2 2
12x – 3x2 + 60 – 15x = 42
-3x2 – 3x + 18 = 0
Solving the quadratic equation in x
-3x2 – 3x + 18 = 0
-3x2 -9x + 6x + 18 = 0
- (3x2 + 9x) + (6x + 18) = 0
- 3x (x + 3) + 6(x + 3) = 0
(x + 3) (-3x + 6) = 0

CONTENT
TRIGONOMETRIC RATIOS
DEFINITIONS
Any two right-angled triangles which contain an acute angle θ are similar triangles. Hence the corresponding ratios of the sides of the triangles are equal and are called trigonometric (or trig.) ratios of the angle θ.
Let ABC be right-angled triangle in figure below such that AB = c, BC = a and AC = b.
B
a c
C A
b
The longest side AB is called the hypotenuse, of the triangle. BC is called the opposite side to angle θ while AC is called the adjacent side to angle θ
The three basic trig. ratios are Sine, Cosine and Tangent (abbreviated respectively as sin, cos and tan) and are defined as
Sin θ = opposite/Hypotenuse = a/c
Cos θ = adjacent/Hypotenuse = b/c
Tan θ = opposite/Adjacent = a/b
The reciprocals of the three basic trig. ratios are also trig. ratios defined as
Cosecant 1/sine, Secant = 1/cosine and Cotangent = 1/Tangent
They are abbreviated, respectively, as:
Cosec, Sec, and Cot. Therefore using figure above
Cosecθ = 1/sinθ = Hypotenuse/Opposite = c/a
Secθ = 1/cosθ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent = c/b
Cot θ = 1/Tanθ = Adjacent/Opposite = b/a
Example 1: Find from mathematical tables, the angle θ0 such that
(a) Sinθ0 = 0.8043
(b) Cosθ 0= 0.1142
(c) Tanθ 0= 0.3907
Solution
(a) θ 0 = 53.540
(b) θ 0 = 83.440
(c) θ0 = 21.340
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.
Find from mathematical tables, the angle θ0 such that
(a) Sinθ0 = 0.6745
(b) Cosθ 0= 0.3754
(c) Tanθ 0= 0.1864

(a) Sinθ0 = 0.5603
(b) Cosθ 0= 0.5671
(c) Tanθ 0= 0.1476
SPECIFIC TOPIC: PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on Pythagoras theorem
CONTENT
PYTHAGORAS THEORM
In right angle triangle, the side that faces the right-angle (i.e angle 900) is the hypotenuse side. The relationship between this hypotenuse side and the remaining two sides is what the Pythagoras theorem is all about.
a c
b
Thus, if squares are drawn on all the sides of the right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares on the two sides containing the right-angle equals the squares of the hypotenuse side alone.
So a2 + b2 = c2
The equation is used to solve for any one side in right-angle triangle when the other two sides are given. Sometimes the equation above can be manipulated in various ways depending on the question to be solved.
Example 1: In diagram below, solve for the value of /SR/
p
15 13
S R 5 Q
SOLUTION
From the diagram/SR/ = /SQ/ - /RQ/
In triangle PQR: /PQ/2 + /RQ/2 = /PR/2 (Pythagoras theorem)
/PQ/2 + 52 = 132
= 169 – 25
= 144
/PQ/ = 144
/PQ/ = 12
From triangle PQS: /PQ/2 + /SQ/2 = /PS/2
122 + /SQ/2 = 152
144 + /SQ/2 = 225
/SQ/2 = 225 - 144
/SQ/2 = 81
/SQ/ = 81
/SQ/ = 9

The gradient at any point on a curve is defined as the gradient of the tangent to the curve at that point.
y
θ P
O T x
In figure above the gradient of the curve at point P is the gradient of the tangent TP, i.e. tan θ.
The tangent is drawn by placing a ruler against the curve at P and drawing a line, taking care that the ‘angles’ between the line and the curve appear equal.
Notice that the gradient of a straight line is the same at any point on the line, but that the gradient of a curve changes from point to point.

REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on differentiation of function
CONTENT: DIFFERENTIATION OF FUNCTIONS
Derivative of a function is positive over the range where it is increasing and negative where it is decreasing.
Example 1: Find the range of values of x for which the function 2x3 + 3x2 – 12x + 5 is increasing.
Solution
Let y = 2x3 + 3x2 – 12x + 5
Then dy/dx = 6x2 + 6x – 12
= 6(x2 + x -2)
= 6(x + 2)(x – 1)
The function is increasing when dy/dx > 0
(x + 2)(x – 1) > 0 when x >1 or when x < -2.
So the function is increasing when x > 1 or when x < -2
But function is decreasing when dy/dx < 0
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.

SPECIFIC TOPIC: STATIONARY POINTS
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Differentiate function in its stationary point
CONTENT: STATIONARY POINTS
A point on a curve at which dy/dx = 0 is called a stationary point and the value of the function represented by the curve at that point is called its stationary value.
At such points the tangent is parallel to the x- axis. To find the stationary points let dy/dx = 0 and solve the resulting equation.
Example 1: Find the stationary points of the function 4x3 + 15x2 – 18x + 7
Solution
For this function f’(x) = 12x2 + 30x1 – 18
= 6(2x2 + 5x – 3)
=6(2x – 1)(x + 3)
Hence f’(x) = 0 when x = ½ or -3
The function has two stationary points and its stationary values (at these points) are 9/4 and 88.
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.

SPECIFIC TOPIC: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM POINT
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on the points
CONTENT: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM POINTS
Example 1: Find the stationary points of y = 4x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 1 and distinguish between them
Solution
Dy/dx = 12x2 – 6x – 6
= 6(2x2 – x – 1)
= 6(2x + 1)(x – 1)
So dy/dx = 0 when x = 1 or – ½ . Hence there are two stationary points.
At point x = - ½
= 4(- ½ )3 – 3(- ½ )2 – 6( - ½ ) + 1
= 2 ¾
At point x = 1
= 4(1)3 – 3(1)2 – 6(1) + 1
Y = - 4
Hence at x = - ½ is maximum and ta x = 1 is minimum

Derivative of a function is positive over the range where it is increasing and negative where it is decreasing.
Example 1: Find the range of values of x for which the function 2x3 + 3x2 – 12x + 5 is increasing.
Solution
Let y = 2x3 + 3x2 – 12x + 5
Then dy/dx = 6x2 + 6x – 12
= 6(x2 + x -2)
= 6(x + 2)(x – 1)
The function is increasing when dy/dx > 0
(x + 2)(x – 1) > 0 when x >1 or when x < -2.
So the function is increasing when x > 1 or when x < -2
But function is decreasing when dy/dx < 0

Example 1: Find the stationary points of the function 4x3 + 15x2 – 18x + 7
Solution
For this function f’(x) = 12x2 + 30x1 – 18
= 6(2x2 + 5x – 3)
=6(2x – 1)(x + 3)

Example 1: Find the stationary points of y = 4x3 – 3x2 – 6x + 1 and distinguish between them
Solution
Dy/dx = 12x2 – 6x – 6
= 6(2x2 – x – 1)
= 6(2x + 1)(x – 1)
So dy/dx = 0 when x = 1 or – ½ . Hence there are two stationary points.
At point x = - ½
= 4(- ½ )3 – 3(- ½ )2 – 6( - ½ ) + 1
= 2 ¾
At point x = 1
= 4(1)3 – 3(1)2 – 6(1) + 1
Y = - 4

MAIN TOPIC: COSINE AND SINE RULE AND THIER APPLICATIONS
SPECIFIC TOPIC: SINE RULE
REFFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for senior secondary school, book 2
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using sine rule
CONTENT: SINE RULE
The basic thing about the sine formula is that the sides are proportional to the sines of the opposite angles to them. Two different cases will be examined to derive the sine formula. These are:
(a) Acute- angled triangle
(b) Obtuse – angled triangle
(a) Sine formula from acute – angled triangle:
A
C b
B C
a D
From the ABC, draw a perpendicular AD to BC
In ABC: sin B = AD/C
AD = C Sin B .................................................................................. (1)
In ACD: sin C = AD/b
AD = bsin C ................................................................................... (2)
Equating (1) and (2)
CsinB = b sinC
Sin B/SinC = b/c sin B/b = sinC/c
Similarly sin A/ Sin b sin A/a = sin B/b
And sinA/sinC = a/c sinA/a = sinC/c
The three deductions are therefore combined as
SinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
Or a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
(b) Sine formula from obtuse-angled triangle;
A
C b
B a C D
From the ABC, draw a perpendicular AD to BC produced.
Angles ACB and ACD are supplementary
AD = csinB .............................................. (I)
In ACD
AD = bsinC ............................................... (II)
From the above:
Sin ACD = sin ACB = sin C
From (i) and (ii)
CsinB = bsinC
b/c = sinB/sinC
Similarly a/b = sin A /sin B
And
a/c = sinA/sinC
Combining the result:
Then sinA/a = sinB/b = sinC/c
The above formula is used to solve problems connected with any triangle where most especially either.
(i) Two angles (in other words, all the three angles) and one side are known.
(ii) Two (or non-included angle) are given.
SPECIFIC TOPIC: APPLICATION OF SINE RULE
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems using application of sine rule

Solution A
540
C b
B 670 590 C
a
ACB = 1800 - (54 + 67) = 590
Using sine formula
a/sinA = b/sinB
Then 13.9/sin54 = b/sin67
Cross multiplying
b = 13.9 x sin670 = 13.9 x 0.9205
sin 540 0.8090
= 15.82
= 15.8m
To find c
Angle C = 180 – (67 + 54)0 angles in a triangle = 590
Using sine formula
a/sinA = c/sinC
13.9/sin 540 = c/sin 590
Cross multiplying: c = 13.9m x sin590
0.8090
= 14.73
= 14.7m

The cosine formula, just like sine formula is used to solve for the unknowns in a triangle.
The cosine formula is especially used to solve triangles with the following dimension:
(i) Two sides with the angle between them given.
(ii) Three sides of the triangle are given.
Two cases of proving the cosine formula shall be considered as follows:
(a) Acute – angled triangle
(b) Obtuse – angled triangle.

C B

Let BD = x
From figure above CD = a –x
In triangle ABC, AD2 = AB2 – BD2 (Pythagoras theorem)
= c2 – x2 .......................................... (i)
In triangle ACD, AD2 = AC2 – CD2 (Pythagoras theorem)
From figure above = b2 – (a – x)2 .................................... (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii)
B2 – (a – x)2 = c2 – x2
B2 – a2 + 2ax – x2 = c2 – x2
Then 2ax = a2 + c2 –b2 ................................... (iii)
But from ABD
Cos B = x/c
X = cCosB
Substituting for x in equation (iii)
2ac Cos B = a2 + c2 – b2
Therefore, cosB = a2 + b2 – c2
2ac
Similarly, cos C = a2 + b2 – c2
2ab
CosA = b2 + c2 – a2
2bc
The above formulae are suitable for calculating various angles. The formulae may then be transformed, through change of subject of formula to derive the process of calculating the various sides as follows.
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc Cos A
b2 = a2 + c2 - 2ac Cos B
c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab Cos C

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Solve problems on bearing and distance
CONTENT: BEARING AND DISTANCES
Suppose that two points(or objects) X and Y lie on the same horizontal plane. The bearing of Y from X is the position or direction of Y with reference to X, the reference point. The bearing of Y from X is measured as the size of the angle the line XY makes with North or South direction at X.
There are two conventions for describing bearings. One convention describes the bearing of Y from X as the angle which the line XY makes with the North direction at X measured in the clockwise direction from the North at X. Such a bearing is
N Y
600
X
Fig. a
Written with 3 digits. If the bearing is less than 100 , then we write two zeros (00), to precede the angle, e.g. 0050. If the bearing lies between 100 and 1000, and 10 is inclusive, then we write 0 to precede angle. Thus for example, if the angle is 600, then the bearing is 0600, as shown in fig.a above.
The second convention is to describe the bearing of Y from X as the acute angle which the line XY makes Eastwards or Westwards with the North or South direction at X. Thus, in figure above, the bearing of Y from X is North 600 East (or N600E).
Example 1: The bearing of Y from X is 0700. What is the bearing of X from Y?

Therefore, θ = 56.310
Therefore, Bearing of C from A is 0150 + 056.310
i.e 071.310
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following problems.
A man drives 5km north from his home and then 10km on a bearing of 0600 to his office. (a) How far is the office from his home? (b) what is the bearing of his office from his home?

CONTENT: BEARING AND DISTANCES
A boat sails 6km from a port X on a bearing of 0650 and thereafter 13km on a bearing of 1360. What is the distance and bearing of the boat from X?
Solution
Let Y and Z represent the two stopping positions during the journey. In the diagram below, X is the starting position, XY = 6km on bearing 0650. (the alternate angle between south and west inside XYZ ie a = 650 ). Also, YZ = 13km on a bearing of 1360, b = 1800 - 1360 = 440 as indicated.
By cosine formula, XZ will be calculated.
Y
1360
650 440
Z =6cm x = 13km
650 θ
X Z
a= 650 (alternate angles)
b= 1800 - 1360 (sum of angles on a straight line)
= 440
XYZ = a + b
= 650 + 440
= 1090
Let XZ = ykm
Using Cosine rule
Y2 = x2 + z2 – 2xz Cos Y
Y2 = 132 + 62 – 2 x 13 x 6 cos 1090
Y2 = 169 + 36 – 156 x –cos71
Y2 = 205 + 156 x 0.3256
Y2 = 205 + 50.79
Y2 = 255.79
Y = 255.79
Y = 15.99km
Y = 16km (to the nearest km)
To find the bearing of Z from X
We need to find the value of θ first by using sine forfula.
x/sinX = y/sinY
13/Sinθ = 15.99/sin 1090
Sinθ = 13 sin 1090
15.99
Sinθ = 13 x 0.9455
15.99
= 12.2915
15.99
Sinθ = 0.7687
θ= sin -1 (0.7687)
θ= 50.240.
The bearing of Z from X is the sum of the bearing of Y from X and the value of Q
i.e 650 + 50.240
= 115.240
= 1150 ( to the nearest degree)
EVALUATION: The lesson is evaluated as the students are asked to solve the following questions.
Three towns A,B and C are such that the distance between A and B is 50km and the distance between A and C is 90km. If the bearing of B from A is 0750 and the bearing of C from A is 3100, find the

Solve problems on bearing and distance
CONTENT: BEARING AND DISTANCES
Suppose that two points(or objects) X and Y lie on the same horizontal plane. The bearing of Y from X is the position or direction of Y with reference to X, the reference point. The bearing of Y from X is measured as the size of the angle the line XY makes with North or South direction at X.
There are two conventions for describing bearings. One convention describes the bearing of Y from X as the angle which the line XY makes with the North direction at X measured in the clockwise direction from the North at X. Such a bearing is
N Y

X
Fig. a
Written with 3 digits. If the bearing is less than 100 , then we write two zeros (00), to precede the angle, e.g. 0050. If the bearing lies between 100 and 1000, and 10 is inclusive, then we write 0 to precede angle. Thus for example, if the angle is 600, then the bearing is 0600, as shown in fig.a above.
The second convention is to describe the bearing of Y from X as the acute angle which the line XY makes Eastwards or Westwards with the North or South direction at X. Thus, in figure above, the bearing of Y from X is North 600 East (or N600E).
Example 1: The bearing of Y from X is 0700. What is the bearing of X from Y?
