WEEK TWO
BINARY NUMBERS
Numbers in base two are called binary numbers at is made up two digit is 0 and 1
Converting base 10 numbers to base two number
We do this by dividing the base ten number repeatedly by 2, writing down the remainder until we get to zero and reading the
remainder upwards.
Example: (a) Write 810 to a number in base two
b) Express 85 in a binary number
c) Convert 10710 to a number in the base two
d) Convert 152ten to a number in base two
e) Convert 3/8ten to a binary fraction (bicimal)
f) Express 15.12510 in binary notation

Generating statement
The following symbols are generally used in mathematics
1. “=” means is equal to”
Example: 13 – 6 = 7 means thirteen minus six is equal to seven
2. “>” means is greater than”
Example: 18 > 10 means eighteen is greater than ten”
3. “<” means is less than”
Example: -10 < 2 mean negative ten is less than two
4. “ ≅ ” means is approximately equal to”
22 22
Example: is approximately equal to 3.142 that is ≅ 3.14

(a) The mean (b) the range (c) make a comment why the range in this case is not good to measure the spread.

SOLUTION

a) Mean =
∑ of values = 42+ 44+50+ 40+54+ 48+10+88
No of values 8
Mean = 48
b) Range = 88 – 10
= 78
c) The two extreme values i.e. 10 and 88 affects the range, so at it not a good measure of spread in this particular case.

Simultaneous linear Equations

These are equations such as 4 x – y = 8 and 3 x – y = 6

Graphical Method

To solve simultaneous equations graphically

 Make a table of values for both equations

 Draw the graphs of both equations on the same axes
 Find the coordinate where both graph interest. This values ( x− y ) are the solutions of both axes

Examples: Solve the following simultaneous equations graphically (a) x−2 y=4 and 2 x− y=5 (b) 2 x− y=10 and

4 x−2 y=4 r
