  • Introduction

    This booklet is designed as a companion to Maths Quest 11 Advanced General Mathematics Second Edition.

    It contains worked examples from the student text that have been re-worked using the TI-Nspire CX CAS calculator with Operating System v3.

    The content of this booklet will be updated online as new operating systems are released by Texas Instruments.

    The companion is designed to assist students and teachers in making decisions about the judicious use of CAS technology in answering mathematical questions.

    The calculator companion booklet is also available as a PDF fi le on the eBookPLUS under the preliminary section of Maths Quest 11 Advanced General Mathematics Second Edition.

    a 1 f (x) = 4x 1 is linear. The domain is x R+ or x (0, ).

    a When x = 0, f (0) = 4(0) 1 = 1

    2 f (0) = 1, but (0, 1) is not included and therefore this lower end of the range must be represented using a round bracket. State the range.

    If f: (, 1] R, f (x) = x2 + 2x + 2, find the domain, range and rule of f 1(x), and sketch the graphs of f and f 1 on the same set of axes.

    Think WriTe

    1 First, determine if the inverse function, f 1(x), exists. Since f (x) = x2 + 2x + 2 is an upright parabola, it is necessary to

    locate the turning point using =

    xb

    x2

    21

    Since the turning point occurs at x = 1, and the domain is x (, 1], f (x) is a 11 function and f 1(x) exists.

    2 Determine the range of f (x). The domain is x (, 1], so substitute the end value of x to determine the range (this value is at the turning point).

    x = 1 f (1) = 1 2 + 2

    = 1The point (1, 1) is the minimum point on the graph.

    3 The domain of f (x) = the range of f 1(x). The range of f (x) = the domain of f 1(x).State the domain and range of f 1(x).

    Domain f (x): x (, 1] range of f 1(x) is y (, 1]Range of f (x): y [1, ) Domain of f 1(x) is [1, )

    A train (denoted as train 1) leaves station A and moves in the direction of station B with an average speed of 60 km/h. Half an hour later another train (denoted as train 2) leaves station A and moves in the direction of the first train with an average speed of 70 km/h. Find:a the time needed for the second train to catch up with the first trainb the distance of both trains from station A at that time.

    think Write

    1 Define the variables.Note: Since the first train left half an hour earlier, the time taken for it to reach the meeting point will be x + 0.5.

    Let x = the time taken for train 2 to reach train 1. Therefore, the travelling time, t, for each train is:Train 1: t1 = x + 0.5Train 2: t2 = x

    2 Write the speed of each train. Train 1: v1 = 60Train 2: v2 = 70

    3 Write the distance travelled by each of the trains from station A to the point of the meeting.(Distance = speed time.)

    Train 1: d1 = 60(x + 0.5)Train 2: d2 = 70x

    4 Equate the two expressions for distance.Note: When the second train catches up with the first train, they are the same distance from station A that is, d1 = d2.

    When the second train catches up with the first train, d1 = d2.

    Two hamburgers and a packet of chips cost $8.20, while one hamburger and two packets of chips cost $5.90. Find the cost of a packet of chips and a hamburger.

    think Write

    1 Define the two variables. Let x = the cost of one hamburger.Let y = the cost of a packet of chips.

    2 Formulate an equation from the first sentence and call it [1].Note: One hamburger costs $x, two hamburgers cost $2x. Thus, the total cost of cost of two hamburgers and one packet of chips is 2x + y and it is equal to $8.20.

    2x + y = 8.20 [1]

    3 Formulate an equation from the second sentence and call it [2].Note: One packet of chips costs $y, two packets cost $2y. Thus, the total cost of two packets of chips and one hamburger is x + 2y and it is equal to $5.90.

    think Write/display

    1 On a Lists & Spreadsheet page, enter values and label in column A:radius: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and in column B: tsa 12.57, 50.27, 113.1, 201.06, 314.16

    To check the power relationship, press: MENU b 4: Analyse 4 6: Regression 6 7: Show power 7In X List select x; in Y List select y

    3 Comment on the graph obtained. The graph is not a straight line, passing through the origin, so direct variation does not exist between the two variables. Hence, there is no direct variation between the radius and the total surface area of the sphere.

    4 Make assumptions about the graph obtained.

    The graph resembles a parabola, so it is reasonable to assume that area is directly proportional to the square of the radius.

    5 Write the variation statement for the assumption made.
