CHAPTER 1 (3x+ 4) (x - 4)
Example 3, factorize 6x2+ x – 22
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
Solution
An equation is an expression used to find
6x2+ x – 22
unknown e. g x-a= 6
6x2- 11x-12x- 22
Quadratic equations are equations whose
highest power (exponent or degree) is 2. x(6x-11) +2 (6x-11)
e. g 2x2 −2x-3=0, ax2+bx+c are quadratic (x+ 2) (6x - 11)
FACTORISING QUADRATIC EQUATION EXERCISE
Factors are numbers which can be multiplied to Factorize the following
give a product.
1. x2+ x – 12
For example 12=4×3, in this case 4 and 3 are 2. 2x2-3 x +1
factors while 12 is a product 3. 2x2+ 17x + 30
4. x2- xy +6y2
Example 1; factorize x2+7x+6
Solution
FACTOSING USING DIFFERENT OF TWO
In the expression, 6 is constant SQUARES
We need two numbers whose sum is 7 and A square is a product found when you multiply
product is 6 the number by itself once.
The numbers we want are 1 and 6 e. g 25= 5 x 5
𝑥2 = 𝑥 × 𝑥
So x2+7x+6= x2+x +6x+6
A general formula for factorizing using different
= x(x+1) 16(x+1)
of two squares.
= (x+1) (x+6)
(A2 - B2)= (A+B) (A-B)
Example 2,factorize 3x2-8x-16
EXAMPLES
Solution
1. Factorize; a2-4
3x2-8x-16 Solution
a2 - 22
3x16=48, so we need to find two factors that A= a, B= 2
their summation should be -8 and their product (a +2) (a -2)
should be 48. 2. 4a2- 9
Factors are -12 and 4, Solution
3x2- 12x+ 4x- 16 (2a)2 - 32
3x(x - 4) + 4(x - 4) A=2a, B=3

4a2- 9= (2a+3) (2a- 3) x (x+3) = 0

x=0 or x+3=0
3. 2x2-18y
x= -3
Solution
2. Solve x2 - 5x + 6 =0
2x2-18y2=2x2-18y²
=2 (x2-(3y)2)
Solution
A= x, B= 3y
X2 - 5x + 6 =0
2x -18y2=2(x+3y) (x- 3y)
2
x2 - 2x -3x+6=0
NB: Different of two cubes and sum of two cubes x (x-2) -3(x-2)=0
are applied sometimes. The general formula; (x - 2) (x - 3) =0
(x - 2)=0 or (x - 3)= 0
A3- B3= (A-B) (A2+AB+B2)
X= 2 x= 3
A3+ B3= (A+B) (A2-AB+B2)
3. Solve 3x2-2x-8= 0
EXAMPLE
1. Factorize; r3-8 = r3- 23 Solution
A=r, B=2 3x2-2x-8= 0
3x2 - 6x +4x- 8=0
r3- 8=(r-2) (r2+2r+22) 3x(x-2) +4(x-2) =0
=(r-2) (r2+2r+4) (x - 2) (3x +4) =0
x – 2= 0 or 3x + 4=0
2. Factorize; 1-27y3= 13- (3y)3 x= 2 3x= - 4
A= 1, B=3y −4
x=
1-27y3= (1-3y) (12+3y+(3y)2) 3

= (1-3y) (1+3y+9y2)
EXERCISE 4. Solve x2 – 4 =0
Solution
1. 16- y2 x2 – 4 =0 = x2 - 22
2. 49x2-16 = (x + 2) (x - 2) = 0
3. (x2-x- 8)2- 4(2x-1)2 = x + 2 = 0 or x – 2 = 0
4. x3 + 1 x= - 2 x=2
5. Solve 2r2- 18 = 0
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY
Solution
FACTORIZATION
2r2- 18 = 0
To solve quadratic equations, we need to Divide by 2
factorize first then equate each factor to zero. r2 - 9= 0
r2 – 32= 0
EXAMPLES
(r - 3) (r + 3) = 0
1. Solve x2 + 3x =0 r = 3 or r = -3

COMPLETING THE SQUARE SOLVING BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE.

A square is a product we get after multiplying a Solving by completing the square we factorize by
number by itself once e.g completing the square first.

3 x 3 =9 or 6 x 6 = 36 EXAMPLE

Completing the square refers to changing a Solve the following by completing the square
quadratic equation to the form a (x + b)2 + c. 1. x2+ 4x – 5= 0
When completing the square, multiply the 2. x2- 7x + 2= 0
coefficient of x by half, then add and subtract the Solutions
result while being squared. 1. x2+ 4x – 5= 0

Brackets are introduced to prevent subtracting (x + 4)2- 4 – 5= 0

FUNCTIONS
𝑓(1) = 1 + 3= 4
A function is a special kind of relation. It is a rule 𝑓 (2) = 2 + 3= 5
which assigns to each element x of a set A just 𝑓(3) = 3 + 3= 6
one element of a set B. 𝑓(4) = 4 + 3= 7
𝑓 (5)= 5 + 3= 8

∴ Q = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

𝑎

To make unknown variable subject, it must have
coefficient and power 1and all the other terms 2𝑏+3𝑥
and numbers must go to the other side of the 3. 𝑎 = 3𝑏−2𝑥
equation 𝑎(3𝑏 − 2𝑥) = 2𝑏 + 3𝑥

In the equation𝑥 = 2𝑦 − 3 , x is the subject while 3𝑎𝑏 − 2𝑎𝑥 = 2𝑏 + 3𝑥

y is not.
3𝑎𝑏 − 2𝑏 = 3𝑥 + 2𝑎𝑥
STEPS TO FOLLOW
3𝑎𝑏 − 2𝑏 = 𝑥(3 + 2𝑎)
i. Begin by clearing fractions, brackets and 3𝑎𝑏−2𝑏

ii. Rearrange the formula so that all the 𝑏(3𝑎−2)

on one side of the equals sign and the rest
on the other EXERCISE
iii. If more than one term contain the subject, Make the letter in the bracket subject

Ways of showing data from the frequency table

1. Histogram
2. Frequency polygon

HISTOGRAM

 It uses rectangles/ bars.

 The area of a triangle is proportional to
frequency
 The width of rectangles are equal in each
bar.

PIE CHART = 20o
A pie chart is a circular way of showing data in
relation to the whole data.

The circle represents the total, each slice

represents the named parts of the data.

EXAMPLE
1. At a certain political meeting, a
researcher observed that out of 90
people, 30 people had black shirts, 20 had
blue shirts, 10 had white shirts, 5 had no
shirts. Show the information on a pie chat.

b. 1. 2hour = 120 minutes c. What percentage of pupils had their

STATISTICS
RANGE
It’s the difference between the highest and the
lowest score. E. g. 10, 2, 7, 100, 20
Range =100-2
= 98
EXAMPLE
1. At the end of term, the lowest in the
mathematics test was 34%. The range is
52%. How many marks did the top
student score?
Solution
Range = highest – lowest
52%= highest -34%
52%+ 34%= highest
∴ Highest = 86%
INTERQUATILE RANGE
It is the difference between lower quartile and
upper quartile.
The score at the middle of the lower half of score

1. A car starts from the rest and is uniformly
accelerated at 5m/s2 until it attains a
velocity of 30m/s. It maintains this
velocity for 120s after which it is brought
to the rest in another 90s. Sketch the
velocity time graph for this motion and
use it to find the distance covered.

AREA OF A PRISM

The surface area of any prism is the sum of areas

of all its faces.

To find surface area of the prism we work out

the areas of all faces and add them up.

EXAMPLE
Length of rect. =length of circumf. = 2𝜋𝑟
Find the surface area of the prism below lengths
are in cm Area of a rect. = length ×height

∴ Area of a cylinder= 2𝜋𝑟

But the area of a circle =𝜋𝑟²

∴ Surface area of a cylinder (open at one end)

=2𝜋𝑟ℎ + 𝜋𝑟²

Surface area of a cylinder closed at both

ends=2𝝅𝒓𝒉 + 𝟐𝝅𝒓²
1
Area of ∆ ABC= ×4×3 = 6cm²
2 = 2𝝅𝒓(𝒉 + 𝒓)

∴ ∆ FED=6cm² EXAMPLE

at one end. The cartridge is 70mm long
Area of a rect. ABEF=4×10=40cm² and has a diameter of 14mm. find the
