Educor has embarked on an exciting new initiative – Academic Advising Centre. This centre provides the vital
additional student support in order to ensure that our students are given the optimum potential to manage their
studies in order to achieve their dreams.
The Academic Advising Centre (AAC) is your college’s way of providing quality student support. Academic Advising is a
deliberate and collaborative partnership between the AAC, the Academic Adviser and the student. It is also a systematic
process of student-adviser relationship intended to support students in developing to their maximum potential.
Academic Advisers provide academic assistance and individualised attention to promote each student's success.
However, successful Academic Advising requires equal commitment, dedication and engagement of all partners. Each
partner has specific roles and responsibilities.
The Academic Advising Centre’s Role
The AAC’s key role is to nurture a campus community that promotes student success.
The Adviser's role is to mentor the student to reach his/her full potential.
Schedule advising sessions with students.
Identifying challenges/gaps in a student’s learning experience.
Providing ways to overcome challenges/gaps.
Deliver a passion and desire for learning.
Student’s Role
The Student is an equal partner in the advising process. As a Student you are ultimately responsible for your educational
choices and decisions. You are expected to:
Clarify personal values, abilities, interests, and goals for your academics and life.
Schedule regular appointments with your Adviser as required or when in need of assistance.
Be well prepared for advising sessions and have the appropriate resources or materials. It is useful to maintain your
own Advising Portfolio including your educational plan and other details.
Build a list of questions and have them ready for the Adviser to ensure meaningful discussions.
Become knowledgeable and adhere to institutional policies, procedures, and requirements.
Be open and receptive to talking with your Adviser as all information is treated with strict confidence.
Create and maintain an interactive environment encouraging mutua l trust.
Refer all administrative queries to your Academic Manager.
VERY IMPORTANT: AAC calls will be reflected as 0873590976 on your mobile phone. It is an outbound centre so you
will not be able to dial in using that number. Contact details will be exchanged upon contact with your Adviser.

MODULE 1: LIMITS AND CONTINUITY
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of this module the students should be able to:
0 ∞
1. Apply L ’Hospital’s rule if the quotient is in one of the following forms: ; ; ∞ − ∞
0 ∞
2. Express the conditions for continuity
3. Determine the continuity or discontinuity of a given function at a given point.
1.1 Theorem of limits
The following are the theorems used on limits
1. lim 𝑘(𝑓)𝑥 = 𝑘 lim 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
2. lim [𝑓(𝑥) ± 𝑔(𝑥)] = lim 𝑓(𝑥) ± lim 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
3. lim 𝑘 = 𝑘
𝑥→𝑎
4. lim[𝑓(𝑥). 𝑔(𝑥)] = lim 𝑓(𝑥) . lim 𝑔(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
lim 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑓(𝑥) 𝑥→𝑎
5. lim = 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 lim 𝑔(𝑥) ≠ 0
𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥) lim 𝑔(𝑥) 𝑥→𝑎
𝑥→𝑎

6. lim √𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑛√ lim 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
𝑐
7. lim =∞
𝑥→0 𝑥 𝑛
𝑐
8. lim =0
𝑥→∞ 𝑥 𝑛
From theorems 2 to 6 we can deduce that it does not make any difference whether we:
First simplify and then take the limit (left-hand side of the theorem); or
First take the limit and then simplify.

1.2.2 Dividing limits in the form
∞
To eliminate division by ∞ we must divide the numerator and denominator by the highest power 𝑥 in the
denominator. From this we can deduce that this method can only be applied to algebraic expression.

1.4 Continuity
Continuous means without interruption. If there is an interruption at a certain point in a graph, the function
becomes discontinuous at that point.
A function 𝑓 is defined as continuous at 𝑎 if the lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎)
𝑥→𝑎
Therefore 𝑓 is continuous at 𝑎 if
𝑓 is defined at 𝑎
lim 𝑓(𝑥) exists
𝑥→𝑎
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎)
𝑥→𝑎
𝒈(𝒙)
A function of the form is continuous for all cases except, h(x)=0.
𝒉(𝒙)
1. Example
Determine whether 𝑓 with 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 − 4 at 𝑥 = 2
1. Solution
𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 − 4
∴ 𝑓(2) = 3(2)2 − 4
=8
lim(3𝑥 2 − 4)
𝑥→2
= 3(2)2 − 4 = 8
∴ 𝑓 is continuous at 𝑥 = 2
2. Example

The binomial theorem
This is used when we are calculating the differentiation from first principles of an algebraic function with an
exponent with a negative number or a fraction.

NB: When the questions are about differentiation using the product, quotient and/or chain rule, they generally
state that simplification is NOT required. Hence you are NOT supposed to simplify.
2.2.5 Implicit differentiation
A function such as y x 3x3 x 5 is called an explicit function as y is explicitly given in terms of x .
5
A function such as x 3x y xy 5 y 3x 15 is called an implicit function as y is not given explicitly in
5 3 2
terms of x nor x in terms of y .
An implicit function can be differentiated with respect to x as it stands.

Example 2
Find the equation of the gradient of the curve 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥𝑦 − 𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 10 at the point where x 1
Solution 2
First we need to find the value of y when x 1
Putting x 1 we get 12 + 2(1)𝑦 − (1) + 3𝑦 = 10 which gives y = 2

2.2.6 Logarithmic differentiation
Consider the following four expressions: 𝑥 𝑛 , 𝑒 𝑥 , 𝑎 𝑥 and𝑥 𝑥 . We have already done the first three types. 𝑥 𝑥 differs
because the variable 𝑥 exits in the base and the exponent.
We can easily change the expressions of the form 𝑥 𝑥 to a form that we can differentiate by using logarithms.
Remember:
log(𝑎. 𝑏) = log 𝑎 + log 𝑏
𝑎
log = log 𝑎 − log 𝑏
𝑏
log 𝑎𝑚 = 𝑚 log 𝑎
Example 1
Differentiate 𝑦 = 𝑥 sin 𝑥 with respect to 𝑥

2.2.7 Differentiating inverse trigonometry functions
sin−1 𝑥 Represents the inverse sine function of 𝑥. It can also be written as 𝑎𝑟𝑐 sin 𝑥.
Generally, we say that the natural trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions “cancel” each other.

MODULE 3: APPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENTIATION
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of this module the students should be able to:
1. Determine an estimated value of any root of a given function from a table and/or a sketch
𝑓(𝑥1 )
2. Use the formulae 𝑒 = − [ ] and 𝑥2 = 𝑥1 + 𝑒 to determine a better estimation of the roots.
𝑓𝑥2
3. Solve problems involving optimisation.
4. Apply differentiation to problems involving rate of change.
5. Apply differentiation to problems involving the rate of change of two related variables with respect to time
where it is not necessary to express any of the variables directly as a function of the time.
3.1 Estimating irrational roots
3.1.1 Use of tables
We can use a table of values to determine where an irrational root lies. When there is a change of sign on the y-
value (from + to – or vice versa), then there is a root between the corresponding x-values.
Example 1
Use the table method (with x ranging from -3 to 3) to determine where the roots of the following equation lie: 𝑦 =
𝑥 3 − 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 2
Solution 1
x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
y -22 -2 4 2 -2 -2 8
Since there is a change of sign in y (-2 to 4), it means there is a root between x = -2 and x = -1
Also, there is a root between x = 0 and x = 1(as there is a sign change in y from 2 to -2)
There is a 3rd root between x = 2 and x = 3.
3.1.2 Use of sketch
When you sketch a graph, the point when the graph cuts the x- axis is where a root lies.
Example 2
Sketch the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 2 and estimate the roots of the equation: 𝑥 3 − 𝑥 2 = 4𝑥 − 2
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Page 23 of 60
CTC: STUDY GUIDE MATHEMATICS N5 VERSION 5 2019
Solution 2
Since the graph cuts the x-axis very close to -2, first estimate can be ≈ -1,9.
2nd and 3rd estimates can be 0,5 and 2,1 respectively.
3.1.3 Taylor/Newton method
A better approximation can be obtained by using the Taylor/Newton method
𝑓(𝑥𝑛 )
𝑥𝑛+1 = 𝑥𝑛 − 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑛 = 1,2,3 …
𝑓 ′(𝑥𝑛 )
3.2 Maxima and minima
The following steps represent a possible procedure for solving this type of problem.
1. Allocate symbols to the variable involved
2. Determine a formula for the required variable
3. Use conditions in the problem to reduce the problem to two variables
4. Determine the interval of possible values for the variable from physical restrictions
5. Use the techniques of maximum and minimum values to solve the equation.
Example
Divide 80 into two parts such that the product of the one and the square of the other is a maximum.
Solution
Let one part be 𝑥.
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Page 24 of 60
CTC: STUDY GUIDE MATHEMATICS N5 VERSION 5 2019
Then the other part is 80 − 𝑥
Product = (80 − 𝑥)𝑥 2
∴ 𝑃 = 80𝑥 2 − 𝑥 3
For a maximum or minimum product:
𝑑𝑃
=0
𝑑𝑥
𝑑
∴ (80𝑥 2 − 𝑥 3 ) = 0
𝑑𝑥
∴ 160𝑥 − 3𝑥 2 = 0
∴𝑥=0 𝑜𝑟 160 − 3𝑥 = 0
∴ 3𝑥 = 160
∴ 𝑥 = 53.333
Test for maximum or minimum:
𝑑2𝑃 𝑑
2
= 160𝑥 − 3𝑥 2
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
∴ 𝑓′′(𝑥) = 160 − 6𝑥
∴ 𝑓′′(0) = 160 − 0
> 0 ∴ a minimum product
And 𝑓 ′′ (53.333) = 160 − 6(53.333)
< 0 ∴ a maximum product
∴ 𝑥 = 53.333
And 80 − 𝑥 = 80 − 53.333
= 26.667
3.3 Rate of change and related ratios
If 𝑠 = displacement, 𝑣 = velocity, 𝑎 = acceleration and 𝑡 = time, then:
𝑑𝑠 𝑑𝑣 𝑑2 𝑠
= 𝑣 And 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑑𝑡 2 = 𝑎
𝑑𝑡
Example
An object is projected vertically upwards (against gravity). Its displacement (𝑠) in meters during a time (𝑡) in
seconds is given by:
𝑠 = 40𝑡 − 5𝑡 2
Calculate
1. The velocity after 2 s.
2. The acceleration after 2 s.
3. The maximum height
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Page 25 of 60
CTC: STUDY GUIDE MATHEMATICS N5 VERSION 5 2019
4. The time taken to reach a maximum height.
5. The displacement after 6 s.
6. The distance travelled during 6 s.
Solution
1. 𝑠 = 40𝑡 − 5𝑡 2
∴ 𝑓(𝑡) = 40𝑡 − 5𝑡 2
∴ 𝑓′(𝑡) = 40 − 10𝑡
∴ 𝑓′(2) = 40 − 10(2)
= 20 𝑚/𝑠
2. 𝑓 ′(𝑡) = 40 − 10𝑡
∴ 𝑓 ′′(𝑡) = −10
∴ 𝑓 ′′(2) = −10 𝑚/𝑠
3. For a maximum height
𝑓 ′(𝑡) = 0
∴ 40 − 10𝑡 = 0
∴ 𝑡 = 4𝑠
4. 𝑓(𝑡) = 40𝑡 − 5𝑡 2
∴ 𝑓(4) = 40(4) − 5(4)2
= 160 − 80
= 80 𝑚
5. 𝑓(𝑡) = 40𝑡 − 5𝑡 2
∴ 𝑓(6) = 40(6) − 5(6)2
= 240 − 180
= 60 𝑚
6. Distance = 80 + 20
= 100 𝑚

which will normally be an easier integral.

From ∫ 𝑓 ′(𝑥) sin 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = − cos 𝑓(𝑥) + 𝐶

5.1 Introduction
When we add fractions, they are reduced to a single fraction.
For example
𝑎 𝑏
+
𝑥 𝑦
𝑎𝑦 + 𝑏𝑥
=
𝑥𝑦
When we break up a fraction into two or more fractions, we get partial fractions. It is very important to remember
that if the highest power in the numerator is greater than or equal to the highest power in the denominator, we
must first divide.

6.1.1 Introduction
Definition of a definite integral
𝑏
∫ 𝑔 (𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝑔(𝑏) − 𝑔(𝑎)
𝑎
𝑎 is called the lower limit and 𝑏 the upper limit. When integrating with respect to 𝑥, 𝑎 will always be the limit on
the left hand side of a graphical representation of 𝑔 ′(𝑥).
We integrate with respect to 𝑦 from the bottom to the top, so 𝑎 will always be the lowest limit on the graph.

MODULE 10: DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of this module the students should be able to:
The general and particular solutions of:
1. First order differential equations by direct integration or by separating the variables
2. Second order differential equations of the form:
𝑑2𝑦
= 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
𝑑𝑥 2
10.1 Introduction
A differential equation is an equation involving derivatives or differentials. The order of a differential
equation is determined by the order of the highest derivative.
𝑑𝑦
= 𝑎𝑥 [first order]
𝑑𝑥
𝑑2𝑦
= 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 [second order]
𝑑𝑥 2
𝑑3𝑦 𝑑2𝑦
+ = 𝑓(𝑥) [third order]
𝑑𝑥 3 𝑑𝑥 2
A general solution has a constant of integration as part of the solution.
In a particular solution, more information is given, which will enable the constant of integration to be
calculated.
10.2 First Order Differential Equations
a) Solve by direct integration
Example
𝑑𝑦
Solve the differential equation = 3𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 2, 𝑦 = 4, 𝑥 = 2
𝑑𝑥
Solution
𝑑𝑦
= 3𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 2
𝑑𝑥
∴ 𝑑𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 2 𝑑𝑥
∴ ∫ 𝑑𝑦 = ∫ 3𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 − 2 𝑑𝑥
∴ 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 𝑐 (general solution)
But since we have more info (y = 4 when x = 2), we can find the particular solution.
∴ 4 = 23 − 2(2)2 − 2(2) + 𝑐 ≫𝑐=8
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Page 56 of 60
CTC STUDY GUIDE MATHEMATICS N5 VERSION 3 2018
∴ 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 8 This is the particular solution
b) Solve by separating the variables
This is done by taking all x variables to one side that has dx and all y variables to another side with dy
and then integrate both sides.
Example
Solve the following differential equations
𝑑𝑦
a. 𝑥 = 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦
𝑑𝑥
b. 𝑦 ln 𝑥 ln 𝑦 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥𝑑𝑦 = 0 𝑥 = 2, 𝑦 = 2

𝑑𝑥 2
Integrate both sides with respect to x

But = 2; 𝑥 = 0;
𝑑𝑥
2 = 03 − 02 + 0 + 𝑐 ∴𝑐=2
