Long Division Method Summary

LONG DIVISION METHOD

Steps


1. The rule of LDM is :

and..



So here is an example:

Step 1



Step 2 Multiply (In this case : x^3(x-3))


Step 3 : Bring down the answer


Step 4 : subtract


Step 5 : Repeat the steps with the other Variables


Step 6 : Repetition of steps 2 -4 


Final answer !


Since Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder




Things to take note of:

Dividend MUST be in descending index form (x^4,x^3,x^2,x,constant)

IF the equation is similar to e.g. x^5-1 / x-3,

then the dividend used in LDM should be 

( x^5 + 0x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 + 0x - 1 ) / ( x - 3 )

So that dividend is arranged in descending index form

THATS ALL!!! :D

Lesson 5 11012013

In Class, we covered page 24-27.

Homework Assigned: Practice 6b pg 28.
Readings for next week lesson: Pg 29 (Range of a function)

We will start 1.2 from page 35 onwards next.

Function in Graphs

Example of function

   From this graph, we can tell that the vertical line will only touches one point of the graph and hence it is qualified as a function





















 From this C-shaped graph, the vertical line will always touch 2 points of this graph and hence it is not qualified as a function because it has 2 possible output.

Lesson 4 10012013


Introduction to functions
If you need to read up more on basic introduction to function, here's a good reference site:
http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/function.html 

Task
Now that you have a good basic understanding of function, start geogebra and create two separate graphs of a function and a non-function. Post the screen captures of the two graphs, together with the following details as caption:

  • command you entered in geogebra
  • whether your graph is a function or a non-function

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

by Mr Johari

Welcome to an exciting year 2013
Success comes with adequate preparation and as a start do take note of the following.

1. Know your Syllabus for 2013.
    Elementary Mathematics 4016 (SEAB site)
    Additional Mathematics 4038 (SEAB site)

2. Right Resources.
    SST Maths Note (Sec 3 term 1)
    Optional Reference Book
    Calculator (with approved SST seal)
    SST Foolscap paper and graph papers (for assignments)
    ICT Resources (Class Maths Blog, ACE Learning, graphing tools etc)

3. Assessment for 2013
    Term 1   Level Test 1 + Authentic Assessment         10% + 10%
    Term 2   Common Test 1                                         20%
    Term 3   Level Test 2 + Authentic Assessment         10% + 10%
    Term 4   End of Year Summative Assessment          40%
  
4. Diagnostic Test will be conducted as Follows:
    Beginning of new topic
       - to assess prerequisite knowledge and linkages to new knowledge
    End of topic
       - to assess level of understanding and competency
    duration - 20 -30 minutes

5. Daily learning and monitoring platforms
    Class work -  in the form of activities and practice questions
    Assignment - to be done on SST foolscap papers
                         (or SST exercise books - pending style of teacher)
    all classwork to be completed within designated time

6. Character is Destiny
    Your destiny should begin with your daily routines
    A.   Be Present
    B.   Listen without Prejudice
    C.   Be Socially Aware (we are after all living in a gregarious community)
    D.   Manage your impulses
    E.   Know that the choice that you have chosen has its own consequences
