6.1 Algebraic Expressions III

6.1.1 Expansion
1. The product of an algebraic term and an algebraic expression:
  • a(b + c) = ab + ac
  •  a(bc) = ab ac
2. The product of an algebraic expression and another algebraic expression:
  • (a + b) (c + d)  = ac + ad + bc + bd
  • (a + b)2= a2 + 2ab + b2
  • (ab)2= a2 – 2ab + b2
  • (a + b) (ab) = a2b2

6.1.2 Factorization
1. Factorize algebraic expressions:
  •  ab + ac = a(b + c)
  • a2b2 = (a + b) (ab)
  • a2+ 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
  • ac + ad + bc + bd = (a + b) (c + d)  
2. Algebraic fractions are fractions where both the numerator and the denominator or either the numerator or the denominator are algebraic terms or algebraic expressions.
Example:
3 b , a 7 , a + b a , b a b , a b c + d


3(a) Simplification of algebraic fractions by using common factors:
1 4 b c 3 12 b d = c 3 d b m + b n e m + e n = b ( m + n ) e ( m + n ) = b e

3(b) Simplification of algebraic fractions by using difference of two squares:
a 2 b 2 a n + b n = ( a + b ) ( a b ) n ( a + b ) = a b n
 

6.1.3 Addition and Subtraction of Algebraic Fractions
1. If they have a common denominator:
a m + b m = a + b m

2.
If they do not have a common denominator:
a m + b n = a n + b m n m


6.1.4 Multiplication and Division of Algebraic Fractions
1. Without simplification:
a m × b n = a b m n a m ÷ b n = a m × n b = a n b m  

2. 
With simplification:
a c m × b m d = a b c d a c m ÷ b d m = a c m × d m b = a d b c

5.1 Indices

5.1.1 Indices
1.   A number expressed in the form an is known as an index notation.
2.   an is read as ‘a to the power of n’ where a is the base and n is the index.
Example:

3.  
If a is a real number and is a positive integer, then




4.   The value of a real number in index notation can be found by repeated multiplication.
Example:
6= 6 × 6 × 6 × 6
= 1296


5.  
A number can be expressed in index notation by dividing the number repeatedly by the base.
Example:
243 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
= 35



5.1.2 Multiplication of Numbers in Index Notation
The multiplication of numbers or algebraic terms with the same base can be done by using the Law of Indices.
 
am  × an = am + n
 
Example:
33 × 38 = 33+8
= 311


5.1.3 Division of Numbers in Index Notation
1. The Law of indices for division is:
 
am  ÷ an = am - n
 
Example:
412 ÷ 412 = 412-12
= 40
= 1

2. a0 = 1


5.1.4 Raise Numbers and Algebraic Terms in Index Notation to a Power
To raise a number in index notation to a power, multiply the two indices while keeping the base unchanged.
 
(am ) n  = (an ) m  = amn
 
Example:
(43)7 = 43×7
= 421


5.1.5 Negative Indices

a n = 1 a n

Example:
5 2 = 1 5 2 = 1 25



5.1.6 Fractional Indices

a m n = a m n  or  ( a n ) m

Example:
64 2 3 = 64 2 3  or  ( 64 3 ) 2       =16

Calculate the percentage number of pupils who obtain scores more than the mode score.

Solution:
Mode score = 2
Number of pupils who obtain scores more than 2
= 5 + 3 + 2
= 10
Total number of pupils
= 4 + 11 + 5 + 3 + 2
= 25
Percentage number of pupils who obtain scores more than the mode score
= 10 25 × 100 % = 40 %


Question 5:
The mean age of Alex, Michelle and their three children is 34 years. The mean age of their three children is 20 years.
Calculate the mean age of Alex and Michelle.

Solution:
Total age = 34 × 5 = 170 years
Total age of their three children
= 20 × 3
= 60 years
Total age of Alex and Michelle
= 170 – 60
= 110 years

Mean age of Alex and Michelle
= 110 2 = 55 years

4.1.1 Pie Charts
1.   A pie chart is a graphic representation of data using sectors of a circle. The size of each sector shows the percentage of each category of data it represents.
 
Example:     


 
2.   The percentage of data represented by each sector can be calculated by using the formula below.
Percentage of data = angle of sector 360 o × 100 %

3.   To construct a pie chart, the angle of each sector can be calculated by using the formulae below.
  Angle of sector = data of each category overall data × 360 o

4.   Data can also be represented by pictograms, bar charts and line graphs.

5.   The choice of any these representations depends very much on the suitability of the data and the aim we wish to achieve in representing the data.


4.1.2 Mode, Median and Mean
1.   The mode of a set of data is the value of item which occurs most frequently.
Example:
3, 7, 6, 9, 7, 1, 5, 7, 2
Mode = 7

2.   When a set of data is given in a frequency table, the value or item which has the highest frequency is the mode.


3.   The median of a set of data is the value located in the middle of the set when the data is arranged in numerical order.
 - If the total number of data is odd, then the median is the value in the middle of the set.
 - If the total number of data is even, then the median is the average of the two middle values of the set

Example 1:
Find the medians of the following sets of data:
(a) 10, 9, 11, 6, 5, 8, 7
(b)   10, 9, 11, 6, 5, 8, 7,12
 
Solution:
(a) Number of data values = 7 ← (Odd number)
Rearranging the data in order of magnitude:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Therefore, median = 8
(b)   Number of data values = 8 ← (Even number)
Rearranging the data in order of magnitude:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Median = 8 + 9 2 = 8.5

4.   When a set of data is given in a frequency table, the value situated in the middle position of the data is the median.


5.   The mean of a set of data is obtained by using formula below.

Mean = sum of all values of data total number of data

 Example:
Find the mean of the following sets of data items:
-5, -2, -1, 7, 4, 9
 Solution:
  Mean = ( 5 ) + ( 2 ) + ( 1 ) + 7 + 4 + 9 6 = 12 6 = 2  


6.   When data is given in a frequency table, the mean can be found by using the formula below.
 
  Mean = sum of ( value × frequency ) total frequency

  Example:
The table below shows the scores obtained by a group of players in a game.
Score
1
2
3
4
5
Frequency
5
12
8
15
10
Find the mean of the scores.
 
  Solution:
Mean = sum of ( score × frequency ) total frequency = ( 1 × 5 ) + ( 2 × 12 ) + ( 3 × 8 ) + ( 4 × 15 ) + ( 5 × 10 ) 5 + 12 + 8 + 15 + 10 = 163 50 = 3.26
