Grade 12 Maths Essentials Exponents and Surds SCIENCE CLINIC 2022 © WHAT ARE: LAWS OF EXPONENTS Exponents: Exponents occur when multiplying or dividing expressions/ Laws of exponents only apply to multiplication, division, brackets and roots. NEVER adding or subtracting bases/variables numerous times by similar expressions/bases/variables Surds: A surd is the Mathematical terminology for irrational roots, when Algebraic Notation Exponential Notation Exponential Law in operation numbers are left in “root-form” as opposed to rounding them off to a deci- mal place. 1 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 16 = 24 When we MULTIPLY the SAME bases we ADD the exponents. HELPFUL HINTS FOR EQUATIONS\EXPRESSIONS F 1. Express larger numbers in exponential form by prime factorising 2 64 26 When we DIVIDE the SAME bases we MINUS the exponents (always top = 4 = 22 2. Remove a common factor if two unlike terms are separated by a +/- 16 24 minus bottom). 3. Ensure your surds are always expressed in their simplest form 3 When we have the exponents outside the BRACKETS we DISTRIBUTE 4. Express surds in exponential form for simplification 43 = 64 (22 )3 = 26 5. Take note of the following: them into the brackets. A common error, when solving for an unknown base with a fraction as 4 64 26 an exponent, is to multiply the exponents on both sides by the unknown = 1 = 20 = 1 Any base to the POWER OF ZERO is equal to one. (But 00 is undefined). 64 26 exponent’s inverse (so that the exponent will be 1). However, if you ex- press these fractions as surds, you will notice the following: 5 3 3 a. An even power will always produce a positive AND negative solution 64 = 4 26 = 22 The POWER inside the root is DIVIDED by the size of the root. 4 x3 = 3 6 4 × 9 = 36 22 × 32 = 62 3 x4 = 3 When we have non-identical bases, but identical exponents, we keep the exponents and multiply the bases.

Sum or difference of two cubes: Remove the highest common factor from the coefficients and Applied when there are two perfect squares separated by a ‘−’ sign. Applied when there are two perfect cubes separated by a + /−.The common variables. The square root of both terms will be in both pairs of brackets, one final answer will be a binomial in the one bracket and a trinomial in with a + and the other with a − the other. EXAMPLES A perfect square is a term whose number will not leave an irrational A perfect cube is a term whose number will not leave an irrational solution once square-rooted, and whose exponents are divisible by 2. solution once cube-rooted, and whose exponents are divisible by 3.

Grade 12 Maths Essentials Statistics SCIENCE CLINIC 2022 © THE LEAST SQUARES REGRESSION LINE EXAMPLE: A line can be drawn through the points to determine if there is a significant negative or Determine the equation of the least square regression line in the form ŷ = a + bx positive correlation on a scatter plot. A line of best fit will not represent the data per- fectly, but it will give you an idea of the trend. The line of best fit is also called a regres- Step 1: Complete the table as indicated by the column headings: sion line.

The straight line minimizes the sum of squared errors. Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line when we square each of those errors and add them all up, the total is as small as possible. ŷ = a + bx ŷ = 2,2 + 0,6x Follow us on Instagram: @science.clinic Visit www.scienceclinic.co.za to download a free copy of these SmartPrep summaries, or to join interactive online Maths & Science classes.

Another athlete completes the 100m sprint in 12,3 seconds and his best jump is 8,5 7,6m. If this is included in the data will the gradient of the least squares regres- sion line increase or decrease? Motivate your answer without using calculations. Distance of best long jump (im metres) The gradient will increase, the distance point will be much higher than the ones 8 around that time. 4.
