P.166 Question 9: Add 5 to 4 times of a number p and the sum is greater than 33.

Add 5 “+5” 4 times of a number p “4p” The sum “4p+5” Then, the inequality is “4p+5 > 33”

P.166 Question 11: When the sum of a number s and 3 is multiplied by 2, the product is smaller than -10.

The sum of s and 3 “s+3” Multiplied by 2 “2” The product “(s+3) 2” or 2(s+3) The inequality is “2(s+3) < -10”

P.166 Question 13a: Mike has 2 packs of $1.9 stamps, 1 pack of $2.4 stamps and y packs of $1.4 stamps. Each pack contains 10 pieces of stamps. Write an inequality…

2 packs of $1.9 2 $1.9 10 = $38 1 pack of $2.4 1 $2.4 10 = $24 y packs of $1.4 y $1.4 10 = $14y Total value $38+$24+$14y The inequality is $38+$24+$14y <$100

or 14y+62 < 100

P.166 Question 13b: Find the value of y if the total value of the stamps that Mike has is $76.

Total value $38+$24+$14y The equation is $38+$24+$14y = $76

or 14y+62 = 76 14y = 14

y = 1 Therefore, y = 1. or “Mike has one pack of $1.4 stamps.”

A formula is an equation with◦ At least 1 variables on the right of equal sign.◦ Only 1 variable (Subject) on the left of equal sign.

e.g. A = (U + L) H 2◦ A is the subject of the formula◦ U, L and H are the variables of the formula

Do you know what this formula means?

P.169 Question 18: v = u + gt(u = -8, g = 10, t = 3, v = ?)

v = u + gt = (-8) + (10) (3) Method of

substitution = -8 + 30 = 22

P.169 Question 20: In the formula S=88+0.5t , if S=120, find the value of t.

S = 88 + 0.5t (120) = 88 + 0.5t

120 - 88 = 0.5t 32 = 0.5t

32 2 = t 64 = t

t = 64

P.169 Question 22a: It is given that V=Ah3. If V = 40 and h = 6, find the value of A.

V = Ah 3 (40) = A (6) 3

40 3 = 6A 120 = 6A

120 6 = A 20 = A A = 20

P.169 Question 22b: It is given that V=Ah3. Find the value of h such that A = 5 and the value of V is half of that given in (a)

In (a), V = 40. So, in (b), V = 20.V = Ah 3

(20) = (5) h 3 20 3 = 5h

60 = 5h 60 5 = h

h = 12

A Sequence is a group of numbers with number pattern.

Each number in the sequence is called a Term.

The first one in the sequence is called the First Term.

In the sequence, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, … 2 is the first term, 4 is the 2nd term, 6 is … The general term (通項 ) is 2n or an=2n
