    The Factorial n!

    The notation n! is read as ‘n factorial’. It is defined for a positive integer n as the product of the first n positive integers.

    Examples

    (a) 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

    (b) 4!= 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24

    Quadratic Inequalities

    1. A quadratic expression is an expression of the form ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are constants and a # 0.
    For example: 4x^2 — 2x + 1

    2. A quadratic function is a function with rule being a quadratic expression. For example: y = x^2 — 3x + 1 or f(x) = x^2 — 3x + 1

    3. A quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants and a # 0.
    For example: 2x^2 + 5x — 10 = 0

    4. A quadratic inequality is an inequality that can be expressed in one variable on one side and zero on the other such that
    ax^2 + bx + c < 0, where a, b and c are constants and a # 0.

    For example: 4x^2 — 2x + 1 < 0 and (x — 1)(x + 3)< 0

    5. Steps to solve a quadratic inequality:
    (a) Make the right-hand side (RHS) of the inequality zero by bringing all the terms to the left-hand side (LHS).
    (b) Factorise the expression on the LHS.
    (c) Use one of the following methods to find the solution.
    (i) Sketch the quadratic curve, OR
    (ii) Use the sign test

    Partial fractions

    1/(X+a)(X+b) = A/(X+a) + B/(X+b)

    1/(X+a)^2 = A/(X+a)^2 + B/(X+b)

    1/(aX^2+b)(X+c) = (AX + B)/(aX^2+b) + C/(X+c)

    Note
    a,b,c,A.B,C, are constant

    TOPIC 1 SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS

    Exam Tip 1
    When we solve 2 simultaneous equations, the solutions are actually the intersection points (x and y coordinates) of the 2 intersecting curves (or straight lines) represented by the simultaneous equations.

    Question

    (a) Find the smallest value of the integer a for which ax^2-8x+3 is positive for all values of x.

    (b) The equation of a curve is y = x^3 + 5/2x^2 -2x +1
    Find the set of values of x for which y is a decreasing function.

    Solution

    (a)
    ax^2-8x+3>0
    (-8)^2-12a<0
    12a>64
    a>5 1/3
    The smallest integer a is 6.

    (b)
    y = x^3 + 5/2x^2 -2x +1
    dy/dx = 3x^2 + 5x – 2
    For decreasing function, dy/dx < 0 3x^2 + 5x - 2 < 0 (3x - 1)(x + 2) < 0 Draw number line -2 < x < 1/3 Please contact Angie @ 96790470 or Mr Ong @ 98639633 if you need help in Elementary Math
