Functions, relations and inverses


Definition: A relation is when a variable gets related to another variable by use of any formulae or
equation, ie x gets related to y. How y reacts to x gives us the different graphs.

A function is a special relation for which each x only has one y. The moment that that is
not the case, we have a non-function.

There are 9 different graphs you have to be able to analyse, interpret and sketch:
• Straight line
• Parabola
• Cubic
• Hyperbola
• Exponential
• Logarithmic
• Sine
• Cosine
• Tangent

There are certain questions, which you must be able to answer for all 9 graphs:

1. 𝒙-intercept:
o Let 𝑦 = 0.

2. y-intercept:
o Let 𝑥 = 0.

3. Definition/Domain:
o All 𝑥-values for which the function is defined.

4. Rang
o All y-values for which the function is defined.

5. Intersection between graphs:


o Set the y-values equal to each other or
o Use substitution to solve simultaneously.

6. Inverse relations:
o An inverse function is a reflection of a graph over the line 𝑦 = 𝑥.
o Determining the equation of an inverse: Swop the 𝑥 and y’s around in your equation,
then, preferrably, you make y the subject.
o Sketching an inverse: Take the original graph’s coordinates and swop the 𝑥 and y values
around and draw the sketch.
o REMEMBER: Domain of original is Range of inverse and Range of original is Domain of
the inverse.

Specific graphs and their unique questions


• Straight lines will be handled during analitical geometry

• Parabola
Equation:
𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑞 with (p;q) as stationary point;
OR
2
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐

o The stationary point can be calculated either by differentiating and setting the
𝒃
derivative equal to 0 or by calcuting the axis of symmetry 𝒙 = − 𝟐𝒂 and
substituting the 𝑥-value into the original equation.

o Finding equation: To find the equation depends on what has been given to you.
It will always be given either:
▪ Turning point(p;q): 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑞
▪ 2 𝒙-intercepts(𝒙𝟏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒙𝟐): 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑥1 )(𝑥 − 𝑥2 )

• Hyperbola
o Equation:
𝑎
𝑦= +𝑞
𝑥−𝑝

o Equations of assymptotes:
▪ Horizontal 𝑦 = 𝑞; and
▪ Vertical 𝑥 = 𝑝

o A very important thing to remember is that hyperbolas are symmetrical.

o Hyperbolas have 2 axes of symmetry:


▪ One with positive gradient: 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 𝑝 + 𝑞
▪ One with negative gradient: 𝑦 = −𝑥 + 𝑝 + 𝑞

• Exponential
o Equation:
𝑦 = 𝑏. 𝑎 𝑥−𝑝 + 𝑞

o Equation of asymptote:
▪ Horizontal 𝑦 = 𝑞

o The p-value is the number of units the graph has been moved left or right
o The q-value is the number of units the graph has been moved up or down

©Sarel van Greunen English Winter School June 2019 All rights reserved
-5-

• Logarithmic
o Equation:
𝑦 = log 𝑎 (𝑥 − 𝑝) + 𝑞
o Equation of asymptote:
▪ Vertical 𝑥 = 𝑝
o The p-value is the number of units the graph has been moved left or right
o The q-value is the number of units the graph has been moved up or down

• Trigonometrical graphs

o The standard sine and cosine graphs are very similar:


▪ Period= 360˚
▪ Amplitude=1

o The standard tangent is a strange graph


▪ Period= 180˚
▪ Amplitude=∞
▪ Asymptotes of standard tangent graph at 𝑥 = 90˚ + 𝑘. 180°; 𝑘 ∈ ℤ

o There are several alterations you are going to be asked


1. Period: 𝑦 = sin 𝑎𝑥;𝑦 = cos 𝑎𝑥 or 𝑦 = tan 𝑎𝑥 then the new period is:
𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝 ÷ 𝒂

2. Amplitude: 𝑦 = 𝑏 sin 𝑥 and 𝑦 = 𝑏 cos 𝑥 then the new amplitude is b, if b is


positive. If b is negative then we make b positive and that will be the new
amplitude.

3. Move of graph:
a. Left y = cos( x + 30  ) moved graph left by 30
b. Right y = sin( x − 40  ) moved graph right by 40
c. Up y = tan x + 2 moved graph up by 2 units
d. Down y = sin x − 1 moved graph down by 1 unit

4. Very important in sketching the graph is finding the Critical points by dividing the
period by 4. This gives you the interval between “special” happenings on the
graph.

Sequences and Series


Three types of sequences
• Quadratic
• Arithmetic
• Geometric

Quadratic patterns:
Definition: Second differences are equal where the first term form an arithmetic sequence.
General Term: 𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛 2 + 𝑏𝑛 + 𝑐
To calculate the values of a,b and c:
𝟐𝒂 = 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
𝟑𝒂 + 𝒃 = 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐢. 𝐞. 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝟏 − 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝟐
𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 = 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝟏

Arithmetic patterns:
Definition: All first differences are equal, i.e. you always add or subtract a constant
difference
NB: 𝑇2 − 𝑇1 = 𝑇3 − 𝑇2
General Term: 𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑
𝑑 = 𝑇2 − 𝑇1
𝑛
Sum of n Terms: 𝑆𝑛 = 2 (2𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑)
𝑛
OR 𝑆𝑛 = 2 (𝑎 + 𝑙)
𝑙 =Last term or n-th Term

Geometric patterns:
Definition: There exists a constant ratio, i.e. you multiply by the same ratio.
𝑻𝟑 𝑻
NB: ⁄𝑻 = 𝟐⁄𝑻
𝟐 𝟏

General Term: 𝑇𝑛 = 𝑎. 𝑟 𝑛−1


𝑇
𝑟 = 2⁄𝑇
1

Sum of n Terms:
𝑎(𝑟 𝑛 − 1)
𝑆𝑛 =
𝑟−1
OR
𝑎(1 − 𝑟 𝑛 )
𝑆𝑛 =
1−𝑟
𝑎
Sum to infinity: 𝑆∞ = (1−𝑟)
NB: Terms for convergence: −1 < 𝑟 < 1

Differentiation
Definition: Instantaneous rate of change

Formula: First Principles/ Ground Principles/ Definition:

𝑓(𝑥 + ℎ) − 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = lim
ℎ→0 ℎ

Short formula:
1. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 𝑛 then 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑎𝑛𝑥 𝑛−1
𝑑𝑦
2. 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥 then = 𝑘𝑥
𝑑𝑥
3. 𝐷𝑥 [𝑘] = 0

Your way of writing is very important

There are some restrictions on when you are allowed to differentiate; at university level you are going
to learn strategies to handle them straight-forward, but for now you must manipulate.

NOTATION WHEN DIFFERENTIATING


1. 𝑓(𝑥) → 𝑓′(𝑥)
𝑑𝑦
2. 𝑦 → 𝑑𝑥
3. 𝐷𝑥 [… ] = ⋯ {𝐷𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑠}
𝑑
4. (… ) = ⋯ {𝐷𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑠}
𝑑𝑥

Restrictions: Solution:
1. Brackets Multiply out
2
3
2. Roots Exponential laws e.g. √𝑥 2 = 𝑥 3
3. 𝑥 in denominator If 𝑥 is alone, split up
If 𝑥 is not alone, factorize top and cancel

Applications of differentiation
Graphs
The differentiate of 𝑓 shows the exact form of 𝑓
If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) < 0 then f is decreasing
If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) > 0 then f is increasing
If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 0 then f is non-moving/stationary

The last point is very important, since it gives us the formula to find any stationary or turning point,
namely you differentiate and put equal to 0.
𝑑𝑦
𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 0 or =0
𝑑𝑥

The second derivative gives you the concavity of the graph.


If 𝑓 ′′ (𝑥) < 0 then 𝑓 is concave down, for a maximum
If 𝑓 ′′ (𝑥) > 0 then 𝑓 is concave up, for a minimum
If 𝑓 ′′ (𝑥) = 0 then 𝑓 is at a changing point

Real life applications of differentiation


Most probably the most important tool for which we use differentiation is to find the minimum and/or
maximum for a problem by
dy
f ( x) = 0 or = 0.
dx

This applies for all problems that we can model with an equation.

Differentiation is also used to measure rate of change, i.e. the rate of change in distance gives speed
and the rate of change in speed gives acceleration.

Determining the equation of a cubic graph:


• Given 3 𝑥-intercepts:
𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑥1 )(𝑥 − 𝑥2)(𝑥 − 𝑥3)

• Given 2 𝑥-intercepts where 1 of the 𝑥-intercepts is also a turning point:


𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑥1)(𝑥 − 𝑥2 )2
where 𝑥2 is the 𝑥-value that is both 𝑥-intercept AND turning point.

• Given turning points:


1. Get the derivative of the given function;
2. Put the derivative equal to 0;
3. Substitute the different 𝑥-values of the turning points in to determine 2 different
equations;
4. Solve these equations simultaneously;

If you have any other unknowns in the functions, substitute coordinate(s) into the equation and solve
the equation(s).

Exponents

The reason for exponents is to shorten the way of writing any number.

Exponents laws
1. 32  34 = 34+ 2 = 36
2. x 6  x 3 = x 6−3 = x 3
12 22
3. ( xy ) = x y = x y
2 2 2 4

2 1
4. 3
x2 y = x 3 y 3

Basic definitions
1. x 0 = 1 except for x = 0
1 1 bc 4
2. a −2 = 2 or −1 = a1 = a a shortcut for this is, if you have a − 2 bc 4 = 2
a a a
−1
2 3
3.   =  
3 2

How to handle exponential sums:


Simplification:
• Only multiply and divide:
i. Change the bases into prime numbers
ii. Apply law 3 or 4
iii. Apply laws 1 and 2
iv. Find an answer
• Add or subtract of terms with exponents
i. Split the terms with exponents up
ii. Factorise
iii. Cancel out
iv. Find an answer
Equations:
• You handle each of the different types of equations the same as in simplification, but your
fourth steps change, instead of finding an answer, you :
o Get the bases the same;
o Leave away the bases;
o Solve the sum.

• When you have an 𝑥 as base, you simply:


o Get 𝑥 and its exponent alone on 1 side;
o Put both sides to the power of the reciprocal, inverse, of the exponent.

Logarithms

The madness behind logarithms is to solve exponential equations where it is nearly impossible to get
the bases the same. For this we must realise that logarithms are the inverse of exponents, ie. if you
have an equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥 and you take the inverse, which means that x and y change positions, we
have 𝑥 = 2𝑦 . To get y alone we must use logs:

𝑥 = 2𝑦 becomes 𝑦 = log 2 𝑥

Logarithmic laws
1. log a 2 + log a 3 = log a ( 2  3) = log a 6
2. log b 8 − log b 2 = log b (8  2) = log b 4
3. log b x 3 = 3 log b x
log x a
4. log b a =
log x b

Definitions
1. log a a = 1
2. log b 1 = 0
1
3. log b a =
log a b
1
logb   = − logb a
4. a
log 1 a = − logb a
b

Log laws are simply there to get rid of the logs, so that we can work with all the previous years’
methods.

Financial Mathematics

Financial Mathematics is simply about the loan and investment of money in banks or financial
institutions. There are 2 types of investments which appears in your syllabus:
Once-off and
Periodic transactions

Once-off financial transactions include all transactions, which occur once and then interest is added
on the Principal investment or loan amount. The following will be seen as once-off transactions:

Normal investments
Loans at a bank(Not home loans)
Inflation
Depreciation

Normal investments
Simple Interest 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖. 𝑛)
Compound interest 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖)𝑛

Depreciation
Cost price/ Straight line method 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 − 𝑖. 𝑛)
Reducing balance method 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 − 𝑖)𝑛

Inflation 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖)𝑛

Converting between nominal interest rate and effective interest:


A beloved question to be asked is to switch between nominal and effective interest. The formula is as
follows:
𝑚
𝑖 (𝑚)
1 + 𝑖𝑒 = (1 + )
𝑚

In the formula: 𝑖𝑒 = Effective interest rate


m= How many times a year the interest is compounded
𝑖 (𝑚)= Nominal interest rate

Periodic financial transactions are also known as annuities. Here there are 2 choices, either we take
the value at the end of the period or at the beginning of the period.

𝑥((1+𝑖)𝑛 −1)
Future value 𝐹=
𝑖
𝑥(1−(1+𝑖)−𝑛)
Present value 𝑃= 𝑖

In the exam there will are usually one of two questions asked:
Sinking funds or
Home loans

Sinking funds
A sinking fund is a fund set up to replace an asset (Vehicle or equipment) after a period of time. Sinking
funds questions consists of four parts:
1. Replacing value How much the will cost to replace after the period (Inflation)
2. Bookvalue The value of the car(Depreciation)
3. Sinking fund value Replacing value – Bookvalue
4. Monthly installment Annuity(Sinking fund = F)

Home loans
Home loans are relatively self explanatory. You want to buy a house and are willing to pay off the debt
over a period of time, usually 20 to 30 years. The calculations are relatively simple since we use the
Present value annuity to calculate the monthly repayments.

NB!! They are going to ask of you to calculate the outstanding balance after a number of years or
payments

To calculate the balance we have a look at how many payments must be made after the time at which
the balance is asked, an example could be that if you repay a house over 20 years and we want the
balance outstanding after 11 years, then there are 9 years of monthly repayments left and hence the
n-value will be 9 × 12 = 108. We use this n-value and the present value formula to get the balance:
𝑥(1 − (1 + 𝑖)−𝑛
𝑃=
𝑖

Trigonometry

CAST diagram

Sin All
180˚ − 𝜃 90˚ − 𝜃
90˚ + 𝜃

Tan Cos
180˚ + 𝜃 360˚ − 𝜃
𝜃 − 90˚
Negative angles
The best strategy you can follow is just adding 360˚ to the angle, since adding a revolution doesn’t
change the angle.

Angles greater than 360


You simply subtract 360 until your angle is between 0  and 360 .

Co-functions
cos(90 − x ) = sin x
sin(90 − x ) = cos x

Identities
Quotient identity
sin x
tan x =
cos x

Square identities
sin 2 x + cos2 x = 1
sin 2 x = 1 − cos2 x
cos2 x = 1 − sin 2 x

Compound angles
cos(𝑥 + 𝑦) = cos 𝑥 cos 𝑦 − sin 𝑥 sin 𝑦
cos(𝑥 − 𝑦) = cos 𝑥 cos 𝑦 + sin 𝑥 sin 𝑦
sin(𝑥 + 𝑦) = sin 𝑥 cos 𝑦 + cos 𝑥 sin 𝑦
sin(𝑥 − 𝑦) = sin 𝑥 cos 𝑦 − cos 𝑥 sin 𝑦

Double angles
sin 2𝑥 = 2 sin 𝑥 cos 𝑥

cos 2 𝑥 − sin2 𝑥
cos 2𝑥 = { 2cos 2 𝑥 − 1
1 − 2 sin2 𝑥

The big problem is manipulation, the secret is changing your sum so that you can get to a stage where
you can solve your question.A very important part of your matric syllabus is being able to factorise
trigonometrical expressions. There are 2 methods you can use:
1. Substitute the cos 𝑥 and/or sin 𝑥 with another variable, like a or b; or
2. Straight factorising

Trigonomentic equations
When it comes to solving trigonometrical equations, the first step would be to get an identity alone or
factorise to solve the equation. To be able to factorise you will be expected to manipulate your sum to
get it in factorisable form.

After you have the identity alone, you must find the reference angle. You use shift/2nd function to find
the reference angle. After finding the reference angle you check in which quadrant you want to work.

Now you must see what the exact question is, if asked for:
General solutions
• sine and cosine, you add 𝑘. 360˚
• tangent is special, since you only have to work in 1 quad and then add 𝑘. 180˚
• Remember: 𝑘 ∈ ℤ

Specific solutions
• Find the general solutions
• Choose values for k such that your answer falls in the desired interval

Euclidean Geometry
Euclidean Geometry is that special section in Mathematics where we study the different shapes and
their properties, specifically the properties relating to the sizes of the angles and the lengths of the
sides. Definitions, theorems, axioms and proofs form the basics of Euclidean geometry. In this section
we will look at the basic theorems that you need to know to answer the questions asked in the exams.

Analytical Geometry
The basic formulae for this section of work are:

Distance:
Formula: 𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

Midpoint:
𝑥2 +𝑥1 𝑦2 +𝑦1
Formula: 𝑀=( ; )
2 2
OR
𝑥2 +𝑥1 𝑦2 +𝑦1
𝑥𝑀 = and 𝑦𝑀 =
2 2

Gradient:
To find gradient there are 4 different methods:
𝑦 −𝑦
1. Two coordinates: 𝑚 = 𝑥2−𝑥1
2 1
2. Parallel lines: 𝑚1 = 𝑚2
3. Perpendicular line: 𝑚1 × 𝑚2 = −1
4. Inclination angle: 𝑚 = tan 𝜃

Equation of straight line


Formula: 𝑦 − 𝑦1 = 𝑚(𝑥 − 𝑥1)where (𝑥1 ; 𝑦1 ) is a coordinate on the straight line

Inclination angle
Formula: 𝑚 = tan 𝜃 if m is negative then 𝜃 = 180˚ − reference angle
Very important, is to find ways to calculate 𝜃 by use of Grade 8-10 geometry theorems

Special straight lines


There are special lines which you must be able to find the equation for:
1. Altitudes – a line from a point of a triangle, perpendicular to the opposite side
a. Here we use the formula for perpendicular lines to calculate the second gradient
b. We then use the formula and the coordinate on the line to find the equation of the
straight line

2. Median – a line from a point of triangle, which bisects the opposite side
a. Calculate the midpoint of the bisecting side
b. Find the gradient between the midpoint and the opposite coordinate
c. Use the formula and the coordinate on the line to find the equation of the straight line

3. Perpendicular bisector – ANY line which bisects a side and is perpendicular to that side
a. Calculate the midpoint of the bisecting side
b. Calculate the gradient of the side which is bisected
c. Now use the formula for perpendicular lines to calculate the second gradient

Statistics and linear regression

Definition of Statistics: The art of making sense of numbers.

Basic measurements used:


Individual stats
Individual statistics is where each number is given.

Average/Mean
The average number
∑𝑥 ∑ 𝑓𝑥
Formula: 𝑥̅ = or with frequencies(𝑓) 𝑥̅ =
𝑛 𝑛

Median
The number in the middle
𝑛+1
Formula: -th number
2

Mode:
The number that occurs most

Range:
The width of the population
Formula: Maximum – minimum

Lower Quartile(Q1)
The number on a quarter of the population
𝑛+1
Formula: -th number
4

Upper Quartile(Q3)
The number on 3 quarters of the population
3(𝑛+1)
Formula: -th number
4

Inter-Quartile Range(IQR)
The width between the upper and lower quartile
Formula: 𝑄3 − 𝑄1

- 24 -

Variance:
The square of the average number by which the numbers differ from average
∑(𝑥−𝑥̅ )2 ∑ 𝑓(𝑥−𝑥̅ )2
Formula: 𝜎2 = or if you work with frequencies: 𝜎 2 =
𝑛 𝑛

Standard deviation:
The actual number by which a number varies from the average
Formula: 𝜎 = √𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 = √𝜎 2

The best way to find variance and/or standard deviation is by filling in the following table:
Number(𝒙) Frequency(𝒇) 𝒙−𝒙 ̅ (𝒙 − 𝒙̅)𝟐 𝒇(𝒙 − 𝒙̅)𝟐
(1) (2) (1) − 𝑥̅ = (3) (3)2 = (4) (4) × (2)

Interval Stats:
When all the numbers are given in intervals instead of individually

All the above stays the same except the class midpoint is now used as 𝑥, instead of the actual number.

Class Midpoint
Start value+End value
Formula: midpoint = 2

Linear Regression
The main object of regression is to see the relationship that exists between two variables. We start off
by plotting the graph on a scatter plot diagram. If the relationship is linear then we need to plot a
straight line through the coordinates, i.e. draw a line of best fit.

Line of best fit
