Kenneth Morley has been a Mathematics


Teacher for over 25 years. He has taught the
age range 11 - 19. He graduated with an Upper
Second Bachelor of Science Honours degree in
Mathematical Sciences (subjects included
pure/ applied mathematics, statistics, numerical
analysis and computing). He acquired a Post
Graduate Certificate in Mathematical Education
shortly afterwards. Both qualifications were gained in the United
Kingdom.

A Message from the Tutor


Thank for you buying this e-tutorial. The tutorial comprises of ten
tutorial lessons, and two review tutorial lessons all with
comprehensive solutions
One of my principal aims is to create a quality product. A great deal
of time went into viewing the suitability of questions, relating
examples to questions and sequencing questions in order of
difficulty. I gave a great deal of attention to the solutions, making
them as comprehensive as possible so that they can easily be
followed.
All the lessons have been tested in the classroom and have worked
well. I have found that with standard textbooks, quite often the
exercise questions do not relate to the given examples. Also difficult
questions seem to appear randomly, sometimes near the beginning
of the exercise, rather than at the end. Standard textbooks only give
brief answers and not fully worked solutions.

Lesson 01
Basic Processes of Algebra
In algebra, letters are used instead of numbers. The letters are called
variables, as they can take any value (hence vary). Numbers are
called constants, because they only have one value (does not
change)

Collecting Like Terms


Examples
Simplify :
1. 3x + y - 2x + 3y

Substitution
We can give letters values, by substitution:

2. 2x + y - 3x - 5y
3. 2x x 3y

Examples

4. 2x x 3x

Given x = 2 and y = -3 evaluate:

5. 3xy xy

1. x + y

6. 4xy 2xy

2. 2x - y

Solutions

3. 3x y

3x - 2x + y + 3y = x + 4y

4. xy

2x - 3x + y - 5y = -x - 4y

(x + 2)(x + 5) = x + 2x + 5x + 10 = x + 7x + 10

11 (3x + 5)(3x - 5) = 9x + 15x - 15x - 25 = 9x - 25

(x + 4)(x + 4) = x + 4x + 4x + 16 = x + 8x + 16

12 (4x - 3)(4x + 3) = 16x - 12x +12x - 9 = 16x - 9

(x + 5)(x - 1) = x + 5x - x - 5 = x + 4x - 5

13 (1 - x)(1 + 2x) = 1 - x + 2x - 2x = 1 + x - 2x

(x + 4)(2x + 1) = 2x + 8x + x + 4 = 2x + 9x + 4

14 (1 + x)(1 - 3x) = 1 + x - 3x - 3x = 1 - 2x - 3x

(2x + 1)(x + 3) = 2x + x + 6x + 3 = 2x + 7x + 3

15 (2 - 3x)(3 + 2x) = 6 - 9x + 4x - 6x = 6 - 5x - 6x

(3x + 1)(x - 1) = 3x + x - 3x - 1 = 3x - 2x - 1

16 (5 - 4x)(1 + x) = 5 - 4x + 5x - 4x = 5 + x - 4x

(3x - 1)(x - 1) = 3x - x - 3x + 1 = 3x - 4x + 1

17 (4 + x)(3 + 4x) = 12 + 3x + 16x + 4x = 12 + 19x + 4x

(4x + 5)(x - 3) = 4x + 5x - 12x - 15 = 4x - 7x - 15

18 (1 + x2)(1 - x2) = 1 + x - x - x4 = 1 - x4

(2x - 1)(2x - 1) = 4x - 2x - 2x + 1 = 4x - 4x + 1

19 (1 - x2)(1 + 2x2) = 1 - x + 2x - 2x4 = 1 + x - 2x4

A satellite of mass 200kg is moving in free space. It fires its


propulsion rockets a series of three times. The first time it
accelerates 3x m/s2, the second time it accelerates 2y m/s2, and
the final time it accelerates 4y m/s2. The total force applied is
2,400N.
Given F = ma (force = mass x acceleration) Write down an
expression in x and y for the total force applied to the satellite
and simplify it.

8x + 16

3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5

3x2 - 3x

3 + (-4) = 3 - 4 = -1

8x3 + 20x2

-2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2

6x5 - 4x2

3 + (-2) + (-4) = 3 - 2 - 4 = -3

35x6 + 21x4
