3. Perform the scalar multiplication of 2 2 and 3 3 matrices.
Content
Matrix is a set of numbers arranged in rows and columns to form a rectangular

array and enclosed within large brackets. These set of numbers enclosed
within large brackets are called element or entries of the matrix.
The following are examples of matrices (plural of matrix)
etc.
The matrix
Has 2 rows and 3 columns, and it is said to have an order of (2 × 3) read as “2
by 3”. Also, have orders (2 2), (3 1) and (1 3)

respectively.
In general, a matrix with m rows and n columns is said to have an order of

m×n read as “m by n ” matrix, hence in describing a matrix the
number of rows is stated first before the number of columns.
A matrix is usually denoted by capital letter and the elements or entries are
denoted by small letters. Each element has double suffixes which indicate the
exact position of each element in the matrix e.g.
If then and
Types of Matrix
1. Row matrix: this is a matrix with only one row of elements e. g (1 4 6)

which has an order 1 x 3.
2. Column matrix: This is a matrix with only one column of elements e.g.
which has an order 2 1.
3. Zero or null matrix: Any matrix whose elements are all zero is called a
zero or null matrix e.g. .
4. A square matrix: This is a matrix with equal number of rows and
columns e.g. , . The elements 1

and 7 in A and 1, 3 and 2 in B are said to be along the leading/main
diagonal of the matrices. Square matrices have leading diagonals.
5. A diagonal matrix: This is a square matrix whose elements are all zeros
except those along the leading diagonal e.g.
6. Unit or identity matrix: This is a diagonal matrix whose elements in the
leading diagonal are all unity (one) e.g. ,
7. Equal matrices: Two matrices are equal if they are of the same order
and if they contain the same number of elements e.g. if
and
Then implies that abcd=432-1 ∴ a=4, b=3, c=2
and d=-1
Addition and Subtraction of Matrices

Simple interest and Compound interest
Interest is paid on either money paid or borrowed. The principal is the

initial amount of money deposited or borrowed.
When an interest is calculated and added to the principal at the end of

an agreed time interval e.g. 3 months, 6 months, 1 year etc. Is called
simple interest ( or ). This is given by the formula
Where principal, rate and time
The amount at the end of the investment period is
When an interest is calculated and added to the principal at a regular

interval so that the principal grows as interest is added, is called
compound interest. Principal in the first year is not the same as in the
second year, it is calculated yearly.
Mathematically this is given by the formula
Where amount is given below

time
Examples1:
Find the simple interest on N 60000 for 4 years at 9% per annum. How
much would the principal amount to in the given time frame?
Solution
Interest = N 21 600
Amount = principal + interest = 60 000 + 21 600 = N 81 600
Example 2: How many years will it take for N 240,000 to amount to N

288,000 at 8% compound interest per annum.
Solution
Recall
Thus
Divide both sides by 240,000

Now, we take the log of both sides
Divide both sides by we would have
Hence is approximately 2 years.
Example 3: A woman borrowed N 500 000 from a lender and pays at

12% per annum. If she repaid 100 000 at the end of each year. What
amount does she owe at the end of 2 years?
Solution
First year N
Principal = 500 000
12% of principal = + 60 000
560 000
Amount repaid = – 100 000
460 000
Second year
Principal = 460 000
12% of principal = + 55 200
515 200
Amount repaid = – 100 000
415 200
12% of principal
= 12100×460 000
12% of principal
= 12100×500 000
Therefore, the total amount owed at the end of two years is N 415 200
ASSESSMENT
Find the compound interest on 600 for 3 years at 6% per annum
Answer = N 114 ∙ 61
Depreciation
The loss in value of items like cars electrical goods, machines, buildings
as time passes is called depreciation. Depreciation is usually given as a
percentage of the value of the item at the beginning of the year.
Example 4: The value of a car depreciates by 20% of its value at the

beginning of each year. If the car cost 1.2 million, find the values after 2
years.
20% of principal
= 20100×960 000
20% of principal
= 20100×1 200 000
Solution
First year N
Principal = 1 200 000
20% of principal = – 240 000
960 000
Second year
Principal = 960 000
20% of principal = – 192 000
768 000
Therefore, after 2 years the car will cost N 768 000
Example 5: The fixed asset of a company is depreciated by 15% each

year. What will be the book value at the end of 5 years of a car bought
for N 120 000.00?
Solution:
First year N
Principal = 120 000.00
15% of 120 000 = – 18 000.00
102 000.00
Second year
15% of 102 000 = – 15 3000.00
86 700.00
Third year
15% of 86 700 = – 13 005.00
73 695.00
Fourth year
15% of 73 695 = – 11 054.25
62 640.75
Fifth year
15% of 62 640.75 = – 9 396.11
53 244.64
Book value at the end of 5 years = N 53 244.64
Annuity
Anonymity can simply be defined as a series of even cash flow paid at

regular interest. Suppose a man decides to save a certain amount of
money say 300 at the end of every year in a bank, if the bank pays 13%
interest on every saving made, then each 300 saved will earn this
interest this year.
The amount of annuity can be calculated using the relation
Example 3: find the amount of an affinity of N 10 000 paid yearly for 3

years at 8% per annum.
Solution
Therefore, amount of annuity = N 32 464
Example 4: Find the amount of an annuity of N 4 000 payable yearly

for 10 years at 12% interest per annum.
Solution
To ease our calculation, we see that the bracket gives a geometric

progression (G.P) where 2 .
Recall the formula for the sum of a G. P
Then we have the bracket to be

Hence
Therefore, amount of annuity ≅ N 70 193

1. To solve problems in the capital market by calculating interest on

bond, debenture and share.
2. Understand the concepts of income tax and value-added tax.
Content
Bonds, Debenture and Shares
Bond
A formal long term contract between a borrower or debtor or bond

issuer usually a corporation or the government and a lender or creditor
or bondholder is called a bond.
The bondholder gets interest known as coupon. The bondholder gets
interest known as coupon every year on the principal (phase value) at a
specified interest rate known as bond rate at specified date called the
maturity date. The bondholder receives the coupon on the specified
maturity on the bond certificate.
Example 1: What is the maturity value of a N 180 000, bond

paying interest for 6 years.
Solution:
Interest on coupon =
Maturity value = principal + coupon
= 180 000 + 102 600
= N 282 600
Example 2: Calculate the coupon on N 20,000, 212% bond sold

for 10 years.
Solution
Interest on coupon = P×R×T
Maturity value = principal + coupon
= 20 000 + 5 000
= N 25 000
Debenture
This is a long document issued by big companies or government to

generate funds. Debentures are unsecured investment because there is
no guarantee unlike bonds,
Example 3: Compute the maturity value of a N 100,000 debenture
which pays 5 ½% interest rate over 8 years.
Solution
Interest =
Maturity value = 100,000 + 44,000 = N 144,000
Shares
Shares are sold by companies to generate funds for investment. Shares

are sold to the public, individuals, corporate bodies or government.
Another name for shares is stocks. The buyers of shares are called
shareholders. Share is sold in money form he N 10, N 1, 50k, etc. Per-
share.
This value of monies is called nominal values or phase values. The

selling price of a share is called market price or quoted price. If the
market price is
 The same as the nominal value it is said to be at par.
 Above the nominal value, it is at a premium value.
 Below the nominal value, it is at a discount value.
The shareholder Collet the profit of his gain made at the end of each
year. That profit paid to the shareholder is called dividend. The
dividend is calculated as a percentage of the value of the shares or as a
fixed amount per share held by each shareholder.
Shareholders are privileged to sell their shares any time to make a profit
or buy additional shares to the existing shares. We have two types of
shares
1. Ordinary shares.
2. Preferred shares.
Example 5: A man invested N 120 000 in N 1 ordinary shares of a

company. He bought the shares at N 1.50 each.
1. How many shares did he buy?
2. If a dividend of 8 Kobe per share is declared, how much dividend

does he receive?
Solution
1. Number of shares brought is given as
2. Dividend on 80 000 shares = 80 000 ×8 kobo = N 6 400
Example 6: A man bought 480 N1.00 shares at 125k. The dividend

declared was 8%. Calculate
1. How much he would receive.
2. What rate is this on the investment?
Solution
1. Dividend =
2. Sum invested = N 480 × 1.25 = N 600.00

ASSESSMENT
Find the cost of 520 shares at N 1.25 each.

Answer N 650.00
Income Tax: Citizens of every country pay to the government part of

their money from their earning (salaries, wages, rents etc.) Usage of
some public utilities (roads, schools, hospitals etc.) and purchase of
certain goods. These payments are called tax. There are two types of
taxes: direct / income tax and indirect tax.
Parts of a person’s annual income which includes personal dependent

allowance is called tax free income. The remainder of the annual
income after removing the allowance is called taxable income. The tax
paid by the payer on the taxable income is called income tax. Tax is
usually calculated using the agreed rate of each country i.e. tax rate.
Tax rate is the percentage of the taxable income.
Value Added Tax (VAT): This is a form of tax in which a sum of

money is carried or charged for the sake of products or rendering of
services. The tax is usually collected from the consumers by selling or
service agents who then remits it to government: local, state and
federal.

Simultaneous Linear Equations

At this stage, we already have an idea or two on the steps taken to
solve problems involving simultaneous linear equations hence, we go
straight to examples to refresh our memory on the steps involved. Now
simultaneous equations can be solved using either the substitution
method or the elimination method.
Example 1: Solve the simultaneous equation

using
1. Substitution method b. Elimination method
Solution:
1. Substitution method
Make y the subject in equation (1)
Now substitute equation (3) into equation (2) and simplify to get x
Now substitute into any of equation (1), (2), or (3). So I would be

using equation (3) since is already the subject of the equation.
Therefore, the solution is x=3, y=2

2. Elimination method
Since the coefficient of in both equation is the same, we add equation

(1) and (2) to eliminate or remove
Now substitute x=3 into either equation (1) or (2). Let us use
equation (1) hence,
6
Solution:
To make things easy here we would be using the elimination method
At this point we simplify the equations above by clearing the fractions

out. This is done by multiplying each of the equation with the LCM of
the various fractions involved
Now to eliminate x we make sure the coefficient of x in both equation

(3) and (4) are the same hence:
Now we subtract equation (6) from equation (5) and simplify to get y
To get x we substitute y=4 into either of equation (1) to (6). Let’s

use equation (4)
The solution is

the factorization method or completing the square method or
formula method or graphical method
Example 3: solve by factorization method the equation
Solution: To factorization a quadratic equation means to express it as a

product of its factors.
Step 1: Find the product of the first and last terms.
Step 2: Find two terms / numbers such that their product is and

Therefore, we arrange the given equation to be in the same pattern as

the general form hence,
1. Formula method
Where . Recall formula is given as
2. Completing the square
Step 1: Rearrange the given equation so that the constant term is on

the right hand side of the equation i.e.
Divide through by the coefficient of (2) to make unity
Now add half the square of the middle term to both sides of the
equation i.e.
At this point simplify and solve for x
5 the same as in a.
ASSESSMENT

Solve the following pair of equation
Answer (4, 1), (– 8, – 3)
Word Problems
Example 7: The perimeter of a rectangle is 24cm and its area is 32cm 2.

Find the dimension of the rectangle.
Solution
Let the length of the rectangle be cm, and its width be cm

The perimeter of the rectangle = .
Perimeter = 24 cm. hence,
Area of rectangle = cm2
From the question, area of rectangle = 32cm2. Hence,
From equation (1), make x the subject to get equation (3) and
substitute into equation (2)
On rearranging we get a quadratic equation thus solving the equation

we get that
Substituting the value of y into equation (3), we have that
or
Pairing the terms terms together we have (4, 8), (8, 4)
Now, looking at the ordered pair above we can conclude that the answer
cannot be (4, 8) because the length x of the rectangle is shorter than
the width y hence our answer is the pair (8, 4) i.e. length x=8 and
width
Check: perimeter = , Area =

Example 8: Find two numbers whose difference is 4 and whose
product is 192.
Solution
Let the smaller number be x . Then the larger number is . Their

product is. Therefore,
The other number is 4 more, i.e. 12 + 4 =16 or – 16 + 4 = – 12.
The two numbers are 12 and 16 or – 16 and – 12.
Check: 12 ×16 = 192 and – 16 ×– 12 = 192.

Example 9: The product of two consecutive positive odd number is
195. By constructing a quadratic equation and solving it, find the two
numbers. (WAEC)
Solution
Let the first number = x
For two numbers to be consecutive it means after the first one comes
the second one immediately. Also, when 2 is added to an odd number it
gives us the next immediate odd number e.g. 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 +
2 = 7, and so on.
Therefore, let the second number =
The product of these two number equal 195 which implies that

Sine and Cosine Graphs
The diagram above shows how the sine and cosine graphs looks like but before
we proceed to solving / plotting our graphs, it is important we note a few key
points
1. All values of sinθ and cosθ lie between +1 and – 1.
2. The sine and cosine curves have the same wave shape but they start
from different points.
3. Each curve is symmetrical about its highest point / maximum point /

peak and lowest point / minimum point / trough. Therefore for any
value of sinθ there are usually two corresponding values of θ
between 0o and 360o . Likewise for cosθ . The only
exceptions to this are at the quarter points, where sinθ and cosθ
have the values shown below.
0o 90o 180o 270o 360o

3. Cone
4. Cylinder
5. Prism
6. Pyramid
The Sphere
A sphere is a solid or hollow object with a round shape. Examples of a

sphere are a tennis ball, football, orange etc.
A solid sphere with radius r can be represented below thus we have
 volume = 43πr3
 surface area / curved surface area = 4πr2
Example 1: Calculate the surface areas of the following spheres: (Take

π=227 )

m3 to 4 s.f.
Example 4: A solid has a radius of 5 cm and is made of metal of

density 7.2g/cm3. Calculate the mass of the sphere in kg.
Solution
Radius = 5 cm, density = 7.2g/cm3 =0.0072kg/cm3
Volume of sphere
Mass of sphere = density × volume

kg to 3 s.f.
Hemisphere
If we cut an orange, through the middle, into two equal parts, what we
get is a hemisphere. It does not matter whether we cut it vertically,
horizontally or in a slant direction. The hemisphere has a curved surface
and a flat surface. If we look at the flat surface, we see a circle and it
has a centre. The distance from this centre to any point on the surface
of the sphere is the same. This distance is called the radius of the
sphere.
 Volume = 46πr3
 Curved surface area = 2πr2
 Total surface area = curved surface area + area of flat surface
Example 4: A solid hemispherical bowl has a radius of 11.2 metres.

hemispherical in shape. If the diameter is 12.6 cm, what is the size of
wrapping paper that can be used to wrap it? Take π=3.142
Solution
Diameter = 12.6 cm, radius = half of the diameter =3
Total surface area = curved surface + area of flat surface
Area of wrapping paper needed = 374.12 cm2

circle.
2. Calculate the distance along the great circle.
3. Calculate radius of parallel of latitudes.
4. Calculate distance along the parallel of latitudes
Content
Various photographs of the earth taken from space has revealed that
the earth is spherical in shape and has a radius varying between 6300
km and 6400 km. The figure below shows a model of the earth which
consists of the following: The North and South poles, The polar axis NS
(the imaginary straight line through the centre of the earth from the
north to south ploe), The centre of the earth, The radius .
of the earth, R and The equator (the horizontial plane through the
centre and the perpendicular to the polar axis)
The circles drawn on the surface of the earth are imaginary line used to
represent the position of points on the earth surface. These circles are
called lines of latitude and lines of longitude
Concept of Latitude
A latitude is an angular displacement along the surface of the earth. The

displacement could be to the North or South. The circle on the surface
of the earth measured to the north or south are called lines of latitude.
The NS {North - South} pole is called the polar axis while the WE {West
- East} poles is called perpendicular to the polar axis. The meeting point
of NS and WE poles is the centre of the earth.
Other circles {lines of latitude} are called small circles or parallels of
latitudes except that circle that has the same centre with the centre of
the earth called the great circle or the equator. The range of latitude
is or of the equator. The latitude of the equator is
Concept of Longitude
Longitude are imaginary lines running from North to South on the

surface of the earth. They are angular displacements about the polar
axis of the earth. Longitude are called Great Circles because each of
them divides the earth into two equal halves. Longitudes are measured
along 180oE and 180oW of the Greenwich meridian. The
Greenwich meridian or sometimes called the Prime meridian is a
spherical longitude; it is longitude 0o . all other longitudes takes their
bearing from the Greenwich meridian. The Greenwich meridian is the
longitude that passes through a town called Greenwich in Britain and the
town Tema in Ghana.
Location of Latitude and Longitude
Any place on the earth’s surface can be specifically located by usually

writing an ordered pair of latitude (Lat) first and longitude (Long)
second for example or simply P(αoN, βoW
).
Example 1: sketch the positions of the following places on the earth’s

surface, ,
Solution
Angular Difference
The angle subtended at the centre of the great or small circle by the
minor arc formed by joining two places on the great or small circle
respectively is known as the angular difference between the two places.
These angular difference involves places usually along the same latitude
or longitude hence the following
1. Angular Difference on the same Longitude
Example 2: Find the angular difference between the following pairs of

places on the earth’s surface.

and the cross section through .
Angular difference
Note:
5. Generally, if two latitude lie on the same side of a longitude, the

angle between then is the difference in their angles latitude.
5. If two latitude lie on opposite side of a longitude, the angle

between them is the sum of their angles of latitude.
2. Angular Difference on the same Latitude

places on the surface of the earth.

Note:
5. Generally, if two longitude lie on the same side of a latitude, the

angle between then is the difference in their angles longitude.
5. If two longitude lie on opposite side of a latitude, the angle

between them is the sum of their angles of longitude.
Distance Along Great Circles (Shortest Distance)
The great circles as we already know are lines of longitude and the
equator, so the distance along great circles are distance along the
longitudes and the equator. Hence, the distance D between two points
along a great circle on the earth’s surface is given as
D=θ360×2πR
Where R= radius of the earth and θ angular difference between

the two points.
Example 4: Find the distance between the following pairs of point on

the earth’s surface. Take radius of the earth R=6,400 km.
1. A(30oN, 40oW) and B(30oS, 40oW)

2. C(40oN, 15oE) and D(10oN, 15oE)
3. E(0oS, 20oW) and B(0oS, 50oE)
Solution
1.
Point A and B lie along longitude (Long) 40oW with both

latitudes on opposite sides hence
Angular difference = 30o+30o=60o
The distance between and B is given as
km
2.
Point and lie along longitude (Long) with O as the centre of
the earth and both latitudes on the same side hence
Angular difference
The distance between and is given as
km
3.
Point E and F lie along latitude (Lat) 0oS with O as the centre of
the earth and both longitude on opposite sides hence
Angular difference = 20o+50o=70o
But since Lat 0oS is a great circle i.e. the equator hence
The distance D between E and F is given as
km
Radius of a Parallel of Latitude
As we move away from the equator towards the poles, the radii of
parallel of latitudes decreases therefore, the radius of the equator is the
largest and the radii at the North and South poles zero. To determine
the radius along the parallel of latitudes we use the relation
Where r = radius of the latitude, R = the radius of the earth

Lat= latitude in degrees. This is the relationship between r, R and Lat it
is true for all parallel of latitudes.
Example 5: Find the radius of the parallel of latitude 41oN, taking the
earth’s radius as 6370 km
Solution
km
Example 6: Using the value 6400 km for R, A point A(Lat 28oN, Long
33oE) and point B(Lat 28oN, Long 27oW) are two points on the surface
of the earth. Calculate the radius of the circle of Lat 28oN
WAEC
Solution
A(Lat 28oN, Long 33oE) and B(Lat 28oN, Long 27oW)

Since we are only interested in computing the radius along the lines of
latitude Lat=28
Therefore
r=6400×cos(28)=5650 km

Distance Along Parallels of Latitude (Small Circles)
The distance between two points say and along the parallel of Lat
with r as the radius and R as the radius of the earth is given by
But since therefore,

In a special case where the latitude is the equator, automatically

Content
Cartesian Rectangular Coordinate
Where trying to draw a graph, it is important to have two fixed

reference line called coordinate axis. One is horizontal and the other is
vertical, and they intersect one another at right angles. The horizontal
line is generally known as the coordinate or the x axis, while the
vertical line is called the y axis and the point where they intersect is
called the origin.
With reference to these fixed point axes we are able to locate any point
P in a plane sheet of paper by means of its perpendicular distances from
the x and y axes. So a point P with perpendicular distance b and a from
x and y axes respectively is generally expressed as ordered pair of
numbers (a, b) called the Cartesian rectangular coordinate or simply the
coordinates of P. They are said to be ordered because they are written
down in a fixed order with the x number always coming first .
The perpendicular distance from the y axis (b) is called the ordinate
while the perpendicular distance from the x axis (a) is called the abscissa
which is always written first eg H(3, 6), K(2, 7) etc.
Example 1: On a diagram plot the following points
Solution
, .
Drawing of Straight Line Graphs
A graph generally consists of a set of points whose coordinates satisfy

the equation of the graph. So to plot a line or linear graph, we need to
have a linear equation usually called a linear function. The general form
of a linear functions or equation is given as
Where and are constants and has power 1. I trust case we say is
a linear function of . For example, the equation is a linear
funtion of with and .
In order to draw the graph of a linear function like the one above, the
following steps are usually taken
1. Construct the table of values for x and y for the given equation.
2. Find a suitable scale for x and y axes. This depend on the space
available for the graph.
3. Draw the x and y axes on graph paper with the chosen scale.
4. Plot the points from the table of values on the graph paper and
join the points using a ruler.
Example 2: Construct a table of values for the equation

by considering . Hence plot the graph
Solution
Step 1: The table of values is constructed by calculating the value of

y which correspond to each value of x as shown below
x -2 -1 0 1 2
3x -6 -3 0 3 6
2 2 2 2 2 2
y -4 -1 2 5 8
Note: this table if values can be expressed as ordered pair of coordinate

points as follows .
Step 2: the table values show that x ranges from - 2 to 2 and y ranges
from - 4 to 8. This allows us to choose a suitable scale of 2cm to 1 unit
along x axis and 1cm to 1 unit along the y axis.
Now we perform steps 3 and 4 by plotting the points and joining them
up as shown in the graph below.
Example 3: plot a graph to illustrate the relationship between time and

distance for a particular car journey using the table below hence, find
1. How far did the car go in 35 min?
2. How long did it take the car to travel 25 km?
Time t (min) 10 20 30 40 50
Distance d 6 12 18 24 30
(km)
Solution
1. With a suitable scale, the graph of the relationship between time
and distance is shown below
2. From the graph t = 35 mins along the horizontal axis corresponds

to d = 21 km. so the car travelled about 21 km in 35 mins.
3. Similarly d = 25 km along the vertical axis corresponds to t = 42

mins. So it took about 42 mins to travel 25 km
Distance Between Two Coordinate Points

Let P(x1, y2) and Q(x2, y2) be any two points. The distance between
P and Q is found by completing the right-angled triangle PQR with right
angle at R. By Pythagoras theorem

Gradient and Intercepts
In mathematics, the term gradient or slope is often used to describe

how steeply a straight line lies. Given two points and
to form a line , we define the gradient of the line as the ratio
going from one point to another along line .

Let be the gradient of line , then
m=increase in yincrease in 1
By trigonometrical ratio,
Thus the gradient of a line can also be the tangent of the angle which
the line makes with the x axis.

points:

Given points and) gradient m is given as
1. and
2. x1, y1=(2, 0) and

3. and
Remark: No matter whichever two points we pick on a straight line we

will always find that the gradient is the same. So the gradient of a
straight line is constant. Also, the gradient can either be positive,
negative or zero.
Another important characteristic of a straight line is what is called the

intercept. This is the line that cuts both the x and y axes.
General form of a Straight Line
The general form or equation of a line is given as
y=mx+c
Where m = gradient and c = intercept.
Thus, without drawing the line graph we can get the gradient and
intercept directly from the equation of the line.

Answer is
Intercept Form: The equation of a straight line can be obtained if the
two intercepts which the line makes with the axis are given. Let a and
b be the given intercepts on the x and y axis then
this is known as the intercept form of the equation of a straight line
Example 4:
Write down the equations of the lines making the following intercepts
and on and axes respectively and rewrite the equations in the

Equation of the line which makes a and b intercepts on x and y axis

respectively is given by

Angles between Two Lines

In the figure above, the line AB (gradient ) and (gradient )
make angles respectively with the x -axis. The acute angle
between the lines is θ .
The exterior angle (of the triangle PQR)
If , we obtain the obtuse angle . The acute angle

2. , then ( which case the two lines are

parallel to each other)
3. then (i.e. the two lines are perpendicular to
each other)
Therefore, from the above we can clearly state the conditions for
parallelism and perpendicularity below:
Parallelism: Two lines are said to be parallel if the angle between them
is zero and hence
Perpendicularity: Two lines are perpendicular if the angle them is

and hence

Differential Coefficient of a Function
The study of the rates of change of variables with respect to other

variables has led to the emergence of an important branch of
mathematics called differential calculus.
Now suppose , then a little change in y will also lead to a little

change in x therefore,
Thus
Hence the read as “dee dee x” is called the

differential coefficient or derivative of y with respect to x. other notations
equivalent to are read as f prime x , or f dash of x or

y’ read as y prime or y dash.
Note
1. is the slope or gradient of the tangent to the curve
2. It is sometimes called the gradient function of the curve
3. The rate of change of y with respect to x, the derived function.
Differentiation is the process of finding the differential coefficient or

the derivative of a function.

Maximum, Minimum and Point of Inflexion
To determine whether a stationary /turning point is a maximum or

minimum point or a point of inflexion, we examine the derivative in their
neighborhoods.
Thus, near the maximum point changes sign from positive to
negative as increases. Therefore is a decreasing function and
so is negative.
Similarly near a minimum point is an increasing function since
changes from negative to positive and hence is positive.
Near point of inflexion dydx does not change: . Hence

at turning points
1. If , then there is a maximum point.
2. If , then there is a minimum point.

Rectilinear Motion
This is the motion of a particle along a straight line. It is specified by the

equation , where x is the distance of the particle from an initial
point 0, and t is the time.
If a direction is associated with the distance, we have a displacement.

The velocity of a particle P is therefore the time rate of change of
displacement. If is the velocity then
Where x is the displacement. Hence we note that
1. If the particle moves away from 0, the initial point, .
2. If the particle moves towards 0, the initial point .

3. If the particle is momentarily at rest .
The acceleration of a particle P is the rate of change of velocity. If a

particle P has accelerated at a time , then
Therefore, we note the following
1. If the velocity of the particle is increasing then the

particle is said to be accelerating.
2. If the velocity of the particle decreases, then the

particle is said to be decelerating or retarding.
3. If the particle moves at a constant speed .
