CHAPTER 4: MATHEMATICAL REASONING (a) Statement A mathematical sentence which is either true or false but not both. 3+4=7 32 = 6 x+5=8 A true statement A false statement Not a statement because it is not known whether it is true or false.
(b)
Implication If a, then b a antecedent b consequent If x is an even number, then x is divisible by two Antecedent: Consequent: x is an even number x is divisible by two.
p if and only if q can be written in two implications: 1. If p, then q 2. If q, then p x + 2 = 5 if and only if x = 3 1. If x + 2 = 5, then x = 3 2. If x = 3, then x + 2 = 5
(c)
Argument Three types of argument: Type I Premise 1: All A are B Premise 2 : C is A Conclusion: C is B Type II Premise 1: If A, then B Premise 2: A is true Conclusion: B is true. Type III Premise 1: If A, then B Premise 2: Not B is true. Conclusion: Not A is true.
INDUCTION: Make a general conclusion by induction for the numerical sequence: 7 = 6(1)2 + 1 25 = 6(2)2 + 1 55 = 6(3)2 + 1 97 = 6(4)2 + 1 . 6(n)2 + 1, n = 1, 2, 3, .

Class, Modal Class, Class Interval Size, Midpoint, Cumulative frequency, Ogive Example : The table below shows the time taken by 80 students to type a document. For the class 10 14 : Lower limit = 10 min Upper limit = 14 min Time (min) Frequency Lower boundary = 9.5 min Upper boundary = 14.5 min 10-14 1 Class interval size = Upper 15-19 7 boundary lower boundary 20-24 12 25-29 21 = 14.5 9.5 = 5 min 30-34 19 Modal class = 25 29 min 35-39 12 Midpoint of modal class 40-44 6 45-49 2 =

Ogive To draw an ogive, a table of upper boundary and cumulative frequency has to be constructed. Time (min) 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 Frequency 0 1 7 12 21 19 12 6 2 Upper boundary 9.5 14.5 19.5 24.5 29.5 34.5 39.5 44.5 49.5 Cumulative frequency 0 1 8 20 41 60 72 78 80
From the ogive : Median = 29.5 min First quartile = 24. 5 min Third quartile = 34 min Interquartile range = 34 24. 5 = 9.5 min.

CHAPTER 10: ANGLE OF ELEVATION AND DEPRESSION Angle of Elevation The angle of elevation is the angle betweeen the horizontal line drawn from the eye of an observer and the line joining the eye of the observer to an object which is higher than the observer. The angle of elevation of B from A is BAC
Angle of Depression The angle of depression is the angle between the horizontal line from the eye of the observer an the line joining the eye of the observer to an object which is lower than the observer. The angle of depression of B from A is BAC.
CHAPTER 11: LINES AND PLANES Angle Between a Line and a Plane In the diagram, BC is the normal line to the plane PQRS. AB is the orthogonal projection of the line AC to the plane PQRS. The angle between the line AC and the plane PQRS is BAC
Angle Between Two Planes In the diagram, The plane PQRS and the plane TURS intersects at the line RS. MN and KN are any two lines drawn on each plane which are perpendicular to RS and intersect at the point N. The angle between the plane PQRS and the plane TURS is MNK.
