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.

BODMAS F1
Evaluate
90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4
Solution
We
apply BODMAS.
=
90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4
=
90 + 50 x 3 – 20 [After dividing]
=
90 + 150 – 20 [After multiplying]
=
240 – 20 [After adding]
=
220 [After subtracting]
Hence
90 + 50 x 3 – 80 ÷ 4 = 220

LOGARITHMS F5
Evaluate Log60 – Log0.42 + Log700.
Solution
= Log60 – Log0.42 + Log700.
= Log(60 x 700)
0.42
= Log(42000)
0.42
= Log(4200000)
42
= Log 100,000
= Log10100,000
= Log10105
= 5Log1010
= 5 x 1
= 5
∴ Log60 – Log0.03 + Log50 = 4

BANKING F1
Asad
deposited the amount of 200,000/= in a bank for 3 years and got a profit of 66000/=.
Find the interest rate?
Solution
I
= 66000/=, P = 200,000/=, T = 3 years, R = ?
I = PRT
100
66,000 = 200000 x R x 3
100
66,000 = 200000 x R x 3
100
66,000 = 2000 x R x 3
66,000 = 6000R
1166,000
= 6000R
6000 6000
Hence the interest rate was 11%

EXPONENTIALS F2
If y5 = 6, find y15.
Solution
= y15
= (y5)3
= (6)3 remember y5
= 6
= 6 x 6 x 6
= 216
Hence y10 = 121.
TRY THIS……………….
If y15 = 4, find y60.
LOGARITHMS F3
If Logax = 4, find Loga(1/x44)
Solution
= Loga(1/x44)
= Logax-44 [since 1/an = a-n]
= -44 x Logax [since Logaxn = nLogax ]
= -44 x 4
= -176

If Logab= 12, find Loga(1/b20)
SIMPLIFY F1
Simplify
the expression w2 -
t2/ (w + t)
Solution
From difference of two squares p2 - q2 =
(p - q)(p + q)
= w2 - t2/ (w + t)
= (w + t)(w - t)
w + t
= (w + t)(w - t)
w + t
= w - t answer

FACTORIZE F1
Factorize completely 2t – 98t3
Solution
=
2t – 98t3
=
2t(1 – 49t2)
=
2t(1 – 72t2)
=
2t[(1)2 – (7t)2]
From
difference of two squares, a2 – b2 = (a-b)(a+b)
=
2t[(1 – 7t)(1 + 7t)]
=
2t(1 – 7t)(1 + 7t) answer
