Preface This textbook has been written for students in Years 11 and 12 taking the course previously known as ‘3 Unit Mathematics’, but renamed in the new HSC as two courses, ‘Mathematics’ (previously called ‘2 Unit Mathematics’) and ‘Mathemat- ics, Extension 1’. The book develops the content at the level required for the 2 and 3 Unit HSC examinations. There are two volumes — the present volume is roughly intended for Year 11, and the second for Year 12. Schools will, however, differ in their choices of order of topics and in their rates of progress. Although these Syllabuses have not been rewritten for the new HSC, there has been a gradual shift of emphasis in recent examination papers. • The interdependence of the course content has been emphasised. • Graphs have been used much more freely in argument. • Structured problem solving has been expanded. • There has been more stress on explanation and proof. This text addresses these new emphases, and the exercises contain a wide variety of di fferent types of questions. There is an abundance of questions in each exercise — too many for any one student — carefully grouped in three graded sets, so that with proper selection the book can be used at all levels of ability. In particular, those who subse- quently drop to 2 Units of Mathematics, and those who in Year 12 take 4 Units of Mathematics, will both find an appropriate level of challenge. We have written a separate book, also in two volumes, for the 2 Unit ‘Mathematics’ course alone. We would like to thank our colleagues at Sydney Grammar School and Newington College for their invaluable help in advising us and commenting on the successive drafts, and for their patience in the face of some di fficulties in earlier drafts. We would also like to thank the Head Masters of Sydney Grammar School and Newington College for their encouragement of this pro ject, and Peter Cribb and the team at Cambridge University Press, Melbourne, for their support and help in discussions. Finally, our thanks go to our families for encouraging us, despite the distractions it has caused to family life. Preface to the enhanced version To provide students with practice for the new ob jective response (multiple choice) questions to be included in HSC examinations, online self-marking quizzes have been provided for each chapter, on Cambridge GO (access details can be found in the following pages). In addition, an interactive textbook version is available through the same website.

How to Use This Book This book has been written so that it is suitable for the full range of 3 Unit students, whatever their abilities and ambitions. The book covers the 2 Unit and 3 Unit content without distinction, because 3 Unit students need to study the 2 Unit content in more depth than is possible in a 2 Unit text. Nevertheless, students who subsequently move to the 2 Unit course should find plenty of work here at a level appropriate for them. The Exercises: No-one should try to do all the questions! We have written long exercises so that everyone will find enough questions of a suitable standard — each student will need to select from them, and there should be plenty left for revision. The book provides a great variety of questions, and representatives of all types should be selected. Each chapter is divided into a number of sections. Each of these sections has its own substantial exercise, subdivided into three groups of questions: Foundation: These questions are intended to drill the new content of the sec- tion at a reasonably straightforward level. There is little point in proceeding without mastery of this group. Development: This group is usually the longest. It contains more substantial questions, questions requiring proof or explanation, problems where the new content can be applied, and problems involving content from other sections and chapters to put the new ideas in a wider context. Later questions here can be very demanding, and Groups 1 and 2 should be su fficient to meet the demands of all but exceptionally di fficult problems in 3 Unit HSC papers. Extension: These questions are quite hard. Some are algebraically challeng- ing, some establish a general result beyond the theory of the course, some make di fficult connections between topics or give an alternative approach, some deal with logical problems unsuitable for the text of a 3 Unit book. Students taking the 4 Unit course should attempt some of these. The Theory and the Worked Exercises: The theory has been developed with as much rigour as is appropriate at school, even for those taking the 4 Unit course. This leaves students and their teachers free to choose how thoroughly the theory is presented in a particular class. It can often be helpful to learn a method first and then return to the details of the proof and explanation when the point of it all has become clear. The main formulae, methods, definitions and results have been boxed and num- bered consecutively through each chapter. They provide a summary only, and represent an absolute minimum of what should be known.

! ! How to Use This Book xi have been chosen to illustrate the new methods introduced in the section, and should be su fficient preparation for the questions of the following exercise. The Order of the Topics: We have presented the topics in the order we have found most satisfactory in our own teaching. There are, however, many e ffective or- derings of the topics, and the book allows all the flexibility needed in the many different situations that apply in di fferent schools (apart from the few questions that provide links between topics). The time needed for the algebra in Chapter One will depend on students’ expe- riences in Years 9 and 10. The same applies to other topics in the early chapters —trigonometry,quadraticfunctions,coordinategeometryandparticularlycurve sketching. The Study Notes at the start of each chapter make further specific remarks about each topic. We h a v e l e f t E u c l i d e a n g e o m e t r y a n d p o l y n o m i a l s u n t i l Ye a r 1 2 f o r t w o r e a s o n s . First, we believe as much calculus as possible should be developed in Year 11, ideally including the logarithmic and exponential functions and the trigonometric functions. These are the fundamental ideas in the course, and it is best if Year 12 is used then to consolidate and extend them (and students subsequently taking the 4 Unit course particularly need this material early). Secondly, the Years 9 and 10 Advanced Course already develops much of the work on polynomials and Euclidean geometry in Options recommended for those proceeding to 3 Unit, so that revisiting them in Year 12 with the extensions and far greater sophistication required seems an ideal arrangement. The Structure of the Course: Recent examination papers have included longer ques- tions combining ideas from di fferent topics, thus making clear the strong inter- connections amongst the various topics. Calculus is the backbone of the course, and the two processes of di fferentiation and integration, inverses of each other, dominate most of the topics. We have introduced both processes using geomet- rical ideas, basing di fferentiation on tangents and integration on areas, but the subsequent discussions, applications and exercises give many other ways of un- derstanding them. For example, questions about rates are prominent from an early stage. Besides linear functions, three groups of functions dominate the course: The Quadratic Functions: These functions are known from earlier years. They are algebraic representations of the parabola, and arise naturally in situations where areas are being considered or where a constant acceleration is being applied. They can be studied without calculus, but calculus provides an alternative and sometimes quicker approach. The Exponential and Logarithmic Functions: Calculus is essential for the study of these functions. We have chosen to introduce the logarithmic function first, using definite integrals of the reciprocal function y=1 /x .This approach is more satisfying because it makes clear the relationship between these functions and the rectangular hyperbola y=1 /x , and because it gives aclearpictureofthenewnumber e. It is also more rigorous. Later, however, one can never overemphasise the fundamental property that the exponential function with base eis its own derivative — this is the reason why these func- tions are essential for the study of natural growth and decay, and therefore occur in almost every application of mathematics.

! ! xii How to Use This Book Arithmetic and geometric sequences arise naturally throughout the course. They are the values, respectively, of linear and exponential functions at in- tegers, and these interrelationships need to be developed, particularly in the context of applications to finance. The Trigonometric Functions: Again, calculus is essential for the study of these functions, whose definition, like the associated definition of π,is based on the circle. The graphs of the sine and cosine functions are waves, and they are essential for the study of all periodic phenomena — hence the detailed study of simple harmonic motion in Year 12. Thus the three basic functions of the course — x2,exand sin x—andtherelated numb ers eand π are developed from the three most basic degree 2 curves — the parabola, the rectangular hyperbola and the circle. In this way, everything in the course, whether in calculus, geometry, trigonometry, coordinate geometry or algebra, is easily related to everything else. The geometry of the circle is mostly studied using Euclidean methods, and the highly structured arguments used here contrast with the algebraic arguments used in the coordinate geometry approach to the parabola. In the 4 Unit course, the geometry of the rectangular hyperbola is given special consideration in the context of a coordinate geometry treatment of general conics. Polynomials are a generalisation of quadratics, and move the course a little be- yond the degree 2 phenomena describ ed ab ove. The particular case of the bi- nomial theorem then becomes the bridge from elementary probability using tree diagrams to the binomial distribution with all its practical applications. Unfor- tunately the power series that link polynomials with the exponential and trigono- metric functions are too sophisticated for a school course. Pro jective geometry and calculus with complex numbers are even further removed, so it is not really possible to explain that exponential and trigonometric functions are the same thing, although there are many clues. Algebra, Graphs and Language: One of the chief purposes of the course, stressed in recent examinations, is to encourage arguments that relate a curve to its equation. Being able to predict the behaviour of a curve given only its equation is a constant concern of the exercises. Conversely, the behaviour of a graph can often be used to solve an algebraic problem. We have drawn as many sketches in the book as space allowed, but as a matter of routine, students should draw diagrams for almost every problem they attempt. It is because sketches can so easily be drawn that this type of mathematics is so satisfactory for study at school. This course is intended to develop simultaneously algebraic agility, geometric intuition, and rigorous language and logic.

! ! How to Use This Book xiii display elegant and error-free algebra, diagrams to display the situation, and clarity of language and logic in argument. Theory and Applications: Elegance of argument and perfection of structure are fun- damental in mathematics. We have kept to these values as far as is reasonable in the development of the theory and in the exercises. The application of mathe- matics to the world around us is an equally fundamental, and we have given many examples of the usefulness of everything in the course. Calculus is particularly suitable for presenting this double view of mathematics. We w o u l d t h e r e f o r e u r g e t h e r e a d e r s o m e t i m e s t o p a y a t t e n t i o n t o t h e d e t a i l s o f argument in proofs and to the abstract structures and their interrelationships, and at other times to become involved in the interpretation provided by the applications. Limits, Continuity and the Real Numbers: This is a first course in calculus, geometri- cally and intuitively developed. It is not a course in analysis, and any attempt to provide a rigorous treatment of limits, continuity or the real numbers would be quite inappropriate. We believe that the limits required in this course present little di fficulty to intuitive understanding — really little more is needed than limx→∞ 1/x = 0 and the occasional use of the sandwich principle in proofs. Char- acterising the tangent as the limit of the secant is a dramatic new idea, clearly marking the beginning of calculus, and quite accessible. Continuity and di ffer- entiability need only occasional attention, given the well-behaved functions that occur in the course. The real numbers are defined geometrically as points on the number line, and provided that intuitive ideas about lines are accepted, ev- erything needed about them can be justified from this definition. In particular, the intermediate value theorem, which states that a continuous function can only change sign at a zero, is taken to be obvious. These unavoidable gaps concern only very subtle issues of ‘foundations’, and we are fortunate that everything else in the course can be developed rigorously so that students are given that characteristic mathematical experience of certainty and total understanding. This is the great contribution that mathematics brings to all our education. Te c h n o l o g y : There is much discussion, but little agreement yet, about what role tech- nology should play in the mathematics classroom and which calculators or soft- ware may be e ffective. This is a time for experimentation and diversity. We have therefore given only a few specific recommendations about technology, but we encourage such investigation, and to this version we have added some optional technology resources that can be accessed via the Cambridge GO website. The graphs of functions are at the centre of the course, and the more experience and intuitive understanding students have, the better able they are to interpret the mathematics correctly. A warning here is appropriate — any machine drawing of a curve should be accompanied by a clear understanding of why such a curve arises from the particular equation or situation.

CHAPTER ONE Methods in Algebra Mathematics is the study of structure, pursued using a highly refined form of language in which every word has an exact meaning, and in which the logic is expressed with complete precision. As the structures and the logic of their explanation become more complicated, the language describing them in turn becomes more specialised, and requires systematic study for the meaning to be understood. The symbols and methods of algebra are one aspect of that special language, and fluency in algebra is essential for work in all the various topics of the course. Study Notes: Several topics in this chapter will probably be quite new — the four cubic identities of Section 1E, solving a set of three simultaneous equations in three variables in Section 1G, and the language of sets in Section 1J. The rest of the chapter is a concise review of algebraic work which would normally have been carefully studied in previous years, and needs will therefore vary as to the amount of work required on these exercises. 1A Te r m s , Fa c t o r s a n d I n d i c e s A pronumeral is a symbol that stands for a number. The pronumeral may stand for a known number, or for an unknown number, or it may be a va r i a b l e ,standing for any one of a whole set of possible numbers. Pronumerals, being numbers, can therefore be sub jected to all the operations that are possible with numbers, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (except by zero). Like and Unlike Terms: An algebraic expression is an expression such as x2+2 x+3 x2− 4x− 3, in which pronumerals and numbers and operations are combined. The five terms in the above expression are x2,2 x,3 x2,−4xand −3. The two like terms x2and 3x2can be combined to give 4 x2, and the like terms 2 xand −4xcan be combined to give −2x. This results in three unlike terms 4x2,−2x and −3, which cannot be combined.

Factoring by Grouping: When there are four or more terms, it is sometimes possible to split the expression into groups, factor each group in turn, and then factor the whole expression by taking out a common factor or by some other method.

! ! 16 CHAPTER 1: Methods in Algebra CAMBRIDGE MATHEMATICS 3U NIT YEAR 11 1G Quadratic Equations This section reviews the solution of quadratic equations by factorisation and by the quadratic formula. The third method, completing the square, will be reviewed in Section 1I. Solving a Quadratic by Factorisation: This method is the simplest, but it normally only works when the roots are rational numbers. 9 SOLVING A QUADRATIC BY FACTORING : 1. Get all the terms on the left, then factor the left-hand side. 2. Use the principle that if AB =0, then A =0 or B =0. WORKED EXERCISE : Solve 5 x2+34 x− 7=0. SOLUTION : 5x2+34 x− 7=0 (5x− 1)( x+7) = 0 (factoring the LHS) 5x− 1=0 or x+7 = 0 (one of the factors must be zero) x= 15 or x= −7 Solving a Quadratic by the Formula: This method works whether the solutions are rational numbers or involve surds. 10 THE QUADRATIC FORMULA : The solution of ax 2+ bx + c=0 is x= −b+ √b2− 4ac 2a or x= −b− √b2− 4ac 2a . Always calculate b2− 4ac first. The formula is proven by completing the square, as discussed in Chapter Eight. WORKED EXERCISE : Use the quadratic formula to solve: (a) 5x2+2 x− 7=0 (b) 3x2+4 x− 1=0 SOLUTION : (a) 5x2+2 x− 7=0 Here b2− 4ac =2 2+140 =144 =12 2, so x= −2+12 10 or −2− 12 10 =1 or −125. (b) 3x2+4 x− 1=0 Here b2− 4ac =4 2+12 =28 =4 × 7, so x= −4+2 √7 6 or −4− 2√7 6 = 13(−2+ √7) or 13(−2− √7) . Exercise 1G 1.

Both linear and non-linear simultaneous equations will be reviewed, and the methods extended to systems of three equations in three unknowns. Solution by Substitution: This method can be applied whenever one of the equations can be solved for one of the variables. 11 SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS BY SUBSTITUTION : Solve one of the equations for one of the variables, then substitute it into the other equation. WORKED EXERCISE : Solve these simultaneous equations by substitution: (a) 3x− 2y=29 (1) 4x+ y=24 (2) (b) y= x2 (1) y= x+2 (2) SOLUTION : (a) Solving (2) for y, y=24 − 4x. (2A) Substituting (2A) into (1), 3 x− 2(24 − 4x)=29 x=7 . Substituting x= 7 into (1), 21 − 2y=29 y= −4. So x=7 and y= −4.

So x=2 and y=4, or x= −1and y=1. Solution by Elimination: This method, when it can be used, is more elegant, and can involve less algebraic manipulation with fractions. 12 SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS BY ELIMINATION :Takesuitablemultiplesoftheequations so that one variable is eliminated when the equations are added or subtracted. WORKED EXERCISE : Solve these simultaneous equations by elimination: (a) 3x− 2y=29 (1) 4x+5 y=8 (2) (b) x2+ y2=53 (1) x2− y2=45 (2) SOLUTION : (a) Ta k i n g 4 × (1) and 3 × (2), 12 x− 8y=116 (1A) 12 x+15 y=24 . (2A) Subtracting (1A) from (2A), 23 y= −92 y= −4. Substituting into (1), 3x+8 = 29 x=7 . So x=7 and y= −4. (b) Adding (1) and (2), 2x2=98 x2=49 . Subtracting (2) from (1), 2y2=8 y2=4 . So x=7 and y=2, or x=7 and y= −2, or x= −7and y=2, or x= −7and y= −2. Systems of Three Equations in Three Variables: The key step here is to reduce the system to two equations in two variables. 13 SOLVING THREE SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS : Using either substitution or elimination, produce two simultaneous equations in two of the variables. WORKED EXERCISE : Solve simultaneously: 3 x− 2y− z= −8(1) 5x+ y+3 z=23 (2) 4x+ y− 5z= −18 (3) SOLUTION : Subtracting (3) from (2), x+8 z=41 . (4) Doubling (3), 8 x+2 y− 10 z= −36 (3A) and adding (1) and (3A), 11 x− 11 z= −44 x− z= −4. (5) Equations (4) and (5) are now two equations in two unknowns. Subtracting (5) from (4), 9z=45 z=5 .

In mathematics, these collections are called sets ,andthissectionwill introduce or review some of the language associated with sets. Logic is very close to the surface when talking about sets, and particular attention should be given to the words ‘if ’, ‘if and only if ’, ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘not’. Listing Sets and Describing Sets: A set is a collection of things. When a set is specified, it needs to be made absolutely clear what things are its members. This can be done by listing the members inside curly brackets: S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 }, read as ‘ S is the set whose members are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9’. It can also be done by writing a description of its members inside curly brackets, for example, T = {odd integers from 0 to 10 }, read as ‘ T is the set of odd integers from 0 to 10’. Equal Sets: Two sets are called equal if they have exactly the same members. Hence the sets S and T in the previous paragraph are equal, which is written as S = T. The order in which the members are written doesn’t matter at all, neither does repetition, so, for example, {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 }= {3, 9, 7, 5, 1 }= {5, 9, 1, 3, 7 }= {1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 7, 9 }.

Set-builder Notation: Athirdwaytospecifyasetistowritedown,usingacolon(:), all the conditions something must fulfil to be a member of the set. For example, {n:n is a positive integer, n< 5}= {1, 2, 3, 4 }, which is read as ‘The set of all n such that n is a positive integer and n is less than 5’. If the type of number is not specified, real numbers are normally intended. Here are some sets of real numbers, in set-builder notation, with their graphs on the number line: x 30 {x:x< 3} x −20 {x:x≥− 2} x −11 0 {x:−1≤ x< 1} x −11 0 {x:x< −1or x≥ 1} The Size of a Set: Asetmaybe finite or infinite .Ifaset S is finite, then |S|is the symbol for the number of members in S.Forexample, {positive even numbers }is infinite and |{ a, e, i, o, u }| =5 . Some sets have only one member, for example {3}is ‘the set whose only member is 3’. The set {3}is a di fferent ob ject from the number 3: 3∈ {3} and 3 ̸= {3} and |{ 3}| =1 . The Empty Set: The symbol ∅ represents the empty set , which is the set with no members: |∅|=0 and x/∈∅ , whatever xis. There is only one empty set, because any two empty sets have the same members (that is, none at all) and so are equal. Subsets of Sets: Aset A is called a subset of a set B if every member of A is a member of B.Thisrelationiswrittenas A ⊂ B.Forexample, {men in Australia }⊂ {people in Australia } {2, 3, 4 }̸⊂ {3, 4, 5 }. Because of the way subsets have been defined, every set is a subset of itself. Also the empty set is a subset of every set. For example, {1, 3, 5 }⊂ {1, 3, 5 }, ∅⊂ {1, 3, 5 } and {3}⊂ {1, 3, 5 }. ‘If’ means Subset, ‘If and Only If’ means Equality: The word ‘if ’ and the phrase ‘if and only if ’ are fundamental to mathematical language. They have an important interpretation in the language of sets, the first in terms of subsets of sets, the second in terms of equality of sets: A ⊂ B means ‘If x∈ A,then x∈ B’. A = B means ‘ x∈ A if and only if x∈ B’.

! ! CHAPTER 1: Methods in Algebra 1J The Language of Sets 25 Union and Intersection: The union A ∪B of two sets A and B is the set of everything belonging to A or to B or to both. Their intersection A∩B is the set of everything belonging to both A and B.Forexample, if A = {0, 1, 2, 3 }and B = {1, 3, 6 }, then A ∪B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 6 }and A ∩B = {1, 3 }. Two sets A and B are called disjoint if they have no elements in common, that is, if A ∩B = ∅.Forexample,thesets {2, 4, 6, 8 }and {1, 3, 5, 7 }are disjoint. ‘Or’ means Union, ‘And’ means Intersection: The definitions of union and intersection can be written in set-builder notation using the words ‘and’ and ‘or’: A ∪B = {x:x∈ A or x∈ B} A ∩B = {x:x∈ A and x∈ B}. This connection between the words ‘and’ and ‘or’ and set notation should be carefully considered. The word ‘or’ in mathematics always means ‘and/or’, and never means ‘either, but not both’. The Universal Set and the Complement of a Set: A universal set is the set of everything under discussion in a particular situation. For example, if A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 }, then possible universal sets are the set of all positive integers less than 11, or the set of all real numbers. Once a universal set E is fixed, then the complement A of any set A is the set of all members of that universal set which are not in A.Forexample, if A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 }and E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 }, then A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10 }. Notice that every member of the universal set is either in A or in A, but never in both A and A: A ∪A = E and A ∩A = ∅. ‘Not’ means Complement: There is an important connection between the word ‘not’ and the complement of a set. If the definition of the complementary set is written in set-builder notation, A = {x∈ E :xis not a member of A}. Venn Diagrams: A Ve n n d i a g r a m is a diagram used to represent the relationship be- tween sets. For example, the four diagrams below represent the four di fferent possible relationships between two sets A and B.Ineachcase,theuniversalset is again E = {1, 2, 3, ... ,10 }.

! ! 26 CHAPTER 1: Methods in Algebra CAMBRIDGE MATHEMATICS 3U NIT YEAR 11 Compound sets such as A ∪ B,A ∩ B and A ∩ B can be visualised by shading regions the of Venn diagram, as is done in several questions in the following exercise. The Counting Rule for Sets: To calculate the size of the union A∪B of two sets, adding the sizes of A and of B will not do, because the members of the intersection A∩B would be counted twice. Hence |A ∩ B|needs to be subtracted again, and the rule is |A ∪B|= |A|+ |B|− |A ∩B|. Fo r e x a m p l e , t h e Ve n n d i a g r a m o n t h e r i g h t s h o w s t h e t w o sets: A = {1, 3, 4, 5, 9 } and B = {2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 }. A B 5 7 1 3 2 4 6 8 9 E From the diagram, |A ∪ B|=9, |A|=5, |B|=6and |A ∩B|= 2, and the formula works because 9 = 5 + 6 − 2. When two sets are disjoint, there is no overlap between A and B to cause any double counting. With A ∩B = ∅and |A ∩B|= 0, the counting rule becomes |A ∪B|= |A|+ |B|. Problem Solving Using Venn Diagrams: A Venn diagram is often the most convenient way to sort out problems involving overlapping sets of things. In the following exercise, the number of members of each region is written inside the region, rather than the members themselves. WORKED EXERCISE : 100 Sydneysiders were surveyed to find out how many of them had visited the cities of Melbourne and Brisbane. 31 people had visited Mel- bourne, 26 people had visited Brisbane and 12 people had visited both cities. Find how many people had visited: (a) Melbourne or Brisbane, (b) Brisbane but not Melbourne, (c) only one of the two cities, (d) neither city. SOLUTION : Let M be the set of people who have visited Mel- bourne, let B be the set of people who have visited Brisbane, and let E be the universal set of all people surveyed. Calcu- lations should begin with the 12 people in the intersection of the two regions. Then the numbers shown in the other three regions of the Venn diagram can easily be found, and so: M B 14 19 12 55 E (a) |{ visited Melbourne or Brisbane }| =19+14+12=45 (b) |{ visited Melbourne only }| =19 (c) |{ visited only one city }| = 19 + 14 = 33 (d) |{ visited neither city }| =100 − 45 = 55 ISBN: 9781107633322 Photocopying is restricted under law and this material must not be transferred to another party © Bill Pender, David Sadler, Julia Shea, Derek Ward 2012 Cambridge University Press

CHAPTER TWO Numbers and Functions The principal purpose of this course is the study of functions of real numbers, and the first task is therefore to make it clear what numbers are and what functions are. The first five sections of this chapter review the four number systems, with particular attention to the arithmetic of surds. The last five sections develop the idea of functions and relations and their graphs, with a review of known graphs, and a discussion of various ways in which the graph of a known function or relation can be transformed, allowing a wide variety of new graphs to be obtained. Study Notes: Although much of the detail here may be familiar, the sys- tematic exposition of numbers and functions in this chapter will be new and demanding for most pupils. Understanding is vital, and the few proofs that do occur are worth emphasising. In the work on surds, the exact value of the num- ber must constantly be distinguished from its decimal approximation produced on the calculator. In the work on functions, computer sketching can make routine the understanding that a function has a graph — an understanding fundamental for the whole course but surprisingly elusive — and computers are particularly helpful in understanding transformations of graphs and how they can be e ffected algebraically, because a large number of similar examples can be examined in a short time. Nevertheless, pupils must eventually be able to construct a graph from its equation on their own. 2A Cardinals, Integers and Rational Numbers Our experience of numbers arises from the two quite distinct fields of counting and geometry, and we shall need to organise these contrasting insights into a unified view. This section concerns the cardinal numbers, the integers and the rational numbers, which are all based on counting. The Cardinal Numbers: Counting things requires the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... .These numb ers are called the cardinal numbers ,andthesymbol N is conventionally used for the set of all cardinal numbers. 1 DEFINITION : N = {cardinal numbers }= {0, 1, 2, 3, ... } This is an infinite set, because no matter how many cardinal numbers are listed, there will always be more. The number 0 is the smallest cardinal, but there is no largest cardinal, because given any cardinal n,thecardinal n+1 is bigger. Closure of N: If two cardinals aand bare added, the sum a+ band the product ab are still cardinals. We therefore say that the set N of cardinals is closed under ISBN: 9781107633322 Photocopying is restricted under law and this material must not be transferred to another party © Bill Pender, David Sadler, Julia Shea, Derek Ward 2012 Cambridge University Press

! ! 30 CHAPTER 2: Numbers and Functions CAMBRIDGE MATHEMATICS 3U NIT YEAR 11 addition and multiplication. But the set of cardinals is not closed under either subtraction or division. For example, 5− 7 is not a cardinal and 6 ÷ 10 is not a cardinal. Divisibility — HCF and LCM: Division of cardinals sometimes does result in a cardinal. Acardinal ais called a divisor of the cardinal bif the quotient b÷ ais a cardinal. Fo r e x a m p l e , {divisors of 24 }= {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 } {divisors of 30 }= {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 } The highest common factor or HCF of two or more cardinals is the largest cardinal that is a divisor of each of them, so the HCF of 24 and 30 is 6. The key to cancelling a fraction down to its lowest terms is dividing the numerator and denominator by their HCF: 24 30 = 24 ÷ 6 30 ÷ 6= 4 5 If ais a divisor of b,then bis a multiple of a.Forexample, {multiples of 24 }= {24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, ... } {multiples of 30 }= {30, 60, 90, 120, 150, ... } The lowest common multiple or LCM of two or more cardinals is the smallest positive cardinal that is a multiple of each of them, so the LCM of 24 and 30 is 120. The key to adding and subtracting fractions is finding the LCM of their denominators, called the lowest common denominator : 5 24 + 7 30 = 5× 5 120 + 7× 4 120 = 53 120 Prime Numbers: A prime number is a cardinal number greater than 1 whose only divisors are itself and 1. The primes form a sequence whose distinctive pattern has confused every mathematician since Greek times: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, ... Acardinalgreaterthan1thathasfactorsotherthanitselfand1iscalleda composite number , and without giving its rather di fficult proof, we shall assume the ‘unique factorisation theorem’: 2 THEOREM :Everypositivecardinalnumbercanbewrittenasaproductofprime numb ers in one and only one way, apart from the order of the factors. So, for example, 24 = 2 3× 3, and 30 = 2 × 3× 5. This theorem means that as far as multiplication is concerned, the prime numbers are the building blocks for all cardinal numbers, no matter how big or complicated they might be. (No primes divide 1, and so the factorisation of 1 into primes requires the qualification that aproductofnofactorsis1.) The Greeks were able to prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers, and the proof of this interesting result is given here because it is a clear example of ‘proof by contradiction’, where one assumes the theorem to be false and then works towards a contradiction.

! ! CHAPTER 2: Numbers and Functions 2A Cardinals, Integers and Rational Numbers 31 3 THEOREM :Thereareinfinitelymanyprimenumbers. Proof: Suppose, by way of contradiction, that the theorem were false. Then there would be a finite list p1,p2,p3,...p nof all the primes. Fo r m t h e p r o d u c t N = p1p2p3...p n of all of them. Then N + 1 has remainder 1 after division by each of the primes p1,p2,p3,...p n. So N +1 is not divisible by any of the primes p1,p2,p3,...p n. So the prime factorisation of N + 1 must involve primes other than p1,p2,p3,...p n. But p1,p2,p3,...p nis supposed to be a complete list of primes. This is a contradiction, so the theorem is true. In case you are tempted to think that all theorems about primes are so easily proven, here is the beginning of the list of prime pairs ,whicharepairsofprime numb ers di ffering by 2: 3, 5; 5, 7; 11, 13; 17, 19; 29, 31; 41, 43; 59, 61; 71, 73; ... . No-one has yet been able to prove either that this list of prime pairs is finite, or that it is infinite. Computers cannot answer this question, because no computer search for prime pairs could possibly establish whether this list of prime pairs terminates or not. The Integers: The desire to give a meaning to calculations like 5 − 7leadsto negative numb ers −1, −2, −3, −4, ... , and the positive and negative numbers together with zero are called the integers ,from‘integral’meaning‘whole’. Thesymbol Z (from the German word zahlen meaning numb ers ) is conventionally used for the set of integers. 4 DEFINITION : Z = {integers }= {0, 1, −1, 2, −2, 3, −3, ... } This set Z is another infinite set containing the set N of cardinal numbers. There is neither a greatest nor a least integer, because given any integer n, the integer n+ 1 is greater than n,andtheinteger n− 1islessthan n. Closure of Z: The set Z of integers is closed not only under addition and multiplication, but also under subtraction. For example, 7+( −11) = −4( −8) × 3= −24 ( −16) − (−13) = −3 but the set is still not closed under division. For example, 12 ÷ 10 is not an integer. The Rational Numbers: The desire to give meaning to a calculation like ‘divide 7 into 3 equal parts’ leads naturally to fractions and the system of rational numbers . Positive rational numbers were highly developed by the Greeks, for whom ratio was central to their mathematical ideas. 5 DEFINITION :A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio or fraction a/b ,where aand bare integers and b̸=0: Q = {rational numbers } (Q stands for quotient.)

Because every integer a is also a fraction a/ 1, the set Q of rational numbers contains the set Z of integers. So we now have three successively larger systems of numbers, N ⊂ Z ⊂ Q. Lowest Terms: Multiplication or division of the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number doesn’t change the value of a fraction. So division of the numerator and denominator by their HCF always cancels a fraction down to lowest terms, in which the numerator and denominator have no common factor greater than 1. Multiplying the numerator and denominator by −1reversesboth their signs, so the denominator can always be made positive. 6 ASTANDARD FORM :Everyrationalnumbercanbewrittenintheform a/b ,where aand bare integers with highest common factor 1, and b≥ 1. Closure of Q: The rational numbers are closed under all four operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division (except by 0). The opposite of a ratio- nal number a/b is obtained by taking the opposite of either the numerator or denominator. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero: − a b= −a b = a −b and a b+ !−a b " =0 . The reciprocal (inverse is not the correct word) of a nonzero rational number a/b is obtained by exchanging the numerator and denominator. The product of a number and its reciprocal is 1: !a b "−1 = b a ! or 1 a/b = b a " and a b× b a=1 . The reciprocal x−1of a rational number xis analogous to its opposite −x: x× x−1=1 and x+( −x)=0 . Terminating and Recurring Decimals: A terminating decimal is an alternative notation for a rational number that can be written as a fraction with a power of 10 as the denominator: 125= 1410 =1 ·43 18= 3125 1000 =3 ·125 578 350 =578+ 6100 =578 ·06 Other than this rather narrow purpose, decimals are useful for approximating numbers so that they can be compared or placed roughly on a number line. For this reason, decimals are used when a quantity like distance or time is being physically measured — the act of measuring can never produce an exact answer. A rational number that cannot be written with a power of 10 as its denominator can, however, be written as a recurring decimal ,inwhichthedigitstotheright of a certain point cycle endlessly. In the division process, the cycling begins when a remainder occurs which has occurred before. 23=0 ·666 666 ... =0 ·˙6 13 1011 =13 ·909 09 ... =13 ·˙9˙0 637=6 ·428 571 428 571 ... =6 ·˙42857 ˙1 24 3544 =24 ·795 454 545 45 ... =24 ·79 ˙5˙4 Conversely, every recurring decimal can be written as a fraction, by the following method.

! ! CHAPTER 2: Numbers and Functions 2B The Real Numbers 35 2B The Real Numbers Whereas the integers are regularly spaced 1 unit apart, the rational numbers are packed infinitely closely together. For example, between 0 and 1 there are 9 rationals with denominator 10: 01 110 210 310 410 510 610 810 910 710 and there are 99 rationals with denominator 100 between 0 and 1: 01 50100 and so on, until the rationals are spread ‘as finely as we like’ along the whole number line. 8 THE RATIONAL NUMBERS ARE DENSE :Thismeansthatwithinanysmallintervalon the number line, there are infinitely many rational numbers. 1 1 2 There are Numbers that are Not Rational: Although the rational numb ers are dense, there are many more numb ers on the number line. In fact ‘most numbers’ are not rational. In par- ticular, some of the most important numbers you will meet in this course are irrational ,like √2, π and the number e, which we will define later. The proof by contradiction that√2 is irrational was found by the Greeks, and the result is particularly important, since √2 arises so easily in geometry from the very simple and important process of constructing the diagonal of the unit square. It is a surprising result, and shows very clearly how fractions cannot form a number system su fficient for studying geometry. 9 THEOREM :Thenumber √2isirrational. Proof: Suppose, by way of contradiction, that √2wererational. Then √2couldbewrittenas √2= a b, where aand bare integers with no common factors, and b≥ 1. Multiplying both sides by band then squaring both sides gives a2=2 b2. Since 2 b2is even, then the left-hand side a2must also b e even. Hence amust b e even, b ecause if awere o dd, then a2would b e o dd. So a=2 kfor some integer k,andso a2=4 k2is divisible by 4. So the right-hand side 2 b2is divisible by 4, and so b2is even. Hence bmust b e even, b ecause if bwere o dd, then b2would b e o dd. But now both aand bare even, and so have a common factor 2. This is a contradiction, so the theorem is true. It now follows immediately that every multiple of √2byarationalnumbermust be irrational. The exercises ask for similar proofs by contradiction that numbers like √3, 3√2andlog 23areirrational,andthefollowingworkedexampleshows that log 25isirrational. Unfortunatelytheproofsthat π and eare irrational are considerably more di fficult.

! ! 36 CHAPTER 2: Numbers and Functions CAMBRIDGE MATHEMATICS 3U NIT YEAR 11 WORKED EXERCISE : Show that log 25 is irrational (remember that x =log 25 means that 2 x=5). SOLUTION : Suppose, by way of contradiction, that log 25wererational. Then log 25 could be written as log 25= a b, where aand bare integers with no common factors, and b≥ 1. Wr i t i n g t h i s u s i n g p o w e r s , 2ab=5 , and taking the bth power of both sides, 2 a=5 b. Now the LHS is even, being a positive integer power of 2, and the RHS is odd, being a positive integer power of 5. This is a contradiction, so the theorem is true. The Real Numbers and the Number Line: The existence of irrational numbers means that the arithmetic of Section 2A, based on the cardinals and their successive extension to the integers and the rationals, is inadequate, and we require a more general idea of number. It is at this point that we turn away from counting and make an appeal to geometry to define a still larger system called the real numbers as the points on the number line. Take a line ℓand turn it into a number line by cho osing two p oints on it called 0 and 1: 01 ! The exercises review the standard methods of using ruler and compasses to con- struct a point on ℓcorresponding to any rational number, and the construction of further points on ℓcorresponding to the square roots √2, √3, √5, √6, ... . Even the number π can notionally be placed on the line by rolling a circle of di- ameter 1 unit along the line. It seems reasonable therefore to make the following definition. 10 DEFINITION :The real numbers are the points on the number line: R = {real numbers } The real numbers are often referred to as the continuum ,becausetherationals, despite being dense, are in a sense scattered along the number line like specks of dust, but do not ‘join up’. For example, the rational multiples of √2, which are all irrational, are just as dense on the number line as the rational numbers. It is only the real line itself which is completely joined up, to be the continuous line of geometry rather than falling apart into an infinitude of discrete points. Note: There is, as one might expect, a great deal more to be done here. First, the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division need to be defined, and shown to be consistent with these operations in the rationals. Sec- ondly, one needs to explain why all other irrationals, like log 25and 3√2, really do have their place amongst the real numbers. And thirdly and most fundamentally, our present notion of a line is far too naive and undeveloped as yet to carry the rigorous development of our definitions. These are very di fficult questions, which were resolved only towards the end of the 19th century, and then incompletely. Interested readers may like to pursue these questions in a more advanced text.
