RELATED CONCEPTS/ TERMS/VOCABULARY
Function – A relationship for which each element of the domain (𝑥) corresponds to exactly one
element of the range(𝑦). For every 𝑥- value there is only one possible 𝑦-value.
Increasing function - A function that is going upwards when looking at it from left to right.
Decreasing function – A function that is going ‘downwards when looking at it from left to right. N.B
if a function has a turning point, this is the point at which a function could change from decreasing
to increasing
Horizontal shift – A translation of the graph either to the left or the right
Vertical shift – A translation of the graph either up or down
Average gradient – The gradient between two points on a curved graph.
Domain – All the possible 𝑥 values that are covered by the function/ graph (to find the domain
always study the graph from left to right)
Range – All the possible 𝑦 values that are covered by the function/ graph ( to find the range always
study the graph from bottom to top)
𝑥- intercept- Where a function cuts the 𝑥- axis
𝑦- intercept- where a function cuts the 𝑦- axis
Axis of symmetry – A line that cuts the function exactly in half
A parabola has a vertical line of symmetry (𝑥 =…..)
A hyperbola has 2 axes of symmetry which form a cross͢͢͢͢. These are in the
form
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐
An exponential graph does not have an axis of symmetry
Asymptote – A straight line that a curved graph gets closer to but never touches
Turning point – the point at which a function (parabola, sin or cos graph) changes from increasing to
decreasing or from decreasing
Maximum – The highest the graph can be and is always the 𝑦-value of the turning point
Minimum – The lowest the graph can be and is always the 𝑦-value of the turning point. N.B Min
and Max only involves functions that have a turning point.

NOTES
𝑎
In Grade 10 we discussed hyperbolic function of the form 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑞. We will now focus on hyperbolic
𝑎
functions of the form 𝑦 = 𝑥+𝑝 + 𝑞 where 𝑥 + 𝑝 ≠ 0
Consider the example:
2
Given 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥−2 + 1
2
It is clear that from the revision of Grade 10 hyperbolas that the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥−2 + 1 has a horizontal
asymptote at y = 1.
It is also the case that 𝑥 − 2 ≠ 0, i.e. 𝑥 ≠ 2 because then the denominator will be zero and the expression
2
would be undefined.
𝑥−2
In other words, the graph is not defined for 𝑥 = 2. The graph there, therefore has a vertical asymptote at
𝑥 = 2.
Horizontal shift – affects the x values in the equation.
𝑓(𝑥 + 2) – shift of 2 units to the left
𝑓(𝑥 − 2) – shift of 2 units to the right

Definition of a function
A relation is any relationship between two variables. A function is a special kind of relation in which: For
every 𝑥-value, there is at most one 𝑦-value. Each element of the domain (𝑥) is associated with only one
element of the range (𝑦). In other words, the 𝑥-values are never repeated in the set of ordered pairs of a
function.
If each element of the domain is associated with only one element of the range. The relation is a one-to-
one function.
Example 1:
(a) {(-2 ;1) ; (4 ; 6) ; (5 ; 7) ; (3 ; 9)}
Here, each element of the domain is
associated with only one element of
the range. In other words, each x-value
associates with only one y-value.
In this case, the relation is said to be
a one-to-one function.
(b) {(-2 ;16) ; (0 ; 4) ; (1; 4) ; (3 ; 7)}
Here, each element of the domain is
associated with only one element of
the range. However, the x-values
0 and 1 are associated with the same
element of the range (namely 4).
In this case, the relation is said to be
a many-to-one function. Each x-value
still associates with only one y-value.
(c) {(-2 ;16) ; (4 ;1) ; (4 ; 6) ; (3 ; 7)}
Here, the x-value 4 in the domain is
associated with more than one element
of the range (1 and 6). In this case,
the relation is one-to-many and is
not a function.
HOW TO DETERMINE WHETHER A GRAPH IS A FUNCTION:
The Vertical and Horizontal Line Tests
You can use a ruler to perform the “vertical line test” on a graph to see whether it is a function or
not. Hold a clear plastic ruler parallel to the 𝑦-axis, i.e. vertical. Move it from left to right over the
axes. If the ruler only ever cuts the curve in one place, then the graph is a function. If the ruler at
any stage cuts the graph in more than one place, then the graph is not a function. This is because the
same 𝑥-value will be associated with more than one 𝑦-value.
The “horizontal line test” determines if the graph is a one-to-one or many-to-one function. If the
ruler is positioned horizontally so that it is parallel to the 𝑥-axis, and the movement of the ruler is
horizontally up or down, the following holds true: If the ruler only ever cuts the curve in one place,
then the graph is a one-to-one function. If the ruler at any stage cuts the graph in more than one
place, then the graph is a many-to-one function. See the graphs below.
Not a function Function Not a function
Example 2
Determine whether the following relations are functions or not. If the graph is a function, determine
whether the function is one-to-one or many-to-one.
Functional notation:
Since functions are special relations, we reserve certain notation strictly for use when dealing with
functions. Consider the function 𝑓= {(𝑥:𝑦) /𝑦 = 3𝑥} This function may be represented by means functional
notation.
Functional notation
𝑓(𝑥)=3𝑥
This is read as “𝑓 of x is equal to 3𝑥”. The symbol (𝑥) is used to denote the element of the range to which
x maps. In other words, the y-values corresponding to the x-values are given by 𝑓(𝑥),
i.e. 𝑦= (𝑥).
For example, if 𝑥=4, then the corresponding 𝑦-value is obtained by substituting 𝑥=4 into 3𝑥. For 𝑥=4 the
𝑦-value is 𝑦 =3(4) =12.
ACTIVITIES/ ASSESSMENT
1.3 The 𝑥 and 𝑦 values in the tables represent a relation between 𝑥 and 𝑦. State whether each relation
is one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many. Use your answers to say whether
each relation in 1.1−1.5 is a function or not.

Inverses of one-to-one linear functions
An inverse function of a function 𝑓, is a function which does the “reverse” of a given function 𝑓.
𝑓 −1 , is the notation used for the inverse of function 𝑓.
Since linear function is a 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑥 → 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑦 relation and if domain and range is swopped, the inverse
will remain a 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑥 → 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑦.
Example 1
Consider the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1
f is the rule that maps values in the domain (x) to the values in the range (y). Note: 2𝑥 − 1 = 𝑦.
If 𝑥 = 3, then the function f maps this 𝑥- value to a corresponding y- value in the range as
follows:
𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1
∴ 𝑓(3) = 2(3) − 1
∴ 𝑓(3) = 5
∴𝑦=5
So if 𝑥 = 3, then 𝑦 = 5
The rule that reverses this process and maps 5 back to 3 is called the inverse of the original
function f and is denoted by 𝑓 −1 .
Method 1: Inverse function by swopping x Method 2: Inverse function using flow
and y diagrams
So if 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1 (f) A flow diagram could also help you to

ERRORS/MISCONCEPTIONS/PROBLEM AREAS
Use of logs in the parabolic inverse
Learners do not apply restrictions in the surd, so that the value is a real number (i.e. restrict the
domain)
Confusion between restrictions
NOTES
Consider the many–to-one function 𝒇(𝒙)=𝑥 2
Let’s sketch: f (𝒙)= 𝑥 2 which can also be written as 𝑦= 𝑥 2 , by using the table with some values for
𝑥.
𝒙 -1 0 1
𝒚 1 0 1
Interchange x and y of, 𝑦=, then 𝑥=𝑦 2
Use the table below to sketch, 𝑥=𝑦 2
𝒚 -1 0 1
𝒙 1 0 1
It is possible to make 𝑦 the subject of the formula for the inverse relation. ∴𝑦 2 =𝑥
∴𝑦= ±√𝑥 Provided 𝑥≥0
The graph of 𝑦= ±√𝑥 is not a function because a vertical line will cut the graph in two points as it
moves from left to right. So we will need to do something to the graph of 𝑦= 𝑥 2 so that when we
determine the inverse, this inverse will also be a function.
The inverse of a parabola is not a
function, because there are
elements of the domain, which
have more than one 𝑦-value
associated with it.
HOWEVER, if we restrict the
domain of the original function,
we can get an inverse that is a
function
Please note
If a function is not a one –to-one function, the inverse will not be a function.
However, below you will see that the domain of a many-to-one function can be restricted so that its
inverse is a function.
Two different restrictions can be placed on the domain so that the inverse is a function.
Situation 1
Restrict the domain of 𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 2 as follows:
𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 2 where 𝑥≥0
Note that the graph of this parabola will be the one-
half of the parabola, where the 𝑥-values are positive.
The range of this function is the same as for the
original function, 𝑦 ∈ [0; ∞).
The inverse of the graph of the function 𝑓, is the image
when 𝑓 is reflected about 𝑦=𝑥. See the adjacent sketch.
The equation of the inverse function is then defined as,
𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = √𝑥 where 𝑥≥0 and 𝑦≥0.
Note, both 𝑓 and 𝑓 −1 are one-to-one functions.
Situation 2
Restrict the domain of
𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 2 as follows:
𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 2 where 𝑥≤0
Note that the graph of this parabola will be the half
of the parabola, where the 𝑥-values are negative.
The range of this function is the same as for the
original function, 𝑦 ∈ [0; ∞).
The inverse of the graph of the function 𝑓, is the
image when 𝑓 is reflected about 𝑦=𝑥. See the
adjacent sketch. It is clear that the inverse of the
graph of the function
(𝑥)=𝑥 2 where 𝑥≤0 is also a function. The
equation of the inverse function is then defined
as 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = −√𝑥 where 𝑥≥0 and 𝑦≤0
Note, both 𝑓 and 𝑓 −1 are one-to-one functions.

Examples that involves logarithms
1) Express the following in logarithmic form.

∴ log 4 16 = 2 ∴ 𝑦 = log 2 𝑥
2) Express the following in exponential form.
a) log 2 64 = 6 (b) log 3 𝑦 = 𝑥
∴ 64 = 26 ∴ 𝑦 = 3𝑥
1. What is an inverse function?
(A reflection of the function in the line y = x).
2. Draw a Cartesian plane and the line y = x onto it.
3. sketch the function 𝑦 = 2𝑥 on the same Cartesian plane, marking the y-intercept clearly.
4. Draw in the inverse function. If you folded your paper along the y = x line the two graphs should
land on top of one another. All x-values become y-values and all y-values become x-values. Focus
on the asymptote of the exponential function and think about where the asymptote will be of the
inverse function.
5. The graph need not be accurate. It just needs to show the y-intercept of the exponential

Summary of the facts related to growth and decay
Once you buy expensive items that lose value over a period of time. e.g. car or furniture loses its
value as it becomes a scrap over a period of time. This is called DEPRECIATION
Other items gain value over a period of time.
e.g. Property (house), house itself gain value as the home owner performs exterior and interior
renovations that add to the price tag of the house. This is APPRECIATION.
That is why people are encouraged to invest on property rather than spend their money on buying
expensive cars that will lose value over a period of time.

Notes on Delayed payments or Missed Payments
Deferred payments – also referred to as delayed payments and generate compound interest
with 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖)𝑛 .
Missed payments/difficulties to pay – e.g. 13rd ,14th , 15th payments missed ,generate profit outside
also 𝐴 = 𝑃(1 + 𝑖)𝑛 , n = 3 since 3 payments missed. First calculate outstanding balance after the
12th payment. Thereafter, the loan continues to accumulate interest for the period equal to the number of
missed payments.

Notes on Sinking Fund
SINKING FUND- It is a saving account which is set up in order to save money to replace an old
item in future. It is used as a saving account that will allow investor to purchase/buy expensive items or
to fund expensive capital outlays in few years’ time.
Calculate the REPLACEMENT/EXPECTED/NEW COST →(APPRECIATION)
Calculate the SCRAP VALUE/BOOK/TRADE-IN/DECAY VALUE →(DEPRECIATION)
SINKING FUND = APPRECIATION - DEPRECIATION
To calculate monthly instalment in the sinking fund →Use the future value annuity formula
EXAMPLES (SINKING FUND)
A company purchases a new vehicle for R200 000. The vehicle is expected to depreciate at a rate of 24% per
annum on a reducing balance. It is also expected that the vehicle will have to be replaced after 5 years. A
sinking fund is set up for this purpose. If the replacement cost of the vehicle increases by 18% per annum
compounded annually calculate

Frequency tells us how many of each item there are in a data set.
Cumulative frequency shows the number of results that are less than (<) or less than or equal to (≤)
a stated value in a set of data.
To find the cumulative frequency,
1. Add up the frequencies as you go down the frequency table.
2. Write each running total or cumulative frequency in your table.
An ogive or cumulative frequency curve is a graph that shows the information in a cumulative
frequency table. The graph is useful for estimating the median and inter-quartile range of the
grouped data.
You can draw an ogive of ungrouped discrete data, grouped discrete data or grouped continuous data.
It can be drawn from a grouped frequency table or an ungrouped frequency table.

The following frequency table shows the time (in minutes) taken by
learners to travel to school.

e Add in an interval with a frequency of 0 before the first interval.
¢ Find the cumulative frequency by adding the frequencies.
e List the ordered pairs where the first coordinate = upper limit of the interval and
the second coordinate = cumulative frequency.

Example 1
Use the Ogive drawn in the previous day’s classwork to answer the questions below:
iii) To find the approximate value of the upper quartile (Q3), find the midpoint of
the upper half of the values plotted on the cumulative frequency axis.
e There are 60 terms in the upper half of the data, so the upper quartile lies
between 60 + 30 = 90" and the 91* term.
e Draw a horizontal line from just above 90 until it touches the ogive.
¢ From that point draw a vertical line down to the horizontal axis.
So the upper quartile = 45 minutes.
b)
i) The median tells us that 50% of the learners took 35 minutes or less or to walk
to school.
ii) The lower quartile tells us that 25% of the learners took 25 minutes or less to
walk to school.
iii) The upper quartile tells us that 75% of the learners took 45 minutes or less to
walk to school.

Start at a point and draw 2 branches representing the two possible outcomes. Write the outcomes at the
end of the branches. Write the theoretical probability ON each branch.
HEAD
TAIL
Extend the tree diagram to also represent the second toss. Even though there will only be one more
toss, it needs to be represented twice – as if heads were tossed on the first throw and as if tails were
tossed on the first throw – to cover ALL possibilities.

Write all the possible outcomes at the end of the branches. Run your finger along the different
branches of the tree diagram to show all the possible combined outcomes.
Are these events dependent or independent?
(Independent – how the coin landed the first time does not affect what will happen the second
time)
Use the following diagram (add onto your final one) to show how probabilities are calculated
using a tree diagram.
Consider the probability of getting at least one head. Confirm the meaning of this statement. In the two
tosses, one head will be acceptable but so will two heads as this also covers the statement ‘at least
one’.
How many of these outcomes have at least one head in them? (Three of them do - only the last
outcome has no heads at all).
To calculate the probability of at least one head being tossed, we first multiply along the branches that
lead to each of these three outcomes, then add all of those answers together
To find the probability of something happening AND something else happening, multiply the
probabilities together.
To find the probability of something happening OR something else happening, add up the
probabilities.
Example 2.
I have a bag with 7 red balls and 3 green balls in it. Without looking into the bag, I am going to take out
one ball, and then another ball. The first ball will not be put back in the bag before the second one is
drawn.
Start at a point and draw 2 branches
representing the two possible outcomes.
Write the outcomes at the end of the
branches.
Write the theoretical probability ON the
branch.
Extend the tree diagram to represent the
second draw.
Even though there will only be one more draw,
it needs to be represented twice – as if a red
ball was drawn on the first draw and as if a
green ball was drawn on the first throw - to
cover ALL possibilities.

NOTES
Two events are dependent if the outcome of the first event affects (influences) the outcome of the
second event. For example: the event of studying for an exam and the event of passing the exam are
dependent, i.e. if you study for the exam, if will influence the probability of you passing the exam!
Two events are independent if the outcome of the first event does not affect (influence) the outcome
of the second event. For example, owning a pet and wearing a blue shirt. Whether you own a pet or
not has no effect on the probability of you wearing a blue shirt.
Example 1:
First Scenario:
A bag contains 4 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls.
2 balls are drawn from the bag.
Balls are drawn from the bag without looking – they are randomly drawn.
After the first ball is drawn, it is replaced.
The second ball is drawn.
What is the probability of getting a blue ball, and then a green ball?
PBlue, Green
2 3 6 2
9 9 81 27
Because the ball was replaced, the sample space remained the same size.
Second Scenario:
A bag contains 4 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls.
2 balls are drawn from the bag.
Balls are drawn from the bag without looking – they are randomly drawn.
After the first ball is drawn, it is not replaced.
The second ball is drawn.
What is the probability of getting a blue ball, and then a green ball?
PBlue, Green
2 3 6 1
9 8 72 12
Because the ball was not replaced, the sample space needed to be adjusted.
Notice how the probability was calculated for the first example (the independent events). Probability
was calculated by multiplying the probability of one event (drawing a blue ball) by the probability of
the other event (drawing a green ball).
P (A and B) = P (A) × P (B)
This is always true if events are independent of each other.
Example 2:
Given:
P(A) = 0, 2
P(B) = 0, 5
P (A or B) = 0, 6
Where A and B are two different events.
a) Calculate P (A and B)
b) Are the events A and B independent? Show your calculations.
Solution:
a) P( A or B) = P( A) + P( B) - P (A and B)
0, 6 = 0, 2 + 0, 5 - P (A and B)
-0, 1 =- P (A and B)
` P( A and B) = 0, 1
b) P(A and B) = 0, 1
P(A) × P(B) = 0, 2 × 0, 5 = 0, 1
the events are independent

A contingency table shows the distribution of one variable in rows and another in columns. It is
used to study the correlation between the two variables.
Look at the table in more detail.
What was the survey about and who participated?
(The survey was about how people feel about their body image. Males and females were questioned,
and their answers were listed separately).
How many females were surveyed? (760)
How many people were surveyed altogether? (1200)
How many people in total consider themselves underweight? (110)
How many of those people are male? (73)
How many males consider themselves overweight? (72)
How many people in total think their weight is just right? (855).
Contingency tables can be used when calculating probabilities. Use the same table to work through
some probability questions:
There is no need to simplify the fractions. The important idea here is to know where the numbers are
being read off for both the numerator and denominator.
Determine the probability that a person chosen at random from the participants in the survey is:

The Fundamental Counting Principle is a rule used to count the total number of possible outcomes
in a situation.
It states that: If there are n ways of doing something and m ways of doing another thing, then there are
n m ways to perform both actions.
In the above, one is choosing one of the 3 items from A and one of the 4 items from B.
The number of ways of choosing from A and B is 3 4 12 ways.

An OBJECT is a material thing that can be seen and touched. Unlike numbers and letters, objects
CANNOT be repeated.
The following examples show how objects are arranged in a row:

Example 3: 2 different History books, 3 different Geography books and 2
different Science books are placed on a book shelf.
a) How many different ways can they be arranged?
b) How many ways can they be arranged if books of the same subject
must be placed together?

This means that there are 2! ways the history books can be arranged and 3! ways that
the.geography books can be arranged and 2! ways the science books can be arranged.
You also have to take into account that the subjects can be arranged in any order. This
means there are 3! ways the subjects can be arranged.
wie Number of ways the books can be arranged = 2!«3!x2!x3!=144
Example 4: Ina school there are 8 prefects, 5 girls and 3 boys.
They are to be seated on the stage for an assembly.
a) How many different ways can they be seated on stage?
b) How many ways can they be seated if all the boys and girls are to sit

P(E) refers to the probability of an event happening
n(E) refers to the number of ways the event can take place
n(S) refers to the sample space
Example 14:
Consider the letters of the word DREAMS. If the letters are arranged in any order
without repetition to form different words. what is the probability that the word
formed will start with D and end with S?
Solution
The number of ways that the six letters can be arranged is 6!
Let event E be defined as the event that the word formed will start with D and end
with S.
. 4!
The number of arrangement for event E is ao 4!
Therefore the probability of event E happening is:
4 Ld
6! 6x5x4! 30
Example 15:
A combination to a lock is formed using three letters of the alphabet. excluding the
letters O.Q.S, U,V and W and using any three digits. The numbers and letters can
be repeated. Calculate the probability that a combination, chosen at random:
(a) starts with the letter X and ends with the number 6.
(b) has exactly one X.
(c) has one or more number 6 in it.
Solutions
(a) Let A be the event that a number plate starts with the letter X and ends with
the number 6.
Since 20 letters and 10 digits can be used, the number of plates possible will
be:
20x 20x 20x10x10x10 =8 000 000
For event A, the number of possibilities is reduced to:
1x 20x 20x10x10x1= 40 000
Therefore. the probability of event A happening is: 40000 1
8000000 200
(b) Let B be the event of choosing exactly one X.
The number of possible ways of event B happening is:
(1x19x19x10x10x10) + (19x1x19x10x10x10)+ (9x19 x1x10x10x10)
=1083 000
Therefore, the probability of event B happening is: 1083 000 _ 1083
8000000 sO
(c) Let C be the event of at least one 6 being chosen.
Method 1
Total number of possible combinations:
20x 20x 20x10x10x10 =8 000 000
Number of combinations without 6:
20x 20x 20x9x9x9 =5 832 000
Number of combinations with at least one 6:
20x 20x 20x10x10x10-—20x 20x 20x9x9x9
=8 000 000—5 832 000

5.5 TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES
A. Background knowledge:
Definition: An identity is to work with only one side at a time and to show that one side equals
the other. Sometimes it is necessary to first simplify one side of the identity, and then to simplify
the other side in order to show that they are equal.
An identity consists of two sides, namely, a left hand side (LHS) and a right hand side (RHS).
If we have to prove an identity, we have to simplify one side until it is equal to the other side.
(Sometimes it is necessary and sufficient to simplify both sides separately)
sin
tan is a trigonometric identity which is true for all values of 𝜽, for which both sides
cos
are meaningful, i.e. for which both sides are defined, but, normally only simplify one side of
the identity at a time.
It is sometimes useful to write tan θ in terms of sin θ and cos θ
sin
Never write a trigonometric ratio without an angle. For example, tan it has no meaning.
cos
Reductions are used to simplify the LHS and/or the RHS i.e. replace function values of
90 ; 180 and 360 , for example, with function values of .
1 sin
Sometimes it is necessary to multiply the expression (LHS or RHS) by one, e.g. by
1 sin
Square identity is sometimes used where necessary
Remember to write down restrictions:
the values for which any of the trigonometric ratios are not defined;
the values of the variable which make any of the denominators in the identity equal
to zero.
B. Two fundamental identities to be used:

on both sides is incorrect.
Make sure that the dividing value is not equal to zero.
