© The locus of the points which are at a given
distance from a given point
In the diagram (left) it can be scen that the locus of all the
points equidistant from a point A is the circumference of a
circle centre A. This is due to the fact that all points on the
circumference of a circle are equidistant from the centre,
 
© The locus of the points which are at a given
distance from a given straight line
In the diagram (left) it can be seen that the focus of the points
‘equidistant from a straight line AB runs parallel to that straight
line. IL is important to note that the distance of the locus from
the straight line is measured at right angles to the line. This
diagram, however, excludes the ends of the fine. If these two
points are taken into consideration then the locus takes the
form shown in the next diagram (left).

@ Metric units
The metric system uses a variety of units for length, mass and
capacity.
‘¢ The common units of length are: kilometre (km), metre (m),
centimetre (cm) and millimetre (mm).
¢ The common units of mass are: tonne (t), kilogram (kg).
gram (g) and milligram (mg).
¢ The common units of capacity are: litre (L or 1) and miflilitre
(m1),
Note: ‘centi’ comes from the Latin centim meaning hundred
(a centimetre is one hundredth of a metre);
‘milli’ comes from the Latin mille meaning thousand
(amillimetre is one thousandth of a metre):
“kilo” comes from the Greek khilloi meaning thousand
(a kilometre is one thousand metres).
It may be useful to have some practical experience of estimating
lengths, volumes and capacities before starting
the following exercises.
Copy and complete the sentences below:
1, a) There are... centimetres in one metre.
b) There are... millimetres in one metre.
c) One metre is one ... of a kilometre.
d) One milligram is one... of gram.

Inthe middle of the seventeenth century there were three
great French mathematicians, René Descartes, Bleise Pascal
and Pierre de Fermat.
René Descartes was a philosopher and « mathematician,
His book The Meditations asks ‘How and what do l know?!
His work in mathematics made o link between algebra and
‘geometry. He thought thot all nature could be explained in
terms of mathematics. Although he was net considered as
talented a mathematician as Paseel and Fermat, he hes had
‘greater influence on modern thought. The (x, y) coordinates
we use ore called Cartesian coordinates after Descartes.
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) was a genius who studied
geometry as o child, When he was 16 he stated and proyed
Pascal's Theorem, which relates any six points on any conic
section, The Theorem is sometimes called the ‘Cats Cradle’.
He founded! probability theory and made contributions tothe René Descartes (1596-1650)
invention of calculus. He is best known for Pascal's Triangle.
Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) wos a brilliant mathematician and, along with Descartes, one:
cof the most influential. Fermat invented number theory and worked én calculls. Heldiscovered
probabiliy theory with his friend Pascal. It can be argued that Fermat was at least Newon’s equal as a
mathematician.
Fermat's most famous discovery in number theory includes ‘Fermat's Last Theorem’ This theorem
is derived from Pylhagoros' theorem which states that for right-angled triangle, x2 = y# + 24 where x
is the length of the hypotenuse. Fermot said that if the index (power) was greater than iwo end x,y,z
care all whole numbers, then the equation was never rue. (This theorem was only proved in 1995 by the
English mathematician Andrew Wiles.)Straight-line graphs

The lines have some properties in common (i. they are
straight), but also have differences. One of their differences is
that they have different slopes. The slope of a line is called its
gradient.
‘The gradient of a straight line is constant, ie. it does not
change. The gradient of a straight line can be calculated by

@ Leonhard Euler
Evler, like Newton, was the greatest mathematician of
his generation. He studied all creas of mathematics and
continued fo work hard offer he had gone blind.
‘As a young men, Euler discovered and proved:
ie tata
 
This brought him to the attention of other mathematicians:
Euler made discoveries in many areas of mathemetics,
‘especially calculus and trigonometry. He also developed the
ideas of Newton and Leibniz.
Euler worked on graph theory and functions and was
the first fo prove several theorems in geometry. He studied
relationships between a triangle’s height, midpoint, and
Grcumseribing and inscribing circles, and an expression for
the area of a tetrahedron (c tricngular pyramid) in terms of ts sides.
He also worked on number theory and found the largest prime number knawn at the time.
‘Some of the most important constant symbols in mathematics, 1, @ andi (the squarelfbot of ~1),

@ The Bernoulli family
The Bernoullis were a family of Swiss merchants who were friends 6f Euler. The two brothers, Johann
‘and Jacob, were very gifted mathematicians end scientists, es were their children end grandchildren
They made discoveries in calculus, trigonometry and probability theory in mathematics: In Science,
they worked on astronomy, magnetism, mechanics, thermodynamics and more.
Unfortunately many members of the Bernoulli family were not pleasant people. The older members
of the family were jealous of each other's successes and often siole the work of their sons end
grandsons and pretended that it was their own,(2) Bearings

In the days when sailing ships travelled the oceans of the world,
compass bearings like the ones in the diagram above were used.
‘As the need for more accurate direction arose, extra points
were added to N, S, E, W, NE, SE, SW and NW. Midway
between North and North East was North North East, and
midway between North East and Bast was East North East, and
so on. This gave sixteen points of the compass. This was later
extended even further, eventually to sixty four points.
‘As the speed of travel increased, a new system was required.
‘The new system was the three figure bearing system. North was
given the bearing zero. 360° in a clockwise direction was one full
rotation.
@ Back bearings
‘The bearing of B from A is 135° and the distance from A to B is
8 cm, as shown (left). The bearing of A from Bis called the
ack bearing.
Since the two North lines are parallel:
p= 135° (alternate angles), so the back bearing is (180 + 135)".
That is, 315°.
(There are a number of methods of solving this type of problem.)29

Worked example The bearing of B from A is 245°.
‘What is the bearing of A from B?

Since the two North lines are parallel
b = 65° (alternate angles), so the bearing is (245 ~ 180)".

There are three basic trigonometric ratios: sine, cosine and
tangent
Each of these relates an angle of a right-angled triangle to a
ratio of the lengths of two of its sides.
‘The sides of the triangle have names, two of which are
dependent on their position in relation to a specific angle.
The longest side (always opposite the right angle) is
called the hypotenuse. The side opposite the angle is called
the opposite side and the side next to the angle is called the
adjacent side.

give the first solution. To be able to calculate the value of the
second possible solution, an understanding of the shape of

A matrix represents another way of writing information. Here
the information is written as a rectangular array. For example,
two pupils Lea and Pablo sit a maths exam, a science exam and
an English exam. Lea scores 73%, 67% and 81% respectively,
whilst Pablo scores 64% , 82% and 48% respectively. This can

A size of a matrix is known as its order and is denoted by the
number of rows times the number of columns. Therefore the
order of matrix A is 3 x 3, whilst the order of matrix Bis 2. 4.
Each of the numbers in the matrix is called an element. A 2 x 4
matrix consists of 8 elements.
Matrix A and matrix E above are called square matrices as
they have the same number of rows and columns. Matrix C is
called a row matrix as it consists of only one row, and matrix D
is called a column matrix as it consists of only one column,
Therefore, for any matrix of order m x mn:

A point on the object and its equivalent point on the image are
equidistant from the mirror line. This distance is measured at
right angles to the mirror line. The line joining the point to its
image is perpendicular to the mirror line.
The position of the mirror line is essential when describing
reflection. At times its equation as well as its position will be
required,

@ Translation
Tf.an object is translated, it undergoes a ‘straight sliding”

the translation vector. As no rotation is involved, each point on
the object moves in the same way to its corresponding point on

@ Enlargement
Ifan object is enlarged, the result is an image which is
mathematically similar to the object but of a different size. The
image can be either larger or smaller than the original object.
‘When describing an enlargement wo pieces of information
need to be given, the position of the centre of enlargement and
the scale factor of enlargement.Matrices and transformations
 
Worked examples a) In the diagram below, triangle ABC is enlarged to form
triangle A'B'C.
 
i) Find the centre of enlargement.
‘The centre of enlargement is found by joining
corresponding points on the object and image with a
straight line. These lines are then extended until they
meet. The point at which they meet is the centre of
enlargement O.
 
ii) Calculate the scale factor of enlargement.
‘The scale factor of enlargement can be calculated in one
of two ways. From the diagram above it can be seen that
the distance OA’ is twice the distance OA. Similarly OC’
and OB' are both twice OC and OB respectively, hence
the scale factor of enlargement is 2.
Alternatively the scale factor can be found by
considering the ratio of the length of a side on the
image to the length of the corresponding side on the
 
object. ie.
AB _ 12
AB 6?
Hence the scale factor of enlargement is 2.Transformations
 
b) In the diagram below, the rectangle ABCD undergoes a
transformation to form rectangle A'B'C'D'.

Note: If the scale factor of enlargement is greater than 1,
then the image is larger than the object. If the scale factor
lies between 0 and 1, then the resulting image is smaller
than the object. In these cases, although the image is
smaller than the object, the transformation is still known as
an enlargement.Matrices and transformations

© Relative frequency
A football referee always used a special coin to toss for ends.
He noticed that out of the last twenty matches the coin had
come down heads far more often than tails. He wanted to know
if the coin was fair, that is, if it was as likely to come down heads
as tai
He decided to do a simple experiment by spinning the coin
lots of times. His results are shown below:

‘The relative frequency
In the “long run’, that is after a large number of trials, did the
coin appear to be fair?
Notice that the greater the number of trials the better the
estimated probability or relative frequency is likely to be. The
key idea is that increasing the number of trials gives a better
estimate of the probability and the claser the result obtained by
experiment will be to that obtained by calculation.

@ Average
‘Average’ isa word which in general use is taken to mean
somewhere in the middle. For example, a woman may describe
herself as being of average height. A student may think he or
she is of average ability in maths. Mathematics is more exact
and uses three principal methods to measure average.

@ Spread
Is often useful to know how spread out the data is. Itis
possible for two sets of data to have the same mean and median
but very different spreads.
‘The simplest measure of spread is the range. The range is
simply the difference between the largest and smallest values in
the data.
Another measure of spread is known as the inter-quartile
range. This is covered in more detail in Chapter 39.

@ The mean for grouped data
The mean for grouped data can only be an estimate as the
position of the data within a group is not known, An estimate is,
made by calculating the mid-interval value for a group and then
assigning all of the data within the group that mid-interval value.

© Cumulative frequency
Calculating the cumulative frequency is done by adding up the
frequencies as we go along. A cumulative frequency diagram
is particularly useful when trying to calculate the median of a
large set of data, grouped or continuous data, or when trying to
establish how consistent a set of results are.
