p then q or
q is necessary for p or
p is sufficient for q or
p only if q or
p follows from p or
qifp.
The symbol is an operation. In the compound statementp is called the antecedent while the sub statementq is called the consequent of p q.
The truth or falsity of the implication p q is illustrated in Table 2.
Table 2
p
Q
P q
T

F
F

The statement p q is false if the antecedent is true and the consequent is false. The statement p q is sometimes called a Conditional Statement.
Consider the following statements;
(a) If Cairo is in Africa then 8 is an even number.
(b) If Cairo is in Africa then 8 is an odd number.
(c)If Cairo is in Asia then 8 is an even number.
(d) If Cairo is in Asia then 8 is an odd number.
The statements (a) (c) and (d) are all true but the statement (b) is not true for the simple reason that the antecedent is true while the consequent is false. Note that although in statement (d) both the antecedent and consequent are false, yet the whole statement is true.

Converse Statement
Letp be the statement ‘a triangle is equilateral’ and q the statement ‘a triangle is equiangular’. The statement p implies q.i.ep q. The statement also implies p, i.eq p. In other words, if a triangle is equiangular then it is equilateral. The statement q p is called the converse of the statement
P q.

Inverse Statement
If p is the statement ‘a triangle is equilateral’ and q is the statement ‘a triangle is equiangular’ the statement ̴p ̴q is the statement ‘if a triangle is not equilateral than it is not equiangular.
The statement ̴p ̴qis called the inverse of the statement p q.

Contrapositive Statement
If P is the statement ‘a triangle is equilateral’ and q is the statement ‘a triangle is equiangular’ the statement ̴q ̴p is ‘if a triangle is not equiangular then it is not equilateral’. The statement
q p is called the contrapositive statement of p q.

Biconditional Statement
Let p be the statement ‘the interior angles of a polygon are equal’ and q be the statement ‘a polygon is regular’.
p q is the statement’If the interior angles of a polygon are equal then the polygon is regular’
q p is the statement ‘If a polygon is regular then the interior angles of the polygon are equal’. We see here thatp q and q p.
The two conditional statements are valid. We say that p and q imply ‘each other or p is equivalent to q and we write p q. The statement p q is called a Biconditional Statement of p and q and the
statementsp and q are said to be equivalent to each other.
Other terminologies for p q are:
q is equivalent to p
p is necessary and sufficient for q
qif and only if p
p if and only if q
If pthenq and if q thenp.
The truth of falsity of pq is completely illustrated by Table 3.
Table 3
p

So a biconditional statement is true when the two substatements have the same truth value.
Consider the following four statements:
(a) Nyerere is an African name if and only if a, e, i, o, u are vowels;
(b) Nyerere is an African name if and only if a, e, i, o, u are consonants;
(c) Nyerere is a European name if and only if a, e, i, o, u are vowels;
(d) Nyerere is a European name if and only if a, e, i, o, u are are consonants.
The statements (a) and (d) are both true since the substatements of each have the same truth value. The statements (b) and (c) are false since the substatement of each have different truth values.

The Chain Rule
If p. q andr are three statements such that p q and q r, then p r. This is called the chain ruleand it may have several links.
Consider the argument:
T1: If a student works very hard, he passes his examination.
T2: If a student passes his examination, he is awarded a certificate.
T1: If a student works very hard, he is awarded a certificate.
Let P be the statement ‘a student works very hard.
Let q be the statement ‘a student passes his examination.
Let r be the statement ‘a student is awarded a certificate.
The argument has the following structural form:
p p. q r : p r
This argument follows the chain rule link hence it is said to be valid.
The statement T1 and T2 are called the Premiseswhile the statement T3 is called the Conclusion of the argument.
The argument is valid not on the basis of the truth or falsity of its premises but on the basis of the structural from which follows the chain rule link.

Compound Statement
A statement may consist of two or more simple statements or substatements. Such a statement is called
aCompound or Composite Statement. For example, the compound statement: ‘John is an intelligent and courageous boy’, consists of the substatements: ‘John is an intelligent boy’ and ‘John is a courageous boy’.
By convention, we shall use letters p, q, r,… to denote statements.
We proceed now to introduce logical symbols called Connectives.

Disjunction
Two statements can be combined by the use of the connective ‘or’.
The statement: ‘He is a philosopher’ can be combined with the statement ‘He is a teacher as follow: ‘He is a philosopher or he is a teacher’. In a more refined English, the combined statement is ‘Either he is a philosopher, or he is a teacher’.
If the statement ‘He is a philosopher’ is denoted p and the statement ‘He is a teacher is denoted q, the combined statement is either p or qor simply q or q. In symbolic logic, q or q is designated p v q, where the connective p v q.Where the connective v means ‘or’.
The word ‘or; in English Language is used in two different sense.
In the statement, ‘the professor will deliver the lecture at Bayero University or remain at the hotel’. The ‘or’ is used in an exclusive sense, in that it is not possible for the professor to deliver lecture at Bayero University, and at the same time remain at the hotel. The ‘or’ is said to be used in the exclusive sense.
In the statement, ‘He is a good politician or a good statement’, the or is used in the inclusive sense, in that it is possible for the good politician to be a good statesman as well. We shall clear this apparent ambiguity, it we settle for one meaning.

In this teat, we use ‘or’ in the inclusive sense. The statement p v q can be read; either p or q or both or simply p v q or both. The truth table for p v q is illustrated in Table 4
Table 4
p
q
P v q
T
T
F

The statement p v q is false when both p and q are false, otherwise p v q is true.
Consider the following statements:
(a) Cairo is in Africa or 8 is an even number.
(b) Cairo is in Africa or 8 is an odd number.
(c) Cairo is in Asia or 8 is an even number.
(d) Cairo is in Asia or 8 is an odd number.
The statements (a) (b) and (c) are all true since at least one of the substatements is true. The statement (d) is false since the two substatements are false.

Conjunction
Another way by which two statements can be combined with the statement ‘she is proud’ using the connective ‘and’ as ‘she is pretty and she is proud’. In a more refined English, the combined statement is: ‘she is pretty and proud’.
If the statement ‘she is pretty’ is denoted p and the statement ‘she is proud’ is denoted q, the statement ‘she is pretty and proud’ can be written as p and q. In symbolic logic, p and q is designated p ᴧq, where
the connective ᴧ means ‘and’.
The truth table for p ᴧ q is illustrated in Table 5

Table 5

The statementp ᴧ q is true when the sub statements p and q are both true, otherwise p ᴧ q is false.
Consider the following statements:
(a) Cairo is in Africa and 8 is an even number.
(b) Cairo is in Africa and 8 is an odd number.
(c) Cairo is in Asia and 8 is an even number.
(d) Cairo is in Asia and 8 is an odd number.
The statements (a) (b) and (c) are all true since at least one of the substatements is true. The statement (d) is false since the two substatements are false
Of the four given statements, only (a) is true. The statements (b), (c) and (d) are since at least one if their substatement is false.

Equivalent Statements
Two compound statements are said to be logically equivalent if they have the same truth value.

Table last two columns of Table 13a and Table 13b are identical, hence p v (q v r) = (p v q) v r

Tautology and Contradiction
A compound statement which is always true irrespective of the truth values of the substatements, is called a Tautology. A tautology is represented as T.
A compound statement which is always false, irrespective of the truth values of the substatements is called a Contradiction. A contradiction is usually represented as F.

Laws of the Algebra of Logical Statements
There is a close relationship between the algebra of sets and algebra of logical statements. The logical connectives as operations obey the laws of algebra.

WEEK 8
TOPIC: Trigonometric functions
The basic trigonometric ratios can be defined in two ways:
(i)traditional definition;
(ii) modern definition.

Traditional Definition
The basic trigonometric ratios can be defined in terms of the sides of a right – angled triangle.
Q

r p

P ѳ
q R

Fig. 14.3
∆PQR in Fig 14.3 in a right angled triangle with QPR = ѳ and PRQ = 90◦. We define the three basic rations as follows:
Cosine of angle ѳ = PRPQ = qr
Sine of angle ѳ = QRPQ= pr
Tangent of ѳ = QRPR= pq
The cosine of angle ѳ, sine of angle ѳ and the tangent of angle ѳ will be abbreviated cosѳ, sinѳ and tanѳ respectively.
Thus:
Cosѳ =qr
Sinѳ = pr
Tanѳ – pq
Also:
SinθCos = p/rq/r= pq= tanθ
tanѳ = sinθcosθ

From Fig. 14.8(a)
Sinѳ2 = y

From Fig. 14.8(b)
Ѳ1 + ѳ2 = 180◦
Ѳ2 = 180◦ – ѳ1
: Sinѳ2 = sin(180◦ – ѳ1) = y = sinѳ1
: Sin(180◦ – ѳ) = sinѳ
: Cosѳ2 = cos(180◦ – ѳ1) = -x = -cosѳ1
:Cos(180◦ – ѳ) = -cosѳ

Similarly,
Tanѳ2 = tan (180◦ – ѳ1) = yx= -tanθ1
: tan (180◦ – ѳ) = -tanѳ
Hence in the second quadrant:
Sin(180◦ – ѳ) = sinѳ
Cos(180◦ – ѳ) = -cosѳ
Tan(180◦ – ѳ) = -tanѳ

: sin(360◦ + Ѳ) = -sinѲ
Cosѳ1 = cos(360◦ + Ѳ) = -x = -cosѲ1
: cos(360◦ + Ѳ) = -sinѲ
Tanѳ4 = tan (360◦ + Ѳ)=-y-x = -tanѳ

WEEK 9
TOPIC: Graphs of Trigonometric Function
The graph of the followings will be considered
(a) y = sinѳ, 0◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦
(b) y = cosѳ, 0◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦
(c) y = tanѳ, 0◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦
The graph of y = sinѳ, ѳ◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦
On the graph sheet, draw a long horizontal axis in the middle. Mark a point 0’, 3cm to the left of the origin 0. With centre 0’ draw a circle of radius 2cm. Draw a vertical axis through 0. Call the horizontal axis ѳ – axis and the vertical axis y – axis.
On the ѳ – axis choose a scale of 2cm to 1 unit. Using your protractor, mark the angles: 0◦, 30◦, 60◦, 90◦, 120◦, 150◦ … 330◦ as shown in
Draw a horizontal line through 30◦ on the circle. Draw a vertical line through 30◦ on the circle. Draw a vertical line through 30◦ on the ѳ – axis to meet the horizontal line. Mark the point of intersection of these two lines with a small neat cross. Repeat the above procedure for the angles 60◦, 90◦, 120◦, … 330◦. You will obtain a series of points. Join the points by a smooth curve. The curve you obtain is the graph of y = sinѳ.

Essential features of the graph of y = sinѳ:
(a) The graph of y = sinѳ forms a wave – like pattern. It is said to oscillate.
(b) The maximum value of y = sinѳ is 1 and it occurs when ѳ = 90◦.
(c) The minimum value of y = sinѳ is -1 it occurs when ѳ = 270◦.
(d) The graph repeats itself at intervals of 360◦. The sine function is an example of a periodic function because it repeats itself at intervals of 360◦. The function is said to have a periodicity of 360◦.
(e) The length AE on the graph is called the amplitude of the function.

The Graph of y = cosѳ, ѳ◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦
The graph of y = cosѳ can be drawn in a manner similar to that of y = sinѳ except that the angles are measured from OR in the clockwise sense as shown in Fig. 14.17. This is so because cosѳ = sin(90◦ – ѳ).
Essential features of the graph of y = cosѳ:
(a) All the essential features that hold for the graph of y = sinѳ also hold for the graph of y = cosѳ.
(b) In addition, the cosine curve lags behind the sine curve by a difference of 90◦. The difference is usually called a Phase difference. In other words, the cosine curve lags behind the sine curve by a phase difference of 90◦.
(c) Both the sine curve and the cosine curve demonstrate some physical phenomena like tidal waves, sound waves alternating currents, e.t.c.

The Graph of y = tanѳ, ѳ◦ ≤ 360◦
The graph of y = tanѳ is easier to draw using a table of values than using projections from a unit circle. Make a table of values of y = tanѳ from 0◦ to 360◦ as shown in Table 14.2
Essential features of the tangent curve:
(a) The curve consists of three parts between 0◦ and 360◦.
(b) Since the tangent function is not defined at 90◦ and 270◦, the function is said to be discontinuous at these points.(c) The curve rises and falls rapidly at anglesvery close to 90◦ and 270◦ respectively. The curve approaches the vertical lines at 90◦ and 270◦ but never touches them. These vertical lines at 90◦ and 270◦ ate called Asymptotes. The asymptotes are shown by dotted lines.

(d) The tangent function is also a periodic function. It has a periodicity of 180◦.

Take a scale of 1cm to represent 30◦ on the ѳ- axis and 1cm to represent 1 unit on the y – axis.

Example
Using the same axis, a scale of 1cm to represent 30◦ on the ѳ axis and 2cm to represent 1 unit on the y-axis, draw the graphs of the following relations.
(a) y = sinѳ
(b) y = 2sinѳ
(c)y = ½ sinѳ in the interval 0◦ ≤ ѳ ≤ 360◦.

Solution
(Refer to table 14.3 and Fig. 14.19)
We observe that the curves:
y = sinѳ
y = 2sinѳ
y = ½ sinѳ
have the same periodicity (360◦), but differ in amplitudes.
The amplitude of y = sinѳ is 1.
The amplitude of y = 2sinѳ is 2.
The amplitude of y = ½ sinѳis ½.
In general, the curve y = Asinѳ has amplitude /A/ abd a periodicity of 360◦. This property of the same curve is also a characteristic of the cosine curve.

Fig. 10 a

 

Fig 10a shows a unit circle ∆OPN is a right – angled triangle with OP = 1, ON = x and PN = y, PON – ѳ. Find the definition of trigonometric ratios.
x = cosѳ …(1)
y = sinѳ …(2)
From (1) x2 = cos2ѳ …(3)

From (2) y2 = sin2ѳ …(4)

Adding (3) and (4)
x2 + y2 = cosѳ2 + sinѳ2 …(5)

Since ∆OPN is a right – angled triangle
ON2 + NP2 = OP2
x2 + y2 = 1 …(6)
Equating (5) and (6)
cos2ѳ+ sin2ѳ = 1 …(7)

Dividing both sides of (7) by cos2ѳ
cos2ѳ + sin2ѳ = 1
cos2ѳ cos2ѳ cos2ѳ
: 1 + tan2ѳ = sec2ѳ
Dividing (7) through by sin2ѳ
Cos2ѳ + 1 = cosec2ѳ
: 1 + cot2ѳ = cosec2ѳ

Example
Show that (3 – sin2ѳ) cosec2ѳ = 2cosec2ѳ + cot2ѳ
Solution
LHS = 3cose2ѳ – sin2ѳ cosec2ѳ
= 3cosec2ѳ – sin2ѳ
Sin2ѳ
= 3cosec2ѳ – 1
= 3cosec2ѳ – (cosec2ѳ- cot2ѳ)
= 3cosec2ѳ – cosec2ѳ + cot2ѳ
= 2cosec2ѳ + cot2ѳ
= RHS

Example
Prove that11+cosѳ + 11-cosѳ = 2cosec2ѳ

Solution
LHS = 1-cosθ+(1+cosθ)1+cosθ(1-cosθ)
= 2
1 – cos2ѳ

LHS = 2
sins2ѳ
= 2cosec2ѳ
= RHs
Example
Show that 1+cosѳ1-cosѳ + 1-cosѳ1+cosѳ= 4cot2ѳ + 2

Solution
LHS
= 1+cosѳ1-cosѳ + 1-cosѳ1+cosѳ

= (1 + cosѳ)2 + (1 – cosѳ)2
(1 – cosѳ)(1 + cosѳ)
= 1 + 2cosѳ + cos2ѳ + 1 – 2cosѳ + cos2ѳ
1 – cos2ѳ
= 2cos2ѳ + 2
Sin2ѳ
= 2(cos2ѳ + 1)
Sin2ѳ
= 2(cot2ѳ + cosec2ѳ)
= 2(cot2ѳ + 1 + cot2ѳ)
= 2(2cot2ѳ + 1)
= 4cot2ѳ + 2
= RHS

Example
If asinѳ + bcosѳ = p
andacosѳ – bsinѳ = q
show that a2 + b2 = p2 + q2

Solution
asinѳ + bcosѳ = p …(1)
acosѳ – bsinѳ = q …(2)
Squaring both sides of (1)
(asinѳ + bcos)2 = p2
: a2 sin2ѳ + 2absinѳ cosѳ + b2cos2ѳ = p2 …(3)
Squaring both sides of (2)
(acosѳ – bsinѳ)2 = q2
a2cos2ѳ – 2absinѳ cosѳ + b2cos2ѳ = q2 …(4)
Adding (3) and (4)
a2sin2ѳ + 2absinѳ cosѳ + b2cos2ѳ + a2cosѳ – 2absinѳ cosѳ + b2sin2ѳ = p2q2
: a2sin2ѳ + a2cos2ѳ + b2cos2ѳ + b2sin2ѳ = p2 + q2
a2(sin2ѳ + cos2ѳ) + b2(cos2ѳ + sin2ѳ) = p2 + q2
But sin2ѳ + cos2ѳ = 1
: a2 + b2 = p2 + q2

Trigonometric Equations
A trigonometric equation is an equation containing trigonometric ratios.
Since trigonometric functions are periodic functions, there are infinite numbers of solutions for trigonometric equations. It is therefore the tradition to find some solutions within a given range.
If asinѳ + = 0(a ≠ 0)
then, asinѳ = -b
sinθ=-ba
Ѳ = sin1-ba
Sin1-bameans the angles whose sine ratio is-ba
It is called sine inverse of -ba it is also denoted as sin -ba thus:
Sinѳ = -ba
Ѳ = sin-1-ba

= arc sin -ba
Similarly, if acosѳ + b = 0, (a ≠ 0)
then cosѳ = -ba
ѳ = cos-1-ba
