Study Notes
Simple Interest
- Simple Interest is calculated using the formula: SI = p × i × n, where SI is the simple interest, p is the principal amount, i is the interest rate, and n is the number of years.
- The total amount owed after simple interest is calculated by adding the simple interest to the original principal amount.
Compound Interest
- Compound interest uses only one formula: A = P(1+i)^n, where A is the accumulated amount, P is the principal amount, i is the interest rate, and n is the number of times interest is allocated.
- In Grade 9, n represents the number of years and interest is calculated per annum.
Hire Purchase
- Hire purchase always uses simple interest.
- A person can buy an item on credit by paying a deposit and the remaining balance over a period of months, which includes interest.
Finding Monthly Instalments
- Calculate the deposit by finding a percentage of the total cost.
- Subtract the deposit from the original price to find the new amount owed.
- Use the compound interest formula to determine the total amount owing after the deposit is paid.
- Divide the total amount owing by the number of months to find the monthly repayment.
Exchange Rates
- Exchange rates are determined by the economy and constantly change.
Integers
- This unit focuses on ordering integers, calculations with integers, and solving problems involving integers.
- This knowledge is used in later topics including algebraic fractions.
Common Fractions
- A common fraction is written with two whole numbers, a numerator on top and a denominator below, separated by a horizontal line.
- The denominator cannot be 0, as it makes the fraction undefined.
- Proper fractions have a numerator smaller than the denominator.
- Improper fractions have a numerator larger than the denominator.
- The Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) is the smallest number divisible by all the denominators of the fractions.
- The reciprocal of a number is its multiplicative inverse.
Algebraic Expressions
- An algebraic expression is a mathematical formula that can include variables, constants, and operations.
- Terms in an algebraic expression are separated by + or - signs.
- A coefficient is a number or symbol multiplied by a variable in a term.
- Inverse operations can be used to solve for variables in equations.
- Encourage learners to check their answers by working through the expression again.
Functions and Relationships
- Functions are used to identify a rule that relates input values to output values.
- Rules can involve one or two operations.
- To find the rule, analyze both the input and output values.
Multiplying Binomials
- FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) is a mnemonic used to remember the four products that need to be found when multiplying binomials.
- Each term in one bracket needs to be multiplied by each term in the other bracket.
Squaring Binomials
- Squaring a binomial means multiplying it by itself.
- FOIL can be used to find all the products.
- Encourage learners to write the binomial out twice and use FOIL instead of taking shortcuts.
