MAIN TOPIC: Revision of first term works
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Revise the topics they have been taught in S.S 1

CONTENT: SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS-ONE LINEAR, ONE QUADRATIC

Example 1: Solve the equations
3x + 2y = 12 .................(i)
xy + 5y = 21 .................(ii)

Solution
From equation (i), make y the subject
3x + 2y = 12
2y = 12 – 3x

Y = [sup]12 – 3x[/sup] /[sub]2[/sub]

Substitute [sup]12 – 3x[/sup]/[sub]2 [/sub] for y in equation (ii)

[sup]x(12 – 3x)[/sup] /[sub]2[/sub] + 5

12 – 3x[sup]2 [/sup] = 21

[sup]12x – 3x[sup]2[/sup][/sup] /[sub]2[/sub] + [sup]60 – 15x[/sup] /[sub] 2[/sub] = 21

12x – 3x[sup]2[/sup] + 60 – 15x = 42

-3x[sup]2[/sup] – 3x + 18 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation in x

-3x[sup]2[/sup] – 3x + 18 = 0

-3x[sup]2[/sup] -9x + 6x + 18 = 0

- (3x[sup]2[/sup] + 9x) + (6x + 18) = 0

- 3x (x + 3) + 6(x + 3) = 0

(x + 3) (-3x + 6) = 0

X = -3 or 2

Substitute for x in equation (i)
3x + 2y = 12
When x = -3
3(-3) + 2y = 12
-9 + 2y = 12
2y = 12 +9
2y = 21

Y =[sup] 21[/sup]/[sub]2[/sub]

When x = 2
3(2) + 2y = 12
6 + 2y = 12
2y = 12 – 6
2y = 6
Y = 3

Therefore, x =-3, y = [sup]21[/sup]/[sub]2[/sub] or x = 2, y = 3

SPECIFIC TOPIC: TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on trigonometric ratios
CONTENT
TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS
DEFINITIONS
Any two right-angled triangles which contain an acute angle θ are similar triangles. Hence the corresponding ratios of the sides of the triangles are equal and are called trigonometric (or trig.) ratios of the angle θ.
Let ABC be right-angled triangle in figure below such that AB = c, BC = a and AC = b.
https://youtu.be/9-eHMMpQC2k

The longest side AB is called the hypotenuse, of the triangle. BC is called the opposite side to angle θ while AC is called the adjacent side to angle θ
The three basic trig. ratios are Sine, Cosine and Tangent (abbreviated respectively as sin, cos and tan) and are defined as
Sin θ = opposite/Hypotenuse = a/c
Cos θ = adjacent/Hypotenuse = b/c
Tan θ = opposite/Adjacent = a/b

The reciprocals of the three basic trig. ratios are also trig. ratios defined as

Cosecant 1/sine, Secant = 1/cosine and Cotangent = 1/Tangent

They are abbreviated, respectively, as:
Cosec, Sec, and Cot. Therefore using figure above
Cosecθ = 1/sinθ = Hypotenuse/Opposite = c/a
Secθ = 1/cosθ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent = c/b
Cot θ = 1/Tanθ = Adjacent/Opposite = b/a

Example 1: Find from mathematical tables, the angle θ0 such that

(a) Sinθ[sup]0[/sup] = 0.8043

(b) Cosθ[sup]0[/sup]= 0.1142

(c) Tanθ[sup]0[/sup]= 0.3907

Solution

(a) θ[sup]0[/sup] = 53.540

(b) θ[sup]0[/sup] = 83.440

(c) θ[sup]0[/sup] = 21.340

https://youtu.be/mhd9FXYdf4s

EVALUATION:
Find from mathematical tables, the angle θ0 such that
(a) Sinθ0 = 0.6745
(b) Cosθ 0= 0.3754
(c) Tanθ 0= 0.1864

ASSIGNMENT: Find from mathematical tables, the angle θ0 such that
(a) Sinθ0 = 0.5603
(b) Cosθ 0= 0.5671
(c) Tanθ 0= 0.1476





SPECIFIC TOPIC: PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on Pythagoras theorem

CONTENT: PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
In right angle triangle, the side that faces the right-angle (i.e angle 900) is the hypotenuse side. The relationship between this hypotenuse side and the remaining two sides is what the Pythagoras theorem is all about.

https://youtu.be/JH9V3bWA1T0

Thus, if squares are drawn on all the sides of the right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares on the two sides containing the right-angle equals the squares of the hypotenuse side alone.

So a[sup]2[/sup] + b[sup]2[/sup] = c[sup]2[/sup]

The equation is used to solve for any one side in right-angle triangle when the other two sides are given. Sometimes the equation above can be manipulated in various ways depending on the question to be solved.

MAIN TOPIC: GRADIENT OF A GIVEN CURVE FROM A TANGENT
SPECIFIC TOPIC: GRADIENT OF A STRAIGHT LINE
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: Calculate the gradient of a straight line

Gradient of a given curve from a tangent:
- Introduction to differentiation
- Differentiation from first principles
- General rules of differentiation.

Consider the curve whose equation is given by y = f(x)

Recall that m = y[sup]2[/sup]

Recall that m = y[sup]2[/sup] – y[sup]1[/sup]/[sub]X[sup]2[/sup]- X[sup]1[/sup][/sub] = [sup]f(x + ∂x) – f(∂x)[/sup]/[sub] ∂x[/sub]


As point B moves close to A, ∂x becomes smaller and tends to zero.

The limiting value is written on Lim [sup]f(x +∂x) – f(x)[/sup]/[sub]∂x[/sub] and is denoted by as ∂x – 30

F(x) is called the derivative of f(x).

The process of finding the derivative of f(x) is called differentiation. The rotations which are commonly used for the derivative of a function are f1(x) read as f – prime of x df/dx read as dee dee x of f
df/dx read dee – f – dee x dy/dx read dee – y – dee x
If y = f(x) , this dy/dx = f1(x)
Differentiation from first principle; The process of finding the derivative of a function from the consideration of the limiting value is called differentiation from first principle.

REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on differentiation of function

CONTENT: DIFFERENTIATION OF FUNCTIONS

Derivative of a function is positive over the range where it is increasing and negative where it is decreasing.

Example 1: Find the range of values of x for which the function 2x[sup]3[/sup] + 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 12x + 5 is increasing.
Solution
Let y = 2x[sup]3[/sup] + 3x[sup]2 [/sup]– 12x + 5

Then [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 6x[sup]2[/sup] + 6x – 12

= 6(x2 + x -2)

= 6(x + 2)(x – 1)

The function is increasing when dy/dx > 0

(x + 2)(x – 1) > 0 when x >1 or when x < -2.

So the function is increasing when x > 1 or when x < -2

But function is decreasing when dy/dx < 0

OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Differentiate function in its stationary point
CONTENT: STATIONARY POINTS

A point on a curve at which [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 is called a stationary point.

And the value of the function represented by the curve at that point is called its stationary value.

At such points the tangent is parallel to the x- axis. To find the stationary points let [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 and solve the resulting equation.

Example 1: Find the stationary points of the function 4x3 + 15x2 – 18x + 7
Solution
For this function f’(x) = 12x2 + 30x1 – 18
= 6(2x2 + 5x – 3)
=6(2x – 1)(x + 3)
Hence f’(x) = 0 when x = ½ or -3
The function has two stationary points and its stationary values (at these points) are 9/4 and 88.

SPECIFIC TOPIC: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM POINT
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on the points
CONTENT: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM POINTS

Example 1: Find the stationary points of y = 4x[sup]3 [/sup]– 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 6x + 1 and distinguish between them
Solution

[sup]Dy[/sup]/[sub]dx [/sub]= 12x[sup]2[/sup] – 6x – 6

= 6(2x2 – x – 1)

= 6(2x + 1)(x – 1)

So [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 when x = 1 or – ½ . Hence there are two stationary points.

At point x = - ½
= 4(- ½ )3 – 3(- ½ )2 – 6( - ½ ) + 1
= 2 ¾
At point x = 1
= 4(1)3 – 3(1)2 – 6(1) + 1
Y = - 4
Hence at x = - ½ is maximum and ta x = 1 is minimum

1b. In diagram below, solve for the value of /SR/

Image

SOLUTION

From the diagram/SR/ = /SQ/ - /RQ/

In triangle PQR: /PQ/[sup]2[/sup] + /RQ/[sup]2[/sup] = /PR/[sup]2[/sup] (Pythagoras theorem)

/PQ/[sup]2[/sup] + 5[sup]2[/sup] = 13[sup]2[/sup]

= 169 – 25

= 144

/PQ/ = Square Root of 144
/PQ/ = 12

From triangle PQS: /PQ/[sup]2[/sup] + /SQ/[sup]2[/sup] = /PS/[sup]2[/sup]

122 + /SQ/[sup]2[/sup] = 152

144 + /SQ/[sup]2[/sup] = 225

/SQ/[sup]2[/sup] = 225 - 144

/SQ/[sup]2[/sup] = 81

/SQ/ = Square Root of 81

/SQ/ = 9

Then /SR/ = /SQ/ - /RQ/

= 9 – 5

MAIN TOPIC: COSINE AND SINE RULE AND THIER APPLICATIONS
SPECIFIC TOPIC: SINE RULE
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using sine rule

CONTENT: SINE RULE
The basic thing about the sine formula is that the sides are proportional to the sines of the opposite angles to them. Two different cases will be examined to derive the sine formula. These are:
(a) Acute- angled triangle
(b) Obtuse – angled triangle

https://youtu.be/41LLgdIAf1o

(a) Sine formula from acute – angled triangle:
Image

From the ABC, draw a perpendicular AD to BC
In ABC: sin B = AD/C
AD = C Sin B .................................................................................. (1)

In ACD: sin C = AD/b
AD = bsin C ................................................................................... (2)

Equating (1) and (2)
CsinB = b sinC
Sin B/SinC = b/c sin B/b = sinC/c

Similarly sin A/ Sin b sin A/a = sin B/b
And sinA/sinC = a/c sinA/a = sinC/c

The three deductions are therefore combined as
SinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
Or a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC

(b) Sine formula from obtuse-angled triangle;
Image

From the ABC, draw a perpendicular AD to BC produced.
Angles ACB and ACD are supplementary
AD = c sinB .............................................. (I)

In ACD
AD = bsinC ............................................... (II)

From the above:
Sin ACD = sin ACB = sin C

From (i) and (ii)
CsinB = bsinC
b/c = sinB/sinC

Similarly a/b = sin A /sin B
And
a/c = sinA/sinC

Combining the result:
Then sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c

The above formula is used to solve problems connected with any triangle where most especially either.
(i) Two angles (in other words, all the three angles) and one side are known.
(ii) Two (or non-included angle) are given.

SPECIFIC TOPIC: APPLICATION OF SINE RULE
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using application of sine rule
CONTENT: APPLICATION OF SINE RULE
Example 1: In triangle ABC, A = 540 , B = 670 , a = 13.9m. Find b and c
Solution
Image

ACB = 180[sup]0[/sup] - (54 + 67) = 59[sup]0[/sup]

Using sine formula
a/sinA = b/sinB

Then 13.9/sin54 = b/sin67

Cross multiplying

b = 13.9 x sin67[sup]0[/sup] = 13.9 x 0.9205

sin 54[sup]0[/sup] 0.8090
= 15.82
= 15.8m

To find c

Angle C = 180 – (67 + 54)[sup]0[/sup] angles in a triangle = 59[sup]0[/sup]

Using sine formula
a/sinA = c/sinC

13.9/sin 54[sup]0[/sup] = c/sin 59[sup]0[/sup]

Cross multiplying: c = 13.9m x sin59[sup]0[/sup]

0.8090
= 14.73
= 14.7m
https://youtu.be/CPjB_z7PZt0

EVALUATION:
In triangle PQR, R = 530 ,q = 3.6m, r = 4.3m. Find Q

ASSIGNMENT:
In triangle ABC, if

(i) A = 38[sup]0[/sup], B = 27[sup]0[/sup] , b = 17m. Find a and c

(ii) B = 36[sup]0[/sup] , A = 88[sup]0[/sup] , a = 9.5cm. Find b and c




SPECIFIC TOPIC: COSINE RULE
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using the application of sine rule

CONTENT: COSINE RULE
The cosine formula, just like sine formula is used to solve for the unknowns in a triangle.
The cosine formula is especially used to solve triangles with the following dimension:
(i) Two sides with the angle between them given.
(ii) Three sides of the triangle are given.
Two cases of proving the cosine formula shall be considered as follows:
(a) Acute – angled triangle
(b) Obtuse – angled triangle.
Image

Let BD = x
From figure above CD = a –x

In triangle ABC, AD[sup]2[/sup] = AB[sup]2[/sup] – BD[sup]2[/sup] (Pythagoras theorem)

= c[sup]2[/sup] – x[sup]2[/sup] .......................................... (i)

In triangle ACD, AD[sup]2[/sup] = AC[sup]2[/sup] – CD[sup]2[/sup] (Pythagoras theorem)

From figure above = b2 – (a – x)2 .................................... (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)

B[sup]2[/sup] – (a – x)[sup]2[/sup] = c[sup]2[/sup] – x[sup]2[/sup]

B[sup]2[/sup] – a[sup]2[/sup] + 2ax – x[sup]2[/sup] = c[sup]2[/sup] – x[sup]2[/sup]

Then 2ax = a[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] –b[sup]2[/sup] ................................... (iii)

But from ABD
Cos B = x/c
X = c CosB
Substituting for x in equation (iii)

2ac Cos B = a[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] – b[sup]2[/sup]

Therefore, cosB = [sup]a[sup]2[/sup] + b[sup]2[/sup] – c[sup]2[/sup][/sup]/[sub]2ac[/sub]

Similarly, cos C = [sup]a[sup]2[/sup] + b[sup]2[/sup] – c[sup]2[/sup][/sup]/[sub]2ab[/sub]

CosA = [sup]b[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] – a[sup]2[/sup][/sup]/[sub]2bc[/sub]

The above formulae are suitable for calculating various angles. The formulae may then be transformed, through change of subject of formula to derive the process of calculating the various sides as follows.

a[sup]2[/sup] = b[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] – 2bc Cos A

b[sup]2[/sup] = a[sup]2 [/sup]+ c[sup]2[/sup] - 2ac Cos B

c[sup]2[/sup] = a[sup]2[/sup] + b[sup]2[/sup] – 2ab Cos C

Using Cos A = [sup]b[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] – a[sup]2[/sup][/sup]/[sub]2bc[/sub]

= [sup]11[sup]2[/sup] + 9[sup]2[/sup] - 12[sup]2[/sup][/sup]/ [sub]2 x 11 x 9[/sub]

= [sup]121 + 81 - 144 [/sup]/ [sub]198[/sub]

= [sup]58[/sup]/[sub]198[/sub]

= 0.2929

Therefore A = 72[sup]0[/sup] 58’

Cos B = [sup]a[sup]2[/sup] + c[sup]2[/sup] – b[sup]2[/sup][/sup] / [sub]2ac[/sub]

= [sup]122 + 92 -112[/sup] /[sub] 2 x 12 x 9[/sub]

= [sup]144 + 81 – 112[/sup] /[sub] 216[/sub]

= [sup]104[/sup]/[sub]216[/sub]

= 0.4815

Cos C = [sup]a[sup]2[/sup] + b[sup]2[/sup] – c[sup]2[/sup][/sup] / [sub]2ab[/sub]

= [sup]12[sup]2[/sup] + 11[sup]2[/sup] - 9[sup]2[/sup][/sup] / [sub]2 x 12 x 11[/sub]

SPECIFIC TOPIC: BEARING AND DISTANCES
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on bearing and distance

CONTENT: BEARING AND DISTANCES
Suppose that two points(or objects) X and Y lie on the same horizontal plane. The bearing of Y from X is the position or direction of Y with reference to X, the reference point. The bearing of Y from X is measured as the size of the angle the line XY makes with North or South direction at X.
There are two conventions for describing bearings. One convention describes the bearing of Y from X as the angle which the line XY makes with the North direction at X measured in the clockwise direction from the North at X.
https://youtu.be/g_V-4N5gxyw

https://youtu.be/oaq8ofHHrvg

Such a bearing is
Image
Fig. a
Written with 3 digits. If the bearing is less than 100 , then we write two zeros (00), to precede the angle, e.g. 0050. If the bearing lies between 100 and 1000, and 10 is inclusive, then we write 0 to precede angle. Thus for example, if the angle is 600, then the bearing is 0600, as shown in fig.a above.
The second convention is to describe the bearing of Y from X as the acute angle which the line XY makes Eastwards or Westwards with the North or South direction at X.
https://youtu.be/juS4EPj3mOI

Thus, in figure above, the bearing of Y from X is North 60[sup]0[/sup] East (or N60[sup]0[/sup]E).

Solution

Illustrates the relative positions of A, B and C. Note that ABC is a right – angled triangle, where angle ABC = 15[sup]0[/sup] + 75[sup]0[/sup] = 90[sup]0[/sup].

Therefore, tanθ = BC/AB = 6/4 = 1.5

In the diagram, X is the starting position, XY = 6km on bearing 065[sup]0[/sup]. (the alternate angle between south and west inside XYZ ie a = 65[sup]0[/sup] ).

Also, YZ = 13km on a bearing of 1360, b = 180[sup]0[/sup] - 1360 = 44[sup]0[/sup] as indicated.

By cosine formula, XZ will be calculated.

a= 650 (alternate angles)

b= 180[sup]0[/sup] - 136[sup]0[/sup] (sum of angles on a straight line)
= 440
XYZ = a + b
= 650 + 440
= 1090
Let XZ = ykm

Using Cosine rule

Y[sup]2[/sup] = x[sup]2[/sup] + z[sup]2[/sup] – 2xz Cos Y

Y2 = 132 + 62 – 2 x 13 x 6 cos 1090

Y2 = 169 + 36 – 156 x –cos71

Y2 = 205 + 156 x 0.3256

Y2 = 205 + 50.79

Y2 = 255.79

Y = 255.79

Y = 15.99km

Y = 16km (to the nearest km)

To find the bearing of Z from X
We need to find the value of θ first by using sine formula.
x/sinX = y/sinY
13/Sinθ = 15.99/sin 1090
Sinθ = 13 sin 1090
15.99
Sinθ = 13 x 0.9455
15.99
= 12.2915
15.99
Sinθ = 0.7687
θ= sin -1 (0.7687)
θ= 50.240.
The bearing of Z from X is the sum of the bearing of Y from X and the value of Q
i.e 650 + 50.240
= 115.240

= 115[sup]0[/sup] ( to the nearest degree)

Y2 = 205 + 50.79
Y2 = 255.79
Y = 255.79
Y = 15.99km
Y = 16km (to the nearest km)
To find the bearing of Z from X
We need to find the value of θ first by using sine forfula.
