Sample of Gr. 11 Notes

Exercise 2.1
  Sketch the following graphs by using the dual intercept method:
1. y = x - 2                    2.   y = 5 - x                        3.   y = 2x + 7
4. y = 3x - 5                  5.   x - y + 3 = 0                  6.   3x + 4y - 5 = 0
     
     
2.1.2     Relationship between points.                                                                - AS 11.2.1, AS 11.2.3
   Study the table below:
  
x 1 2 3 8 b
y 4 5 6 a 103
   How can you calculate the value of y if you know the value of x?
   Compare : 4 = 1 + 3,       5 = 2 + 3,       6 = 3 + 3
   We conclude that y is 3 more than x for any value of x - we write y = x + 3
   The relationship in words: y is 3 more than x OR y is equal to the sum of x and 3
   The relationship in symbols: y = x + 3
   Now use this formula to calculate the values of a and b.
   y = x + 3 :  a = 8 + 3                       103 = b + 3
                        = 11                      103 - 3 = b
                                                          100 = b
   Are our calculated values correct? We said the relationship is: y is 3 more than x.
   Now: 11 is 3 more than 8 and 103 is 3 more as 100. We conclude that our values are correct.
     
     
Exercise 2.2
1. Study the tables below. Write down in words and in symbols the relationship between x and y
   and then calculate the values represented by the letters:
     
1.1
x 1 2 6 8 b
y 4 3 -1 a -4
     
1.2
x 1 3 6 9 d
y -4 -2 1 c 11
     
1.3
x 2 3 7 12 f
y 6 5 1 e 4
