Why this chapter matters A pattern is an arrangement of repeated parts. You see patterns every day in clothes, art and home furnishings. Patterns can also occur in numbers. There are many mathematical problems that can be solved using patterns in numbers. Some numbers have fascinating features. Here is a pattern. 3+5 =8 (5 miles =8 km) 5+8 =13(8 miles = 13 km) 8 + 13 = 21 (13 miles =~ 21 km) Approximately how many kilometres are there in 21 miles? Note: =~ means ‘approximately equal to’. In the boxes are some more patterns. Can you work out the next line of each pattern? 4096 = (4 + 09)® 81 = (8 + 1)? Some patterns have special names.

Because they form square patterns, the numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ... are called square numbers. When you multiply any number by itself, the answer is called the square of the number or the number squared. This is because the answer is a square number. For example: the square of 5 (or 5 squared) is 5 x § = 25 the square of 6 (or 6 squared) is 6 x 6 = 36 There is a short way to write the square of any number. For example: 5 squared (5 x 5) can be written as 52 13 squared (13 x 13) can be written as 13? So, the sequence of square numbers, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ..., can be written as: 12, 22, 32,42, S?, 64, «.. The square root of n is the number of which the square is n. This can be written as Vn. For example, the square root of 16 (4) can be written as 16. Square numbers have exact square roots, for example: the square root of 9 is 3: /9 = 3 the square root of 25 is 5: J25 =5 the square root of 100 is 10: 100 = 10 8 1.1 Square numbers and cube numbers EXERCISE 1A The square number pattern starts: 14 9 #16 25 Copy and continue the pattern above until you have written down the first 20 square numbers.

This is because the answer is a cube number. For example: the cube of 5 (or 5 cubed) 5 5.05 =: 25, There is a short way to write the cube of any number. For example: 5 cubed (5 x 5 x 5) can be written as 5? 10 cubed (10 x 10 x 10) can be written as 103 So, the sequence of cube numbers, 1, 8, 27, 64, ..., can be written as: 13, 23, 33, 43, ...

Lowest common multiple The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the sma//est number that appears in the multiplication tables of both numbers. For example, the LCM of 3 and 5 is 15, the LCM of 2 and 7 is 14 and the LCM of 6 and 9 is 18. Example 2 Find the LCM of 18 and 24. Write out the 18 times table: 18, 36, 54,72), 90, 108, ... . Write out the 24 times table: 24, 48,72), 96, 120, ... You can see that 72 is the smallest (least) number in both (common) tables (multiples). 14 1.3 Factors of whole numbers Chapter 1.

Notice that each of these numbers has only two factors: itself and 1. They are all examples of prime numbers. Chapter 1: Number 15 Chapter 1. Topic 5 So, a prime number is a whole number that has only two factors: itself and 1. Note: 1 is not a prime number, since it has only one factor — itself. The prime numbers up to 50 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47 EXERCISE 1G & Write down the prime numbers between 20 and 30. @ Write down the only prime number between 90 and 100.

For example: 35=5x7 40=2x2x2«5 465=3x5 x 31 5929=7x7x11x 11 5 and 7 are the prime factors of 35. 2 and 5 are the prime factors of 40. You can use indices to write the product more easily. For example: 40=23x5 The small 3 is an index. 5929 =7? x 11? 96=2x2x2x2x2x3=25x3 Writing a number in this way is called prime factorisation. You can write the numbers in a different order but you can do the factorisation in only one way. So for 96 there must be five 2s and one 3. —— 16 1.5 Prime factorisation Example 4 Write 630 as a product of prime factors. Check the prime numbers (2, 3, 5, 7, ...) in turn to find which of them divide into 630. 2 is a factor of 630. 630 +2=315 Now do the same with 315. 2 is not a factor of 315 but 3is. 315+3= 105 3 is a factor of 105. 105+3=35 3 is not a factor of 35 but 5 is. 35+5=7 7 is a prime number, so stop there.

You can check that 18 isa common factor: 810+18=45=32x5 and: 252 +18=14=2x7 Since the answers to these divisions have no common factor, 18 is the highest common factor.

Example 1 Complete the following. a Multiplying the numerator by 4 gives 12. This means z is an equivalent fraction to z. b To change the denominator from 5 to 15, you multiply by 3. Do the same thing to the numerator, which gives 2 x 3 = 6. So, 2 = 6. The fraction 2, in Example 1a, is in its lowest terms or simplest form. This means that the only number that is a factor of both the numerator and denominator is 1. A fraction in which the numerator (top number) is smaller than the denominator (bottom number) is called a proper fraction. An example of a proper fraction is :. In an improper fraction the numerator (top number) is bigger than the denominator (bottom number). An example of an improper fraction is z. It is sometimes called a top-heavy fraction. A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. An example of a mixed number is 13. Example 2 Convert into a mixed number. $s means 14 + 5. Dividing 14 by 5 gives 2 with a remainders of 4 (5 divides into 14 two times, with : left over).

The decimal may work out exactly. For example: 5 —=5+8=0.625 8 + = =7+20=0.3 30 7+20=0,35 This is called a terminating decimal. Alternatively, the decimal may continue. For example: : =2+3=0.66666... 2 =5+11=0.454545... This is called a recurring decimal. ker Chapter 2: Fractions and percentages 27 There is always a repeating pattern of digits in a recurring decimal. . Here are some examples. 5 3° 0.5555... the 5 repeats. 4 =\0:583333.5 the 3 repeats. 5 = 0.318 1818... the digit pair 18 repeats. g = 0.857 142857 14285... the digit sequence 857 142 repeats. You use dots over the digits to show the repeating pattern. 2=05 J = 0.583 x = 0.318 Note the dots over the 1 and the 8. : = 0.857142 You just put dots over the 8 and the 2 —the first and last digits, In the previous section, you learned how to change terminating decimals to fractions. Changing a recurring decimal to a fraction is more difficult. Example 5 Write 0.777... as a fraction. Write: fe OPTRA: Multiply both sides by 10: 10f= 7.777...

Subtract: 9f = 3.75 All the digits after 2 decimal places cancel. Divide by 9: 2° = 7+ = Simplify the fraction. So: 28 2.3 Recurring decimals In the last two examples you multiplied by 10 because there was one recurring digit. What number will you multiply by if there are two recurring digits? Or more than two? Example 7 Write 0.074 as a fraction. Write: f= 0.074074... There are three recurring digits. Multiply by 1000: 1000f= 74.074074...

Topic 5 2.5 Calculating a percentage POPC OOOOH SEH HEHEH ESSE THOHESHHHHH TSHR SESE SHEESH CEHE REDE REORDER ODES OOEELER OED ES Ob CEO To calculate a percentage of a quantity, you multiply the quantity by the percentage. The percentage may be expressed as either a fraction or a decimal. When finding percentages without a calculator, base the calculation on 10% (or 1%) as these are easy to calculate. Example 11 Calculate: a 10% of 54kg = bb-:«15% of 54 kg. a 10% is 35 50 gb of 54kg =54kg + 10=5.4kg b 15% is 10% +5% =5.4kg + 2.7 kg=8.1kg Using a percentage multiplier You have already seen that percentages and decimals are equivalent so it is easier, particularly when using a calculator, to express a percentage as a decimal and use this to do the calculation. For example, 13% is a multiplier of 0.13, 20% a multiplier of 0.2 (or 0.20) and so on. Example 12 Calculate 45% of 160 cm. b Find 52% of $460. 45% = 0.45 So 45% of 160 = 0.45 x 160 = 72cm 52% = 0.52 So, 0.52 x 460 = 239.2 This gives $239.20.

Topic 6 2.6 Increasing or decreasing quantities by a percentage Increasing by a percentage There are two methods for increasing a quantity by a percentage. Method 1 Work out the increase and add it on to the original amount. Example 13 Increase $6 by 5%. Work out 5% of $6: (5 + 100) x 6 = $0.30 _ Add the $0.30 to the original amount: $6 + $0.30 = $6.30 Method 2 Use a multiplier. An increase of 6% is equivalent to the original 100% plus the extra 6%. This is a total of 106% and is equivalent to the multiplier 1.06. Example 14 Increase $6.80 by 5%. A 5% increase is a multiplier of 1.05 So $6.80 increased by 5% is $6.80 x 1.05 = $7.14 EXERCISE 2F Ss What multiplier is used to increase a quantity by: a 10% | b 3% c 20% d 7% e 12%?
