And even when we're relaxing, and playing games maths is necessary
to keep the score and work out who has won!
So maths is used extensively in everyday life – in college, in
workplaces and in our leisure time, which means a great deal depends
on it.
Think of some of the ways that mathematics is used in your
everyday life and list them in the box below:

Positive and
Negative NumberThe basis of mathematics is our numbering system
Positive (+ve): a number greater than zero.
It can be written with or without the plus sign (+).
Example: Positive 3 is written as +3 or 3.
Negative (−ve): a number smaller than zero.
It is indicated with a minus sign (−).
Example: Negative 4 is written as −4.
The positive and negative numbers can be represented on a hori-
zontal number line, as shown below.
If a signed number is a whole number
(for example, 2), it is called an integer.
If a signed number has decimal points
(for example, 2.74) it is called a decimal number.
Integers and Decimals

Examples:
5–2=3, and 15−4=11
−5+2=−3, and –10+3=–7
Let’s look at using the number line to do this
When we add a +ve number, we move in the +ve direction
(forwards)
When we add a −ve number, we move in the −ve direction
(backwards)
Example: Work out 1+2−5. This is (+1)+(+2)+(−5).
We start from 0.
(+1) is +ve so we move forwards by 1 unit and reach +1
(+2) is +ve so we move forward by 2 units and reach +3.
(−5) is −ve so we move backwards by 5 units and reach −2.
Using the rules, gives similarly 1+2−
5=3−
5=−
2.

Subtracting IntegersSubtracting two numbers gives their difference.
To subtract two integers, first we follow the rules –(+)=(−) and –(−)=
(+), and then we add the numbers as explained above.
Examples: (+5)–(+2)=5–2=3; –3–(–5)= –3+5=2.
When we add or subtract more than two integers, we work from
left to right.
Example: −2−(−10)+20=−2+10+20=8+20=28
Multiplication andDivision of IntegersMultiplying two numbers gives their product.
Dividing two numbers gives their quotient.
(Take the division 20¸4=5. The remainder is 0 so we say that 20 is
divided exactly by 4 or 20 divides by 4 or 4 divides into 20).
When we multiply or divide two signed numbers we may omit thebrackets around +ve numbers but we must keep the brackets
around −ve numbers.

Example
(+2)×(−3) can be written as 2×(−3) but not as 2×−3.
When we multiply or divide two integers, we get:
a positive result, if the integers have the same sign
a negative result, if the integers have different signs.
That is, (+)×(+)=(+) (+)÷(+)=(+)
(−)×(−)=(+) (−)÷(−)=(+)
(+)×(−)=(−) (+)÷(−)=(−)
(−)×(+)=(−) (−)÷(+)=(−)
Examples:
3×2=6, (−3)×(−2)=6, 3×(−2)=−6, (−3)×2=−6.
10÷2=5, (−10)÷(−2)=5, 10÷(−2)=−5, (−10)÷2=−5.

Adding and
Subtracting DecimalsIf you know how to add and subtract whole numbers, then you can
add and subtract decimals! Let's look at an example.
To add these numbers, first arrange the terms vertically, aligning
the decimal points in each term. Don't forget, for a whole numberlike the first term, the decimal point lies just to the right of the
ones column. You can add zeroes to the right of the decimal point
to make it easier to align the columns. Then add the columns
working from the right to the left, positioning the decimal point in
the answer directly under the decimal points in the terms.
Here's a subtraction example:
To subtract these numbers, first arrange the terms vertically,
aligning the decimal points in each term. You can add zeroes to the
right of the decimal point, to make it easier to align the columns.
Then subtract the columns working from the right to the left,
putting the decimal point in the answer directly underneath the
decimal points in the terms. Check your answer by adding it to the
second term and making sure it equals the first.

Multiplying
Decimals NumbersMultiplying decimals is almost the same as multiplying with whole
numbers. The only difference is that the number of decimal places
in the answer must be the same as the total number of decimal
places in the question.

Dividing
Decimals NumbersIf we want to divide two numbers, and one or both of them are
decimal numbers, then:
first we multiply both of them with the same power of 10 (i.e. 10,
100, 1000 …) to make both of them whole numbers, and then we
divide the two whole numbers.
Divide 20 by 0.4
Answer:
Dividing 20 by 0.4 gives the fraction 20/0.4
The numerator is a whole number. The denominator has 1 d.p. so to
convert it to a whole number we need to multiply it by 101=10.
If we have a fraction, we can multiply both the numerator anddenominator by the same number. So in this case we multiply both
20 and 0.4 by 10. This gives
200/4=50 and so 20/0.4=50

There’s nothing mysterious! An exponent is simply shorthand for
multiplying that number of identical factors. So 4³ is the same as(4)(4)(4), three identical factors of 4.
Multiplying exponents with the same base:
When you are multiplying terms with the same base you can add
the exponents.
This means: 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 or 4 · 4 · 4 · 4 · 4 · 4 · 4
When you are dividing terms with the same base you can subtract
the exponents.
This means: 4 x 4 x 4 or 4 · 4 · 4

Perfect Squares and
Square RootsWe know that to square a number we just multiply it by itself.
A square root goes the other way:
3 squared is 9, so a square root of 9 is 3
A square root of a number is a value that can be multiplied by
itself to give the original number.
A square root of 9 is 3, because when 3 is multiplied by itself you
get 9.
1 Squared = 12 = 1 × 1 = 1
2 Squared = 22 = 2 × 2 = 4
3 Squared = 32 = 3 × 3 = 9
4 Squared = 42 = 4 × 4 = 16
5 Squared = 52 = 5 × 5 = 25
6 Squared = 62 = 6 × 6 = 36
7/28/2019 AFM7000 Student Workbook
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/afm7000-student-workbook 19/28
The Square RootThis is the special symbol that means "square root",
you would say "square root of 9 equals 3"
Example: What is √25?
We know that 25 = 5 × 5, so if you multiply 5 by itself (5 × 5) you
will get 25.
So the answer is: √25 = 5
Example: What is √36 ?
Answer: 6 × 6 = 36, so √36 = 6
Perfect Squares
The perfect squares are the squares of whole numbers
Try to remember at least the first 10 of those.

Order of OperationsSome expressions include powers and other operations.
BIDMAS gives the order in which operations should be carried out.
Remember that BIDMAS stands for:
Brackets, Indices, Division and Multiplication , Addition and Sub-
traction
If there are brackets, work out the value of the expression in
the brackets first.
Square roots are carried out at the same stage as indices.
If there are no brackets, do multiplication and division before
addition and subtraction no matter where they come in an ex-
pression.
If an expression has only addition and subtraction then work it
out from left to right.
Try these examples:
= ................................262 =. ....................................
32 1010

Problem Solving and
Application of Mathematics
in the Real WorldWe have so far looked at example questions with numbers only.
Maths can help us solve real life problems. In this section you will
use your mathematical skills to problem solve some real life
problems:
1. A child is entered into the hospital after ingesting 12 aspirin
tablets. The Merck Index indicates that renal failure can occur if
as little as 3 grams is ingested, and may be fatal if as much as
10grams is eaten. If each aspirin tablet contains 300 mg of aspirin,
is the child in danger of death or renal failure?
