It is a site for parents, students and teachers. This site can help O-LEVEL or GCSE secondary school students in mastering mathematics subject. It intends to involve the learners by making them follow up the examples before they can do questions on their own at the TRY THIS.... section. There are some videos, tests, quizzes and past examination questions. Learning the examples will ultimately give students the required confidence in solving various questions in mathematics.

DIRECT VARIATION F1
x is
directly proportional to y. x=12 while y=4. Find y when x is 93.
Solution
x ⍺ y
x = ky
12 = k x 4
12 = 4k
4 4
k = 3
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
k = 3, y= ?
x = 93.
93 = 3 x y
93 = 3y

x is
directly proportional to y. x=20 while y=5. Find y when x is 100.
Ans. y=25
FACTORIZE F1
Factorize 144x2 - 169y2
Solution
we use difference of two squares a2 – b2 = (a - b)(a + b)
144x2- 169y2
= 122x2 - 132y2
=
(12x)2 - (13y)2
=
(12x - 13y)( 12x + 13y)
Hence 144x2 - 169y2 = (12x - 13y)(12x +
13y)

FACTORIZE E2
Factorize completely qc + qr - cr - c2.
Solution
=
qc + qr - cr - c2.
=
(qc + qr) – (cr - c2). [Grouping the
factors]
=
q(c + r) - c(r + c). [after factoring
out]
=
(c + r)(q - c).
Hence qc + qr - cr - c2. = (c + r)(q - c).

QUADRATICS E1
What must be added to x2 + 8x to make the expression a perfect
square?
Solution
a=1, b=8,c=?
b2 = 4ac
(8)2 = 4 x 1 x c
64 = 4c
64 = 4c
4 4
16 = c
Hence number to be added is 16

RELATIONS E1
Let R={(7,23), (0,11), (-2,-5), (14,-20)}. Find the domain and range of R.
solution
For domain we
check on the values of x in each point.
Domain={7, 0,
-2, 14}
For range we
check on the values of y in each point.
Range={23, 11,
-5, -20}
Hence
Domain={7, 0, -2, 14} and Range = {23, 11, -5, -20}

LOGARITHMS E2
Change the following into exponential form
i) Log7
49 = 2
ii) Log2 16 = 4
iii) Log8
1 = 0
iv) log5
(1/125) = -3
Solution
i) 72
= 49 ⇔ log7 49 = 2
ii) 24 = 16 ⇔ Log2 16 = 4
iii) 80 = 1 ⇔ log8 1 = 0
iv) 5-3 = 1/125 ⇔ log5
(1/125) = -3

LOGARITHMS E1
Evaluate Log100 + log 0.001 - log 0.00000001
Solution
= Log1000 + log 0.001
- log 0.00000001
= Log103 + log
10-3 – log 10-8
= 3Log10 + (-3 log 10) –
(-8log 10)
= (3x1) + (-3x1) - (-8x1)
=3 + (-3) – (-8)
= 3 – 3 + 8
=8
Hence Log100 + log 0.001-
log 0.00000001 = 7

PROFIT AND LOSS E1
A man got a profit of 2800/=
after selling an item. Find the buying price if the percentage profit was 10%.
Solution
%’ge profit = Profit X
100 where B. P. represents
Buying Price.
B.P
10% = 2800 X
100
B.P.
10% = 280,000
B.P.
B.P. x 10% = 280,000 x B.P.
B.P.
B.P. x 10 = 280,000
B.P. x 101 = 280,000 [dividing by 10 both sides]
110 10
B.P. = 28,000
Hence Buying Price was 28,000/=
