Support material on sets, functions and calculus for IGCSE Mathematics (4400)

Introduction

Most of the IGCSE mathematics specification is covered in standard GCSE mathematics textbooks. Examples of such textbooks are given on page 32 of the specification.

The style of examination questions will be similar to that of the UK GCSE. However, there are some differences in content between IGCSE mathematics and GCSE mathematics. Firstly there are some additional topics, about which notes and specimen questions are given below. Secondly, a few topics are omitted from IGCSE. These are listed on page 22.

Additional Topics

There are three major topics that are not included in the UK GCSE but which do feature in IGCSE. These are • set language and notation (paragraph number 1.5 of the specification) • function notation (paragraph number 3.2 of the specification) • calculus (paragraph number 3.4 of the specification).

One other smaller topic – intersecting chord properties (paragraph 4.6 of the specification) – is also included in IGCSE.

The following notes and specimen questions on the three major topics provide supplementary information as to how these parts of the specification will be assessed.

Centres should note that these examples are not exhaustive, but are intended to give some indication of the level of difficulty and the types of question which may be expected.

Notes on Set Language and Notation
(paragraph 1.5 of the specification)

1. Foundation and Higher tiers

Definition: In words, e.g. {Cats}, {Positive integers less than 10}, {Multiples of 3}, or as a list of members e.g. {2, 4, 6, 8}, {chairs, tables}.

Typical Questions: • Given the definition of a set, list all the elements (or members). • Given a list of all the elements of a set, write the definition.

Symbols: ℰ, Ø, Є, U, ∩

Typical Questions: • Given defined sets ℰ, A & B, ▪ describe A ∩ B, ▪ list the members of A U B, ▪ what is meant by “6 Є A”? ▪ is it true that A ∩ B = Ø? Explain your answer.

2. Higher tier only

Definition: Algebraic, e.g. {ℰ = Integers}, P = {x: 0 < x < 10}

Venn diagrams: Different cases, e.g.

Symbols: A/ (the complement of A), ⊂ (“is a subset of”)

Typical Questions: • Given defined sets ℰ, A, B, and C, ▪ draw a Venn diagram ▪ shade A U B ∩ C /, ▪ list the members of B/ ∩ C, ▪ is it true that A ⊂ B?

• Describe a given shaded region in a Venn diagram. • Draw a Venn diagram in which certain conditions are true.

Symbols: n(A) (the number of members in A),

Typical Questions: • Given a Venn diagram (e.g. Black animals, Cats, Dogs), with numbers inserted, ▪ how many black cats are there? • Given two or three defined sets, find n(A U B/) • Given n(ℰ) = 23, n(A) = 16, n(B) = 10, n(A U B) = 20, ▪ draw a Venn diagram ▪ show the number of members in each region. • Questions involving three sets, where an equation needs to be set up. See Question 16 below.

Notes on Function Notation (paragraph 3.2 of the specification)

Notation and definitions: f(x) = x2 f: x → x2

Domain is all values of x to which the function is applied.
Range is all values of f(x). Domain and/or range may be given in words, or as a list, or algebraically e.g. 0 < x < 10 If the domain is not given, it is assumed to be {x: x is any number}.

Which functions? Usually e.g. linear, quadratic, cubic, [pic], 1/linear. Sometimes harder functions e.g. \/linear, 1/\/linear, linear/linear, \/quadratic, 1/quadratic, a + b/x, ax + b/x, trig

Note: “[pic]” indicates the positive value of the square root.

Typical Questions: • Given a function and its domain, find the range. • Given a function applied to all numbers, find the range. • Given a function, which values cannot be included in the domain? • Given f(x), find f(-2). • Given f(x) = 3, find the value(s) of x (not necessarily involving the notation f -1).

Composite functions:

fg(x) means f(g(x)), i.e. do g first followed by f.

Typical Questions: • Given functions f and g, find fg(-3), gf(2) • Given functions f and g, find fg in the form fg[pic] or fg[pic] • Given functions f and g, and the domain of f, find the range of gf. • Given functions f and g, which values need to be excluded from the domain of gf?

Inverse functions:

Functions required: Usually e.g. linear, 1/linear,[pic] or x2 (with domain restricted to positive numbers). Sometimes harder functions, e.g. \/linear, 1/\/linear, linear/linear, a + b/x, [pic].

Any method for finding f -1 is acceptable, e.g. Algebraic: write as y = . . . ; rearrange to make x the subject; interchange x and y. Flowchart: reverse each operation, in reverse order.

Typical Questions: • Given the function f, find f -1(3). • Given the function f, find f -1 in the form f -1: [pic] or f -1[pic] • Without working, write down the value of ff -1(5). • Given functions f and g, find the function f –1g. • Given functions f and g, solve the equation f (x) = g –1(x).

Notes on Calculus (paragraph 3.4 of the specification)

Basic concepts and notation

Ideas of gradient of tangent and gradient of curve. y = xn ( grad = = nxn-1,

firstly for +ve integer n; then also n = 0, -1, -2.

Turning Points

Find TPs for quadratic, cubic, ax ( b/x .
Distinguish max/min by rough shape, e.g. shape of y = ax2 + bx + c is ∩ when a < 0. For ax ( b/x, if distinguishing max/min is required, the question will ask for the curve to be drawn first.

Typical Questions: • y = quadratic or cubic. Find the TP(s). State, with a reason, whether each is a max or min. • y = ax + b/x. See Question 13 below.

Rate of change
Know that is the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Typical Question: • See Question 14 below.

Kinematics
Quadratic, cubic, at ( b/t only. Notation

Typical Questions: • Given s in terms of t, find v and/or a at time t or at given time. • find max distance from starting point. • find t for given s, v, or a (requiring solutions of equations only within specification).

Practical problems
Typical Questions: • Easier type: See Question 12 below • Hardest type: See Question 16 below

Applications to coordinate geometry
Only very simple applications will be tested, possibly requiring understanding of y = mx + c.
Usually candidates will be led through step by step. See Questions 7, 15 below.

A few topics that are included in GCSE are not included in IGCSE. If a standard GCSE textbook is used, it is important to refer to the IGCSE specification and note which topics are not required.

If teachers wish to give an introduction to the concept of a limiting gradient, the following is adequate, though it will NOT be tested:

On the curve y = x2,
P(3, 32); Q1(3.1, (3.1)2); Q2(3.01, (3.01)2); etc
Find gradients of PQ1, PQ2, PQ3 . . .

dy dx The notation f /(x) and the terms
“derivative” and “derived function” are not required.

The language used will be “turning points”, “maximum”, “minimum”; not “stationary points”.
Points of inflexion are not required.

dy dx dy dx dy dx dy dx Vocabulary such as “One to one” and “Many to one” is not required

Notation for particular sets
(e.g. I is the set of integers, R is the set of real numbers) is not required.

Codomain is not required

Consideration of the gradient on either side is not required. d2y is not required. dx2 But candidates may use these methods if they wish.
