Week 1

Introduction to Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometry is the study of triangles in relation to their sides and angles and many other areas which find applications in many disciplines. In particular, trigonometry functions have come to play great roles in science. For example, in physics, it is used when we want to analyse different kinds of waves, like sound waves, radio waves, light waves, etc. Also trigonometric ideas are of great importance to surveying, navigation and engineering.

We shall, however at this stage be concerned with the elementary ideas of trigonometry and their application.

Trigonometrical Ratios (Sine, Cosine and Tangent)

The basic trigonometric ratios are defined in terms of the sides of a right-angled triangle. It is necessary to recall that in a right-angled ∆ABC, with LC = 900, the side AB opposite the 900 is called the hypotenuse.

The notion that there should be some standard correspondence between the lengths of the sides of a triangle and the angles of the triangle comes as soon as one recognizes that similar triangles maintain the same ratios between their sides. That is, for any similar triangle the ratio of the hypotenuse (for example) and another of the sides remains the same. If the hypotenuse is twice as long, so are the sides. It is these ratios that the trigonometric functions express. To learn more, click here 

WEEK 2

Introduction

A Tangent of a Circle has two defining properties:

  • A tang
  • ent intersects a circle in exactly one place
  • The tangent intersects the circle’s radius at a 90° angle

Since a tangent only touches the circle at exactly one and only one point, that point must be perpendicular to a radius.

To test out the interconnected relationship of these two defining traits of a tangent, try the interactive applet.

The point where the tangent and the circle intersect is called the point of tangency. To learn more, click here

Trigonometry: Derivation of Sine Rule and Application; Derivation of Cosins Rule and Application

Introduction

The sine rule formula states that the ratio of a side to the sine function applied to the corresponding angle is same for all sides of the triangle. For a triangle ABC, sine rule can be stated as given below:

tttt1

The sine rule formula can be used to find the measure of unknown angle or side of a triangle. It can be used to predict unknown values for two congruent triangles.

If for a given triangle, a, b, and c are the lengths of sides , and A, B, and C are the opposite angles then the sine rule formula is also stated as the reciprocal of this equation:

tttt2

 Derivation of Sine Rule

To derive the formula, erect an altitude through B and label it hB as shown below. Expressing hB in terms of the side and the sine of the angle will lead to the formula of the sine law. To learn more, click here

WEEK 4 

Bearings: Angles of Elevation and Depression

Introduction to Angles of Elevation and Depression 

Any surface which is parallel to the surface of the earth is said to be horizontal. For example, the surface of liquid in a container is always horizontal, even if the container is held at an angle.

The floor of your classroom is horizontal. Any line drawn on horizontal surface is will also be horizontal. Any line or surface which is perpendicular to a surface is said to be vertical. The walls of your classroom are vertical. A plum-line is a mass which hangs freely on a thread.

1. Say whether the following are horizontal or vertical, or neither:

a. the table top

b. the door

c. the pictures

d. the floor boards

e. the back of the chair

f. the table legs

g. the ruler (on the table)

h. the line where the walls meet

i. the brush handle

j. the top edge of the small To learn more, click here

WEEK 5

calculation of Class Boundaries and Intervals

 Calculation of Class Boundaries and Intervals

Class Boundaries: Class Boundaries are the midpoints between the upper class limit of a class and the lower class limit of the next class in the sequence. Therefore, each class has an upper and lower class boundary.

 Example:
Class Frequency
200 – 299 12
300 – 399 19
400 – 499 6
500 – 599 2
600 – 699 11
700 – 799 7
800 – 899 3
Total Frequency 60

Using the frequency table above, determine the class boundaries of the first three classes.

For the first class, 200 – 299

The lower class boundary is the midpoint between 199 and 200, that is 199.5

The upper class boundary is the midpoint between 299 and 300, that is 299.5

 For the second class, 300 – 399

The lower class boundary is the midpoint between 299 and 300, that is 299.5

The upper class boundary is the midpoint between 399 and 400, that is 399.5

 For the third class, 400 – 499

The lower class boundary is the midpoint between 399 and 400, that is 399.5

The upper class boundary is the midpoint between 499 and 500, that is 499.5 To learn more, click here

WEEK 6

Cumulative Frequency Graph

Cumulative Frequency Graphs: What is it?

Cumulative frequency is the running total of the frequencies. On a graph, it can be represented by a cumulative frequency polygon, where straight lines join up the points, or a cumulative frequency curve.

Example

Frequency: Cumulative Frequency:  
4 4  
6 10 (4 + 6)
3 13 (4 + 6 + 3)
2 15 (4 + 6 + 3 + 2)
6 21 (4 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 6)
4 25 (4 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 4)

This short video shows you how to plotting a cumulative frequency curve from the frequency distribution. How to find the median and inter-quartile range.

The Median Value

The median of a group of numbers is the number in the middle, when the numbers are in order of magnitude. For example, if the set of numbers is 4, 1, 6, 2, 6, 7, 8, the median is 6:
1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8      (6 is the middle value when the numbers are in order)
If you have n numbers in a group, the median is the (n + 1)/2 th value. For example, there are 7 numbers in the example above, so replace n by 7 and the median is the (7 + 1)/2 th value = 4th value. The 4th value is 6.

When dealing with a cumulative frequency curve, “n” is the cumulative frequency (25 in the above example). Therefore the median would be the 13th value. To find this, on the cumulative frequency curve, find 13 on the y-axis (which should be labelled cumulative frequency). The corresponding ‘x’ value is an estimation of the median. To learn more, click here

WEEK 7

Determination of the Mean, Median and Mode of Grouped Frequency Data (Revision)

How to Determine the Mean, Median and Mode from Grouped Frequencies 

To better explain how to determine the mean, median and mode of grouped frequency data, we will work with common, relatable examples as you can see below-

Ade timed 21 people in the sprint race, to the nearest second:

59, 65, 61, 62, 53, 55, 60, 70, 64, 56, 58, 58, 62, 62, 68, 65, 56, 59, 68, 61, 67

To find the Mean, Ade adds up all the numbers, then divides by how many numbers:

Mean = 59+65+61+62+53+55+60+70+64+56+58+58+62+62+68+65+56+59+68+61+67
21
=  61.38095…

To find the Median Ade places the numbers in value order and finds the middle number.

frequency

In this case the median is the 11th number:

53, 55, 56, 56, 58, 58, 59, 59, 60, 61, 61, 62, 62, 62, 64, 65, 65, 67, 68, 68, 70

Median = 61  To learn more, click here

Week 8

Topic: PROBLEM-SOLVING ON NUMBER BASES EXPANSION, CONVERSION AND RELATIONSHIP

Converting from base b to base 10

The next natural question is: how do we convert a number from another base into base 10? For example, what does 42015 mean? Just like base 10, the first digit to the left of the decimal place tells us how many 50’s we have, the second tells us how many 51’s we have, and so forth. Therefore:

4201= (4.5+ 2.5+ 0.5+ 1.50)10

= 4.125 + 2.25 + 1

=55110

From here, we can generalize. Let x =(anan-1 … a1a0)be an n + 1 -digit number in base b. In our example (274610) a= 2, a= 7, a= 4 and a= 6. We convert this to base 10 as follows:

x = (anan-1 … a1a0)b

= (bn.a+ bn-1 . an-1 + … + b.a+ a0)10

Converting from base 10 to base b

It turns out that converting from base 10 to other bases is far harder for us than converting from other bases to base 10. This shouldn’t be a suprise, though. We work in base 10 all the time so we are naturally less comfortable with other bases. Nonetheless, it is important to understand how to convert from base 10 into other bases. To learn more, click here

Week 9

 Topic: INDICIAL EQUATION

Concept and Relationship with Quadratic Equation

Exponential or Indicial Equation is a combination of indices and all other forms of equations, it is very easy to solve provided you have excellent knowledge of the laws of Indices.

Rules for Solving Exponential (Indicial) Equations

1. The two sides i.e LHS and RHS of the equation must be expressed in index form.

2. The two sides of the equation must also have the same values for you to cancel them out.

3. You’ll always solve for an unknown value which can be represented by any letter of the alphabet.

Note

You will need to master all the laws of indices, if you must properly understand exponential equations.

Examples

1. If 32 = 32, find x. To learn more, click here
