Further algebra
Why itis important to understand: Further algebra
‘The study of algebra revolves around using and manipulating polynomials. Polynomials are used in
engineering, computer programming, software engineering, in management, and in business. Mathemat
cians, statisticians and engineers of all sciences employ the use of polynomials to solve problems; among
them are aerospace engineers, chemical engineers, civil engineers, electrical engineers, environmental
engineers, industrial engineers, materials engineers, mechanical engineers and nuclear engineers. The
factor and remainder theorems are also employed in engineering software and electronic mathematical
applications, through which polynomials of higher degrees and longer arithmetic structures are divided
without any complexity. The study of polynomial division and the factor and remainder theorems is
therefore of some importance in engineering,

‘Also, when [x? 4 34 ~2) is divided by (x

It is not panicularly useful, on its owe, 19 know the

remainder should be zero then (x — p) isa factor. This

‘The remainder theorem may also be stated fora eubie

Asbefore, the remainder may be obtained by substitut=

For example, when (3r3+2x? — x +4) is divided by

Solving quadratic equations
Why itis important to understand: Solving quadratic equations
Quadratic equations have many applications in engincering and science; they are used in deseribing
the trajectory of a ball, determining the height of a throw, and in the concept of acceleration, velocity,
ballistics and stopping power. In addition, the quadratic equation has been found to be widely evident
in a number of natural processes; some of these include the processes by which light is reflected off a
Jens, water flows down a rocky stream, or even the manner in which fur, spots, or stripes develop on wild
animals. When traffic policemen arrive at the scene of a road accident, they measure the length of the
skid marks and assess the road conditions. They can then use a quadratic equation to calculate the speed
of the vehicles and hence reconstruct exactly what happened. The U-shape of a parabola can describe
the trajectories of water jets in a fountain and a bouncing ball, or be incorporated into structures like
the parabolic reflectors that form the base of satellite dishes and car headligh!s. Quadratic functions
can help plot the course of moving objects and assist in determining minimum and maximum values.
Most of the objects we use every day, from cars to clocks, would not exist if someone somewhere hadn't
applied quadratic functions to their design. Solving quadratic equationsis an important skill required in
all aspects of engineering.
A quadratic equation Is one In which the highest

Number sequences
Why itis important to understand: Number sequences
Number sequences are widely used in engineering applications including computer data structure and
sorting algorithms, financial engineering, audio compression, and architectural engineering. Thanks to
engineers, robots have migrated from factory shop floors - as industrial manipulators, to outer space ~ as
interplanetary explorers, to hospitals - as minimally invasive surgical assistants, to homes - as vacuum,
cleaners and lawn mowers, and to battlefields - as unmanned air, underwater, and ground vehicles.
Arithmetic progressions are used in simulation engineering and in the reproductive eycle of bacteria,
Some uses of AP's in daily life include wniform increase in the speed at regular intervals, completing
patterns of objects, calculating simple interest, speed of an aircraft, increase or decrease in the costs of
g00ds, sales and production, and so on. Geometric progressions (GP"s) are used in compoun
and the range of speeds on a drilling machine. In fact, GP"s are used throughout mathe:
they have many important applications in physics, engineering, biology, economics, computer science,
queuing theory, and finance. In this chapter, AP"s, GP's, combinations and permutations are introduced
and explained.

‘There aremany, many different types of equationsused in every branch of engineeringand scfence. There

important that we ean solve any equation; iterative methods, such as the Newton-Raphson method, help

Why itis important to understand: Cartesian and polar co-ordinates
Applications where polar co-ordinates would be used include terrestrial navigation with sonue-like
devices, and those in engineering and science involving energy radiation patterns. Applications where
Cartesian co-ordinates would be used include any navigation on a grid and anything involving raster
graphics (e. bitmap — a dot matrix data structure representing a generally rectangular grid of pixels).
The ability to change from Cartesian to polar co-ordinates is vitally important when using complex
numbers and their use in ac. electrical circuit theory and with vector geometry.‘There are two ways in which the position of a point in
a plane can be represented. These are
(a) by Cartesian co-ordinates, (named after
Descartes"), ie. (x. y).and
(h)_ by polar co-ordinates, ie. (r, 0), where ris a

Trigonometric identities

Why itis important to understand: Trigonometric idemities and equations
In engineering, trigonometric identities oceur often, examples being in the more advanced areas of ealeu=
lus to generate derivatives and integrals, with tensorv/rectors, and with differential equations and partial
differential equations. One of the skills required for more advanced work in mathematics, especially
calculus;is the ability to use identities to write expressionsin alternative forms. In software engineering,
‘working, say,on the next big blockbuster film, trigonometric identities are needed for computer graphics;
an RF engineer working on the next-generation mobile phone will also need trigonometric identities. In
addition, identities are needed in electrical engineering when dealing with a.e. power, and wave addi-
tion/subteaction and the solutions of trigonometric equations often require knowledge of trigonometric

1.65"
Since —15.71° is the same as —15.71°-+360%, ie,
‘344.205, then the solutions are @ = 77.68" or 34429,
which may be checked by substituting into the original
equation,
Problem 10. Solve the equation

Hence a:
Thus 35 cosA—S.8 sin A
=6.774 sin( A+ 148.88°)= 6.5,
48.88"
Hence, sin(A + 148.88"
from which, (A + 148.88"

73.65" oF 106.35°
Thus, A 15.23"
(-75.23° +360") = 284.77
or 106.35°— 148.88° = —42.53°
(-42.53° +360") = 317.47°
The solutions are thus A=284.77° or 317.47", which
may be checked in the original equation,
