1 Directions for completing the IB Mth SL Presumed Knowledge unit Plese complete the Bckground Knowledge unit nd do not wit to strt completing it! Go through ech section nd mke sure you cn do ech problem. These re ll skills tht you should hve in order to be successful in Mth SL. Mke sure your work is net nd orgnized for ech problem you complete. As you re working through ech problem, mke note of ny problems you do not understnd s well s ny questions you my hve. I will spend some time ech dy during the first couple weeks of school nswering your questions nd ddressing your concerns. I will not be collecting your pcket. However, your first test is over the contents of this unit. You will notice some different terminology used in this book. For instnce, the book uses fctorise where we re used to sying fctor. Look t the exmples in the blue boxes if you re unsure wht term mens, Google it, or emil me. You cn emil me t rtillmn@district70.org. I will check my emil periodiclly throughout the summer. Topics Included: 1. Rdicls 2. Scientific nottion. Inequlities nd set nottion 4. Liner equtions nd inequlities 5. Absolute vlue 6. Opertions with polynomils 7. Fctoring polynomils 8. Bsic lgebr 9.

A SURDS AND RADICALS A rdicl is ny number which is written with the rdicl sign p. A surd is rel, irrtionl rdicl such s p 2, p, p 5 or p 6. Surds re present in solutions to some qudrtic equtions. p 4 is rdicl but is not surd s it simplifies to 2. p is the non-negtive number such tht p p =. Properties: ² p is never negtive, so p > 0. ² p is meningful only for > 0. ² p b = p p b for > 0 nd b > 0. r p ² b = p for > 0 nd b>0. b Exmple 1 Write s single surd: p 2 p b p 18 p 6 p 2 p = p 2 = p 6 b = p p 18 6 q 18 6 = p or p 18 p 6 = p 6 p p 6 = p EXERCISE A 1 Write s single surd or rtionl number: p p 5 b ( p ) 2 c 2 p 2 p 2 d p 2 2 p 2 e p 7 2 p 7 f p p 12 2 g p p12 6 h p p18 Exmple 2 Simplify: p +5 p b 2 p 2 5 p 2 Compre with 2x 5x = x p +5 p = ( + 5) p =8 p b 2 p 2 5 p 2 = (2 5) p 2 = p 2

7 6 BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE C NUMBER SYSTEMS AND SET NOTATION NUMBER SYSTEMS We use: ² R to represent the set of ll rel numbers. These include ll of the numbers on the number line. negtives 0 positives ² N to represent the set of ll nturl numbers. N = f0, 1, 2,, 4, 5,...g ² Z to represent the set of ll integers. Z = f0, 1, 2,, 4,...g ² Z + is the set of ll positive integers. Z + = f1, 2,, 4,...g ² Q to represent the set of ll rtionl numbers which re ny numbers of the form p where p nd q re integers, q 6= 0. q SET NOTATION fx j <x<2g reds the set of ll vlues tht x cn be such tht x lies between nd 2. the set of ll such tht Unless stted otherwise, we ssume tht x is rel.

EXERCISE D 1 Simplify if possible: x +7x 10 b x +7x x c 2x +x +5y d 8 6x 2x e 7b +5b f x 2 +7x 2 Remove the brckets nd then simplify: (2x + 5) + 4(5 + 4x) b 6 2(x 5) c 5(2 b) 6( 2b) d x(x 2 7x + ) (1 2x 5x 2 ) Simplify: 2x(x) 2 b 2 b 9b 4 c p 16x 4 d (2 2 ) 4 E LINEAR EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES When deling with inequlities: ² multiplying or dividing both sides by negtive reverses the inequlity sign. ² do not multiply or divide both sides by the unknown or term involving the unknown. EXERCISE E 1 Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 25 b x 7 > 11 c 5x + 16 = 20 d x 7 = 10 e 6x + 11 < 4x 9 f x 2 =8 5 g 1 2x > 19 h 1 2 x +1= 2 x 2 i 2 x 4 = 1 2 (2x 1)

For exmple: the modulus of 7 is 7, nd the modulus of 7 is lso 7. GEOMETRIC DEFINITION The modulus of rel number is its distnce from zero on the number line. Becuse the modulus is distnce, it cnnot be negtive We denote the modulus of x s jxj. jxj is the distnce of x from 0 on the rel number line. x If x>0 If x<0 0 x x x 0 jx j cn be considered s the distnce of x from. ALGEBRAIC DEFINITION jxj = x if x > 0 x if x<0 or jxj = p x 2 MODULUS EQUATIONS It is cler tht jxj = 2 hs two solutions, x = 2 nd x = 2, since j2j = 2 nd j 2j =2. If jxj = where > 0, then x =.

For exmple, x 1 x + 2 ADDING AND SUBTRACTING ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS hs LCD of 6, so we write ech frction with denomintor 6. Exmple 21 Write s single frction: 2+ x b x 1 x x ³ x =2 + x x 2x + = x b x 1 x + 2 = 2 µ x 1 µ x (x 1) (x + ) = 6 2x 2 x 9 = 6 x 11 = 6 EXERCISE J 1 Write s single frction: + x 5 d x 2 4 Exmple 22 Write x +1 x 2 2 s single frction. b 1+ x e 2+x + x 4 5 x +1 x 2 2 µ µ x +1 x 2 = 2 x 2 x 2 (x + 1) 2(x 2) = x 2 x +1 2x +4 = x 2 = x +5 x 2 c + x 2 2 2x +5 f x flcd =(x 2)g

The tringles hve the sme shpe nd size. There re four cceptble tests for the congruence of two tringles. Two tringles re congruent if one of the following is true: ² corresponding sides re equl in length (SSS) ² two sides nd the included ngle re equl (SAS) ² two ngles nd pir of corresponding sides re equl (AAcorS) ² for right ngled tringles, the hypotenuse nd one other pir of sides re equl (RHS). If congruence cn be proven then ll corresponding lengths, ngles nd res must be equl.

22 22 BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE L PYTHAGORAS THEOREM The hypotenuse is the longest side of right ngled tringle. It is opposite the right ngle. Pythgors Theorem is: In right ngled tringle, the squre of the length of the hypotenuse is equl to the sum of the squres of the lengths of the other two sides. c 2 = 2 + b 2 c b This theorem, known to the ncient Greeks, is vluble becuse: ² if we know the lengths of ny two sides of right ngled tringle then we cn clculte the length of the third side ² if we know the lengths of the three sides then we cn determine whether or not the tringle is right ngled. The second sttement here relies on the converse of Pythgors Theorem, which is: If tringle hs sides of length, b nd c units nd 2 + b 2 = c 2 then the tringle is right ngled nd its hypotenuse is c units long. Exmple 25 Find the unknown length in: 1 m 1 m 08. m x m 08. m x m x 2 =0: ) x = p (0: ) ) x ¼ 1:2806 So, the length is bout 1:28 m. Exmple 26 Find the unknown length in: 5 m x m 17. m 5 m x m 17. m x 2 +1:7 2 =5 2 ) x 2 =5 2 1:7 2 ) x = p (5 2 1:7 2 ) ) x ¼ 4:7021 So, the length is bout 4:70 m.

Exmple 27 The floor of room is 6 m by 4 m, nd the floor to ceiling height is m. Find the distnce from corner point on the floor to the opposite corner point on the ceiling.
