Make a ist of: + the first 15 prime numbers + the first 15 square numbers + the first 8 cube numbers, You need to be able to write any number as the product of prime factors. Exam tip Use a factor tee to help you. Give your answer using index notation. Natural numbers are the numbers you use to count. So the natural numbers are 1, 2,3,4,. Integers are ‘whole numbers. They can be postive or negative (with zero in between), So the integers are the numbers .-3, -2,-1,0,1, 2,3, Positive integers are the numbers 1, 23,4, Negative integers are the numbers ~1, -2, -3, ~4, Prime numbers have only two (different) factors (ie. 1 and itself). So 1 is not a prime number. The prime numbers are 2, 3,5, 7,11, 13, 17, 19,.. The number of primes is infinite. Square numbers 1?=1,2!=4,3°=9,_So the numbers 1, 4, 9,..are square numbers. a9 4 x3 Cube numbers P=1,2)=8,3°=27, .. Sothe numbers 1, 8, 27,.. are cube numbers. Worked example Express 504 as the product of prime factors. [2 marks] Divide 604 by the smallest possible prime number, in this case 2. Continue until you have only prime numbers in your tree. Hence 504 = 2° x 3° x7 3 is a common factor of 9 and 12 since 3 is afactor of both 9 and 12. 30 is common multiple of 6 and 15 since 30 is a multiple of both 6 and 15.

Parmijit buys 1 apple and 2 bananas and pays 80 cents (a) Derive two simultaneous equations from this information [2 marks] (b) Solve the simultaneous equations to find a and b. [3 marks] The cost of 3 apples = 3a cents and the cost of 1 banana = b cents So, from Avni, 3a+ b= 90 The cost of 1 apple = a cents and the cost of 2bananas = 2b cents. So, from Parmjit, a+ 26=80 @ You can solve these simultaneous equations by elimination. Multiply equation (1) by 2 so that both equations have a 2b term. Give this new equation the label (3). 6a+2b= 180 @ Subtract equation (2) from equation (3) to eliminate the 2b terms (6a +2b) — (a+ 2b) = 180 - 80 5a= 100, so. a=20 Use the value of a in equation (1) to find b. 3x 20+b=90, so b= 30 Therefore, an apple costs 20 cents and a banana costs 30 cents. You must be able to derive and solve simultaneous linear equations in two unknowns, Exam tip ‘They are called simultaneous equations because the solutions satisfy both of the equations at the same time Exam tip It isa good idea to label your simultaneous equations with a ‘number so you can keep track Cf which one is which as you change and combine them. Exam tip The elimination method works: by multiplying one or both of the equations by a number (different numbers f you are multiplying both equations), so ‘that the size of the coefficient of one of the variables is the same in both equations.
