CHAPTER 1: ALGEBRAIC TOPICS

1.1 Review on Number System

Everyday numbers can be classified into sets. In this lesson, we'll look at some of the most
common number sets and a few of their characteristics.

Sets

What is a set? Well, simply put, it's a collection. When we define a set, we must specify a
common characteristic.
Notation Method

There is a simple notation for sets. We simply list each element (or "member") separated by a
comma, and then put some curly brackets around the whole thing:
The curly brackets { } are called “set brackets” or “braces”.
Examples:
Set of even numbers, D= {..., −4, −2, 0, 2, 4, ...}
Set of odd numbers, K={..., −3, −1, 1, 3, ...}
Set of prime numbers, S= {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...}

Set-Builder Notation
Another method to write a set by saying what properties its members have.
Example:
D=

this is read as “D is the set of all x, such that x is greater than 0”. (In other word any value
greater than 0)
Subsets

“take pieces of that set”


Example: B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and A= {1, 2, 3}
⇒A is a subset of B, write
* If A is not a subset of B, write

Classification of Numbers
1. NATURAL NUMBER, N – for counting things or object.

N = {1,2,3, …}
2. WHOLE NUMBER, W – natural numbers together with 0.

W = {0,1,2,3, …}
3. INTEGER NUMBER, Z – the negative natural numbers together with 0 and the naturals
numbers.
Z = {…,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, …}
4. RATIONAL NUMBER, Q numbers which can be expressed as a ratio between two integers
(fraction form).
Q = Rational number = {p/q; p,q≠ 0 are integers}

- repeating:
- terminating:
5. IRRATIONAL NUMBER – number that cannot be written as a ratio (or fraction). In decimal
form, it never ends or repeats.
I = {cannot be written as p/q}
6. Real numbers, R – the set of numbers containing all of the rational numbers and all of the
irrational numbers.

7. Complex numbers,C – the set {a+bi ; a and b are real, i = √−1}. i = √−1 is Imaginary
number.

1.1 Review on Number System
The Real Number Line

Represented geometrically by points on a straight line.


A point is chosen on the line to be the "origin". Points to the right are positive, and points to the
left are negative.

Intervals of real numbers

Given any two real numbers a and b, the three possibilities are

𝑎=𝑏 a is equal to b
𝑎>𝑏 a is greater than b
𝑎<𝑏 a is less than b

Interval Notation
The conventions of interval notation:
• The smallest term from the interval is written first.
• The largest term in the interval is written second, following a comma.
• Parentheses, (), are used to signify that an endpoint is not included, called exclusive.
• Brackets, [], are used to indicate that an endpoint is included, called inclusive.

Rationalizing the numerator/denominator

To rationalize a numerator and denominator that contains an expression such as √𝑎 − √𝑏 , we


multiply both the numerator and the denominator with the conjugate radical √𝑎 + √𝑏. Then we
can take advantage of the formula for a difference of squares:
2 2
(√𝑎 − √𝑏)(√𝑎 + √𝑏) = (√𝑎) − (√𝑏) = 𝑎 − 𝑏

1.3 Absolute Value
1.3 ABSOLUTE VALUE
The absolute value of a real number a is denoted by |a| and it is the distance from a to
the origin 0 on the number line. The absolute value is always positive. We can give a
formula for the absolute value of the number, which depends on whether a is positive or
negative. Because of this we must make two statements to describe the formula.
Definition:
If 𝑎 is real number, the absolute value of 𝑎 is
𝑎 ; 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 ≥ 0
|𝑎| = {
−𝑎 ; 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 < 0

Absolute Value

The absolute value of x, denoted by |x|, is the distance from x to 0 on the number line.
Since distances are always positive of 0, we have
|𝑥| ≥ 0
Example:

In general, we have

Example: Solve |𝑥 + 2| = 5

Graphically: |𝑥 + 2| = 5

1.3 Indices and Logarithm
1.3.1 Indices
If a is any real number, 𝑎 ∈ ℜ (𝑎 > 0) and n is a positive integer, then 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 ×. ..

The integer n is called the index or exponent and a is the base.


a) Positive indices: 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 ×. ..
Example:

i) 34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81

ii) (−3)2

iii) (0.2)3

b) Negative indices: 𝑎−𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛

Example:
1
i) 2−1 =
2

ii) 3−2

iii) 4−2

c) Zero index: 𝑎0 = 1
𝑎𝑚
From Law of indices, 𝑎𝑚 ÷ 𝑎𝑚 = 𝑎𝑚−𝑚 = 𝑎0 . But by division 𝑎𝑚 = 1, therefore, 𝑎0 = 1.

Any number with zero index is equal to 1.

2.1.1 Relation

 A relation is a correspondence between two sets, X and Y.


 If x is an element in X, and y is the element in Y, and if relation exist between x and y, then
we say that x is corresponds to y, or that y depends on x.
 In a relation, the member of the first set, X will correspond to at least one member of the
second set, Y.
 The object of the relation is x and the image is y.
 A relation between two sets can be represented by:
o Arrow diagram
o Ordered pairs
o graphs
 For example: Let X={2,3,4} and Y={6,8}, and consider the relation ‘is a factor of’, then the
relation can represented using an arrow diagram as shown below.

 The relation can also represent by ordered pairs, {(2,6), (2,8), (3,6), (4,8)}.
 Relation can be classified as: one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many.

2.3 INVERSE FUNCTIONS

Definition: Suppose we have function defined by a set of ordered pairs (𝑥, 𝑦) where 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥).

 This means that f matches each element of X to exactly one y, and f-1 matches those same
elements of Y back to the original values of X.
 f has an inverse function if and only if f is one-to-one function.
The standard notation for inverse f is f-1
 The function 𝑓 −1 with domain R and range D is the inverse of f if
o 𝑓 −1 [𝑓(𝑥)] = 𝑥, 𝑥 ∈ 𝐷
o 𝑓[𝑓 −1 (𝑦)] = 𝑦, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅

Definition: A function is one-to-one if no two ordered pairs of the function have the same
component from different first components.

f is NOT a function g is a function but h is a one-to-one


NOT one-to-one function

Function f is said to be one-to-one function if 𝑓(𝑥1 ) and 𝑓(𝑥2 ) are equal implies 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 and vice
versa. Horizontal line test also can be used to determine whether a function is one-to-one function.

Horizontal line test: A function has an inverse if and only if no horizontal line intersects the graphs
at more that one point.

Not one-to-one One-to-one

Example: Determine whether the following functions are one-to-one.


1. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 2, 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅

2. 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 1, 𝑥 ∈ [0,3]

NOTE: 𝑓 −1 ≠ 𝑓

Procedure finding the inverse function.


1. Write the equation 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)
2. Express x as a function of y
3. The resulting equation will be 𝑥 = 𝑓 −1 (𝑦)
4. Interchange x and y in the equation 𝑥 = 𝑓 −1 (𝑦) to obtain 𝑦 = 𝑓 −1 (𝑥)
To check: 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) = 𝑥 and 𝑓 −1 (𝑓(𝑥)) = 𝑥

The relationship between the domain and range of f and f-1 are:
Domain of 𝑓 −1 = range of f
Range of 𝑓 −1 = domain of f

2.4.2.1 Remainder Theorem

If a polynomial f  x  is divided by a linear divisor  x  a , the remainder is f a .

𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 − 𝑎) 𝑞(𝑥) + 𝑓(𝑎)


An important and useful consequences of the Remainder Theorem is the Factor Theorem which
states that
If (𝑥 − 𝑎) is a factor of 𝑓(𝑥), then 𝑓(𝑎) = 0

Example:
1. Find the remainder if 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 5 is divided by 𝑥 − 3.
Solution:
Using Remainder Theorem,
Let 𝑥 − 3 = 0

Then, 𝑓(3) = 33 − 4(32 ) + 2(3) − 5 = −8

2.5 LOGARITHMIC AND INDICES FUNCTIONS


2.5.1 Introduction to Indices and Logarithm
2.5.1.1 Indices
If a is any real number, 𝑎 ∈ ℜ (𝑎 > 0) and n is a positive integer, then 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 ×. ..

The integer n is called the index or exponent and a is the base.


a) Positive indices: 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 × 𝑎 ×. ..
Example:

i) 34 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81

ii) (−3)2

iii) (0.2)3

1 3
iv) ( )
5

1
b) Negative indices: 𝑎−𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛

Example:
1
i) 2−1 = 2

ii) 3−2

iii) 4−2

c) Zero index: 𝑎0 = 1
𝑎𝑚
From Law of indices, 𝑎𝑚 ÷ 𝑎𝑚 = 𝑎𝑚−𝑚 = 𝑎0 . But by division 𝑎𝑚 = 1, therefore, 𝑎0 = 1.

71
MAT406
CHAPTER 2: FUNCTIONS

Any number with zero index is equal to 1.


Example:

1
𝑛
d) Rational/Fractional indices: 𝑎𝑛 = √𝑎
1 1 1 1 1
+
From law of indices, 𝑎2 × 𝑎2 = 𝑎2 2 = 𝑎1 , this means that 𝑎2 = √𝑎
1 1 1 1

Also, 𝑎3 × 𝑎3 × 𝑎3 = 𝑎1 , this means that 𝑎3 = √𝑎 .

So, in general 𝑎𝑛 = √𝑎 .

Also, 𝑎4 × 𝑎4 × 𝑎4 × 𝑎4 = 𝑎3 ; this means that 𝑎4 is the fourth root of

An algebraic inequality is a solution for value of 𝑥 that satisfy the equation which expressing
them by graphing on number line and interval notation.
An Inclusive inequality denoted by closed dot on the number line and a square bracket in
interval notation.
A compound inequality is two or more inequalities in one statement joined by the word “and”
or by the word “or”. Compound inequalities with the logical “or” require that either condition
must be satisfied.

3.2 SOLVING INEQUALITIES


Type of Inequalities
3.2.1 Linear Inequality
a) An inequality is a relationship between two quantities that are unequal. The
relationship between quantities is expressed with the symbols and can be
represented in a number line.

Symbol Meaning Number Line

b) Inequalities are solved in the same way as solving equations, except that the
direction of the inequality sign is reversed when both sides of an inequality is
multiplied or divided by a negative number.
c) When any number is added to, or is subtracted from both sides of an inequality,
the inequality sign remains unchanged.
d) When we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a positive number,
the inequality sign remains unchanged.
e) When we multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number,
the inequality sign must be reversed.

3.2.5 Absolute Value


The absolute value of a real number a is denoted by |a| and it is the distance from a
to the origin 0 on the number line. The absolute value is always positive. We can give
a formula for the absolute value of the number, which depends on whether a is positive
or negative. Because of this we must make two statements to describe the formula.
Definition:
If 𝑎 is real number, the absolute value of 𝑎 is
𝑎 ; 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 ≥ 0
|𝑎| = {
−𝑎 ; 𝑖𝑓 𝑎 < 0

Absolute Value
The absolute value of x, denoted by |x|, is the distance from x to 0 on the number line.
Since distances are always positive of 0, we have
|𝑥| ≥ 0
Example:

In general, we have

Example: Solve |𝑥 + 2| = 5

4.1 Solving Simultaneous Equations with Two Variables: Linear Equations


There are two methods to solve simultaneous equation in two variable which are substitution
method and elimination method.

4.1.1 Substitution Method


To solve by substitution method, there must be two unknowns to two lines of equations. In this
method, solve an equation for one variable, then substitute in the other equations and solve.
Example: Solve the following simultaneous equations using substitution method.

4.3 System of Inequalities

 The easiest way to solve systems of inequalities is to solve by graphing.


 The graph of an inequality is a half-plane.
 The graph of a system of inequalities is the graph of all solutions of the system or it is
shown as the region common to all of the half-planes.
 To graph a system of linear inequalities:
1. Graph the line that corresponds to the inequality. Use dashed line for an inequality
with < or > and a solid line for an inequality with ≤ or ≥.
2. Lightly shade the half-plane that is the graph of the inequality.

A system of inequalities is a set of two or more inequalities in one or more variables.


Systems of inequalities follow much of the same notation as linear inequalities.
  is the greater than symbol.
  is the less than symbol.
  is the greater than or equal to symbol.
  is the less than or equal to symbol.
  is the not equal to symbol.

Example 1: Graph the following inequalities and shade the feasible region.

𝑦≤𝑥
Solution:
First graph the equation 𝑦 = 𝑥.
Next, test a point that is located above the line and one that is below the line. Any point you
pick above the line, such as (0,2), y is greater than x, so points above the line are not included
in the solution.
Points below the line, such as (3,-3) have a y value that is less than the x value, so all points
below the line are included in the solution.

6.1 ANGLES AND THEIR MEASUREMENTS


 An angle normally being formed by rotating one ray away from a fixed ray as indicated
by 𝜃 as shown in figure below. The fixed ray is the initial side and the rotated ray is the
terminal side.
 An angle whose vertex is the center of a circle is a central angle, and the arc of the
circle through which the terminal side moves is the intercepted arc.
 An angle located in a rectangular coordinate system with the vertex at the origin and
the initial side on the positive 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 to be an angle in standard position.

6.1.1 Degree Measure of Angle


Angle are often measured in degrees. In this system, a circle is divided into 360 equal parts,
each of which is called degree.

6.1.2 Radian Measure of Angle


The radian is the Standard International (SI) unit of plane angular measure and SI symbol is
rad.
One radian is the measure of a central angle of a circle that is subtended by an arc whose
length is equal to the radius of a circle.

2 rad

1 rad

Note that the size of the circle does not affect the radian measure of the angle. The measure
is the ratio of intercepted arc length to the radius
180
Thus 2𝜋 radians equal 360 degrees. This means that 1 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = degree and 1 𝑑𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑒 =

6.1.4 Arc Length


 Consider a circle of radius 𝑟 centered at origin. Then the angle 𝜃, measured in radians,
subtends an arc of length 𝑠 on the circle.
 For one complete revolution which is 2𝜋 radians, the corresponding arc length is the
circumference of the circle, 2𝜋𝑟.

Definition:

 A matrix is defined as an ordered rectangular array of numbers enclosed by a pair of


brackets () or [ ].
 These numbers are called the entries (elements) of the matrix.
 Matrices are usually denoted by capital letters such as A, B, X and the elements are
denoted by the corresponding small letters with subscript indicating the location of the
element in the matrix.
 The location of each elements is identified by the row number, 𝑖 and the column
number, 𝑗.

7.1.2 Operation on Matrices
1) Equal Matrices
Two matrices are equal if they have the same size, that is, they have the same number of
rows and columns and their corresponding elements are equal.

Let 𝐴 = [𝑎𝑖𝑗 ] and 𝐵 = [𝑏𝑖𝑗 ] be 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrices.

𝐴 = 𝐵 if and only if 𝑎𝑖𝑗 = 𝑏𝑖𝑗 for every 𝑖 and 𝑗.


𝑝 𝑟 𝜎 𝛽
If [𝑞 𝑠 ] = [𝛿 𝜌
] ↔ 𝑝 = 𝜎, 𝑟 = 𝛽, 𝑞 = 𝛿, 𝑠 = 𝜌

Example 1:
𝑝−𝑞 𝑝 2 −2
Let 𝑃 = [ ] and 𝑄 = [ ]. Find the value of 𝑝, 𝑞, 𝑟, 𝑠 if 𝑃 = 𝑄.

CHAPTER 7: MATRICES
7.1 Introduction to Matrices
2) Addition and Subtraction of Matrices
Matrix addition or subtraction can be computed if and only if the matrices are of the same size.
It is obtained by adding or subtracting corresponding positions in each matrix.

Let 𝐴 = [𝑎𝑖𝑗 ] and 𝐵 = [𝑏𝑖𝑗 ] be 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrices, 𝐴 + 𝐵 if and only if 𝑎𝑖𝑗 + 𝑏𝑖𝑗 and 𝐴 − 𝐵 if and
only if 𝑎𝑖𝑗 − 𝑏𝑖𝑗 for every 𝑖 and 𝑗.

Properties: Matrix Addition and Subtraction

If 𝐴, 𝐵 and 𝐶 be 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrices and 𝑂 is the 𝑚 × 𝑛 zero matrix, then


1. 𝐴 + 𝐵 = 𝐵 + 𝐴 (Commutative Law)
2. (𝐴 + 𝐵) + 𝐶 = 𝐴 + (𝐵 + 𝐶) (Associative Law)
3. 𝐴 + 0 = 𝐴 (Additive Identity)
4. 𝐴 + (−𝐴) = 0 (Additive Inverse)

3) Matrix Multiplication: Scalar Multiplication


When 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrix 𝐴 = [𝑎𝑖𝑗 ] is multiplied by a scalar 𝑘, then every element in the matrix is
multiplied by the same scalar, 𝑘.

𝑘𝐴 = [𝑘 𝑎𝑖𝑗 ]

Properties: Scalar Multiplication

If 𝐴 and 𝐵 are 𝑚 × 𝑛 matrices, 𝑘 and 𝑙 are scalars, then the following properties hold.

1. 𝑘(𝐴 + 𝐵) = 𝑘𝐴 + 𝑘𝐵
2. (𝑘𝑙)𝐴 = 𝑘(𝑙𝐴)

8.1.1 Definition of Vectors


 The field of engineering and science often involve the measurement of physical
quantities.
 Physical quantities can be classified into two main groups namely scalar quantities and
vector quantities.
 A scalar quantity is characterized by its size or magnitude alone.
Example: length, mass, areas etc.
 A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
Example: force, velocity etc.
 Example: A speed of 50km/h is a scalar quantity whereas a velocity of 50km/h due

 A vector in a plane is a directed line segment which can be represented by a line
drawn to a known scale.
 The line carries an arrow indicating the direction in which the vector acts and the
length of the line indicates the magnitude of the vector.
 There are many ways to denote a vector.
 The vector quantity represented by the line from the initial point A to the terminal
point B is denoted by 𝐴𝐵⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ as shown below.

Any vector can be expressed as a sum of two or more non-parallel vectors.

For example: in figure below, 𝑎 = ⃗⃗⃗⃗

8.1.4 Standard Basis Representation


Standard Base Vectors in Two Dimensional (ℝ𝟐 )

 An alternative way of representing a vector is in terms of vectors that are parallel to


coordinates axes and have length 1.
 These vectors are called base vectors (basis vectors).
 The base vector 𝑖 is a vector with initial point (0,0) and terminal point (1,0). It has
magnitude 1 and is in the positive 𝑥 direction.
 The base vector 𝑗 is a vector with initial point (0,0) and terminal point (0,1). It has
magnitude 1 and is in the positive 𝑦 direction.
 Any vectors in ℝ2 can be expressed as a linear combination of the base vectors 𝑖 and
𝑗 where 𝑖 =< 1,0 > and 𝑗 =< 0,1 > .

Vectors in two dimensions such as 𝑎 =< 𝑎1, 𝑎2 > 𝑦


can be written as 𝑎 = 𝑎1 𝑖 + 𝑎2 𝑗

8.1.5 Position Vectors: Vectors in Two-Dimensional System
 The most common representation of vectors is based on the Cartesian coordinate
system. All vectors can be written as a sum of horizontal and vertical components
parallel to the Cartesian coordinate axes.
 Consider the point 𝐴(𝑎1 , 𝑎2 ), the vector ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝑂𝐴 with the initial point at the origin (0,0) is
called the position vector for the point 𝐴.
 Position vectors are vectors giving the position of a point, relative to a fixed point (the

** It is important to understand the difference between coordinates of point 𝐴 for example


(2,9), and position vector of point 𝐴 which is < 2,9 >.

 All position vectors have the initial point at the origin while a free vector has no
specific location.
 A free vector can be represented by any one of a set of equal and parallel line
segments.
 For example, free vector 𝑣 can be represented by 𝑅𝑇 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ and ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ and ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

8.1.6 Magnitude of a Vector
The magnitude of a vector is the distance between the initial and terminal points.
It is represented by the length of the directed line segment and can be determined using
Pythagoras theorem.

𝑎2 𝑗

𝑥
𝑎1 𝑖

Consider the vector 𝑎 = 𝑎1 𝑖 + 𝑎2 𝑗, the magnitude of the horizontal component 𝑎1 𝑖 is 𝑎1 and


the magnitude of the vertical component 𝑎2 𝑗 is 𝑎2 .

Using Pythagoras theorem, (|𝑎|)2 = 𝑎1 2 + 𝑎2 2 , where |𝑎| is the magnitude of 𝑎.


Thus, the magnitude (length) of a position vector 𝑎 =< 𝑎1, 𝑎2 > is denoted by

|𝑎| = √𝑎12 + 𝑎22

Definition:

The dot product of two vectors 𝑎⃗ = 𝑎1 𝑖⃗ + 𝑎2 𝑗⃗ and 𝑏⃗⃗ = 𝑏1 𝑖⃗ + 𝑏2 𝑗⃗, in ℝ2 is defined by

𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗ = 𝑎1 𝑏1 + 𝑎2 𝑏2

Note:
𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗ is positive when the angle 𝜃 between the vectors is acute and negative when the is
obtuse.

Properties of dot product:

1. 𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗ = 𝑏⃗⃗ ∙ 𝑎⃗ (commutative law)

2. 𝑎⃗ ∙ (𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗ ) = 𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑐⃗ (distributive law)

3. (𝑘𝑎⃗) ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗ = 𝑘 (𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑏⃗⃗) = 𝑎⃗ ∙ (𝑘 𝑏⃗⃗)

4. ⃗0⃗ ∙ 𝑎⃗ = 0

5. 𝑎⃗ ∙ 𝑎⃗ = |𝑎⃗|2

We can use the definition to obtain the following results:

6. If the two vectors 𝑎⃗ and 𝑏⃗⃗ are parallel and in the same direction,

⃗⃗ ∙ ⃗𝒃⃗ = |𝒂
then 𝜃 = 0 and cos 𝜃 = cos 0 = 1. Hence, 𝒂 ⃗⃗| 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝜽.
