Inequalities are used in collisiondetection algorithms in video
games. Positions of objects on a
screen can be defined by x- and
y-coordinates, and the area in which
a player or an object is allowed to
move can be defined by inequalities.

CHAPTER 1
INEQUALITIES
1.1 Algebraic methods
If you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number you reverse the direction of the
inequality sign.
You need to be more careful if you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a variable or
expression. If the variable or expression could take either a positive or a negative value then you
don’t know which direction is correct for the inequality sign. You can overcome this problem by
multiplying by an expression squared.

graph of y = __

the solution: x , −1 or
0 , x , 1.
O

If you multiply both sides of the
inequality by x you get 1 . x2.
The solution to this inequality
is −1 , x , 1, which is not the
required solution.
–1
O

x
If you multiply both sides of
the inequality by x2 you get
​x . ​x​​ 3​​. The graph of y = x is
above the graph of y = x3 for
x , −1 and 0 , x , 1, which
is the solution to the original
inequality.
In the third example above, you can solve the inequality x . x3 by algebraically rearranging and
factorising.
x3 − x , 0
You can add or subtract any term from both sides of an inequality.
x(x2 − 1) , 0
x(x − 1)(x + 1) , 0
The critical values are x = 0, x = 1 and x = −1. You can consider a sketch of the graph of
y = x(x − 1)(x + 1) to work out which intervals satisfy (i.e. meet the requirements of)
the inequality.
​■ To solve an inequality involving algebraic fractions:
• Step 1: multiply by an expression squared to remove fractions
• Step 2: rearrange the inequality to get 0 on one side
• Step 3: find critical values
• Step 4: use a sketch to identify the correct intervals

(x − 2)(x2 − (x + 1)(x − 2)) , 0
(x − 2)(x2 − x2 + x + 2) , 0
or (x − 2)(x + 2) < 0
Critical values are x = ±2
The sketch of y = (x − 2)(x + 2) is
y
Problem-solving
A natural first step would be to multiply both
sides by (x − 2) but we cannot be sure that this
is positive. A simple solution is to multiply both
sides of the inequality by (x − 2)2 as this will
always be positive.
Do not aim to multiply out but cancel, collect
terms on one side and factorise.
This is a quadratic inequality so you can solve it
in the usual way.
← Pure 1 Section 3.5
y = (x – 2)(x + 2)
Watch out
–2
O
2
x
When a question says 'Use
algebra…' you can still use a sketch to identify
which intervals to include in your solution
set. However, you should make sure you show
algebraic working to find the critical values.
The solution to (x − 2)(x + 2) , 0
is −2 , x , 2.
When the inequality is not strict you have to be
a bit more careful. In the above example, the
left-hand side of the inequality is undefined
when x = 2, so you cannot include x = 2
in your solution set.
Hint
Values for which one side of the inequality
is undefined will usually be explicitly excluded. In
the above example you are given x ≠ 2.
■ When solving an inequality involving ⩽ or ⩾, check whether or not each of your critical values
should be included in the solution set.

Multiply both sides by
(x + 1)2(x + 3)2
So

x(x + 1)(x + 3)2 − 2(x + 1)2(x + 3) < 0
(x + 1)(x + 3)(x(x + 3) − 2(x + 1)) < 0
(x + 1)(x + 3)(x2 + x − 2) < 0
(x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 1) < 0
So the critical values are:
x = −1, −3, −2 or 1
A sketch of y = (x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 1) is
In order to remove the fractions and guarantee
that you are not multiplying by a negative
quantity, use (x + 1)2(x + 3)2.
Cancel terms on each side.
Collect terms on LHS.
Factorise as much as possible.
To find the critical values you need to solve
(x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 1) = 0.
y

O

x
The curve y = (x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 1) is a
quartic graph with positive x4 coefficient, so it
starts in top left and ends in top right and passes
through (−3, 0), (−2, 0), (−1, 0) and (1, 0).
y = (x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x – 1)
The solution to
(x + 1)(x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 1) < 0 corresponds
to the sections of this graph that are on or
below the x-axis.
So the solution is
{x : −3 , x < −2} ∪ {x : −1 , x < 1}
Exercise
The inequality is non-strict so you need to check
whether the critical values should be included in
the solution. The conditions x ≠ −1 and x ≠ −3 are
given in the question, so use strict inequalities to
exclude these values.

You probably won’t be able to sketch the
graph in this question. Find the critical values,
then test values within each interval to determine
the solution set.
1.2 Using graphs to solve inequalities
■ If you can sketch the graphs of y = f(x)
and y = g(x) then you can solve an
inequality such as f(x) , g(x) by observing
when one curve is above the other.
The critical values will be the solutions to
the equation f(x) = g(x).
Example
Watch out
If you are asked to solve an
inequality algebraically you should not start by
sketching graphs.

To sketch unfamiliar curves, look for:
● points where the curve meets or crosses
the axes
● vertical asymptotes (where the
denominators of fractions equal 0)
● behaviour on either side of vertical
asymptotes
● behaviour as x gets very large or very
small.
You can find horizontal asymptotes by
rearranging the fraction to see how it
behaves as x → ∞.

1.3 Modulus inequalities
You need to be able to solve inequalities that include modulus signs. It is often useful to sketch the
relevant modulus graph when solving inequalities like this.
Example

Solve ∣ x2 − 4x∣ , 3
Sketch y = | x2 − 4x| and y = 3:
y
y = |x2 – 4x|
3
Sketch y = ∣ x2 − 4x∣ and y = 3 on the same set of
axes. To sketch y = ∣ x2 − 4x∣ consider the graph of
y = x2 − 4x, and reflect any sections of the graph
that are below the x-axis in the x-axis.
← Pure 3 Section 2.1
y= 3
Watch out
O

x
To find the critical values, solve |x2 − 4x| = 3
x2 − 4x = 3 ⇒ x2 − 4x − 3 = 0
(x – 2)2 – 4 – 3 = 0
(x – 2)2 = 7 __
x = 2 ± ​​√7 ​​
−(x2 − 4x) = 3 ⇒ x2 − 4x + 3 = 0
(x − 3)(x − 1) = 0
x = 1 or 3
M01_IAL_FP2_44655_U01_001-013.indd 8
Solve ∣ x2 − 4x∣ = 3 to find the
critical values. You need to consider the two
separate cases: when the argument of ∣ x2 − 4x∣
is positive and when it is negative. Use your
sketch to determine whether these critical values
all correspond to points of intersection.
Complete the square or use the quadratic formula.
The line y = 3 intersects the graph of y = ∣x2 − 4x∣
at four places, so all of these values of x correspond
to points of intersection. Look at example 6 for a
situation where this is not the case.

Sketching y = |3x| and y = 2 − x gives
y

Sketching y = ∣3x∣ + x is quite difficult so it is
usually simpler to rearrange and isolate the
modulus function.

Summary of key points
1 To solve an inequality involving algebraic fractions:
• Step 1: multiply by an expression squared to remove fractions
• Step 2: rearrange the inequality to get 0 on one side
• Step 3: find critical values
• Step 4: use a sketch to identify the correct intervals.
2 When solving an inequality involving < or >, check whether or not each of your critical values
should be included in the solution set.
3 If you can sketch the graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) then you can solve an inequality such
as f(x) , g(x) by observing when one curve is above the other. The critical values will be the
solutions to the equation f(x) = g(x).
4 When solving inequalities that include modulus signs, it is often useful to sketch a graph.

2.1 The method of differences
You can use the method of differences to find the sum of a finite series.
■ If the general term, ur, of a series can be expressed in the form
f(r) − f(r + 1)
n
n
r=1
r=1
then ​​∑​  ​​​ ur = ​​∑​  ​​(f(
​ r) − f(r + 1))
u1 = f(1) − f(2)
u2 = f(2) − f(3)
u3 = f(3) − f(4)
⋮
un = f(n) − f(n + 1)
so
n
​​ r = f(1) − f(n + 1)
Then adding ​​∑​  ​u
r=1
Example
You can also start with ur written in the form
f(r + 1) − f(r). After adding and cancelling,
n
you get ​​∑
​  u​​
​  r = f(n + 1) − f(1)
r=1
​u​ 1​​ + ​u​ 2​​ = f(1) − f(2) + f(2) − f(3)
= f(1) − f(3)
The f(2) terms cancel.
By summing u​ ​ 1​​ + ​u​ 2​​ + … + ​un​  ​​all terms cancel except
the very first term, f(1), and the very last term, f(n + 1).

All the terms cancel except the first and last.
Watch out
When using the method of
differences, be sure to write out enough terms
to make it clear which terms cancel. When you
cancel terms, make sure that they can still be
clearly read. You could cross them out in pencil.
The same result could be proved by mathematical
induction.

3.1 Exponential form of complex numbers
You can use the modulus−argument form of a
complex number to express it in the exponential
form: z = reiθ.
Links
The modulus−argument form of
a complex number is z = r(cos θ + i sin θ),
where r = |z| and θ = arg z.
You can write cos θ and sin θ as infinite series of powers
of θ:
θ 2 θ 4 __
θ6
(−1)r θ 2r

sin θ = θ − __
3! 5! 7!
(2r + 1)!
You can also write ex, x ∈ ℝ, as a series expansion in
powers of x.

These are the Maclaurin series
expansions of sin θ, cos θ and ex .

By comparing this series expansion with (1) and (2), you can write eiθ as
eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ
This formula is known as Euler’s relation.
It is important for you to remember this result.
■ You can use Euler’s relation, eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ,
to write a complex number z in exponential

3.2 Multiplying and dividing complex numbers

numbers written in exponential form.
Recall that, for any two complex numbers ​​z​  1​​​ and ​​z​  2​​​,
z z = |​ ​z​ 1​​|​​|​z​ 2​​|​​
●​arg ​(​z​  1​​ ​z​  2​​)​ = arg ​(​z​  1​​)​ + arg ​(​z​  2​​)​​
​z​ 1​​ ​|​z​ 1​​|​

​  ​z​   ​​​ ​ = ___
​   ​​
​|​z​ 2​​|​

z​ ​ 1​​

●​​|​ ​  1​​ ​ ​  2​​|​
| |
Links
These results can be proved by
considering the numbers ​​z​  1​​​ and ​​z​  2​​​ in the form
r(cos θ + i sin θ) and using the addition formulae
for cos and sin. ← Further Pure 1 Section 1.6
Applying these results to numbers in exponential form gives the following result:
■ If z1 = r1​​e​​  i​θ1​  ​​​​ and z2 = r2​​e​​  i​θ2​  ​​​​, then:

3.3 De Moivre’s theorem
You can use Euler’s relation to find powers of complex numbers given in modulus−argument form.
(​​ r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​ 2​ = (​​ r​e​​  iθ​)​​​  2​
= r​e​​  iθ​ × r​e​​  iθ​
= ​r​​  2​ ​e​​  i2θ​
= ​r​​  2(​​ cos 2θ + i sin 2θ)​
Similarly, (​​ r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​  3​ = ​r​​  3​​(cos 3θ + i sin 3θ)​, and so on.
The generalisation of this result is known as de Moivre’s theorem:
■ For any integer n,
n
​​(r​(cos θ + i sin θ)​)​​​  n​= r​ ​​  ​(cos nθ + i sin nθ)​
You can prove de Moivre’s theorem quickly using Euler’s relation.
(​​ r​(cos θ + i sin θ))​​​​  n​= (​​ r​e​​  iθ)​​​​  n​
= ​r​​  n​ ​e​​  inθ​
= ​r​​  n​​(cos nθ + i sin nθ)​
You can also prove de Moivre’s theorem for positive
integer exponents directly from the modulus−
argument form of a complex number using the addition
formulae for sin and cos. This step is valid for any integer
exponent n. ← Exercise 3B Challenge
Links
This proof uses the method
of proof by induction.
← Further Pure 1 Section 8.1
1. Basis step
n = 1; LHS = (r(cos θ + i sin θ))1 = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
RHS = r1(cos 1θ + i sin 1θ) = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
As LHS = RHS, de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = 1.
2. Assumption step
Assume that de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = k, k ∈ ℤ
​ +​ ​:
(r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k​ ​ = ​rk​ ​(cos kθ + i sin kθ)

CHAPTER 3
COMPLEX NUMBERS
3. Inductive step
When n = k + 1,
(r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k ​ + 1​ = (r(cos θ + i sin θ)​)k​ ​ × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
= r k(cos kθ + i sin kθ) × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
By assumption step
= r k + 1(cos kθ + i sin kθ)(cos θ + i sin θ)
= r k + 1((cos kθ cos θ − sin kθ sin θ) + i (sin kθ cos θ + cos kθ sin θ))
= r k + 1(cos(kθ + θ) + i sin(kθ + θ))
By addition formulae
= r k + 1(cos((k + 1)θ) + i sin((k + 1)θ))
Therefore, de Moivre’s theorem is true when n = k + 1.
4. Conclusion step
Links
The corresponding proof
for negative integer exponents is
left as an exercise.
If de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = k, then it has been
shown to be true for n = k + 1.
As de Moivre’s theorem is true for n = 1, it is now proven to
be true for all n ∈ ℤ+ by mathematical induction.

Equating the real parts gives

= cos6 θ − 15 cos4 θ(1 − cos2 θ)

− 1 + 3 cos2 θ − 3 cos4 θ + cos6 θ

Apply the binomial expansion to

3.5 nth roots of a complex number
You can use de Moivre’s theorem to solve an equation of the form zn = w, where z, w ​∈ ℂ​.
This is equivalent to finding the nth roots of w.
__
__
Just as a real number, x, has two square roots, √​​ x ​​ and −​​√ x ​​, any complex number has n distinct nth roots.
■ If z and w are non-zero complex numbers and n is a positive integer, then the equation zn = w has
n distinct solutions.
You can find the solutions to zn = w using
de Moivre’s theorem, and by considering the fact
that the argument of a complex number is not unique.
Notation
cos (​θ​ + 2k​π​) = cos ​θ​ and
sin (​θ​ + 2k​π​) = sin ​θ​for integer values of k.
■ For any complex number z = r(cos ​θ​ + i sin ​θ​), you can write z = r(cos (​θ​ + 2k​π​) + i sin (​θ​ + 2k​π​)),
where k is any integer.
Example 13
a Solve the equation z3 = 1
b Represent your solutions to part a on an Argand diagram.

r3(cos 3​θ​ + i sin 3​θ​) =
cos (0 + 2k​π​) + i sin (0 + 2k​π​), k ​∈ ℤ​
So r = 1

Start by writing 1 in modulus−argument form.
Write z in modulus−argument form, and write the
general form of the argument on the right-hand
side by adding integer multiples of 2​π​.
Apply de Moivre’s theorem to the left-hand side
of the equation.
Compare the modulus on both sides to get r = 1.
Compare the arguments on both sides.
Problem-solving
Choose values of k to find the three distinct
roots. By choosing values on either side of
k = 0 you can find three different arguments in

P on the circumference of the circle. Hence BP = kAP for some constant k, and the locus of points
which satisfies this relationship is a circle.

If you replaced the coordinate axes above with an Argand diagram,

Online
Explore the locus of z when
|z − a| = k|z − b| using GeoGebra.
a |z − 6| = 2|z + 6 − 9i|
⇒ |x + iy – 6| = 2|x + iy + 6 − 9i|
⇒ |(x − 6) + iy| = 2|(x + 6) + i(y − 9)|
⇒ |(x − 6) + iy|2 = 22|(x + 6) + i(y − 9)|2
⇒ (x − 6)2 + y2 = 4((x + 6)2 + (y − 9)2)
⇒ x2 − 12x + 36 + y2 = 4(x2 + 12x + 36 + y2 − 18y + 81)
⇒ x2 − 12x + 36 + y2 = 4x2 + 48x + 144 + 4y2 − 72y + 324
⇒ 3x2 + 60x + 3y2 − 72y + 432 = 0
⇒ x2 + 20x + y2 − 24y + 144 = 0
⇒ (x + 10)2 − 100 + (y − 12)2 − 144 + 144 = 0
⇒ (x + 10)2 + (y − 12)2 = 100
So the locus of z is a circle with centre (−10, 12) and radius 10.

|z − 6| represents the distance from the point A(6, 0) to P.
|z + 6 − 9i| = |z − (−6 + 9i)| represents the distance from the point B(−6, 9) to P.
|z − 6| = 2|z + 6 − 9i| gives AP = 2BP. This means that P is the locus of points such that the distance AP is
twice the distance BP.
One of the points will always be inside the circle and the other will always be outside the circle.
Another previous result for loci in an Argand diagram makes use of the geometric property of the
argument of a complex number.

From knowing the locus for an equation of the form arg(z − z1) = θ, you can conclude that ​arg(z − a) = α​

As P moves, ​∠APB​is always equal to the constant θ. By the converse of the first circle property on

4.5 Transformations of the complex plane
You need to be able to transform simple loci, such as lines and
circles, from one complex plane (the z-plane) to another complex
plane (the w-plane). Transformations will map points in the
z-plane to points in the w-plane by applying a formula relating
​z = x + iy​to ​w = u + iv​.
Notation
The convention is
to use u for the real part and
v for the imaginary part of a
complex number in the w-plane.
It is helpful to be able to recognise the type of transformation – translation, enlargement or
rotation – from the formula for some simple transformations.
Example 12
The point P represents the complex number z on an Argand diagram, where |z| = 2. T1, T2 and
T3 represent transformations from the z-plane, where z = x + iy, to the w-plane where w = u + iv.
Describe the locus of the image of P under the transformations:
1
b T2: w = 3z
c T3: w = _​​  2 ​​z + i
a T1: w = z − 2 + 4i
The locus of P in the z-plane is a circle with
centre (0, 0) and radius 2.
This is the locus of P in the z-plane before any
transformations have been applied.

a |z| = 4
w = z2 ⇒ |w| = |z2|

​​u​​  2​ + ​v​​  2​ = ​16​​  2​ = 256​

Summary of key points
1 You can represent complex numbers on an Argand diagram. The x-axis on an Argand
diagram is called the real axis and the y-axis is called the imaginary axis. The complex
number z = x + iy is represented on the diagram by the point P(x, y), where x and y are
Cartesian coordinates.
x
2 The complex number z = x + iy can be represented as the vector (​​ ​y ​)​  ​on an Argand diagram.
3 For two complex numbers z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2, |z2 − z1| represents the distance
between the points z1 and z2 on an Argand diagram.
4 Given z1 = x1 + iy1, the locus of points z on an Argand diagram such that |z − z1| = r, or
|z − (x1 + iy1)| = r, is a circle with centre (x1, y1) and radius r.

When you have integrated and found the general solution, you can let the arbitrary constant take
different numerical values, thus generating particular solutions. You can then sketch a graph for each
of these solutions. The curves that are sketched are called a family of solution curves.
In some questions you will be given a boundary condition, such as y = 1 when x = 0.
You can use this to find the arbitrary constant. Different boundary conditions will give rise to different
particular solutions. The graph of each solution belongs to the family of solution curves.

The general solution to this secondorder differential equation needs two arbitrary
constants. If you wanted to find a particular
solution you would need to know two boundary
conditions.
In this section you will look at techniques for solving linear differential equations that are of the form
​d​​  2​y
dy
​a ​ ____2 ​ + b ​ ___ ​ + cy = 0​
dx
d​x​​  ​

where a, b and c are real constants. Equations

​ay″ + by′ + cy = 0​where ​y″ = ____

d
​ ​​  2​y
differential equation ​a ​ ____2 ​ + b ​ ___ ​ + cy = 0​. But it cannot be the general solution, as it only contains
dx
d​x​​  ​
one arbitrary constant. Since two constants are necessary for a second-order differential equation,
you can try a solution of the form ​y = A​e​​  λx​ + B​e​​  μx​​, where A and B are arbitrary constants and λ and μ
are constants to be determined.
dy
​ ___ ​ = Aλ​e​​  λx​ + Bμ​e​​  μx​
dx
​____
d​​  2​y
​  2 ​ = A​λ​​  2​​e​​  λx​ + Bμ2​e​​  μx​
d​x​​  ​
Substituting these into the differential equation gives
a(Aλ2eλx + Bμ2eμx) + b(Aλeλx + Bμeμx) + c(Aeλx + Beμx) = 0
aA​λ​​  2​ ​e​​  λx​ + aB​μ​​  2​​e​​  μx​ + bAλ ​e​​  λx​ + bBμ​e​​  μx​ + cA​e​​  λx​ + cB​e​​  μx​ = 0
A​e​​  λx​​(a​λ​​  2​ + bλ + c)​ + B​e​​  μx​(aμ2 + bμ + c) = 0
This shows that the equation ​y = A​e​​  λx​ + B​e​​  μx​​will satisfy the original differential equation if both
λ and μ are solutions to the quadratic equation ​a​m​​  2​ + bm + c = 0​.
The equation ​a​m​​  2​ + bm + c = 0​is called the auxiliary equation.

You need to consider three different cases:

•• Case 3: ​​b​​  2​< 4ac​
Links Case 3 is equivalent to y = Aeαx + Beβx
The auxiliary equation has two complex

conjugate roots α and β equal to ​p ± q i​.
The general solution will be of the form
​y = ​e​​  px​ (A cos qx + B sin qx)​ where A and B

​y = A cos qx + B sin qx​

You need to be careful if the standard form of the particular integral contains terms which form part
of the complementary function. If this is the case, you need to modify your particular integral so that
no two terms in the general solution have the same form.
For example, this situation occurs when f(x) is of the form pekx, and k is one of the roots of the
auxiliary equation. In this case you can try a particular integral of the form,​λ​xekx.

As in Example 8, the complementary function is

The particular integral cannot be λe2x,

So let y = λxe2x

d y
____
The function λe2x is part of the

​​  2 ​​ − 5​​ ___ ​​ + 6y = e2x:
dx
dx
4λxe2x + 4λe2x − 5(2λxe2x + λe2x) + 6λxe2x = e2x
⇒ −λe2x = e2x
⇒ λ = −1
So a particular integral is −xe2x.
The general solution is y = Ae3x + Be2x − xe2x.
​​ 
Watch out
Let the P.I. be λxe2x and differentiate,
substitute and solve to find λ.
The general solution is y = C.F. + P.I.
When one of the roots of the auxiliary equation is 0, the complementary function will contain a
constant term. If f(x) is a polynomial, you will need to multiply its particular integral by x to make
sure the P.I. does not also contain a constant term.

Try to find a particular integral. The righthand side of the original equation was 3,

So a particular integral is −sin 2t.
The general solution is
x = A cos t + B sin t − sin 2t
Since x = 0 at t = 0, A = 0.
Differentiating x = B sin t − sin 2t with
respect to t gives
dx
___
​​   ​​ = B cos t − 2 cos 2t
dt
dx
Since ​​ ___ ​​ = 1 at t = 0, 1 = B − 2
dt
⇒ B=3
CHAPTER 6

Use general solution = complementary function +
particular integral.
Substitute the initial condition, x = 0 at t = 0, into
the general solution to obtain A = 0.
dx
Substitute the second initial condition, ___
​​   ​​ = 1 at
dt
t = 0, into the derivative of the general solution,
to obtain a second equation leading to B = 3.
And so x = 3 sin t − sin 2t is the required
solution.

7.3 Series expansions of compound functions
You can find the series expansions of compound functions using known Maclaurin series. In the last
exercise you found the Maclaurin series of simple compound functions, such as e​​ 
​​ 3x​​ and ​ln ​(1 + 2x)​​.
However, the resulting series could also be found by replacing ​x​ by ​3x​or ​x​ by ​2x​in the known
expansions of ​​e​​  x​​ and ​ln ​(1 + x)​​respectively. When successive derivatives of a compound function
are more difficult, or when there are products of functions involved, it is often possible to use one
of the standard results.

7.4 Taylor series
Earlier in this chapter you used Maclaurin series
expansions to write a function of x as an infinite
series in ascending powers of x. However, the
conditions of the Maclaurin series expansion
mean that some functions, such as ln x, cannot
be expanded in this way.
Links
The Maclaurin series expansion requires
that f(n)(0) exists and is finite for all n P ℕ.
1
If f(x) = ln x then f9(x) = ​​ __
x ​​ so f9(0) is undefined.
← Further Pure 2 Section 7.2
The construction of the Maclaurin series expansion focuses on x = 0 and, for a value of x very close
to 0, a few terms of the series may well give a good approximation of the function.
For values of x further away from 0, even if they
are in the interval of validity, more and more
terms of the series are required to give a good
degree of accuracy.
Notation
An extreme example of this is in
using x = 1 in the series for ln(1 + x) to find ln 2;
thousands of terms of the series are required to
reach 4 significant figure accuracy.
To overcome these problems, a series expansion focusing on x = a can be derived.
This series expansion, called a Taylor series, is a more general form of the Maclaurin series.
Consider the functions f and g, where f(x + a) ; g(x).
Then f(r)(x + a) = g(r)(x), r = 1, 2, 3, … , a ≠ 0
Notation
For example,
f(x) = ln x, g(x) = ln(x + 1)
In particular, f(r)(a) = g(r)(0), r = 1, 2, 3, …

The expansions (A) and (B) given above are known as Taylor series expansions of f(x) at
(or about) the point x = a.

values of x for which the infinite series converges.

POLAR COORDINATES
8.1 Polar coordinates and equations
Polar coordinates are an alternative way of describing the position of a point P in two-dimensional
space. You need two measurements: firstly, the distance the point is from the pole (usually the origin O ),
r, and secondly, the angle measured anticlockwise from the initial line (usually the positive x-axis), θ.
Polar coordinates are written as (r, θ).
Notation When working in polar coordinates

the axes might also be labelled like this:
θ=
x
P(x, y) or (r, θ)
r

Initial line
The coordinates of P can be written in either Cartesian form as (x, y) or in polar form as (r, θ).
You can convert between Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates using right-angled triangle
trigonometry.
From the diagram above you can see that:
■ r cos θ = x
r sin θ = y
Watch out
■ r 2 = x2 + y2
Always draw a sketch diagram
to check in which quadrant the point lies, and
always measure the polar angle from the positive
x-axis.

r = 1 + 2θ

c r 2 = sin 2θ, 0 , θ < __
​​   ​​
2
a r=5
You need to replace r with an equation in x and y.
Use r 2 = x2 + y2. So the equation r = 5 represents
a circle with centre O and radius 5.
Square both sides to get r 2 = 25
So a Cartesian equation is x2 + y2 = 25
b r = 2 + cos 2θ
You need an equation in x and y, so use x = r cos θ.
This means first writing cos 2θ in terms of cos θ.
r = 1 + (1 + cos 2θ)
r = 1 + 2 cos2 θ
Now use x = r cos θ and r 2 = x2 + y2
Multiply by r2:
r3 = r2 + 2r2 cos2 θ

Multiply by r2:
You need to use the substitutions x = r cos θ
and y = r sin θ. Use sin 2θ ≡ 2 sin θ cos θ and then
multiply by r2.
r4 = 2 × r sin θ × r cos θ
(x2 + y2)2 = 2xy

sin2 θ
So a polar equation is r = 4 cot θ cosec θ

c y​​√3 ​​ = x + 4
Substitute x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ
Divide by r and simplify.
b x2 − y2 = 5
r2 cos2 θ − r2 sin2 θ = 5
Substitute x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ
r2 cos 2θ = 5
Use cos 2θ ≡ cos2 θ − sin2 θ
r2 (cos2 θ − sin2 θ) = 5
So a polar equation is r2 = 5 sec 2θ

Curves with equations of the form r = a(p + q cos θ) are defined for all values of θ if p > q. An
example of this, when p = q, was the cardioid seen in Example 6a. These curves fall into two types,
those that are ‘egg’ shaped (i.e. a convex curve) and those with a ‘dimple’ (i.e. the curve is concave at θ
= π). The conditions for each type are given below:

You can prove
these conditions by

Start by sketching the curve. You can simplify
your calculation by using the fact that the curve
is symmetric about the initial line. Hence you can
integrate from 0 to π and then double your answer.

Find an expression for x and differentiate.
Solve the equation and consider all possible cases.
The two tangents at the two points represented
by these solutions have the same equation.
If p = 2q then the solution is θ = π and so
there are only two tangents (the blue ones).
In this case the curve is convex.
If p . 2q then there is no solution to this
equation and only the two blue tangents are

Hence the curve is convex for p > 2q, and

separating the variables a method used to solve
certain types of differential equations
sequence a series of numbers following a set rule. 4, 9,
14, 19, ... is an example of an arithmetic sequence
series the sum of terms in a sequence
series expansions a method for calculating a function
that cannot be expressed more easily
series solution a solution to certain types of
differential equations
subtended an angle subtended by an arc, line
segment, or any other section of a curve is one whose
two rays pass through the endpoints of the arc
successive coming or following on after the other
sum the addition of two or more numbers. For example,
2 + 3 = 5, so 5 is the sum of 2 and 3
surd a number that cannot_be simplified to remove a
square root. For example, √​​ 2 ​​_is a surd because it is an
irrational number, whereas √​​ 4 ​​= ±2 which is a rational
number and not a surd
symmetrical when a shape looks the same following a
transformation such as reflection or rotation
tangent (i) a trigonometric function that is equal to
the ratio of the side opposite an acute angle (in a rightangled triangle) to the adjacent side
(ii) a line that touches a curve at a point without crossing
over and matches the gradient of the curve at that point
Taylor series an expansion series of a function, where
the approximate value of the function is determined as
a sum of the derivatives of that function
transform to map linearly
transformation a linear mapping that is either a
reflection, rotation or stretch
translation a function that moves an object a certain
distance
nth root of unity the solutions to zn = 1
valid true
variable a quantity that is able to be changed, i.e. not
constant
vector an object that has both a magnitude and a
direction. Geometrically, a vector is a directed line
segment, whose length is the magnitude of the vector
and with an arrow indicating the direction

a n = 1; LHS = ​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  1​ = r​e​​  iθ​
RHS = ​r​​  1e
​​ ​​  iθ​ = r​e​​  iθ​
As LHS = RHS, the equation holds for n = 1.
Assume the equation holds for n = k, k ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​.
i.e. ​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k​= ​r​​  ke
​​ ​​  ikθ​
With n = k + 1, the equation becomes
​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k+1​ = ​(r​e​​  iθ​)​​  k​ × r​e​​  iθ​= ​r​​  ke
​​ ​​  ikθ​ × r​e​​  iθ​= ​r​​  k+1e
​​ ​​  i(kθ+θ)​= ​r​​  k+1e
​​ ​​  i(k+1)θ​
Therefore, the equation holds when n = k + 1.
If the equation holds for n = k, then it has been shown
to be true for n = k + 1.
As the equation holds for n = 1, it is now also true for
all n ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​by mathematical induction.

for all n ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​by mathematical induction.

2 n = 1; LHS = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
RHS = ​r​​  1​(cos θ + i sin θ) = r(cos θ + i sin θ)
As LHS = RHS, the equation holds for n = 1.
Assume the equation holds for n = k, k ∈ ​ℤ​​  +​.
i.e. ​z​​  k​ = ​r​​  k​ (cos kθ + i sin kθ)
With n = k + 1, the equation becomes:
​z​​  k+1​ = ​z​​  k​ × z
= rk(cos kθ + i sin kθ) × r(cos θ + i sin θ)
= rk+1​(​(cos kθ cos θ − sin kθ sin θ) +
i(sin kθ cos θ + cos kθ sin θ))​​
= rk+1(cos(k + 1) θ + i sin (k + 1) θ)
by the addition formulae.
Therefore, the equation holds when n = k + 1.

Equating real parts:

Equating imaginary parts:
