  • Mathematics for the International Student: Mathematics SL has been written to embracethe syllabus for the two-year Mathematics SL Course, which is one of the courses of study inthe IB Diploma Programme. It is not our intention to define the course. Teachers areencouraged to use other resources. We have developed this book independently of theInternational Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in consultation with many experiencedteachers of IB Mathematics. The text is not endorsed by the IBO.

    The second edition builds on the strength of the first edition. Chapters are arranged to followthe same order as the chapters in our , making it easierfor teachers who have combined classes of SL and HL students.

    Syllabus references are given at the beginning of each chapter. The new edition reflects theMathematics SL syllabus more closely, with several sections from the first edition beingconsolidated in this second edition for greater teaching efficiency. Topics such as Pythagorastheorem, coordinate geometry, and right angled triangle trigonometry, which appeared inChapters 7 and 10 in the first edition, are now in the Background Knowledge at thebeginning of the book and accessible as printable pages on the CD.

    Changes have been made in response to the introduction of a calculator-free examinationpaper. A large number of questions have been added and categorised as calculator ornon calculator. In particular, the final chapter contains over 150 examination-stylequestions.

    Comprehensive graphics calculator instructions are given for Casio fx-9860G, TI-84 Plus andTI- spire in an introductory chapter (see p. 17) and, occasionally, where additional help maybe needed, more detailed instructions are available as printable pages on the CD. Theextensive use of graphics calculators and computer packages throughout the book enablesstudents to realise the importance, application, and appropriate use of technology. No singleaspect of technology has been favoured. It is as important that students work with a pen andpaper as it is that they use their calculator or graphics calculator, or use a spreadsheet orgraphing package on computer.

    This package is language rich and technology rich. The combination of textbook andinteractive Student CD will foster the mathematical development of students in a stimulatingway. Frequent use of the interactive features on the CD is certain to nurture a much deeperunderstanding and appreciation of mathematical concepts. The CD also offers forevery worked example. is accessed via the CD click anywhere on any workedexample to hear a teachers voice explain each step in that worked example. This is ideal forcatch-up and revision, or for motivated students who want to do some independent studyoutside school hours.

    For students who may not have a good understanding of the necessary background knowledgefor this course, we have provided printable pages of information, examples, exercises, andanswers on the Student CD see Background knowledge (p. 12). To access these pages,click on the Background knowledge icon when running the CD.

    The interactive features of the CD allow immediate access to our own specially designedgeometry software, graphing software and more. Teachers are provided with a quick and easyway to demonstrate concepts, and students can discover for themselves and re-visit whennecessary.

  • It is not our intention that each chapter be worked through in full. Time constraints may notallow for this. Teachers must select exercises carefully, according to the abilities and priorknowledge of their students, to make the most efficient use of time and give as thoroughcoverage of work as possible. Investigations throughout the book will add to the discoveryaspect of the course and enhance student understanding and learning. Many investigations aresuitable for portfolio assignments.

    In this changing world of mathematics education, we believe that the contextual approachshown in this book, with the associated use of technology, will enhance the studentsunderstanding, knowledge and appreciation of mathematics, and its universal application.

    We welcome your feedback.

  • 12 BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE AND GEOMETRIC FACTS

    A circle is a set of points which are equidistant froma fixed point, which is called its centre.

    The circumference is the distance around the entirecircle boundary.

    An arc of a circle is any continuous part of thecircle.

    A chord of a circle is a line segment joining anytwo points of a circle.

    A semi-circle is a half of a circle.

    A diameter of a circle is any chord passing throughits centre.

    A radius of a circle is any line segment joining itscentre to any point on the circle.

    A tangent to a circle is any line which touches thecircle in exactly one point.

  • 18 GRAPHICS CALCULATOR INSTRUCTIONS

    In this course it is assumed that you have a graphics calculator. If you learn how to operate

    your calculator successfully, you should experience little difficulty with future arithmetic

    calculations.

    There are many different brands (and types) of calculators. Different calculators do not have

    exactly the same keys. It is therefore important that you have an instruction booklet for your

    calculator, and use it whenever you need to.

    However, to help get you started, we have included here some basic instructions for the

    Casio fx-9860G, the Texas Instruments TI-84 plus and the Texas Instruments TI-nspire

    calculators. Note that instructions given may need to be modified slightly for other models.

    The instructions have been divided into three sections, one for each of the calculator models.

    BASIC FUNCTIONS

    GROUPING SYMBOLS (BRACKETS)

    The Casio has bracket keys that look like ( and ) .

    Brackets are regularly used in mathematics to indicate an expression which needs to be

    evaluated before other operations are carried out.

    For example, to evaluate 2 (4 + 1) we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) EXE .

    We also use brackets to make sure the calculator understands the expression we are typing in.

    For example, to evaluate 24+1 we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) EXE .

    If we typed 2 4 + 1 EXE the calculator would think we meant 24 + 1.

    In general, it is a good idea to place brackets around any complicated expressions which need

    to be evaluated separately.

    POWER KEYS

    The Casio has a power key that looks like ^ . We type the base first, press the power key,then enter the index or exponent.

    For example, to evaluate 253 we type 25 ^ 3 EXE .

    Numbers can be squared on the Casio using the special key x2 .

    For example, to evaluate 252 we type 25 x2 EXE .

    ROOTS

    To enter roots on the Casio we need to use the secondary function key SHIFT .

    We enter square roots by pressing SHIFT x2 .

    For example, to evaluatep36 we press SHIFT x2 36 EXE .

    If there is a more complicated expression under the square root sign you should enter it in

    brackets.

    For example, to evaluatep18 2 we press SHIFT x2 ( 18 2 ) EXE .

    Cube roots are entered by pressing SHIFT ( .

    For example, to evaluate 3p8 we press SHIFT ( 8 EXE .

    Higher roots are entered by pressing SHIFT ^ .

    For example, to evaluate 4p81 we press 4 SHIFT ^ 81 EXE .

    LOGARITHMS

    We can perform operations involving logarithms in base 10 using the log button.

    To evaluate log(47) press log 47 EXE .

    To evaluate log3 11, press SHIFT 4 (CATALOG), and select

    logab( . You can use the alpha keys to navigate the catalog, so

    in this example press I to jump to L.

    Press 3 , 11 ) EXE .

    INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

    The inverse trigonometric functions sin1, cos1 and tan1 are the secondary functions ofsin , cos and tan respectively. They are accessed by using the secondary function key

    SHIFT .

    For example, if cosx = 35 , then x = cos1 3

    5

    .

    To calculate this, press SHIFT cos ( 3 5 ) EXE .

    SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

    If a number is too large or too small to be displayed neatly on the screen, it will be expressed

    in scientific notation, which is the form a 10k where 1 6 a < 10 and k is an integer.To evaluate 23003, press 2300 ^ 3 EXE . The answer

    displayed is 1:2167e+10, which means 1:2167 1010.To evaluate 320 000 , press 3 20 000 EXE . The answerdisplayed is 1:5e04, which means 1:5 104.

    You can enter values in scientific notation using the EXP key.

    For example, to evaluate 2:61014

    13 , press 2:6 EXP 14 13EXE . The answer is 2 1013.

    SECONDARY FUNCTION AND ALPHA KEYS

    The shift function of each key is displayed in yellow above the key. It is accessed by pressing

    the SHIFT key followed by the key corresponding to the desired shift function.

    For example, to calculatep36, press SHIFT x2 (

    p) 36 EXE .

    The alpha function of each key is displayed in red above the key. It is accessed by pressing

    the ALPHA key followed by the key corresponding to the desired letter. The main purpose

    of the alpha keys is to store values which can be recalled later.

    MEMORY

    Utilising the memory features of your calculator allows you to recall calculations you have

    performed previously. This not only saves time, but also enables you to maintain accuracy

    in your calculations.

    SPECIFIC STORAGE TO MEMORY

    Values can be stored into the variable letters A, B, ..., Z. Storing a value in memory is useful

    if you need that value multiple times.

    Suppose we wish to store the number 15:4829 for use in a numberof calculations. To store this number in variable A, type in the

    number then press I ALPHA X,,T (A) EXE .

    We can now add 10 to this value by pressing ALPHA X,,T +

    10 EXE , or cube this value by pressing ALPHA X,,T ^ 3 EXE .

    ANS VARIABLE

    The variable Ans holds the most recent evaluated expression,

    and can be used in calculations by pressing SHIFT () . Forexample, suppose you evaluate 3 4, and then wish to subtractthis from 17. This can be done by pressing 17 SHIFT ()EXE .

    If you start an expression with an operator such as + , ,etc, the previous answer Ans is automatically inserted ahead of

    the operator. For example, the previous answer can be halved

    simply by pressing 2 EXE .

    If you wish to view the answer in fractional form, press FJID .

    RECALLING PREVIOUS EXPRESSIONS

    Pressing the left cursor key allows you to edit the most recently evaluated expression, and is

    useful if you wish to repeat a calculation with a minor change, or if you have made an error

    in typing.

    Suppose you have evaluated 100 +p132. If you now want to evaluate 100 +

    p142, instead

    of retyping the command, it can be recalled by pressing the left cursor key. Move the cursor

    between the 3 and the 2, then press DEL 4 to remove the 3 and change it to a 4. Press EXE

    to re-evaluate the expression.

    LISTS

    Lists enable us to store sets of data, which we can then analyse and compare.

    CREATING A LIST

    Selecting STAT from the Main Menu takes you to the list editor

    screen.

    To enter the data f2, 5, 1, 6, 0, 8g into List 1, start by movingthe cursor to the first entry of List 1. Press 2 EXE 5 EXE ......

    and so on until all the data is entered.

    DELETING LIST DATA

    To delete a list of data from the list editor screen, move the cursor to anywhere on the list

    you wish to delete, then press F6 (B) F4 (DEL-A) F1 (Yes).

    REFERENCING LISTS

    Lists can be referenced using the List function, which is accessed by pressing SHIFT 1.

    For example, if you want to add 2 to each element of List 1 and display the results in List

    2, move the cursor to the heading of List 2 and press SHIFT 1 (List) 1 + 2 EXE .

    Casio models without the List function can do this by pressing OPTN F1 (LIST) F1

    (List) 1 + 2 EXE .

    STATISTICS

    Your graphics calculator is a useful tool for analysing data and creating statistical graphs.

    We will first produce descriptive statistics and graphs for the data set 5 2 3 3 6 4 5 3 7 5 71 8 9 5.

    Enter the data into List 1. To obtain

    ADJUSTING THE VIEWING WINDOW

    When graphing functions it is important that you are able to view all the important features

    of the graph. As a general rule it is best to start with a large viewing window to make sure

    all the features of the graph are visible. You can then make the window smaller if necessary.

    The viewing window can be adjusted by pressing SHIFT F3

    (V-Window). You can manually set the minimum and maximum

    values of the x and y axes, or press F3 (STD) to obtain the

    standard viewing window 10 6 x 6 10, 10 6 y 6 10:

    FINDING POINTS OF INTERSECTION

    It is often useful to find the points of intersection of two graphs, for instance, when you are

    trying to solve simultaneous equations.

    We can solve y = 11 3x and y = 12 x2

    simultane-

    ously by finding the point of intersection of these two lines.

    Select GRAPH from the Main Menu, then store 113x intoY1 and

    12 x2

    into Y2. Press F6 (DRAW) to draw a graph

    of the functions.

    To find their point of intersection, press F5 (G-Solv) F5

    (ISCT). The solution x = 2, y = 5 is given.

    If there is more than one point of intersection, the remaining

    points of intersection can be found by pressing I .

    FINDING x-INTERCEPTS

    In the special case when you wish to solve an equation of the form f(x) = 0, this can be

    done by graphing y = f(x) and then finding when this graph cuts the x-axis.

    To solve x3 3x2 + x + 1 = 0, select GRAPH from theMain Menu and store x3 3x2 +x+1 into Y1. Press F6(DRAW) to draw the graph.

    To find where this function cuts the x-axis, press F5 (G-Solv)

    F1 (ROOT). The first solution x 0:414 is given.Press I to find the remaining solutions x = 1 and x 2:41 .

    TURNING POINTS

    To find the turning point or vertex of y = x2 + 2x+ 3, select GRAPH from the MainMenu and store x2 + 2x+ 3 into Y1. Press F6 (DRAW) to draw the graph.From the graph, it is clear that the vertex is a maximum, so to

    find the vertex press F5 (G-Solv) F2 (MAX). The vertex is

    (1, 4).

    BASIC FUNCTIONS

    GROUPING SYMBOLS (BRACKETS)

    The TI-84 Plus has bracket keys that look like ( and ) .

    Brackets are regularly used in mathematics to indicate an expression which needs to be

    evaluated before other operations are carried out.

    For example, to evaluate 2 (4 + 1) we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) ENTER .We also use brackets to make sure the calculator understands the expression we are typing in.

    For example, to evaluate 24+1 we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) ENTER .

    If we typed 2 4 + 1 ENTER the calculator would think we meant 24 + 1.In general, it is a good idea to place brackets around any complicated expressions which need

    to be evaluated separately.

    POWER KEYS

    The TI-84 Plus has a power key that looks like ^ . We type the base first, press the powerkey, then enter the index or exponent.

    For example, to evaluate 253 we type 25 ^ 3 ENTER .

    Numbers can be squared on the TI-84 Plus using the special key x2 .

    For example, to evaluate 252 we type 25 x2 ENTER .

    You can enter values in scientific notation using the EE function,

    which is accessed by pressing 2nd , .For example, to evaluate 2:610

    14

    13 , press 2:6 2nd , 14 13 ENTER . The answer is 2 1013.

    SECONDARY FUNCTION AND ALPHA KEYS

    The secondary function of each key is displayed in blue above the key. It is accessed by

    pressing the 2nd key, followed by the key corresponding to the desired secondary function.

    For example, to calculatep36, press 2nd x2 (

    p) 36 ) ENTER .

    The alpha function of each key is displayed in green above the key. It is accessed by pressing

    the ALPHA key followed by the key corresponding to the desired letter. The main purpose

    of the alpha keys is to store values into memory which can be recalled later.

    MEMORY

    Utilising the memory features of your calculator allows you to recall calculations you have

    performed previously. This not only saves time, but also enables you to maintain accuracy

    in your calculations.

    SPECIFIC STORAGE TO MEMORY

    Values can be stored into the variable letters A, B, ..., Z. Storing a value in memory is useful

    if you need that value multiple times.

    Suppose we wish to store the number 15:4829 for use in a numberof calculations.

    number, then press STOI ALPHA MATH (A) ENTER .

    We can now add 10 to this value by pressing ALPHA MATH

    + 10 ENTER , or cube this value by pressing ALPHA MATH

    ^ 3 ENTER .

    ANS VARIABLE

    The variable Ans holds the most recent evaluated expression,

    and can be used in calculations by pressing 2nd () .

    For example, suppose you evaluate 3 4, and then wish tosubtract this from 17. This can be done by pressing 17 2nd () ENTER .

    If you start an expression with an operator such as + , ,etc, the previous answer Ans is automatically inserted ahead of

    the operator. For example, the previous answer can be halved

    simply by pressing 2 ENTER .

    If you wish to view the answer in fractional form, press MATH

    1 ENTER .

    RECALLING PREVIOUS EXPRESSIONS

    The ENTRY function recalls previously evaluated expressions, and is used by pressing 2nd

    ENTER .

    This function is useful if you wish to repeat a calculation with a minor change, or if you have

    made an error in typing.

    Suppose you have evaluated 100 +p132. If you now want to evaluate 100 +

    p142, instead

    of retyping the command, it can be recalled by pressing 2nd ENTER .

    The change can then be made by moving the cursor over the 3 and changing it to a 4, then

    pressing ENTER .

    If you have made an error in your original calculation, and intended to calculate 1500+p132,

    again you can recall the previous command by pressing 2nd ENTER .

    Move the cursor to the first 0.

    You can insert the 5, rather than overwriting the 0, by pressing 2nd DEL (INS) 5 ENTER .

    LISTS

    Lists are used for a number of purposes on the calculator. They enable us to store sets of

    data, which we can then analyse and compare.

    CREATING A LIST

    Press STAT 1 to access the list editor screen.

    To enter the data f2, 5, 1, 6, 0, 8g into List 1, start by movingthe cursor to the first entry of L1. Press 2 ENTER 5 ENTER

    ...... and so on until all the data is entered.

    To graph the function y = x2 3x 5, move the cursor toY1, and press X,T,,n x2 3 X,T,,n 5 ENTER . Thisstores the function into Y1. Press GRAPH to draw a graph of

    the function.

    To view a table of values for the function, press 2nd GRAPH

    (TABLE). The starting point and interval of the table values can

    be adjusted by pressing 2nd WINDOW (TBLSET).

    ADJUSTING THE VIEWING WINDOW

    When graphing functions it is important that you are able to view all the important features

    of the graph. As a general rule it is best to start with a large viewing window to make sure

    all the features of the graph are visible. You can then make the window smaller if necessary.

    Some useful commands for adjusting the viewing window

    include:

    ZOOM 0:ZoomFit : This command scales the y-axis to

    fit the minimum and maximum val-

    ues of the displayed graph within the

    current x-axis range.

    ZOOM 6:ZStandard : This command returns the viewing

    window to the default setting of

    10 6 x 6 10, 10 6 y 6 10.If neither of these commands are helpful, the viewing window

    can be adjusted manually by pressing WINDOW and setting the

    minimum and maximum values for the x and y axes.

    FINDING POINTS OF INTERSECTION

    It is often useful to find the points of intersection of two graphs, for instance, when you are

    trying to solve simultaneous equations.

    We can solve y = 11 3x and y = 12 x2

    simultaneously

    by finding the point of intersection of these two lines.

    Press Y= , then store 11 3x into Y1 and 12 x2

    into

    Y2. Press GRAPH to draw a graph of the functions.

    To find their point of intersection, press 2nd TRACE (CALC)

    5:intersect. Press ENTER twice to specify the functions Y1

    and Y2 as the functions you want to find the intersection of,

    then use the arrow keys to move the cursor close to the point of

    intersection and press ENTER once more.

    The solution x = 2, y = 5 is given.

    FINDING x-INTERCEPTS

    In the special case when you wish to solve an equation of the form f(x) = 0, this can be

    done by graphing y = f(x) and then finding when this graph cuts the x-axis.

    For example, to solve x3 3x2 + x + 1 = 0, press Y= andstore x3 3x2 + x+ 1 into Y1. Then press GRAPH .

    To find where this function first cuts the x-axis, press 2nd

    TRACE (CALC) 2:zero. Move the cursor to the left of the first

    zero and press ENTER , then move the cursor to the right of

    the first zero and press ENTER . Finally, move the cursor close

    to the first zero and press ENTER once more. The solution

    x 0:414 is given.

    Repeat this process to find the remaining solutions x = 1 andx 2:414 .

    TURNING POINTS

    To find the turning point or vertex of y = x2+2x+3, pressY= and store x2+2x+3 into Y1. Press GRAPH to draw

    the graph.

    From the graph, it is clear that the vertex is a maximum, so press

    2nd TRACE (CALC) 4:maximum.

    Move the cursor to the left of the vertex and press ENTER , then

    move the cursor to the right of the vertex and press ENTER .

    Finally, move the cursor close to the vertex and press ENTER

    once more. The vertex is (1, 4).

    FINDING THE TANGENT TO A FUNCTION

    To find the equation of the tangent to y = x2 when x = 2, we

    first draw the graph of y = x2. Press 2nd PRGM (DRAW)

    5:Tangent, then press 2 ENTER to draw the tangent at

    x = 2.

    The tangent has gradient 4, and equation y = 4x 4.

    GETTING STARTED

    Pressing takes you to the home screen, where you can choose which application you

    wish to use.

    The TI-nspire organises any work done into pages. Every time you start a new application,

    a new page is created. You can navigate back and forth between the pages you have worked

    on by pressing ctrl J or ctrl I

    From the home screen, press 1 to open the Calculator application. This is where most of the

    basic calculations are performed.

    SECONDARY FUNCTION KEY

    The secondary function of each key is displayed in grey above the primary function. It is

    accessed by pressing the ctrl key followed by the key corresponding to the desired secondary

    function.

    BASIC FUNCTIONS

    GROUPING SYMBOLS (BRACKETS)

    The TI-nspire has bracket keys that look like ( and ) .

    Brackets are regularly used in mathematics to indicate an expression which needs to be

    evaluated before other operations are carried out.

    For example, to evaluate 2 (4 + 1) we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) enter .We also use brackets to make sure the calculator understands the expression we are typing in.

    For example, to evaluate 24+1 we type 2 ( 4 + 1 ) enter .

    If we typed 2 4 + 1 enter the calculator would think we meant 24 + 1.In general, it is a good idea to place brackets around any complicated expressions which need

    to be evaluated separately.

    POWER KEYS

    The TI-nspire has a power key that looks like ^ . We type the base first, press the powerkey, then enter the index or exponent.

    For example, to evaluate 253 we type 25 ^ 3 enter .

    Numbers can be squared on the TI-nspire using the special key x2 .

    For example, to evaluate 252 we type 25 x2 enter .

    by pressing ctrl () .For example, suppose you evaluate 3 4, and then wish to subtract this from 17. This canbe done by pressing 17 ctrl () enter .

    If you start an expression with an operator such as + , , etc, the previous answer Ansis automatically inserted ahead of the operator. For example, the previous answer can be

    doubled simply by pressing 2 enter .

    RECALLING PREVIOUS EXPRESSIONS

    Pressing the N key allows you to recall and edit previously evaluated expressions.

    To recall a previous expression, press the N key until the desired expression is highlighted,

    and press enter . The expression then appears in the current entry line, where it can be

    edited.

    LISTS

    Lists are used for a number of purposes on the calculator. They enable us to store sets of

    data, which we can then analyse and compare.

    In order to perform many of the operations involving data lists on the TI-nspire, you need to

    name your lists as you define them.

    CREATING A LIST

    Selecting 3 : Lists & Spreadsheet from the home screen

    takes you to the list editor screen.

    To enter the data f2, 5, 1, 6, 0, 8g into List A, startby moving the cursor to the first entry of List A. Press

    2 enter 5 enter ...... and so on until all the data is

    entered.

    Move the cursor to the heading of List A and use the

    green alphabet keys to enter a name for the list, for

    example data.

    DELETING LIST DATA

    To delete a list of data from the list editor screen, move the cursor to the heading of that list,

    and press N to highlight the whole column. Press J to delete the list.

    REFERENCING LISTS

    Once you have named a list, you can use that name to

    reference the list in other operations.

    Suppose you want to add 2 to each element of the data listwe created in the above example, and display the results

    in List B. Move the cursor to the shaded row of List B,

    and press = data + 2 enter .

    STATISTICS

    Your graphics calculator is a useful tool for analysing data and creating statistical graphs.

    We will first produce descriptive statistics and graphs for the data set:

    5 2 3 3 6 4 5 3 7 5 7 1 8 9 5:

    Enter the data into and name this list .List A one

    containing the list of data.

    Enter the set 9 6 2 3 5 5 7 5 6 7 6 3 4 4 5 8 4 intoList B, and name the list two.

    Use the ctrl I command to navigate back to the page

    containing the boxplot of one.

    To view boxplots of both data sets, we need to split the

    page into two sections. Press ctrl , then select

    press menu , then select 5 : Statistics > 1 : Statistical Calculations > 1 : One-Variable

    Statistics.

    Press enter to choose

    1 list. Select one from

    the X1 List drop-box,

    and press enter .

    To obtain a vertical bar

    chart of the data, press

    menu , then select

    1 : Plot Type >...

    3 : Histogram.

    To obtain a boxplot of

    the data, press menu ,

    ADJUSTING THE VIEWING WINDOW

    When graphing functions it is important that you are able to view all the important features

    of the graph. As a general rule it is best to start with a large viewing window to make sure

    all the features of the graph are visible. You can then make the window smaller if necessary.

    To adjust the viewing window, press menu then select 4 : Window . The most useful

    options are:

    1 : Window Settings : With this option you can set

    the minimum and maximum values for the x and y axes

    manually.

    5 : Zoom-Standard : This option returns the viewing

    window to the default setting of 10 6 x 6 10,203 6 y 6 203 .A : Zoom-Fit : This option scales the y-axis to fit the

    minimum and maximum values of the displayed graph
