206Preface to 1992 edition
Books | and 2 of the New General Mathematics
course have been revised to reflect the present
content and philosophy of the mathematics
syllabus of the Zimbabwe Junior Certificate.
Book 2 completes the Junior Certificate course.
In Book 2, new material has been written to
cover the following topics: Congruency
(Chapter 12), Money —_ transactions
(Chapter 17), Ready reckoners (Chapter 23)
and Celculator skills (Chapter 24). New sections
on everyday consumer arithmetic have also
been added. In addition, a full-scale Junior
Certificate level practice examination is now
included as part of the revision exercises and
tests. To ensure that Book 2 keeps to the ZJC
syllabus, topics. such as trigonometry,
jagoras’ theorem, transformation geometry
and matrices now appear in Book 3, Users
hould note that Chapter 24, Calculator skills,
is included partly as a life skill for potential
school leavers and partly as preparation for
those who may go on to take the calculator
option at School Certificate level. Although
calculator skills are not necessary for the Junior
Certificate, many teachers have indicated that,
they would like the topic included in Book 2
for the above reasons.
While revising Book 2, the opportunity was
taken to make corrections and to update stat-
istical information. The authors and publishers
are grateful to the Central Statistical Office,
Harare, for providing valuable data. Further-
more, we are grateful to the many readers who
have made helpful suggestions and who have
provided so much encouragement.

Graphs of number patterns
A graph is a picture. The pictograms, bar
charts and pic charts you drew when working
with Book I were all examples of graphs.
Graphs are usually drawn on graph paper.
‘There are two common kinds of graph paper
as shown in Figs 14 and 1.5 overleaf.Fig. 14 2-man graph paper ~ the smal squares are
2mm by 2mm
Fig. 1.5 Iman graph paper — the small ignuares are
Limon By Emme
The lines on the graph paper are either thick,
medium or thin, These make big, medium and
small squares. On your graph paper, find out
the following:
1 the length of side of the big, medium and
small squares;
2 the number of small squares inside a hig
square:
3 the width, in big squares, of your graph
paper;
4 the length, in big squares, of your graph
per.
In this book suost graphs will be drawn on
2mm by 2mm graph paper.

simple graph of a number pattern,

Every graph should show the following:
I a title;
2 a table giving the data of the graph:
3 labelled axes with suitable scales;
4 lines or points giving a picture of the data.

choosing scales. Further advice on choosing

Hint: one way is to measure the distances of
P, Q and R from the edges of the page.2 Fig. 3.6 shows the same points on a cm
square grid. Starting at the cross, describe
how to get to P, Qand R. Does this make it
easier to describe the positions of the points?
Cartesian plane
The positions of points on a line are found by
using a number line. The positions of points
on a plane surface are found by using to
umber lines, usually at right angles. See
Fig. 3.7.
In Fig. 3,7, starting from the zero point, P is
in position | unit to the right and 4 units up; Q
is in position 3 units to the right and 2 units uy;
R is in position 1 unit to the deft and 2 units
Fig. 3.7
We can shorten this to P(1; 4), Q(3; 2) and
R(— 1; ~2). The position of each point is rep-
resented by a pair of numbers
Fig. 3.7 is a graph, or picture, of the tree
points P. Q and R. In a graph like this, the
number lines are called axes, They cross at the
zero-point of each axis, This point is called the
origin. The axis going across from lefi to right
origin
yaatistnegption)
Fig 3.8is called the xaxis. It has‘ posits. scale to
the right of O and «1 negative scale to the left of
O. The axis going up the page is called the
y-axis, [t has a positive scale upwards from ©
and a negative scale downwards from O.
‘A plane surface with axes drawn on it, such
as Fig. 3.7 and Fig. 3.8 on page 11, is called a
cartesian plane. It is named sfter the French
philosopher and mathematician, Descartes
His work made it possible to represent
geometry in a numerical way
Coordinates
9 shows a cartesian plane with points A,
and D drawn on it
ordered pair of numbers. These are called
the coordinates of the point. The first number
is called the x-coordinate. The x-coordinate
gives the distance of the point along the x-axis
‘The second number is called the y-coordinate
The s-coordinate gives the distance of the point
along the j-axis, The coordinates are separated
by a semicolon.

Plotting points
2 ‘To plot a point means to draw its position on
a cartesian plane.
The easiest way (o plot a point is as follows,1 Start at the origin.
2 Move along the x-axis by an amount and in
a direction given by the x-coordinate of the
point.
3: Move up or down parallel to the y-axis by an
amount and in a direction given by the
_y-coordinate.
Example 2
Plot the points (— 1; 2) and (2.6; ~ 1,8) on a carte-
sian plane.
‘The dotted arrows in Fig. 3.19 show the method
of plouing.

For (2,6; — 1,8):
Start at the origin. The x-coordinate is 2,6.
Move 2,6 units to the right on the x-axis. The
Fcoordinate is ~ 18. Move 1,8 units down
parallel to the y-axis. Plot the point

Writing large numbers
Grouping digits
Read the number 31556926 out aloud, Was it
easy to do? It may have been quite difficult.
You had to decide, ‘Is the number bigger than
a million or not”, “Does it begin 3 million, 31
million or $15 million?’
It is necessary to write large numbers in a
helpful way. It is usual to group the digits of
large numbers in threes from the decimal
comma. A small gap is left between cach group.
31556926 should be written 31556 926.
Now it is easy to see that the number begins
with 31 million.
Exercise 4b
Write the following numbers, grouping digits
in threes from the decimal comma.
11 million 2 59244 3 721568397

Digits and words
Editors of newspapers know that large numbers
sometimes confuse readers. They often use a
mixture of digits and words when writing large
numbers.

(c) 240 000 000 (4) $500 000
(a) $3 000 000 = $3 x 1 000 000
$3 million
(b) 6 800 000 000 = 6,8 x 1 000 000 000
= 68 billion
(c) 240 000 000 = 240 x1 000 000
240 million
or
240 000 000 = 0,24 x 1 000 000 000
= 0,24 billion
(a) $500 000 = $0.5 x 1.000 000

Decimal fractions
Decimal fractions also have names.
8 tenths = 0,8
8 hundredths, = 0,08
8 thousandths 0,008.
8 ten thousandths 0,000 8
8 hundred thousandths 0,000 08
Notice that digits are grouped in threes from
the decimal comma as before.
Example 3
Write the following as decimal fractions.
(a) 28 thousandths (6) za8 800
(e) 350 millionth (d) O00
28 thousandths = 1 thousandth x 28
0,001 x 28
= 0,028
108"ow = 0,008 65
There are 5 zeros in the denominator. The
decimal fraction is obtained by moving
the digits in the numerator 5 places to the
right
380 millionths = 1 millionth x 350
0,000 001 x 350
= 0,000 350 = 0,000 35
In a decimal fraction it is not necessary to
write any zeros afier the last non-zero,
digit.
